Five Question Friday

Time to head over to Mama M's at My Little Life for 5 question Friday!

Rules for 5QF: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for the linky post to appear and LINK UP!

Questions for Friday, July 6th.

 1. Is love at 1st sight possible? I think "attraction" is definitely possible at first sight but loves takes time to grow.

2. How did you choose your pet's name? Kimmy - I inherited from my son - he named her. Pandora - I've always loved the name and it's the first thing I thought of when I saw her. Macy - Biz named her - said she just looked like a Macy.

3. What are you considering giving up (cable, home phone)? I would love to give up the home phone but I can't get internet without it.

4. How much do you pay your babysitter? I can honestly say I never hired a babysitter. My kids did go to daycare when they were little but I never was comfortable leaving them with a sitter while I went out and had fun.

5. How "young" is old enough to babysit? I used to babysit - I think I started when I was around 14. I think it depends on the sitter and how responsible they are.

Chats on the Farmhouse Porch

It's time to head over to Patrice's porch for the weekly chat.

Questions

1. What are your plans for the 4th of July?
2. What's your favorite ethnic food?
3. What's your least favorite chore?
4. What really "stopped you in your tracks" and made you think twice?
5. Would you rather dry your clothes on a clothes line or in a dryer?

My Answers

1. I really don't have any special plans but will spend time in the pool and probably grill out.
2. I'm going to have to go with Mexican, although I do like Chinese too.
3. Ironing - and I had to do it just the other day - all my work shirts were pretty sad looking.
4. Things like the Oklahoma City bombing and 911 really threw me for a loop. The worst is when son calls and says he's going on a TDY but can't tell me anything about it - not even where he's going.
5. On the line! Nothing is better than line dried sheets.
