Meet me on Monday

Based on the original Meet Me on Monday hosted by Java at Never Growing Old, Heather over at Acting Balanced  posts 5 questions on Sunday evening along with a linky for you to link up your post answers!

Here are today's Questions:

1. What movie or movies do you have to watch when they are on TV? (submitted by @rndmcrftyGAgrl) - Well let's see - there's Sleepless in Seattle, and the original MASH, The Deer Hunter, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, The African Queen..... I like a lot of the old ones.
2. When you have out of town visitors, what fun places do you take them to in your town?  (Or where do you play tourist in your own town?) There are no fun places in my town.
3. What was the first album, CD, Download you ever bought? Oh my, you're talking YEARS AGO here - maybe Queen way back in the day.
4. Do you speak more than one language and which ones?  If not, what language would you like to know? I speak a little French, not much but I could maybe get by if I had to.
5. What is your dream job? Web designing would be awesome!

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, March 23rd:

1. If you were free to just hop in the car and drive, where would you go? Or, if you could hop a plane and go anywhere, where?

A road trip - Virginia here I come! Airplane - ENGLAND!

2. What's your most recently read favorite book?

I've been reading Brenda's Books. Just finished Restored Hope. They are all good but I think my favorite so far is Hidden Truths.

3. What's your favorite Spring Break memory?

Years ago, I went to FL on Spring Break with four other girls. We had a blast!

4. What do you put in your child's Easter basket? Or, for those w/o kids, what was put in your childhood basket?

Candy of course, dollar store toys, coloring books, new socks and underwear! They always called it their "Easter undies." Story time - when my son was 7 or 8, I put some cute little boxers in his basket. He ran to try them on. When he came back into the living room he had them on over his briefs. I told him they were underwear and he went running back into his room. He came out a little later and plopped down on the couch beside me and said, "Mom, I like these, will you get me some more?" It was one of those moments you never forget - seems like yesterday - and now he has a son of his own!

5. Do you get a summer haircut?

Nope - every once in a while I'll get my hair chopped off but I always end up growing it back out and for some reason, it's always during the winter when I get it cut.
