Five Things

What better way to get back into blogging than to take part in Mama Kat's Writer's Workshop??


Every week you’re invited to join me in Writer’s Workshop by responding to one of the provided writing prompts posted each Tuesday. The directions are simple:

Choose a writing prompt from the list provided that inspires you most.
Write.
Come back this Thursday and paste the URL from your post into the list of links that will be displayed…this way anyone can click on your post thumbnail and head over to your place to see what you wrote.
To view more detailed instructions on how this weekly meme works, check out the Writer’s Workshop FAQs.

Writing Prompts:
1.) What did you go through in order to get out? “The best way out is always through” (Inspired by Shatterboxx and some dude named Robert Frost)

2.) Five Things. List 5 things we don’t know about you, 5 things you’re knowledgeable about, 5 things you know nothing about, and 5 things you believe. (inspired by LouLou’s Views)

3.) The first of December is upon us! Describe an Advent Calendar or a special way you count down days until Christmas (past or present). (Inspired by Classy Chaos)

4. Kids say the darndest things…describe a time a child’s honesty made you think. (Inspired by Ashley’s Closet)

5.) Tell us the story of how your pet came to be a member of your family. (Inspired by Busy Day Blog)

I chose prompt 2.

Five things you don't know about me:

1. I'm 5'1". I haven't grown since the eighth grade. Not my height, my feet, my boobs...nothing. Except my butt. I'd gladly trade bigger boobs for a smaller butt. Like, who wouldn't?

2. I hate white socks. I'm not sure I own any, matter of fact. Argyle are my favorite.

3. I can't stand to drink red wine unless I'm having a meal with it. Pinot Grigio, on the other hand, I can drink whenever and wherever.

4. I really want another baby.

5. I have a new obsession with yellow and grey together.


Five things I'm knowledgeable about:

1. Airplanes. I know way more than any girl (who's not a pilot) should know. I love airplanes, what can I say?

2. Pre-teen girl attitudes. Unfortuanely, this is something I've learned a lot about lately.

3. Kenny Chesney.

4. Hanging pictures without measuring, leveling, etc. It's a gift. I hang them perfectly every time.

5. Loving two little girls more than anything.

Five things I know nothing about:

1. Desperate Housewives

2. Grey's Anatomy

3. Sex in the City

4. Real Housewives of _________.

5. Or any other show that normal women watch.

Five things I believe:

1. I believe that sometimes moving on is the best thing you can do.

2. I believe that no one can make you feel inferior without your consent. (Thanks, Elanor.)

3. I believe that God has a plan. And He knows what He's doing.

4. I believe that a glass of wine fixes a LOT of things.

5. I believe that my girls are my saving grace.

You should remedy the Grey's Anatomy situation! While you're at it, add Private Practice, too! Both are back, to back, on Thursday nights! Although, I think Grey's is taking a "holiday vacation" till around January. :(

I know nothing about Grey's Anatomy either. Never watched it. Sadly I do know a lot about the rest of the shows you mentioned.

Me too! I scoff at levelers!!

And, all the shows you listed, I watch, but I am not normal...

I believe God has a plan and He knows what He is doing, too.

I haven't watched any of those shows either.

Now, I'm jealous of your picture-hanging abilities! It is sorely needed at my abode.

Hi, popping over from Mama Kat's.

I too want another baby. But know nothing about pre-teen girl attitudes. (However, in about eight years I'll be all over that. And maybe turning to you for advice.)
