5QF - Clean Freak

It's Five Question Friday time and as always I love it, I love that it's Friday but today...today I have a dental appointment.  And I'm scared of the dentist.  Not because of what she said.  I really like her and she helps me feel comfortable but eihhh, the needle, the pointy things in my mouth, the gagging feeling.  I dread it.  I'm also reading to B's class directly after which should be funny since half my face might still be numb.  I'll be a hit with the kindergartner set.  Then on to B's skating party tonight.  That should be tons of fun since I wiped out last night and hurt every part of my body.  Did you know I'm accident prone?  I totally am.  Anyway, onto the show!  And here's your warning, I'm talkative today!  If you want to link up head on over to My Little Life and give Mama M a shout out for me!

1. Have you worn the same outfit more than one day in a row?
Guilty.  When I buy something new (under garments aside) I don't wash them at first.  I wear it a couple times and if I really really feel good in it, those times are on consecutive days.  Then I wash it.  You know it never fits the same after a wash.  Especially for someone like me with long gorilla arms.

2. If you had to choose any LARGE city to live in, which would it be?
Well I kind of live in one don't I?  I pick Kansas City.  It has everything for a family.  There are 50 communities united as one so we don't have to live "in the city".  There are so many activities, festivals, museums, restaurants, and venues for the arts that it really can't be beat.  I can get anywhere in 20 minutes or less, traffic isn't hideous and some smart fella planned the roads out to run north/south/east/west so no winding freeways, confusion and chaos I've seen in other cities.  Now if we can get Nip's family to move here!  T'would be really perfect!

3. Fly or drive with the kids on vacation?
I used to scream from the top of my lungs FLY!  But now that Bitty is a little older I'm not sure I could handle that.  She's a wonderful baby but very busy so I'm not sure I could entertain her.  And she doesn't watch tv so I couldn't distract her with that.  I think I want to drive to Colorado for spring break.  Ten + hours?  Well living in Louisville we drove the 11 hours to KC and back once a month so I think we could handle it.  And I've never seen the other side of Kansas which I hear is nothing to see but I've also heard God cleared the path so we can see clearly there.  I like the thought of that. 

4. What is your idea of "spring cleaning"?
Ewwww (excited squeals) I just love spring cleaning.  It's a fresh start, it ushers in the daffodils and warmer days.  I've already started actually.  It's a several week process around here.  I cleaned my car, had it detailed, put things up, cleared out toys to toss and give away (they are everywhere!), when I do my regular cleaning I also get the baseboards, dust around the upper corners of the rooms, ceiling fans, blinds, picture frames, lamp shades, move the furniture and vacuum there, toss old food, clear out clothes (more on this later as I'm participating in my 1st consignment sale at the trade center soon-any suggestions or helpful hints please???), I strip the beds of wintry linens and put down nice light spring ones, buy fresh flowers, dust off my shoes (yeah, I know) and clean up the yard.  Mmm, I love me some cleaning!  Call me Monica Gellar.

5. What is the best book you have ever read?
I wish I had more time to read but I just don't.  And honestly, the books that give me the best memories are those I read to my kiddos.  So I love You Can Do It Sam, Mama Llama series and Oh My Baby, Little One but my favorite?  Guess How Much I Love You.
