June 9th Questions:
1. Tell me, what do you have planned for father’s day? Do the kids really help you pick out a gift, or is it all you? If you don’t have a significant other, what do you have planned for your father? What gift do you plan on giving to the father in your life?
2. What did you do over the weekend?
3. What is your favorite saying, quote or expression? WHY is this your favorite? Is there a story behind your favorite quote?
4. How “green” are you? Tell us what you’re currently doing to help the planet. Tell us what you could do better to help the planet
My Answers:
1. ACK! My husband reads my blog so I can’t really tell you what we’ve got planned for his gift, but I can tell you what we’re going to do – whatever he wants to do. 😀 It’s his day, so we’ll let him choose his activities. Knowing him though? He’ll want to go go-cart racing or play tennis. The kids don’t really help me pick out the gift, but they do go with me when we purchase it and they pick out their own cards to give to him. Now for my father … I have no clue what I’m doing for him. I’ll have to ask my mom … “MOM! What does dad want for Father’s Day! HELP!”
2. My nephews spent all day Friday, Friday night and Saturday with us. However, that didn’t keep me from working out, tanning, grocery shopping and getting some chores done. We were going to take the boys go-cart racing, but it rained and they were too tired to go on Saturday (they stayed up till 4:00 a.m. I had to go to bed with my iPod in order to drown out the noise – not from the boys, but from my husband who snores REALLY LOUDLY).
3. My words to live by: “I believe that we are solely responsible for our choices, and we have to accept the consequences of every deed, word, and thought throughout our lifetime.” by Elisabeth Kubler. I’m a HUGE ADOVCATE of taking responsibility for one’s actions – do not point the finger at anything or anyone, be a decent human being and accept responsibility for your actions. Hence my favorite quote. ‘Nuff said. *crosses arms and nods brusquely*
4. Green? What’s that? *wink* Actually, we’re not terribly green, but we do try not to be a big burden on the environment (we could do better on the trash, though). We use energy effiicient lighbulbs. My husband We are ANAL about turning off lights when leaving the room. My husband drives his motorcycle to work every chance he gets, i.e. saving gas (he drives a Ford 150), we recycle containers and use them for various purposes (for example, my husband cut up some water jugs and used them to keep his tool doo-dads in.) And WHEN (I’m optimistic) they start mass producing electric cars, I’ll be the FIRST in line. 🙂

I love your quote!! I wish more people would own up to their actions! Have a great Monday!
