Safe at home

| | Comments (0)
I love rainy days, just not too many of them in succession. As all three of us have bad colds, I decided to keep Firstborn home from school today and declare a "Stay In Your Pajamas All Day".....day. Everyone except for poor Papa who had to schlep off to work today.

Now that I'm not running around town with errands and dropoffs and stuff, I actually have time to write here! Watch out, I've been keeping a running list of things I have to write about here, first off being the most honest mechanic EVER (he's in Arcadia.)

But now the boys have discovered I've left them and they're playing around me, tossing Lego Star Wars figures and racing Hot Wheels on the carpet. So for something quick and fun: a Friday Feast!


Appetizer

What is the nearest big city to your home? Los Angeles with all it's traffic and one-way streets. I try to avoid driving there at all costs!

Soup

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets? Oooh, good one! Unfortunately the answer is 6, not so good, especially if it's good news. Bad news spreads quickly in my family too. Fortunately for me, my circle of friends is small, and my best confidante remains Hubby, who can totally keep a secret!

Salad

Describe your hair (color, texture, length). Haven't had a haircut IN A YEAR. Don't feel TOO sorry for me, though, finances are not THAT tight. I got my hair straightened in the Philippines last year, a treatment called Japanese hair straightening that can cost up to $400 here. Well, convert it to pesos and it only cost $80 in Manila. Of course, I also got a mani/pedi and some color so the bill came up to about $200, heehee! Ergo, I promised Hubby I wouldn't spend money on the usual $40-$70 haircut (Tantrum in Covina) for a while. My usual black, thick, steel-wool-texture-on-bad-days hair badly needs a trim now though. I know because all I can do with it now is tie it in a ponytail.

Main Course

What kind of driver are you?  Courteous?  Aggressive?  Slow?

I didn't start driving till I was 21, so I was the typical granny driver, slow and easy. But now I'm OK. With kids, you're more conscious of manners all around and boy are they the best deterrent to road rage. Muttered insults and curses from the driver's seat hardly gets past them. I just say, "Promise me you won't drive like that crazy driver over there!"

Dessert

When was the last time you had a really bad week?

I tend to erase bad memories from my hard drive as soon as they happen, so even if I wanted to, I can't remember! (How's THAT for self-preservation?) I DO remember a week when I left the car keys in the car TWICE, and scraped the side of a tow truck with my side mirrors, but I was heavily pregnant then and got off easy, both with the tow truck driver AND Hubby, who sweetly said, "As long as you're OK...."
