fill in the blank friday.

Yay!  Friday is finally here!

It’s Fill in the Blank Friday, so feel free to play along.  Just fill in the blanks over at your blog and then copy the link and paste it in the linky below so we can all read your blanks.  It’s a great way to meet fun new bloggers! 

1.   My favorite quote is       I can’t decide…I love too many. Currently I’m loving this quote, “You’re considered superficial and silly if you are interested in fashion, but I think you can be substantial and still be interested in frivolity.” – Sofia Coppola.  Here are some others that I love….   .

2.  A bad habit I have is    picking my nail polish. It’s terrible! I can’t keep nail polish on to save my life! Also gum chewing…I don’t think it’s such a bad habit, but I guess some people would. I probably chew a pack a week and I can’t workout without it. I feel like it keeps me hydrated. Maybe it’s in my mind. Most likely. But, I don’t care   .

3.  The first time I felt like a “grown up” was       when Craig and I were road tripping to Whistler for our honeymoon. We stopped at a drive-thru and Craig ordered a hamburger or something. When we pulled back on the road I took Craig’s food out of the bag and fixed his burger for him – unwrapped it part way and added ketchup and then passed it to him. All of a sudden I remembered my mom doing that exact thing for my dad on countless road trips and I totally felt like a for real grown up. It was strange    .

4.  Weekends are   what gets me through the week. They are for recharging and for spending time with friends and family and for having marathons of watching tv series on dvd and for eating real meals instead of frozen waffles with nutella like I have been for the past two nights    .

5.  When I was a child I wished my name was     Zooey. So bad. I tried to get my mom to change it, to no avail. I vowed I would name my first child Zooey one day, but I am not quite as keen on the name now. This is not nearly as cool as my friend Claire – she wanted her name changed to be “heart-star-rainbow”. True story. It makes me laugh every time she tells it :).  .

6.  I wish        I was clever enough to figure out how to make a living without working at a 9-5 (or rather 8-6) job. I’m kind of over work this week. As much as I love my kiddos and my co-workers, I sometimes feel like I need a break. If you have any genius ideas that will make me wealthy beyond my wildest dreams (or just help me pay the bills) then let me know :). Oh…but no pyramid schemes…I’m not nearly persuasive enough for that     .

7.  A secret I have is       that I can’t swallow pills and I take gummy vitamins and they’re awesome. Nothing starts a day off better than candy for grownups. Sometimes I want to eat extra, but I’m not really sure what that would do to me. Probably just make me pee a weird color, but still not chancing it     .

What are you up to this weekend?

  1. I can totally swallow pills but I still take gummy vitamins. In fact, I bought Disney Princess Gummy Vitamins because they were on sale. I too secretly wish I could just down the entire bottle, but I think you’re right about it messing up my pee or something.

  2. I love these, this weeks made me laugh! 🙂

  3. I like the name Zooey. I think that’s cute!

    Girl, I wish your wish came true. I don’t think anybody wants to work a full-time job. I surely don’t. When your wish comes true, can you tell the Genie to grant me the same wish, too! Thanks.

    I love fill in fridays. They are sooo much fun!

  4. I love that image, I’d like to live in it until spring. Thanks for these, they’re fun!

  5. This was my first time doing “fill in the blank Friday”. It was super fun! Thank you! I am the same way with pills, I hate pills. I eat my daughters gummy vitamins =) Happy Friday!

  6. I totally pick my nail polish too. It’s fine till it chips and then I can’t stop myself.

  7. flintstone gummies!? seriously delicious and you’re right – it’s a cute way to start the day 🙂 also typing this I realized its the flinTstones and not the flinstones like I originally thought. goodness! who knew?!

  8. haha i HATE swallowing pills! and gummy vitamins are the best! i should probably go pick up some of those! and if you get any tips on how to be wealthy without working 8-5 let me know! i could use them!

    haha when i was younger i recieved a cabbage patch doll as a gift. she came with a birth certificate and her name was Beatrice or something. i was in LOVE with the name Kathy Diane. I don’t know why… so i figured since i couldn’t change my name i would change hers. and i did. got a new birth certificate and everything.

    my mom wanted to change her name from Stacy to Danger. since her mom wouldn’t let her she legally had it changed to Staci because she thought Stacy with a y was a boy name! anyway i love you sweet girl! hope you have a fabulous day!! 🙂

  9. I am soooo with you on #6. I wish I had a special talent or skill that could earn money.

  10. I refuse to take anything other then gummy vitamins. And I’m not going to lie, I have been known to eat a few more then necessary. And, so far, no colorful pee!

  11. ha! i have suddenly lost my ability to swallow pills. even little bity ones. do love me some gummy vitamins though. don’t worry- i’ve been known to pop a few extras. 🙂 no harm done!

  12. That story about you fixing Craig’s burger on your road trip was seriously so cute! It made me go “awww” in me head 🙂

    Happy Friday!

  13. Haha I never get to filling out the blanks but I love reading yours! I just wanted to let you know that I wanted my name to be Suzie and that I couldn’t swallow pills until a few years ago when I had strep throat and had to take penicillin (horse pills) and they were so giant even though I chopped them in half. Also, they don’t make gummy prenatals so you’ll have to figure it out someday 🙂 Once when I was 2 I snuck a bottle of Flinstone vitamins into my room and ate the whole thing. They were good. Last week at Costso I was considering getting the adult gummy vitamins but figured Chris would probably make fun of me. I wold totally get them though. Maybe I can share with Bennett once he starts taking them, I’m sure he won’t mind. Happy Friday!

  14. i am soooo with you on wanting to ditch the 9-5 job. hopefully we will figure it out one day. i’m really hoping to get there by the time we do have kids so i can stay at home!!

  15. Yay Lauren! I had fun joining in on this. I’ll have to start thinking of some genius money- making ideas for you. I scheme up things all the time and Daniel thinks I’m ridiculous. So, they might not be the greatest ideas, but I guarantee, they’ll make you laugh:-)

    P.S. As a kid I HAD to learn fast how to swallow pills, because I gagged every time I did the kids chewable ones. Weird. And Yay Blazers! Such a good game!

  16. Aw, I love your grown-up moment. So cute. I do that for my boyfriend all the time. 🙂

  17. I didn’t even know gummy vitamins existed! I will have to look for them next time.
    Also, I thought it was really funny last night when you facebooked me about the Blazers Dancers uniforms. I’m glad there is someone out there that I can discuss their terrible uniform choices with now.

  18. I have a terrible habit at picking at my nailpolish as well. Haha. And when I was little I wanted to be named Ariel. Haha.

  21. Looks like the gummy vitamins are popular over there in the States! 🙂 Hope that you enjoy your weekend- they really are worth the hard work of the week aren’t they.

  22. I have missed two weeks of Fill in the Blank Friday. It’s been busy at work and at the end of the week, my brain shuts off. This makes it hard for me to fill in the blanks.

    I really need to find a quote that inspires me. I see that question a lot, “what’s your favorite quote” and I can never answer it. I should put this on my 34 for 34 list.
