Link up here if you're playing along today!
Here we go...
1. What was the highlight of your week?
I've recently been able to get Radio Flyer scooters for the kids, and they've gotten proficient rather quickly on them. I love watching them zip, as a trio, around the neighborhood. I try to stand on one and can't do it, so I'm impressed with how well they've all been able to pick it up. It's wonderful watching them all getting along, too!
2. Whose car were you in last?
Ours, which is almost always the case. I rarely ride in anyone else's.
3. When is the next time you will kiss someone?
Sometime before the day is out, I'll have kissed everyone in my beloved family.
4. What color shirt are you wearing?

Not that one. I'm wearing a Victoria's Secret tanktop underneath an Old Navy t-shirt, because I was too lazy to throw on a brassiere. :P
5. How long is your hair?
About that long!
6. Are you good looking?
I don't know, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right? I hate my teeth and the fact that my eyebrows are a different color than my hair!
7. Last movie you watched?
This past week, we "forced" the kids to watch Grease one night and Dirty Dancing the next - the first time for them and about the 117th time (each) for me, since those are my favorite flicks. They all agreed they liked the former better than the latter. And they had a million questions about what was wrong with Penny in DD, so of course there was quite some discussion about some rather adult issues after that, but we don't shy away from such open discussion.
8. Who were you with?
The whole fam-damily watched together.
9. Last thing you ate?
We had a late-night date at The Cheesecake Factory last night. I opted for the Mac & Cheese balls. They're usually good, but last night all I could taste was excessive saltiness. Oh, and I had one bite of the strawberry cheesecake we brought home to the kids.
10. Last thing you drank?
In an effort to curb my drinking of Diet Coke, I've found myself drinking Diet Mt. Dew instead, I said with my tongue firmly lodged in my cheek. :/
The last alcoholic beverage I had was a glass of dessert wine from Schnebly's, the local winery a few miles down the road from here. I didn't like it, but the avocado wine (in this photo) we bought was definitely one we'll purchase again. So delish!
11. When was the last time you had your heart broken?
It's been a while. I'm good.
12. Who came over last?
Now that the public schools are out for summer, and my kids are out on their scooters all the time, it seems they're making a lot more friends. Yay! So they're always bringing someone new over to meet us - and our cats. lolz
13. Are you happy right now?
I had to post the shark one after yesterday's meme post, right?! Yes, I'm happy. I'm content.
14. What did you say last?
Hubs isn't feeling too well today, so I asked him how he was feeling now.
15. Where is your phone?
It's always right next to me, and if it's not, I panic just a li'l bit. Between that and my satchel, everything is in there but the fam!
16. What color are your eyes?
According to my blond, blue-eyed sister, my eyes are "shit-brown." They have rings of green around the edge, which is getting wider as I age. What will she call them when they're all green?
17. Are you left-handed?
I'm pretty evenly ambidextrous, like my grandfather. There are certain things I can only do righty, but certain things I can only do lefty. I'm left-eye and left-foot dominant, in case you were wondering that, too.
18. Spell your name without vowels:
MLN
Sometimes people spell my name, Melanie, and forget the "L," which always amuses me.
19. Do you have any pets?
We have two cats, including this Maine Coon, Pepper, who is just a love and a mush. We also have Muffin, who is a right pain in the ass. She clawed me on a vein recently, and I'm sporting an enormous, ugly bruise on my leg now. But I have love for her, too...
20. Favorite Vacation?
It will probably always be the Mediterranean cruise Hubs and I took in 2008. We started in Barcelona, then cruised to Venice. We visited Nice and Eze in France, stopped in Monaco, visited Lucca and Pisa in Italy, and we took a tour of Rome and stopped in Vatican City. We visited three ports in Greece and fell in love with Dubrovnik, Croatia, to my surprise. I wanted to ride a gondola in Venice, but I think we were broke by then! We flew out of Venice to Madrid before heading home, and that was interesting as well. That trip was just unforgettable. I blogged all about it here, if you're interested.
21. What do you dislike currently?
No personal offense to anyone who smokes, but I do not, and it really irritates me when people go outside to smoke and then stand RIGHT by the entrance/exit of wherever they've left to go do it, forcing the rest of us to walk through that noxious crap in order to get in/out of whatever hospital, or restaurant, or wherever. Really? You can't walk 20 feet further away?! My youngest, Sophia, is extremely vocal to these people. I tell the kids to hold their breath as we're passing through a cloud of The Gross, but she'll wave her hands around and grump about it. I don't stop her... #SorryNotSorry
22. What are you listening to?
I'm a pop music junkie. Right now MY song is playing, "Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley. It's my theme music.
23. If you could have one thing right now what would it be?
Right now, Hubs and I are in the serious preparation stages for living on a boat by the time I'm 40 in a couple of years. I'd give my left {Insert body part here} to have that life now! Even if it is currently thunderbooming and lightning...
24. What is your favorite scent?
I'm a fruity-scent girl, especially the citrus ones. Can't stand vanilla or the floral scents, blech, so not me.
25. Who makes you happiest?
Hubs, the love of my life, forever and always
26. What were you doing at midnight last night?
Driving home from our date with this in a box for the Littles
27. When is your birthday?
September 8th, which, with that year, should be easy to remember, right?! (Think about it...)
28. Who has the same phone as you?
I have an iPhone 5. I hear it's popular?
29. Last time you went swimming in a pool?
We went the other day. The kids were so mad when we had to leave because a baby puked in the pool. There's a much longer story in there about that, but I don't feel like going into it at the mo'.
Thanks for stopping by!
Fin.
