Aloha Friday

 

 

I'm linking up with Kailani at An Island Life for Aloha Friday, a day to take it easy on blogging and ask a fun and simple question to share with others and visit others to make new bloggy friends.

My question:

 

Do you have any movies you would currently like to see?

 

Like I mentioned in my last post I am going out with four of my gal pals this weekend and since I picked Bridesmaids the last time, I let them pick and we are going to see I Don't Know How She Does It.  It seems kind of ironic to me since we are five mommies, four of the five working, and this is supposed to be a get away, and yet we are going to watch a movie about an overworked mommy.  Hopefully it is a good one!

My question:

What is your favorite flavor of cake?

I really want to make cupcakes this weekend, so I am trying to figure out what to make.  My favorite is definitely chocolate, but I love cake and have never tried a flavor I did not like!

Aloha!

My question:

Do you have a song(s) that takes you back and reminds you of something from your past?

I have a lot of songs like this, but today I was driving around for work and Whitesnake's "Here I go again" came on the radio.  It made me think of a group of friends I had in high school who actually went to the high school just east of mine, but we became acquainted through extracurricular activities.  For their class song they picked "Here I go again" which was even funny at the time because we graduated in 1997, and that song was released in 1982.  It seems like high school was eons ago, but that song brought back a lot of memories!

My question:

Have you ever had to call 911, or if you are in anther country whatever the emergency number is?

I don't really know what go me thinking about this, but it is something I am curious about.  I have called it twice. 

The first time I was in college and lived in an apartment complex next to the junior high/high school.  I was heading home after class as all the high schoolers were heading home.  I heard brakes squeal and looked in my rear view mirror to see that a car in the oposing lane stopped and in front of it there was a boy splayed out on the road off of his bike.  I called 911 and they were asking me all kinds of questions that I couldn't answer from my truck so I pulled in and parked and walked back to the accident.  The boy eventually was able to get up and even talked on my phone to the dispatcher, then the ambulance arrived.  They checked him out and he was ok, but of course I'm sure the girl who was driving the car got ticketed.   

The second time I was driving down here for my job interview and it was raining pretty hard all day.  I came through a canyon on the I-70 corridor through Utah and came around the corner where I saw a big rock in the middle of my lane.  I was able to manuver around it, but it was getting later in the evening and I worried that someone might come around the corner in the dark, not see it and hit it.  As soon as I got into cellular range I called.  The dispatcher really hastled me on trying to describe the size of the rock.  I tried to tell her it was a really big rock, or a small boulder.  If a truck with high clearance went over it they might clear it, but if a car went over it, they would have severe damage.  She still wanted to know what object I could compare it to in size.  Some time later after I moved down here I saw the Utah Department of Transportation fixing that particular spot in the road where the rock slide caused damage.

My question is:

Do you use cruise control?

I am a cruise control addict and hate to get behind someone who is what I call a yo-yo driver.  You know, one second their flying and the next poking along at snail speed and back and forth.  It always seems like they go fast when you can pass, then slow down in no passing zones.  I don't get road rage though, I just try to pass as soon as I safely can. I always use cruise control and even will sometimes use it in town when there is not a lot of traffic.  I like maximizing my speed and keeping it in check so I don't get a ticket.

I thought about this question because I live in a highly popular area for tourists and this is the time of year you know they are here because I am always getting stuck behind them as they admire the red rock cliffs.

My question:


What is/are your go to meals when you have company?

My in-laws are visiting for the next week.  My father-in-law loves to eat out, so we usually go out quite a bit, but mother-in-law is more frugal and likes to eat at home so we need balance.  I am feeling uninspired, so give me some ideas!!!  I made lasagna last night and it was good, but I probably need 3-4 more meals to prepare.

My question:

What is your favorite hobby?

I  am working on my son's quilt at the moment so I am doing  a lot of embroidery at the moment.  I started to prep my garden area though, so I am getting excited about gardening again this year.

My question:

What is your favorite way to exercise/lose weight?

My last post talks about my plans to get in shape and lose weight.  I think my favorite way to work out is to swim, especially since I have bad knees and swimming puts more of the focus on my arms.  To bad that where I live there are only outdoor pools so my swimming is limited to June-August!
