I'll give it a shot ....m


1) What did you do to celebrate the 4th of July holiday?

Very little. Took advantage of a 2 for 1 smoothie offer, watched the fireworks from Universal Studios complex from the front yard. Drank too many margaritas.

2) How many baskets do you have in your home?

Not counting laundry baskets of the Rubbermaid variety: 18, give or take.

3) What type of clothing do you wear most often?

Shorts -- I live in Florida, for goodness' sake! Or long loose shifty things.

4) How many times do you hit the clock’s snooze button before you get out of bed?

None -- set the alarm for the last possible get-up-time.

5) What is the most common excuse you use when you don’t feel like writing?

It's usually the other way -- what excuse to avoid RL stuff so I can write.

My answers


1) What did you do to celebrate the 4th of July holiday?

Very little. We rested at home and had sort of an indoor barbecue (our condo complex doesn't permit outdoor grills!).

2) How many baskets do you have in your home?

Only one.

3) What type of clothing do you wear most often?

During the summer, I wear shorts, Tevas, and a T-shirt. During the winter, my standard outfit is jeans, a turtleneck, and wool clogs. If I have to see someone important, I might exchange the clogs for a pair of black loafers.

4) How many times do you hit the clock’s snooze button before you get out of bed?

None -- and I won't let my husband snooze either. When the alarm goes off, it's time to get up. End of story.

5) What is the most common excuse you use when you don’t feel like writing?

Anything to do with the purchase or preparation of food.

My F5 (m)


1) What did you do to celebrate the 4th of July holiday?

The hubby and I grilled out hamburgers, since it was only the second one I’ve had in 90 days I REALLY enjoyed it.

2) How many baskets do you have in your home?

Too many -- at least 20 in my dining room and then maybe four more scattered throughout the rest of the house.

3) What type of clothing do you wear most often?

I go for the comfortable casual look, which means cotton shirt and shorts in the summer and sweater and jeans in the winter.

4) How many times do you hit the clock’s snooze button before you get out of bed?

At least three times. I hate mornings!!!

5) What is the most common excuse you use when you don’t feel like writing?

That my desk needs reorganizing.

Friday!


1) What did you do to celebrate the 4th of July holiday? Well, it was sorta pathetic. Slept in, lounged around the house, drank a lot of tea and soda to try and shake a cold, wrote a bit, read a bit, watched some of the Fawlty Towers special BBC America ran.

2) How many baskets do you have in your home? Good Lord, Mac, I have no idea. One large one in the living room for the newspapers, lots of smaller ones around the house to collect bits of mail I feel I should keep but don't need to open and eventually throw away, or move into another basket.

3) What type of clothing do you wear most often? Natural fibres--silk, cotton, linen. Comfy stuff.

4) How many times do you hit the clock’s snooze button before you get out of bed? I don't set the clock radio anymore because my husband has the distressing habit of setting it to the CNN news station, and at around 6 or 7 you usually get a senate sub-committee session on some extraordinarily boring topic, lots of loud, monotonous lawyer-type voices droning away ... so I've trained myself to wake up shortly before 7. Then I doze for a while, wondering which of the morning's activities--shower, breakfast, make lunch--I can reasonably skip, if any. I'll find out how effective this has been on Mon when I'll go back to work after 4 days off.

5) What is the most common excuse you use when you don’t feel like writing? Hmmm... think I'll check my email, frolic on ivillage, visit a few favorite sites ...

Very late Saturday Five...


And it'll register as Sunday on iVillage :)

1) What did you do to celebrate the 4th of July holiday?

For Canada Day I had coffee and read in a coffee shop for many hours. Went for a stroll and picked up some veggies, made veggie chili. Was asleep before the fireworks :)

For July 4? Went to work, lol.

2) How many baskets do you have in your home?

One - for laundry. But I have a small home.

3) What type of clothing do you wear most often?

Jeans, jeans, and more jeans. T-shirts in summer, sweaters and more sweaters in winter. Typically I'm cold, even at work in the summer, so I have a fleece within reach at all times.

4) How many times do you hit the clock’s snooze button before you get out of bed?

It depends. I used to leap out of bed without touching snooze. Dunno what happened, but now I know the snooze addiction.

5) What is the most common excuse you use when you don’t feel like writing?

That I write all day long at work!

Have a good weekend, EW

My FF:


1) What did you do to celebrate the 4th of July holiday? My daughter and I washed my car, had a water ballon fight and then bathed the dog while my husband grilled out steak and BQ porkchops for us. It was a great day, only way it could have been better; if my 16 year old son would have been home with us.

2) How many baskets do you have in your home? 5

3) What type of clothing do you wear most often? t-shirt and shorts.

4) How many times do you hit the clock’s snooze button before you get out of bed? Only once!

5) What is the most common excuse you use when you don’t feel like writing? My back or fingers are hurting. I really do have arthritis.

A belated "Happy Canada Day" to you!!! (m)


I almost put a sidenote for our Canadian friends, like you, but didn't.

Speaking of the job, how's it going?
