Friday Fives.....

Suzanne over at Southern Inspiration had a fun game on her blog today that I participated in and I wanted to share it with you too. I always love learning about my followers and I'm sure you do too. Take a moment to look at the questions and post your answers in the comments so that we can all get to know each other a little better!

You can copy and paste the questions in the comment box if you want...I'm all for easy. (Although I couldn't figure out how to do that. What else is new?)

Anyway, on to our Friday Fives....

1. Coffee or tea...which do you prefer?

2. Favorite hobby?

3. If you were given an all expense paid trip, where would you like to go? To an island or to the mountains?

4. You are given 8 hours to spend on yourself... what will you use it for?

5. If you could redo/redecorate any room in your house, which would you choose first?

Thanks for being such great blogger friends!!! Have a great Friday and enjoy your weekend!
After being frozen for the past month, we are having temperatures today up near 60!! Won't that be great? I am looking forward to lunch with girlfriends and then a walk in the park this afternoon! Continue to pray for the people in Haiti.

  1. 1. Sweet tea!!! I drink sweet iced tea 365 days a year. I am a true Southern girl. I also like hot tea as well. Although I love the smell of coffee brewing, I have never acquired a taste for it.

    2. My favorite hobby is quilting. I love to sew and make quilts. I also enjoy knitting and scrapbooking.

    3. Although I love the mountains and my sister lives there, I would choose an island. I especially enjoy the beach and warm weather!

    4. If I had 8 hours to spend on myself, I would love to spend it with my girls doing "girlie" things. Getting a manicure/pedicure, eating lunch, shopping for Lilly, going to Barnes and Noble, laughing & talking with each other. I love time with my girls!!!

    5. If I could redo any room in my house, it would be my kitchen. The kitchen is the heart of the home and I LOVE to cook. I would enjoy a totally modern and updated kitchen.

  2. Hi Melinda...it's so nice to see you back on your blog! I answered on Suzannes but will post here too.

    1.Coffee or tea...which do you prefer?
    Coffee first thing in the morning but then tea the rest of the day.

    2.Favorite hobby?
    blogging, reading, scrapbooking

    3.If you were given an all expense paid trip, where would you like to go? To an island or to the mountains?

    island

    4.You are given eight hours to spend on yourself--what will you use it for?

    blogging, reading, scrapbooking

    5. If you could redo/redecorate any room in your house, which would you choose first?

    I'm in a new house which is mostly the way we want it...I'll say my oldest daughter's room...trying to use all the bedrooms as guest rooms too since my kids mostly live away from home now.

    Have a great weekend!

  3. 1. Coffee or tea...which do you prefer? Can't decide...probably sweet tea with lime!

    2. Favorite hobby? Buying for my granddaughters

    3. If you were given an all expense paid trip, where would you like to go? To an island or to the mountains? Mountains

    4. You are given 8 hours to spend on yourself... what will you use it for? Playing with my granddaughters...hey, that's for me!

    5. If you could redo/redecorate any room in your house, which would you choose first? My master bath. It is AWFUL!

  4. 1. I like tea. 2. I enjoy quilt making and various paper crafts (scrapbooking, origami, etc...). 3. I'd go to the mountains. I love cool air and tall trees and taking hikes. 4. I'd start the day having a wonderful and silly breakfast time with my college kids, then I'd go out to some antique/vintage shops with my sisters,and in the eve I'd go have a wonderful dinner out with my honey. 5. Probably the master bedroom. It's the only room in the house we haven't done anything to and it's looking really dated. Or maybe i should say the kitchen, because I want a new stovetop. Can I say the whole house? LOL!! We have a LOT of projects we need to work on.

  5. 1. Coffee or tea...which do you prefer? I definitely PREFER Loose Leaf Brewed Tea. Never acquired the taste for coffee either.

    2. Favorite hobby? I have so many!! I love Antiquing with Tom...Making Blog and Shop Banners...Sewing...Decorating..........

    3. If you were given an all expense paid trip, where would you like to go? To an island or to the mountains? Since I grew up in Wisconsin (only moved to Michigan 5 years ago)...and I've lived in Arizona and Tennessee...and I don't favor going anywhere island-ey or really mountain-ey either.......I would opt to go on a trip from Michigan to Indiana...on to Wisconsin. In Indiana, I'd want to spend a month at our favorite vacation home there...then, in Wisconsin, stay a couple of weeks in the Milwaukee area, visiting relatives and re-connecting with old friends...then on to Door County in Northeastern Wisconsin. I'd love to spend a MONTH in a HIDE-AWAY there...with fireplace, view of the water, porches...a walk-out to the lake........oh yeah.......that's what I would do.

    4. You are given 8 hours to spend on yourself... what will you use it for? A Spa 1/2 Day (I went for a 1 1/2 hour massage today)...followed by lunch and an Antiquing trip.

    5. If you could redo/redecorate any room in your house, which would you choose first? I laughed when I read this question. You see, I decorated this house from top to bottom when we moved into it 4 years ago. And for the past 5 months, I've been working on re-decorating it ENTIRELY...different colors, different styles...EVERYTHING!! I only have a couple more rooms to do, then I'm done. I've painted, sewn window treatments...everything myself so far. That's why I laughed. I wanna be DONE!! LOL!!

  11. Hi- Just wanted to stop by and say thanks for the sweet comment on my blog. I am with you- the flylady emails are very overwhelming and I much prefer the book so I can go at my own pace. I think you can get it on amazon for like $10. Let me know if you want to join us for flylady fridays over at southern savvy- we would love to have you.

  12. A fun getting-to-know-you post:

    1) Tea (hot...Irish Breakfast right now; cold...unsweetened, NO lemon ~ am I totally un-Southern?)

    2) Reading....books, blogs, Bible ~ depending on the mood I'm in

    3) Mountains!

    4) Spa day with my girlfriends...and a nap!

    5) My laundry room (size of a postage stamp...a man definitely designed this house), and the closets ~ although a good size, not designed well at all.

    Have a good week!
