FF: obtuse people, patience (or lack thereof), secret lives, and IKEA napkins

How did the week fly by so fast? I'm always flabbergasted when Mondays and Fridays roll around... I'd like to think that it's a good sign, indicative of the fact that my life life is full and that I am not one desperate housewife (by the way, how anticlimactic was that finale? Shame, shame Mr. Cherry, you must do better with Devious Maids, y'hear?)

Where was I? Ah yes, Friday.. time for another fun blog hop! The Four Fill-in fun is hosted by Hilary, the cutie-pie behind Feeling Beachie. She posted a view of the beach from her house a few days ago, let's just say that I now understand why she is... well, "feeling beachie" all the time. Besides having a massive girl-crush on her, I now have a serious case of the envies on top (I may or may not have been scheming to extract an invite). She is always open to new co-hosts, so come up with your own fill-ins and email them to her at feelingbeachie@gmail.com

I have met some very cool bloggers during these hops so I love participating whenever I can. Of course, they have met me too, so there's that win-win, right there :)

The drill? You answer the questions on your own blog, you link up, you hop, you meet the new people and schmooze with the regulars. Of course, you also get to follow me, and I you, if you wish... Pick your poison: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Blogger, RSS feed or email, my other blog, The Behavioral Child (shameless plug, I know, I know, but I just got back into the swing of posting there again, so...)

As usual, you can play the fill-in game, with or without following, with or without hopping. No problemo!

This week's statements:

1. I like to avoid _____ if possible.
2. _____ is a virtue I do not have.
3. Sometimes the _____ are the _____.
4. I think that _____ are the best _____.

My answers:

1. I like to avoid obtuse people if (and whenever) possible. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind repeating myself, or saying it differently, several time, but if it's gonna take you forever to get a simple concept that a 5 year-old can get in under two minutes, we're not gonna be best buds, that's for sure. I just don't have that kinda patience!
2. Patience is a virtue I do not have. Doh!
3. Sometimes, the parents are the last to know. It won't matter whether you have a really tight relationship with your kid or not, once they start school, they have this whole life without you. Not good, not bad, just a whole other life, unbeknownst to you.
4. I think that IKEA napkins are the best ones on the market. I'm talking about the disposable paper/dinner napkins. They have the cutest designs, are well priced (almost always on sale), and in surprising good quality (which reminds me, I gotta get me some for my Memorial Day BBQ).

follow friday: nuclear, spitting, crying, and millionaires

Why, yes. This is a another blog hop! But this time, Hilary, the cutie-pie behind Feeling Beachie and the host of this fun Follow Friday, made me the co-host. Weee! I am quite proud of the fact that I came up with some of the questions... I think. (It was late and I couldn't sleep and I can't find the email I sent her, but if she says so, I'll take it! With GLEE!).


The drill? You link up, you hop, you meet new people or schmooze with the regulars. Of course, you also get to follow me, and I you, if you wish... Pick your poison: 
Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Blogger, RSS feed or email, my other blog


You can play the fill-in game without following or hopping too, no problemo! (Yes, I'm talking to you, Heather, you cheeky girl :P)


I'll let Hilary do the explaining:

My answers: 

1. I can't stand it when people say "nuclear" wrong. What the hell is Noo-keel-er? Or supposably. ARGH that's NOT a word!

2. If you are going to spit in the middle of the street, please make sure that I'm not around. I think it's incredibly disgusting and I will not be shy about letting you know it. And don't even think about gathering your phlegm with that awful guttural noise.

3. Call me a cry baby, because I cry when watching sappy movies. I mean I know they're manipulating my emotions, but I am apparently very easy to manipulate, a willing participant in the subterfuge.
