Today's Friend Makin' Monday is being hosted by Shawn over at Seriously!

If you'd like to join in, copy these questions and post them on your blog with your own answers.

Here are this week's Friend Makin' questions:

What are you doing this July 4th?

I'm not sure. I will be our first free weekend in over a month! Our house is for sale so we might use my husband's time off to go look at houses. I think I'll throw some ribs on the grill too!

What is your favorite dish to pass when attending a 4th of July party or summer barbecue?

Hmmm...I'm a dessert person so something festive and yummy! I like to decorate fun cupcakes or make a decorated melon bowl for a fruit salad. My kids always like making red white and blue jello parfaits!

Do you have any July 4th traditions?

No, we have a parade here in town, but usually just my husband and daughter go to it. My son and I are party poopers and don't want to go out in the heat!

I'd like to have an annual July 4th party/cookout. I'm really just waiting to see if we will me moving or not.




Share your favorite July 4th picture.

This is my son on his first 4th of July! My sister made him the little outfit.

Kasey at All That is Good is hosting friend making Monday today.

Today's task is confessions.

So here goes...

I've eaten more jellybeans out of the candy dish than the kids have!

I slip off to my room and watch Days of our Lives when we are home...usually leaving the kids watching their own TV show or playing video games. I know, I know, but I've been watching it since I was in college!

I don't always listen to what my kids tell me. Sometimes I just nod and say ok!

I often forget to put sunscreen on my kids. I'm getting better about this, but I'm still not diligent.

I'm scared of spiders and I used to have nightmares about them!

I once lost my car in the parking lot at college and had to get the security guard to drive me around looking for it! I thought it was stolen, but I was in a hurry that morning and parked in a place I didn't normally park.

Today's task: Copy and paste these questions to your blog and give them your own answers.

You wouldn't be caught dead where: A Rascal Flatts concert! Blahhhh!

Do you have any hidden talents? Hmmm... maybe writing poetry

Name two things you consider yourself to be very good at: Cooking and organizing things

Name two things you consider yourself to be very bad at: Math and having patience when driving :)

Have you ever won a trophy? A trophy, no, but I won a medal for acting in our one act play in high school.

Name one thing not many people know about you: I dropped a computer class in college because I just couldn't figure out what to do with a computer. I was very intimidated by computers for a long time.

Name your earliest memory: I can remember part of a birthday party when I got a baby bed for my doll.

What was your favorite musical group in jr. high? Bon Jovi

What was something the worst roommate you ever had did?: Threw a Christmas party and ran the A/C (that I was paying half the bill for) really cold so she could light a fire in the fireplace. Then, she left all the food out over night. When I got back the next day the house was trashed, there were flies everywhere and she was asleep in her room with some guy. After I moved out (early...because we obviously weren't getting along) I lost my half of the deposit because she left the house a mess when she moved out. I could go on and on about this one! Needless to say I never had another roommate after that!

When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up?: An actress

What was your worst dating experience?: My sophomore year in high school my best friend talked me into going to prom with a friend of her boyfriend's. He was a real jerk. He wrecked the car he rented for prom the day he picked it up so we had to catch a ride there with some other friends. We had to catch a ride back with someone else. He wanted to go home with these 2 guys that were there without dates. I knew both of them and I knew they were big drinkers so I wouldn't ride home with them. He actually considered leaving me to get a ride home with my best friend and going with them himself. He didn't, but maybe that would have been a more pleasant end to the evening!

If you were about to die what would your last meal be?: A ribeye with a baked potato, raspberry iced tea, and banana rum cake with blue bell ice cream for dessert.

Who is the most important person in you life?: There are lots, but if I have to narrow it down to one it would be my husband.

If your house was on fire what 3 things would you grab on your way out?: My son, my daughter, my husband. If my husband could get out on his own, then photos.
