Me, Myself, and the rest of them

I'm trying to broaden my horizons and participate in blog link ups that I think are fun and might possibly bring me to new blogs. 


This latest one I found on Randalin's blog. I liked the idea of polling all of my family members (I can speak for Cole, of course) and answering some interesting questions. I also liked the idea of sharing a little bit more about myself. My about page is brief and just gives a quick overview of me and this here blog. Because I'm a teacher, I try not to share too much personal information. But I'm trying to loosen up a bit!


Here they are..


What's your biggest phobia? 
Dada - I guess I'm scared of not having fun and being happy,  if that qualifies as a phobia.

Mama - I'm scared of ticks. The moment my sandaled or barefoot feet hits the grass I check my legs. Five minutes later, I check them again. And repeat. It doesn't help that the county I live in has the highest instance of lyme disease in the nation and that I've gotten lyme disease twice in two years.

Cole - sleep. I'm scared of what exciting thing will happen when I'm sleeping. So I don't like to fall asleep.

If you could choose to relive any day of your life what would it be? 

Dada - Any day outside in nature with my family. preferably with snow involved. and maybe snowboards.

Mama- I would choose our wedding day. It was definitely the most amazing thing - to have all of our beloved family and friends in one place. The only thing that could've made it better was if Cole was there. Now I can see why some people wait until AFTER they have children to get married. Who better than to help you celebrate your union.

Cole - The day I went up the ski lift with my Dada.

If you could choose to stay a certain age forever what would it be? 

Dada - 25, because I was in shape back then.

Mama - 35. I've been saying to myself lately that I love this age and don't want to get any older. But that probably has more to do with my realization that I am mortal and sickeningly close to 40 - HOLY CRAP!

Cole - 2. Let's have an adventure!

What celebrity do you get mistaken for ? 

Dada -none

Mama - Once someone said I looked like Mariah Carey from the side angle. But this was back when she let her beautiful curls flow naturally.

Cole - The Gerber baby

What songs are included on the soundtrack to your life?

Dada  -anything by the red hot chilli peppers. 

Mama - Girls just wanna have fun by Cyndi Lauper

Vision of Love by Mariah Carey (don't laugh - she was really awesome when she first hit it big)

You are my sunshine by Elizabeth Mitchell
