5 Question Friday

My dear friend Em Dot sent me This Blog which posts "Five Question Fridays". 

Here goes with her questions. Maybe I'll come up with my own set next time...


1. What do you keep a stock pile of?
underwear - I could probably last a year without washing

2. If Ben & Jerry asked you to invent an ice cream, what would it be?

bananas foster - except, they already make it!!!!

3. How do you blow off steam?

run run run run run run and yoga

4. What would you do if you had an hour to yourself anywhere within a ten mile radius of your home...no kids, no hubby, just you?

I would walk up and down 5th avenue and window shop in every single store and then grab a frozen yogurt and go to the dog park at Madison Square Park to watch the puppies have fun and play 

5. When you were 16, what was your curfew in the summertime?

I didn't have a curfew - the rule was I had to tell my parents where I was going, even if that meant I was going to be at the water tower until the next morning camping. When you take away the risks of getting in trouble for things, it's not as much fun as it is when you are "breaking rules". It worked out well. Thanks Ma and Pa!
