Here are today's Questions:

1. Did you prank, get pranked or ignore April Fool's Day?
Technically neither, but I tried to be all sly yesterday (the 31st) and pull one over on them thinking it was the 1st! lol I sat everyone down (which never happens) and with a serious look told them I was pregnant! It was hilarious because my husband's jaw hit the floor, T-man slapped his head like "No more babies!" and the other kids were all "No way mom you have your tubes tied!" LOL It was pretty funny! ;)

2. What is the most unusual thing you have in your pantry or refrigerator right now?

I don't really have anything unusual, so it would be a toss up between Pralinutta (strawberry nutella), Artichokes hearts in a can and frozen mashed pumpkin! lol

3. If you were in the "Miss America" (or another) talent competition, what would your talent be? Wow idk it's been forever since I sang, but I used to be really good at it! lol

4. What is one thing you miss about being a kid?
I miss not having to cook dinner, not having to worry about finances things of that nature.

5. If you HAD to change your name, what would you change it to?
Well I would change it to Phoenix of course, but honestly I like my name!

2. When you have out of town visitors, what fun places do you take them to in your town? (Or where do you play tourist in your own town?)
We love visiting several "touristy" spots in our town at least every few months. We don't have visitors often, but when we do we take them there as well.

Zilker Botanical Gardens is usually our first choice (although now that they charge admission not sure..), Mayfield Park is gorgeous and full of Peacocks so we definitely go there and Mt Bonnell is great for an awesome view of Lake Austin and downtown! :)

3. What was the first album, CD, Download you ever bought?
First album was Cyndi Lauper. I loved her music sooo much! First CD was Mazzy Star.. I think. lol As far as download gosh I am not sure so let's go with Pink's Funhouse! :)

4. Do you speak more than one language and which ones? If not, what language would you like to know?
Nope I just speak English and a tiny bit of Spanish. I would love to speak Spanish fluently and Italian!

5. What is your dream job?

My dream job would be owning an organizational business that went into peoples homes or offices and decluttered it for them. Either their filing, closets, kitchen etc anything that needs help. I love to organize and declutter things for others, not so much myself... lol
