Welcome to this week's edition of Friday 5! To participate, go to their
site and post the questions, with your answers, on your blog. Please leave me a comment if you do it so that I can check your answers out.
What’s the most annoying sound in the world?This is really weird, but I seriously hate the sound of someone whistling songs. The whistle to get your dog's attention, or kid's, or whatever; that's okay. When it turns into a song, please just kill me.
Which of other people’s mannerisms do you find very annoying?I just recently developed an absolute hatred for nail-biting. My husband does it, and I used to, but when I realized how annoying it was for me to hear him do it, I quit. I also get annoyed by lying for no reason, pretending to be someone you're not to fit in, and doing things just because no one else does them (sometimes that just makes you the jackass, k?). I'm annoyed a lot. :)
What do you do that really annoys others?I'm not sure. I know I tend to talk a lot, which annoys me so I'm sure it annoys others. I also brag about my cat, which is stupid and I feel like a cat dork but for some reason, I can't help myself.
In what way has your own behavior recently caused you annoyance?Bragging about my cat. For real. I love the little guy and like to talk about him. I am the cat lady or something. If any of you ever hear me doing it, just hit me. I've also been over-using the exclamation point, which drives me up the wall.
Who’s the most annoying person you know? Hmm. There aren't any people who I hang out with that annoy me, but the one person that stands out is this stupid girl we camped with at the sand dunes over Easter weekend. I could have thrown her in the fire, she was so annoying. Loud and obnoxious and convinced everyone at the dunes wanted her body. Yuck.
My very first blog giveaway win came from Valerie at Sweeps4Bloggers and was a gorgeous freshwater pearl bracelet. I don't typically like pearls, but I love this bracelet. The pearls aren't perfectly round and just the way it's put together... it's gorgeous.
My second win came from Making Memories and is this freaking awesome desktop carousel. I've had my eye on this thing for months and never in a million years imagined I would actually win! I was ECSTATIC.
My third win came from FeedYourPig and was a $25 gift code to MyBodiBar.com. This place rocks! You get to build your own lotions, shower gels, whatever you want! I built a tanning lotion and ordered, and got an e-mail from Scott, one of the owners, saying they were throwing in a bodi gel for free. WHAT?! I was so excited to get them in the mail. They are both scented with cherry pineapple, which smells absolutely amazing.
A little about Piggy Paint, from their site:
Because of the great girls over at Extraordinary Mothers, I was able to do a review for a Bubble Planner. This planner is great! Not only is it cute (zebra background with pink writing) but it allows me to think not just in time-slots or schedules like most planners. Coming from someone with ADHD, this is really helpful! It is more picture-oriented, and I like that. Plus, it’s more than just a planner. It has separate sections for goal-setting, project management, task management, calendars and lists. I really like using this planner.
I also had the great opportunity to review their grocery list pad. This thing rocks! At the top, it has a list of really common grocery items and you can just put a check next to the things you need. Then, it has two columns below that with 40 blank spaces for more items. I love that it has two columns because I am a bargain shopper. I spend about an hour before I go shopping reviewing the ads so that I can price-match it all at Walmart. With the two columns, I use one for the item I need and across from it, I put the lowest price and what ad it is in.
