Five Question Friday, take three

What?  Again?  Something semi-regular posted on this site?  Will the third time be the last?  Stay tuned.  This week's questions, answered below:

1. What were your school colors?

We were blue and silver.  Interestingly enough, this week my sister texted me a picture of our high school, which was recently painted maroon.  We can't figure out why.  I'm guessing a prank by one of our rival schools?  She said it looked professionally done and doubts it.  I loved our colors.  I've always been partial to blue and silver anyway.  We also had a pretty bad-ass logo, where our initials were shaped to look like our mascot.

2. What's the best compliment you ever received?

Um, I don't know?  Today I was told that I was intuitive by my friend Jen, and also that I had pretty teeth by my dentist.  Those are two recent ones.  Isn't it funny how it's harder to remember compliments than insults?  I still remember a somewhat snobby girl telling me I had a booger in my nose in 4th grade.

3. Do you buy cheap or expensive toilet paper?

I prefer a more expensive toilet paper.  Charmin Ultra Strong to be exact.  If Ben goes shopping with me we come home with something cheaper.

4. Have you ever had a surprise party thrown for you? Or have you had one for someone else?

No on both counts.

5. What is one material possession that you "can't live without"?

Hmmm, my iPhone probably.  I dropped it and shattered the screen and just about had a heart attack.  Got a new one at the Apple store, thank goodness, and life is happy again.  But, in pre-iPhone times, I would have said my computer and more specifically, my internet connection.  

I know I could live without them, but I like life a lot more with them.

Jen and I have been doing some more work on Team Awesome.  We started two new features, TeamPhotos and TeamPrintables.  We've been working on a new banner and a few other design changes that will be coming soon.  

I've been sewing so much!  This week I've been working on a cross stitch piece as a gift for someone. I have four new shirt patterns I need to get supplies for, plus the fabric for another shirt for me and two kids dresses.  

I'm still reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, which I'm really enjoying.  It's over 700 pages long, though, so despite staying up way past my bedtime, I'm not half finished yet.  Although, really, I haven't been devoting that much time to it since I've been working on this cross stitch.  I feel like I need to make myself do one thing at a time, it's starting to catch up with me.  I'm tired today!  I'll be heading to bed shortly after the girls tonight.
