#5QF: I'm on vacation edition…

Happy Friday! And an extra special happy Friday because I don’t have to work today!

WHAT?!?!

Yes, that’s right.

I’m on vacation.

And SO excited about it because I get to go to…

In San Francisco…

So right about the time that you are reading this during the day, I am likely travelling on a plane somewhere over the US… and if night has fallen, well I might have fallen into a bed somewhere {hopefully in my hotel} from sheer exhaustion. That wouldn’t surprise me really. :)

Anyway… it’s time for another 5 Question Friday with Mama M. – Been a couple weeks since I’ve joined in, so I hope she has me back. :)

1. Do you have any nicknames and if so how did it come about?
My dad has given me the nickname “Suzie Q”. He really likes that song (not sure who it’s by) but he calls me that from time to time… it used to bug me much more than it does now.

A couple of my friends call me “Sunshine”… not sure if it’s because I’m so “shiny” with them – or perhaps that I have a lack of enthusiasm in the morning when they see me. Me + morning = do not get along.

2. What is your birth order amongst your siblings?
I am the oldest with two younger brothers.

And yes, I have so many of the “oldest” child traits that is found in birth order books, it’s scary.

3. In a movie of your life, who would play your significant other?
Well, seeing that I don’t have a significant other at this time… when that dude comes along, whomever resembles him most from this post earlier this week will play him. :)

4. What is currently your favorite song?
I don’t know if I want to admit this.

I have two.

“Take it Off” by Ke$ha & “Love the way you lie” by Eminem (feat Rihanna)

(Hiding from the stones being thrown)

At least it’s not Justin Bieber.

I don’t understand what the world sees in that annoying kid singer that recently published his life story.

He’s 16. He hasn’t lived yet.

That is all. I’ll step off my soapbox now.

5. Are you saving your money for anything right now? Big or small purchase?
I am saving for a trip for Europe that will (hopefully) happen a couple of summers from now. I need to pay off some debt first, but then the savings will start – and the trip *will* happen. Don’t know for sure who my travel companion will be yet… but I *will* be going.

So what do you think… answer any of these different than me?

It’s a hot guy #PINT with @Supahmommy! YAY!

Guest posting…

I know… I’ve been a little un-inspired with my writing lately. Don’t remind me! I’m on my way back into my regular posts… trust me. Tomorrow is going to be one of my favorite posts ever. I just know it. (While it may not be thought provoking in any way – it’s going to be fun!)

But in the meantime — today I’m writing over at Hope for Women — go check it out! :)

#BlogBoycottDay: Trying this out…

Ok. It’s not that I don’t like reading your blogs… but after chatting with Liz from A Belle A Bean and a Chicago Dog, I’m joining her this month for the 1st ever Blog Boycott Day.

What does this mean? Well… in short, I won’t be doing any blog hopping today. Don’t get me wrong, I love visiting blogs, leaving comments, and showing my friends blog love… but I love twitter more. :) Instant conversations… crazy antics… and things like this are born from it too. So much fun!

Anyway here are the details from Liz…

Starting today, and continuing with the 2nd Friday of every month, those who take part in #BlogBoycottDay will spend the day in the Twitosphere instead of hopping around in the blogosphere.

Think of it as a day dedicated to social media.

So, if you are looking for me today, log in to Twitter and tweet me (@dutchbeingme)!

And if you want to join the fun, add your twitter handle to the linky on here, and grab the #BlogBoycottDay badge to add to your post (the badge code is in Liz’s sidebar)!

Then come back for #BlogBoycottDay 2 on Friday, September 10th.

Happy Tweeting! :)
