Five Question Friday - Fall, Pot Luck Dish, & Grammar


Rules for 5QF: Copy and paste the following questions to your blog post, answer them, then watch for the linky post to appear Friday and LINK UP at Five Crooked Halos! Oh, and remember (pay close attention...this is the important one)...HAVE FUN!

What is one grammar issue you cannot let go without correcting?  I am the first to admit, I am a horrible speller, and my grammar isn't stellar either! I just ask for your understanding!

What’s your favorite thing about fall? I love Fall, but hate my allergies that come with it! I love the brisk air, pulling out jeans and pants, making chili and corn bread, pumpkins, and the colorful leaves as we drive around town. The best part? Football, as I love MIZZOU college football, tailgating, and cheering for the Baltimore Ravens! There is a passion for Fall sports, and I look forward to it each year!

What’s your favorite dish to take to a potluck?  I love to bake, so I always ask if I can bring a dessert, my favorites include Gooey Butter Cake or cookies. If I have to bring a side or main dish, then I pass the torch to my husband!

When do you start your holiday (Christmas) shopping?  Every year I tell myself to start earlier than November, but it never fails I fall into the stressful pattern of shopping until a few days before Christmas. I have two gifts tucked away, but they are very small items I was able to find on clearance! I am always looking for a bargain, and might venture out the day after Thanksgiving...but I haven't done that in a few years!

Did you move homes a lot growing up?  Yes, we moved a lot when I was a child, I attended four different grade schools. We finally settled down when I entered the fifth grade, and my parents did not move again till after I was out of the house and married.

Congratulations to Kellie W .,  as she was selected as the winner of the giveaway for the  New Trent iCarrier Heavy Duty Dual Port Charger! It is that time again! Conference season, is here and I know many Bloggers are heading to conferences to network, connect with brands, and to see those that they correspond with on Social Media! I was amazed and overwhelmed at the amount of "stuff," one can drag with them to a conference. As I packed my bag for a local two day conference,  I could not help but count the number of gadgets and cords that I would be hauling with me.  It wasn't until lunch time, that I gave any thought to the fact that there weren't any outlets available to charge all of my devices that I used throughout the day to connect to Social Media! As I looked around there were hundreds of bloggers and business people, all with the same concern. How on earth would I save my dying Smart Phone? I looked at the wall behind me and there was a line of d
