Thursday Thirteen #3 | An "About You" Entrecard Giveaway

I am SO excited - my mom (AKA Mama) is coming over tomorrow for a visit!!! So in celebration, I thought it'd be fun to learn more about... you!

And since I'm in a really good mood, let's throw in 100 Free Entrecard Credits to the first 5 10 bloggers who join in on this. ;)

***

Here's me kickin' it off:

1. I AM... sitting on the couch in my favorite outfit - last night's pajamas
   
   
2. I WANT... to learn how to scuba dive!
   
   
3. I HAVE... the best job EVER for a work-at-home-mom (or maybe it’s the best bosses?)
   
   
4. I WISH... I wasn’t such an introvert sometimes…
   
   
5. I HATE... letting people get under my skin. “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.” –Eleanor Roosevelt
   
   
6. I FEAR... horrid, gory, possessed images. Why I ever watched “The Exorcism of Emily Rose” I’ll never know.
   
   
7. I REGRET… (am I saying this out loud?) the pain I caused my family as a rebellious, confused teenager... another reason why I don't have girls!
   
   
8. I LOVE... laughter. The kind you can’t hold in, that just bursts out loud from within your heart.
   
   
9. I ALWAYS... look for the blessing in disguise. Even if not initially.
   
   
10. I AM NOT... your run of the mill mommy blogger.
    
    
11. I DANCE... the same way I did in high school. Old school hip hop style.
    
    
12. I CRY... when I’m utterly frustrated and pushed over the edge. And never in public.



13. I SING... karaoke with the fam – including Skinny Ass. C’ mon now, I’m a Pinay, remember ;)
    

So who's down wit' me?

Note: Entrecard credits to be distributed after the first 10 responses. To claim your EC, please send me an e-mail (danceofmotherhood at gmail.com) with the e-mail address you'd like me to send your 100 EC to. Thanks for playing!

Thursday Thirteen ~ 100 Free Entrecards Debut

In celebrating my very first edition of Thursday Thirteen, I thought I'd get down to the main concept behind this meme: Getting to Know You!

So let's chat - grab a cup of coffee (or a cocktail!) and pull up a chair. And just to spice things up a bit, how 'bout 100 Free Entrecard Credits to the first 5 commentators who answer the same questions below. Yep, that's right - I must be in a good mood. ;)

Here we go - thoughtful answers, please - BS won't bring the EC. Don't you just love me? ;)

1) Married? Kids/Ages?
Ball and chain, with 3 boys ages 13, 6 and 3

2) Other Kids (i.e. Pets)?
Samson (lab) and Cleopatra (cat)

3) Favorite places to vacation?
Back to where we got hitched - Hawaiian Islands

4) Favorite places for long weekend trips?
SoCal with the kids - the Strip without.

5) Hobbies/Interests?
Camping and water sports with the fam, books & movies for the b*tch, and learning about keeping digital memories and this new world called the blogosphere.

6) Favorite type of music?
I'm an eclectic mix of OLD SCHOOL hip-hop, pop, country and Christian. K-Love, baby!

7) Favorite TV shows?
Lost, Grey's Anatomy, American Idol, Don't forget the Lyrics... and even Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

8) Favorite things to shop for?
That one's easy - any type of organizer, electronics and the shoes and handbags that ALWAYS fit. Screw the dressing room - I HATE trying on clothes!

9) Last movie you saw in the theater?
The Great Debaters. Thoughtful and impressive.

10) Last book you read?
The Kite Runner.

11) Have you ever seen a broadway musical?
Phantom of the Opera - in San Diego and Vegas - can't wait to see it again!

12) What place would you like to visit?
The Philippines! And Europe. But I think we'll wait til the kids are older...

13) What are three adjectives which describe you?
Tenacious, Sweet and SOUR. ;)

Your turn!

Warning of caution, though - I'm a total newbie, hoping there aren't any character limits in comments. Hmmnnn...
