From Five Crooked Halos
1. What were you scared of as a kid?
As a kid, I was scared of leaving a place and never returning. Not exactly sure why. The most common place I feared never going back to was my cousin's house in S Orange. It was so beautiful. I loved being there at the Mansion. The property was beautiful. I have so many memories there and sometimes, even today, I go and park near it just to look at it and remember.
2. Do you sleep well in a hotel?
Pretty well. It depends on where it is. One of the best places I have slept was The Wolverton Inn in Lambertville, NJ and Embassy Suites in Parsippany, NJ. The beds there were awesome.
3. If you could meet any celebrity, dead or alive, who and why?
I would want to meet Judy Garland or Marilyn Monroe (the dead people) and Jennifer Lopez or Johnny Depp (alive)
Why? First of all, they are all in the entertainment business, something I wish I could be a part of. Most of them are singers, like me and I would love to pick their brain and just get to know them.
4. It's a hot summer day. Do you prefer to be pool side or at the beach?
Pool side. Hate the sand.
5. What is your favorite summer dish?
Cucumber Salad. Just love the taste.
Things have been a buzz around here, so busy, I have hardly had 2 minutes to sit down and write my little blog. I am taking the time this morning because I have a tiny little window of opportunity, this quiet (not for long) Sunday morning.
I have begun a new part of my life through a new business venture and that had taken up a lot of my time. I am still happily buying gold whenever I can and managing the gold buying division, but am thinking of different ways of branding myself and my businesses. This new business is creating such a buzz and excitement, it is contagious. Hosts that were disappointed that people were not coming are now so excited to offer their guests the opportunity to shrink their bodies and fatten up their wallets at the same time. I call it the Melt Party.
Melt your body and your gold and silver. Result? Come out richer AND skinnier! Gotta love it. Works like a charm. This up coming month should provide fruitful and I am excited!!
As far as Family goes, things are buzzing wildly because Tabor Idol is upon us (a fundraising concert we put on in our town) and we are all gearing up to participate. Well, most of us are. The older girls are rehearsing, non stop and hubby and I are trying to decide what we should sing together. We still can't decide.
I am going to sing Songbird by Fleetwood Mac and Hey You by Pink Floyd. I just love those songs and it should turn out good. I just have to get a band to back me up for the awesome rock interlude. (May have to turn to a music background) Either way, it fills the rock star yen in all of us here at the Bozza abode.
Then there is Memorial Day! We went to our first parade yesterday in the town over from us, where hubby grew up and it was fun! I got to sit with an old friend and visit with some family briefly, although I missed my little smushy God-Son and that was a bummer....
Although the parade got off to a late start, I was pleased that the kids behaved very well and I got to use my new beach chair, which I am in love with. I may buy a couple more for the boys...or have them pay for it themselves. :)
Loudly yours,
Alicia
1. Are you a napper?
Yes, but usually when I am sick or pregnant or my body just tells me to. Not a regular occurrence.
2. What was your favorite subject in school? Most hated?
Social Studies. Hated Math.
3. Did you have the something old new borrowed and blue at your wedding? What were they?
Borrowed was my cousin in law's veil, can't recall if there was anything blue.
4. What one thing are you determined to do this summer.
Build my new business up, spend time with the kids at the pool.
5. Ice cream or Popsicles?
Ice
cream is great, but the amount can get out of control. Popsicles are
nice because there is more of a chance of portion control.
1. What did you wear to prom? Include a picture if possible.
Here
is a picture of my Junior Prom with my friend, John Slater. I was
never asked to Prom by anyone in my school. (rolling eyes) So, I had to
import a prom date Junior and Senior year. John and I went to Grammar
School together and he was always so sweet. (I think we made a great
prom couple, don't you?) My Mom dropped me off at his house and he
drove to the prom in his White Altima, which I loved since it looked
like a Mercedes. It was fun arriving in his car. I did not get to ride
in a limo for prom, but had the chance on my Wedding Day. :) He was so
sweet to match me to a tee and buy a beautiful corsage. It was a
"coming out" kind of feeling for me, that Prom Night. I felt like a
Princess and had the feeling I was grown up on that day. It was a very
special night to be alone with a guy and all my friends, dancing the
night away. My husband and kids don't understand why I keep this
picture, but it is special to me because it was SUCH an exciting start
to being a woman from a little girl. We had a great night. He was such a
gentleman and a great date. No kiss though....that was a bummer.
2. Would you rather be on the biggest loser or a food eating challenge?
Probably
biggest loser. Food challenge? No....I have a weak stomach these days
and would much rather lose the weight, although I do not have that much
weight to lose to be on the show, unless I wanted to look anorexic. No
thanks.
3. Done fave sonic drink? Refreshing summer drink? (Hey, Kristina...was that a typo, or some "done good" Southern thing?)
My favorite Summer Drink is a Sangria Slushie. It is kind of a fruit smoothie except with Yago Wine and lots of ice. Love it.
Frozen blueberries, strawberries, etc too.
It is a hit at my summer parties, which I love to host.
4. What was your first car, and what did you call it?
Ah,
my first car. It was a beautiful Monte Carlo. Beautiful brown with a
Notre Dame Sticker in the back window. (Coincidentally, my Son has a car
with the same dang sticker, in the same place...weird) I called her
Monte.....and I loved to drive her everywhere. Monte even saved my life
when I got into an accident. Totaled that poor baby, but I will always
remember her for saving my life. Good ole Monte.
5. What's one thing your child or spouse does that sends you over the edge?
One
thing? That is so hard to pinpoint. I do have a child that sends me
over the edge, who will be nameless, but that "CHILD" loves to aggravate
the other children in the house by teasing, making fun, hoarding games,
computer time, snack food, you name it. This "CHILD" is older and I
believe should know better, but they DON'T. :) THAT sends me over the
edge. Husband is almost perfect, but I don't like sitting near him when
it is quiet and he is chewing. (Love you, honey....he hardly reads my
blog, but just in case....)
Loudly yours,
Alicia
