Six Word Saturday

Show my Face blog hosts Six Word Saturday each week.

Here's what you do: Describe your life (or something) in just six words.

I wish my grandma good health.

What do you want to say???

Saturday 9 - #1

Saturday 9 blog posts 9 questions each week, sometimes with a theme and sometimes without.

Saturday 9: It's My Party

1. Do you prefer to host or be a guest at a party? I don't really have a preference. I think I like a combination of both. I definitely don't always want to be the host but I don't want to be the guest who never reciprocates either.

2. Would you rather go to a large party or a small dinner party? I prefer smaller parties. I think I get lost in the crowd at big parties.

3. What is you worst flaw? The worst thing I do that I can't seem to not do is gossiping. But I also tend to say most of what's on my mind, not just gossip.

4. What is you best character trait? I really don't like. Sometimes I twist words or avoid answering questions but I always tell some form of the truth (and if I ever lie and say something like "Oh I can't come, I will be out of town", I find somewhere to go out of town)

5. What habit in others annoys you? I can't stand when people shake. It makes me nauseous!

6. What qualities in others do you admire? I admire people who can speak in front of crowds, it freaks me out!

7. If you could change something about yourself, what would it be? I would love to be taller. I know that's superficial, but I am under 5 feet tall and some things really are more difficult for me!

8. Do you tend to be shy with strangers? I am really shy when I first meet people but then I don't have a problem opening up once I get to know them.

9. Do you prefer to lead or follow in a group of people? I tend to follow if I don't know the people well and lead if I do. That probably plays into the whole shy thing.

Now it's your turn to answer and let us get to know you better :)

Aloha Friday #5

Welcome to this week’s edition of Aloha Friday. Thanks to Kailani at An Island Life for starting this fun for Friday. I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog . Please be sure to head over to her blog to say hello and sign the Mr. Linky there if you are participating.

My question is:

What is your favorite dessert?

I love cream cheese brownies and also Ben & Jerry's Chocolate Therapy ice cream.

Update on the boss situation

My boss said she wanted to meet with me this week, but we barely saw each other and she leaves tomorrow on vacation. Then when she gets back I leave for 2 weeks. Then she leaves for a month. Looks like we're not meeting. Hopefully when we are both back at the same time things will improve :)

Tempt My Tummy Tuesdays - #1

Lisa at Blessed With Grace and her sister Lana at Right Here...Right Now host Tempt My Tummy Tuesdays. It is basically a time to share anything food related. I chose to do a local restaurant review for my first attempt.

My dad and I went to Petrini's Restaurant in Santa Barbara last Friday night for his birthday. I normally don't like that restaurant but it's one of my dad's favorites so I just agreed to go.

Well let me say, I was pleasantly surprised. I tried something new and I guess it paid off. I ordered Spinach and Cheese Tortellini in an Alfredo sauce. It was delicious! And of course the garlic bread was good, it's always good.

So, I now would go to Petrini's any time someone wanted to go. I newly like it and I'm glad!!!!
