omg am I first?

(quickly edits to add my actual answer)

So yesterday we asked about the cup holders in your vehicles so it make sense that I ask

Do you usually take a drink with you when you head out in your vehicle ?
I always have water in the car, depending on where I am going I probably have a tea or coffee with me as well. My friends laugh at me because their kids know I have everything in my car and thus when we are out and they want something, the just come straight to me because they know I carry it all around with me, lol.
Bonus Question:

What was the last thing you needed to be "reminded of" ?
Every day I am asking someone to remind me of something.
How did you remind yourself ?
If I need to remember something, I either write myself a note, or make a "note" on my cell phone. Though I have heard of people using a rubber band on the wrist or something like that, I have never tried it....

Extra Credit Question:


When was the last time you wanted to say "It's about time !!" ?
It's about time my brother in law took a vacation. I mean seriously, it had been about 6 years!

Today's Question(s):
Do you usually take a drink with you when you head out in your vehicle ? Not usually. But, sometimes I do. Or, I may take my mug and stop by Starbucks. But, I usually do not drink in my car unless I am traveling long distance.

Bonus Question:

What was the last thing you needed to be "reminded of" ? I need to get a plane ticket for an upcoming trip, make hotel reservations, etc. I have been reminded of that every day this week. So, it's on my to-do list today.

How did you remind yourself ? I put it on my calendar in Microsoft Outlook


Extra Credit Question:

When was the last time you wanted to say "It's about time !!" ? I think I was standing in line at a coffee shop.


Have a great weekend everyone!

I very rarely take a drink with me in the car. I imbibe my quart or so of high-octane coffee with breakfast and while answering QOTD, then head to work after it's gone. The only time the cup-holders in my car get used to hold beverages is when we're on a long trip and we've brought along water or soda to sip while traveling.

Bonus Question:

What was the last thing you needed to be "reminded of" ?


I needed to remind myself to put the date of a doctor's appointment on the calendar at home.

How did you remind yourself ?

Since I made the appointment while I was at work, I emailed my personal email (which I only check at home) from my work email with the info. And when I got home and checked email, I put the appointment on the calendar.

Extra Credit Question:

I've been saying that all week - my spouse and I are on vacation next week, after a really, really long and difficult year, and I am SO READY for it to start!

Happy Friday to you too!
It's a quiet day in Liverpool as well. Raining, per usual. I need to walk into town and do some shopping though. I can't get my mind off of these adorable pajama shorts and I heard my favorite store got new purses in.. uh oh.

Kind of a quiet morning here in NE FL. I think we had some sprinkles last night the patio was wet when I let the dogs out.
They are calling for more rain today but because of the "seabreeze" it is suppose to stay to the west. sigh lol

Always, 100% of the time. Otherwise, I have to stop and spend unnecessary money (I am, afterall, a poor college student!) because I drink more than a camel.

What it was that I needed to do today.
