AMT - Summer fun!

It's time for another episode of Answer Me This with Kendra from Catholic All Year!

1. How did you celebrate the 4th of July?

We went to my husband's family's cookout and I took the weight of gravity off my ever-growing midsection in the pool. Oh it was so nice. And I tried to dunk my husband. (I failed, mostly because he's a lot bigger than I am and it's hard to dunk someone when you can't touch the bottom.)

2. Do you sunburn easily?

Nope. My face will burn once, and my shoulders might, but I don't really burn. Unless I happen to be an idiot and just don't put sunscreen on (cloudy!) and then stand in the water for over three hours. Then I get blisters. (That may have happened in high school. Shirts hurt for a week, which made life interesting. I mostly sat in front of a fan in my bedroom with aloe slathered an inch thick and sans shirt.) I mostly just get darker though. Yay for Mexican and Italian heritage!

3. Hot dogs. Yay or nay?

Eh. If you grill and/or char them. Or cook them over the bonfire. Any other way, they really just aren't appetizing. And if hot dogs are sitting next to bratwursts or hamburgers, the brat or hamburger is what will end up in my belly.

4. Have you ever personally set off fireworks?

No. I like my hands intact, and it's illegal in Massachusetts anyway. (Illinois just to sell them, but who wants to drive three hours just to buy fireworks? I'll just watch other people's, thanks.)

5. Have you ever jumped off the high dive?

I HATE heights. So no. Regular diving boards kind of freak me out now too. I spent 7 years diving off a stationary block that didn't bounce and was only three feet up, and on the edge of the pool. Now you want a thing that's slippery and bounces? And you wonder why I belly flop or shallow dive? It's because the thing under my feet is MOVING. 

6. Do you do anything weird in your sleep?

I apparently sometimes have conversations with my husband. Not just talking, I'll respond to him with appropriate answers and everything with my eyes shut and wake up completely clueless. I also can't turn over without waking up right now, but that's just because pregnant.
