Lots of Lori

Happy June! (As in the month; not the person.) (Unless a person named June is reading this. Then I would say Happy June June!) (?)

First up: we have a winner from May. But her name's not May. But she will be glad anyway. Today is really her day. We also have a prize to give to the winner for May. What do you say? Hooray! Hooray! (I've been studying my Dr. Seuss.)

Week #1 was the winning week, and since that week was all about quotes, I though everyone would like another quote-type thingy to add to their collections.


I found this, which isn't just a typography box, but also a candle holder. Bonus! It's like two gifts in one! So I decided two people should win this and share the gift between themselves! But then I realized that might not work if one of the winners lives in Mexico and the other lives in Alaska. So ... just one winner. And that winner is Comment #8. Marie! Yippee! You deserve a pick-me-up this week! I'll get it to you.

Next up: do you want to know what you can win for the month of June? (Huh, huh, do you?) We don't know yet which week will be the winning week, so you'll want to make sure you comment both times. But we do know that this is the prize:



An extra set of hands, just for you! Isn't this exactly what you have always wanted? 

I'm just joking--it's actually Jamberry nail wraps! What are Jamberry nail wraps? They are the latest, coolest accessory. With hundreds of different designs, your nails are sure to be a work of art! They last on your fingernails for up to two weeks and on toenails for up to four weeks. And here's the best part of all ... our own Nicole Jessop is an Independent Consultant for Jamberry.

Nicole is sponsoring the prize for June. Thanks Nicole! You are the best! If you want to contact her to order your own Jamberry wraps, look for her contact info on her FB page or leave her a message in the comments.

Now for this week! Last time, I tried to remember facts about you guys and tried to match the comment with the commenter. (I wasn't smokin' hot. At least not brain-wise. Ha ha. Ha.) This week, I'm going to give you a peek into my mind. It might be scary. Brace yourself.

So this will be multiple choice and you have to guess which one Lori would most likely do, or want, or need, or buy. Like this ...

1.  I need a new car. (Mine is held together with duct tape and only starts every other day. Or even less than that.) So if I were to buy a new car this summer, which car would I most likely buy? (Being realistic; no room for dreams here.)

a. A new mom car (aka, a Suburban.)
b. The Montana State Car (Subaru wagon)
c. A hippie bus (VW van)
d. A yuppie mobile (an Audi All-road wagon.)

2. I've been swamped lately. I would love to find an extra hour to spending doing what I want, not what I need to do. If I had that hour, I would:

a. Take a nap
b. Read a book
c. Go for a hike
d. Watch TV

3. If I were ever in the vicinity of a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, I would inquire about having some work done. I would ask about getting:

a. Laser wrinkle removal
b. Botox
c. Boobs
d. Varicose vein removal

4. If I had some extra dough to expand my summer wardrobe, I would buy:

a. Lots of sparkly sandals
b. Lots of colorful jewelry
c. Workout clothes
d. Swimsuit cover-ups

5. If I could travel anywhere in the world right now, I would go to:

a. Germany
b. England
c. California
d. No where at all

6. My favorite outfits generally consist of:

a. Jeans and casual tops
b. Workout pants and fleece jackets
c. Workout pants and t-shirts
d. Pajamas

7. If I ever got arrested, it would be for:

a. Disorderly conduct
b. Shoplifting
c. Trespassing
d. Child abandonment

8. For dessert tonight, I would like to have:

a. Chocolate cake and a glass of cold milk
b. A bowl of almonds
c. Ice Cream
d. Chocolate chip cookies.

This quiz might prove that you think you know me but you really don't ... not at all! It's like I'm another person entirely. (It's my Personality #3 day.) Or do you know me like the back of your hand? (Does that mean you frequently backhand me? Or a picture of me? Goodness, I don't like where this is headed.)

Leave me your answers. I won't tell you if you are right or wrong for a few days ... I'll let everyone weigh in before I give away any spoilers. OK, go! (Remember, you want the nail wraps. Comment, comment, comment!)

1. c- a hippie bus… but realistically… a Subaru wagon because soon you're going to have one less strapping teenage boy to drive around on trips for a few years.
2. A- take a nap. Oh wait, is this not what I would choose? Oh you would choose… take a nap. Or read a book.
3. This one is not safe to answer. I'm choosing not to do so.
4. e- Jamberry Nail wraps
5. b- England. Or nowhere are all because you want a break from being so busy. But why would you pass up a chance to visit England?
6. d.- pajamas. Although I technically have workout pants as pajamas sometimes so… yeah.
7. a- disorderly conduct, because the voices of your characters have taken over.
8. - b. a bowl of almonds

Nicole: 3- you are too cautious and kind for your own good. The only way I could get offended by an answer would be if you add e. liposuction. And 4. Duh! Why didn't I put that?

1. Although the most practical would be a. and you did post some cool pins of c. Im going to say that you are going for the hot cool mom and pick D.
2.I want to say A and B but it is so beautiful outside that Im going to say C.
3.The correct answer would be E. non of the above. :) A and B are not needed, C is well a gift for hubbies, I think that I remember you saying something about D. Although I don't think D is needed either. D. Final answer.
4.Tricky tricky. You always have cute A and B. Im going to say D so that you can spend all your days at the lakes.
5. A.
6. I have on occasion seen you in B. but Im going to go with D. Gotta love PJS!
7. C. Trespassing, so many amazing old barns and houses around to take pictures of.
8. Now Im hungry. Ri makes great D, but Im going to say B. a bowl of almonds. You have much more control than I do.

I have to assume you're trying to stump us, because turnabout is fair play. So here goes my best shot and not falling for your stump-worthy questions:

1. B Subaru Wagon (I assume that seats 7?)
2. You need a nap, but what you want to do is C, go for a hike.
3. A
4. D
5. C
6. B (only because I love fleece jackets)
7. D if this is you in your fantasy world ('cause our kids are sometimes begging to be dropped off a cliff, right? -tongue in cheek, of course), C in real life?
8. D (my favorite)

When I was in doubt, I just went with my own preferences, I guess! I wonder how much alike we are?

Lori Folkman said...

Nicole S. - 3. Aw, thanks. You are way too nice! 8. I have NO self-control! If you saw my almond bill, you would agree. :)

Jenna: you love fleece jackets and chocolate cake? No wonder we are friends! And #7: Last day of school today ... I'm betting I'll be at the state mental hospital by Monday! ;)

Jennifer Lovell said...

It's actually chocolate chip cookies that I love, not chocolate cake (unless it has fudge frosting on it, but in that case I usually eat the frosting off and leave the cake). But maybe that's a good thing--more cookies for me, more cake for you?

1. b subaru- cause that's downsizing when you're use to a suburban but still 4WD to get you down your road in the winter.
2.a. nap- mostly because you were avoid the house clean last week and you already when for a hike. But then again maybe you were ready for another one.
3.d varicose veins- none of the others apply and I haven't stared at your legs lately???
4.c
5.a Germany- better castles than England?
6.c
7.c
8. b

Lori Folkman said...

Jenna, oops, I got blonde again for a moment. :)

Bigskyboys:2: yes, I'm ready for another c. You patient enough to take me again? And 3: I was staring at yours, why weren't you staring at mine? :)

Lori Folkman said...

And the answers are:
1. D. I want a rugged little Audi wagon. I should have said "used" so you wouldn't have thought my eyes weren't bigger than my pocketbook.
2. A. A nap always wins, sadly.
3. D. I'm so vein!
4. D. I have a strange attraction to swim suit cover ups. I don't feel like I ever have enough! Maybe it's not so strange since swimsuits seem to be designed for teenage bodies.
5. D. Nowhere! Montana is perfect in the summertime. It's hard to leave! But ask me again come November.
6. B. Even in the summer, I want a fleece jacket on, at least in the mornings.
7. C. Trespassing, for trying to take pictures of barns.
8. A. Cake. Although I still haven't got to have it! And once I do, it will make me sick and I'll wish I would have stuck with B., almonds.

Nice job friends, you know me all too well!
