Listicle time with Stasha and she’s asked 10 random questions. Since Stasha is a photographer and plays a photo scavenger hunt every Sunday, I thought it’d be fun to do this with pictures (also, more interesting).
1. Grab the nearest book to you, turn to page 23 and find line 4. What is it?
This is a book my husband was reading, “Marching With the Devil”
2. How many times a day do you say Hi?
I say ‘Hi’ a lot – that’s how I greet my boys!
3. Have you ever worn a uniform?
My class picture when I was 15. No, I’m not telling you where I am in here. Yes, we wear school uniforms in Malaysia. And yes, those are PINAFORES.
4. What do you think about the most?
The boys! I think about their future, how I parent them, how cute they are……
5. How many keys are on your keyring?
Just four!
6. What was the last thing you bought?
- It’s not enough that half of my house looks like an IKEA showroom. Now they’ve sucked me in with their chocolate!
7. Are you growing anything these days?
My hair. Though this may be due to the fact that I don’t have time to go to a hairdresser.
8. What is under your bed?
I don’t know and I’m not sure I want to know.
9. What is most important in life?
Love. Not teddy bears. Love.
10. What is the strangest word you used this week?
Before social media, I’m pretty sure ‘unfriend’ didn’t exist.
Random question: What was the last thing you ate?
</ a>
I WANT your monkey key chain! fun list and pictures add to it.
Robbie ‘s last awesome post..Friday Fragments
It’s awesome, I got it from Coach!
Haha, love #10. This is a great list, and I LOVE that you did it in pictures!
Greta ‘s last awesome post..Project 365: Week 26
So do you unfriend people too?
And thank you!
Yay for the monkey key chain! I love how you did your list with pictures as well. Your boys are so beautiful and getting big! “Love. Not teddy bears. Love.” – Haha, I love it!
Anna ‘s last awesome post..Monday Glimpses
I LOVE my monkey key chain! And thank you, thank you, thank you.
Great idea to add the pictures. Your boys are the cutest. Truly. I just ate some crackers with cream cheese and Nutella! Have a great week.
Susi ‘s last awesome post..Random questions, random answers
Ooh, cream cheese AND Nutella?? You naughty girl
I am currently eating a bowl of Edy’s vanilla bean ice cream. Why? Because the kids are in bed and its just what I do when I am awesome.
Love this picture scavenger hunt! Fun!
Alma ‘s last awesome post..Birth to New
I eat ice cream when the kids go to bed too!!
I’m right there with you with the hair growing thing. Yes I want to grow it out but really I just don’t have time to get it cut.
Love your monkey key ring!

Fun list. I gotta try that chocolate!

You should! I have to warn you though – it’s addictive!
I cannot spot you in your school uniform. So difficult to find.
Christine ‘s last awesome post..Making Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Hah! That’s the point
Hehe.. I know what you mean! I would not want people to easily spot me in my old school photos either. I like this post by the way!
Christine ‘s last awesome post..Making Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
Was the monkey key chain on purpose because of the toddler?
Love #9! And 10? So true. Thanks, social media.
Kimberly ‘s last awesome post..What Is Motherhood?
Funnily, I bought that key chain in 2008 at Coach in the US, way before Monkey was conceived!!
Yeah, thanks social media! For that and much more. Heh.
I LOVE that you did this week’s list in pictures. What a fantastic idea. I seriously want to know where you are in the picture though – I had a look and think I might have found you but am not sure. And I totally agree with unfriend. I don’t like that word.
Brandee ‘s last awesome post..Some randomosity – Monday Listicles
Pictures always make a post more interesting, yes? And I’m not telling where I am in the picture!
I have to admit that I’m curious what the 4 keys are for. I’m guessing that home and car are two.
What are the others? (you have twice as many as I do, as you’ll see on my Listicle. That sounded weird.)
Jay- The Dude of the House ‘s last awesome post..Random 10 for July 1
Let’s see…. 1 key is for the letter box (we live in an apartment), 1 is for the back door, 1 is for the front grill gate and the last one is for the front door. The funny thing is? I only use the key for the letter box. We actually have a number key lock on the back door. The keys are all from before we installed the key lock!
What a great idea to do it in pictures!!
BonnyBard ‘s last awesome post..Monday Listicles – The totally random edition
Thank you BonnyBard!
I heart this so so so so so very much!
I am obsessed with Ikea too. And their chocolate. And jam. Kiddo told me yesterday we must go back because he ran out of letter cookies…
What a great list xo
Stasha ‘s last awesome post..Monday listicles
Thanks Stasha! We are total IKEA-heads in these parts.
I thought for sure that I could spot you in that Class but, no luck. I thought maybe you’d have on a BlogHer tshirt or something!

I know, right? I totally ate a whole bar in one sitting.
I admit to growing my hair out because I don’t have time to go and get it cut. And my husband likes it this long, too.
It’s great that your husband likes your longer hair! My husband likes me with short hair, but unless he agrees to look after 2 kids for 2 hours alone, he’ll just have to contend with longer hair now
Love this list and the pretty pictures too. The keys look like a sculptural work of art. Of course, your babies are pretty darn cute too. Erin
Sisterhood of the Sensible Moms ‘s last awesome post..Ask Me Another One
Aw, thanks Erin. I like the way the keys picture turned out too, considering I snapped it holding it out with one hand!
I love your answers! I remember the first time I used “unfriend” in a sentence, out loud and it sounded crazy. Now I think I see it everywhere.
Barbara ‘s last awesome post..When is sharing okay?
Right?? It’s such an unfriendly, weird word.
Oh I love the pictures of your boys, adorable!
I agree, love is the most important.
Heather’s Happenings ‘s last awesome post..16 Years Ago
Thank you Heather!
A well done listicles! So much effort into these random facts. I am very impressed.
Wayne ‘s last awesome post..Monday Listicles
Thanks Wayne.
Anne Lamott, in Operating Instructions, says that NO new mother should get a hair cut b/c we’re not operating with all our brain…so let those locks of yours keep growing, at least for a bit! And I am loving those pinafores…
deborah l quinn ‘s last awesome post..Listicles: Ten Questions
I shall! Though not really by choice
I love your take on this.
And your beautiful face.
I had to wear uniforms too. ONly I rolled up the kilt because I’m a whore like that…no I’m kidding. We all rolled them up. I mean, no one likes a big bold blue kilt that rests below the knee. How do you get guys like that.
Wait…
Like I said…I’m not a whore.
Kimberly ‘s last awesome post..Just Drive
Whore.
Not!
Love your face.
Now I want to see a picture of you in said kilt.

I just finished up some Peanut M&Ms. It’s not my fault though. The vending company emailed to tell us about a buy one get one free special, so I was forced to get them.
I like your picture plan. An even cooler take on a fun list! I grew my hair out after each of my kids due to pure laziness, but yours looks good!
Katie E ‘s last awesome post..Monday Listicles: Random Questions
Well, if you get a free one, of course you have to get them!
And thank you! It’s a sign of a good hair cut when it still looks fairly decent growing out (I love my hairdresser).
The “unfriend” as a verb made me laugh. I remember when I used facebook as a verb a few years ago. My editor did not like that. And the IKEA candy bar cracked me up too.

I do unfriend people that are annoying.
Also, the last thing I ate was chocolate. Yum!

Very cool list. Love the key chain. I need to reduce my keys on my ring, I have my keys, an the keys to my mom’s keys on it. Always tell myself, that it comes in handy sometimes.
KalleyC ‘s last awesome post..I Swore I Would Never Do This
We actually don’t even use the keys I have on my key ring aside for one for the mail box!
What a fun list
And to answer your random question — the last thing I ate was fresh mozzarella soaked in balsamic vinegar. Are you sorry you asked?
angela ‘s last awesome post..When Costco and Pinterest Collide

I ate an ice cream sundae with fruit and M&Ms. That was about 12 hours ago so I guess I should have breakfast.

Hmm. The last thing I ate? I think a piece of bread. So boring. I know. I love your Monkey keychain. So cute.
Jessica ‘s last awesome post..I could have been Amish
We eat bread a lot around these parts so totally not boring!
Clever idea to do this list in pictures! Love your monkey key chain. And I’m totally with you on the bed thing. Especially with beds close to the ground it’s just better not to know.
My excuse is, it’s so low, nothing can get under it, ahem.
I like how you did this.
And yes, under my bed.
I dare not tell you.
*shivers*
I think I will love your hair long.
Of course, now I’d like to know what’s under your bed, Alexandra.
I may keep the hair long. Alas, the husband likes my hair short. We shall see.
Ha ha I believe having young children means your hair gets longer for some reason? And holy cow it is too hot in Malaysia to be wearing those uniforms! (Right?)
Natalie ‘s last awesome post..Let’s Share, Shall We?
Longer = no time to get to a hairdresser, so yes! The uniforms are very light cotton so it’s not that bad. I’m more concerned about the style
Now IKEA does chocolate? They had me at meatballs! Love that monkey key chain too!
Oh yes, the chocolate is DELISH!!
I love that you included pictures. I love learning random things about people. It’s fun. I’m with you on love.

Christine @ Love, Life, Surf ‘s last awesome post..Scenes from my weekend – Birthday
Right?? It cracks me up, the picture.
It’s interesting to me that spell check on social media still underlines unfriend. Like just now, when I typed it here! (I know it’s my browser, but it still makes me smile.)
Your boys are adorable, but you know that already, don’t you?
Yes, spellcheck is so not aligned with the times
And thank you!
love the hair – and you look pretty well rested my dear!

Fun list.

So how many keys are on your keychain? Do you need 2 hands to carry them all?

Great hair! Adorable kids! Great post!
Thank you very much, Heather!
Don’t hate the pinafore, I think it’s pretty adorable. And yes, it would be easy to stare at those sweet little faces that you and your hubs created…and I’m not sure even a dustbunny could fit under your bed. That’s a tight squeeze!
The pinafore only looks cute on 5 year olds!
Such a diverse list of items!!! I love that your house looks like an IKEA show room . . . please share so I can live vicariously through you!
Erin ‘s last awesome post..Catching Up
Actually, only the toddler’s room is entirely Ikea. The rest of the stuff is randomly scattered throughout the house.
I love the way you did this, you!
Also, I’m a big fan of Ikea, uniforms, love, and chocolate.
{Duh about the chocolate, I know.}

Galit Breen ‘s last awesome post..Magnum Opus

Last thing I ate : a piece of chocolate. Dark, rich, Belgian Cote d’Or chocolate…. Think I’ll have another piece just be sure I wasn’t mistaken about how good it tasted.

vanita ‘s last awesome post..Trapped
Yikes, you must have been BUSY!! My hair grows pretty quickly, let’s hope it doesn’t get to 8 inches longer before I make it to the hair dresser!
Love this list, especially because you did it in pictures!
Unfriended is a totally weird word and even more bizarre that we can find out in this technological who has decided we are no longer worth their computer energy!
