Friday Five: Five Things I’m Not
This Friday Five, we learn the Five Things the Blond Duck isn’t….
1) I’m not the kind of girl to be blasé and cool. I dance in Walgreens, bounce everywhere and snort when I laugh.
2) I’m not the kind of girl to sit in a spa and drink wine or lounge by the pool. I’d rather go swim with dolphins, go to the zoo or do something exciting. Like zip lining. With monkeys.
3) I’m not the kind of girl to sit still. If there’s a floor, I’ll be dancing. It’s the only reason I like weddings. If there’s no dancing, I don’t want to go.
4) I’m not the kind of girl to coo over babies (in fact, I’ll just pray you don’t ask me to hold it.) But if you’ve got a puppy–I’m your new best friend.
5) I’m not a winter girl or a fall girl. I love spring and summer. From October to February I get depressed and mopey until the mountain laurels and cactus bloom. And then I’m in heaven.
Stay tuned, Invisible Friends! We have a new Saturday story tomorrow!

I totally relate here….I snort when I laugh too and my kids just shake their heads. Babies…..love mine dearly but don’t want to hold anyone elses…..but give me your puppy and I will melt!!! Glad I’m not the only one that feels that way! Have a great weekend!

Just noticed the mountain laurels yesterday — woo hoo!

I wish I could be more like you! You are such a carefree, happy go lucky girl- good for you!!

I’ve never understood the point of going on a vacation just to lie on your back near a pool or even the beach. I can lie in my bed for free at home! And I can totally relate to the baby thing. I’m okay with older kids, but as a childless woman, please don’t assume I’m longing to hold an infant…there is a reason I have a dog, not a kid.
February 24th, 2012 at 6:19 am
And these are just some of the reasons why we love you!
Fun pics, darling

Yeah Spring and Summer! Although there’s usually good food at weddings.

Because you’re not all of these things, you are more awesome. I admire you lots, Duckie! Also, I have Unearthly and can’t wait to start reading it. Thank you for the recommendation and I hope you have a good weekend!
February 24th, 2012 at 6:54 am
I’m with you – Love spring & summer!
February 24th, 2012 at 6:58 am
I wasn’t a baby cooer either. Or holder. Until I had one.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend of all the things you are!
February 24th, 2012 at 8:36 am
We love you just like you are.

February 24th, 2012 at 9:24 am
Love that insight into you — and that PANK dress!!
February 24th, 2012 at 9:26 am
I don’t coo over babies either. I couldn’t get enough of my own, but I am much more enamored with them once they start crawling around and getting chubby.
February 24th, 2012 at 10:49 am
You are so much fun, Duckie! Happy Friday, my dear!
February 24th, 2012 at 11:24 am
OH, yes, there must be dancing at weddings!
February 24th, 2012 at 11:48 am
It’s good to know who you are!! Sounds like a lot of fun!
February 24th, 2012 at 12:43 pm
I am opposite of you… I absolutely love the Fall!
February 24th, 2012 at 2:17 pm
I totally agree with #4! Babies sort of freak me out. But I LOVE puppies!
February 24th, 2012 at 2:42 pm
It is good to know more about you. I loved the pictures. Have a great weekend. Blessings…Mary

I love spring and summer too – the cold makes me just – well, cold!
February 24th, 2012 at 4:27 pm
I too prefer dogs over babies! I love your adventurous spirit. But I do love Fall!
February 24th, 2012 at 7:01 pm
I don’t coo over babies either (except mine own). I also don’t offer to hold them unless it is a close friend’s baby.
I like the slide pic. Fun!
Happy Friday!!
February 24th, 2012 at 7:40 pm
Those simply make you… you!
February 24th, 2012 at 7:41 pm
I don’t coo over babies either, but I do like to hold them. Happy Friday.
February 24th, 2012 at 10:43 pm
Beautiful! I like all the seasons, but I find autumn much depressing (more than winter).
Happy weekend!
February 24th, 2012 at 11:07 pm
how fun!!
February 25th, 2012 at 1:00 am
Love these five things about you Duckie. I find the winter makes me a bit blue as well. YOu can’t beat a good dose of sunshine for a great pick me up! Love you! xxoo
February 25th, 2012 at 1:06 am
Hehe now I have to look up zip lining!
February 25th, 2012 at 4:22 am
You are TOTALLY invited to my future wedding. Cause there’ll be oodles of dancing.
February 25th, 2012 at 4:30 am
We have the ODD numbers in common, but you can have your monkeys and I’ll take the spa and the babies
February 26th, 2012 at 12:32 am
it’s great to learn more about you!
i like all the seasons.
happy weekend, sweet duckie.

Thanks for the peek, Duckie. Your personality oozes with spirit!

A very honest post! Here’s to you!! xo style, she wrote

Never was a baby coo-er at all, and I preferred not to hold them. My own kids were a different story, but any other babies? No thanks. And dancing? In the grocery store? It’s a requirement some days. It often leads to snorting laughter as well.
February 27th, 2012 at 9:11 am
I want to try ziplining but it totally freaks me out. Even still, what a fun post this was
February 27th, 2012 at 5:09 pm
Somehow it doesn’t surprise me that you dance in Walgreens!
February 28th, 2012 at 9:18 am
Fall is overrated! I hate winter. I’m a summer girl all the way. I’d be okay with spring except that “spring” in the traditional sense doesn’t really exist in NY. It’s usually just a long, cold extension of winter that erupts into summer sometime around May. Sometimes we’ll get a week or two of stereotypical spring weather scattered throughout the months, and some years we really luck out and get consistent spring weather, but it’s kind of rare.
I consider myself someone who can sit by the pool with a drink and go ziplining and dolphin swimming with equal enthusian though.

You know, I never was a baby person. I just didn’t *get* babies. Well, then I had my own babies. And I *get* babies now. I still don’t really want to hold someone else’s newborn. But I really just adore my own children and can connect with other children, too. I always did love animals though, as well. So someday if and when you have children of your own you might be surprised how much you like them. But you’ll still never want to babysit anyone else’s!
