Rain Drops on Roses and Whiskers on Kittens, These Are A Few of My Favorite Things.....Memed Again...


Alex at Hope and Greyz posted this meme on her blog and tagged anyone interested to respond and pass the meme along. I love this sort of thing; it sort of lets me get to know myself better while I’m learning about my fellow bloggers. So here goes:

1) LAST MOVIE YOU SAW IN A THEATRE? Sadly, I can’t remember. We watch tons of movies on DVD though. We’ve been on an old (or old to Wheeler) war movie jag lately and watched Platoon last Friday. We try to watch a movie as a family once a week when we can and try to appeal to teen boy tastes. He complains about having to hang out with us, but usually ends up enjoying the flick if I’ve picked well. Platoon had just enough explosive stuff to keep him interested.

2) WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING? At the moment Marley and Me is accompanying me to wrestling matches to fill in the copious waiting time between matches. I’m also reading Harvesting the Heart, and a travel guide for Washington, DC.


3) FAVORITE BOARD GAME? Monopoly or Risk


4) FAVORITE MAGAZINE? Hmmm, I guess ”Whole Dog Journal.” Does that count?


5) FAVORITE SMELLS? Freshly cut grass, the air after a spring rain, popcorn, campfires, puppy breath


6) FAVORITE SOUNDS? Waves crashing on the beach, gulls calling, rain falling on a tin roof


7) WORST FEELING IN THE WORLD? That punch in the gut feeling you get when you see you child hurt

8 ) WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU THINK WHEN YOU FIRST WAKE UP? Is it morning already? Can I hit snooze at least once and still get Wheeler to school on time?


9) FAVORITE FAST FOOD PLACE? Willy’s


10) FUTURE CHILD’S NAME? Too late for more now!!


11) FINISH THIS STATEMENT—IF I HAD A LOT OF MONEY I’D....give more to charity.

12) DO YOU DRIVE FAST? Probably

13) DO YOU SLEEP WITH A STUFFED ANIMAL? No, but one of my dogs sleeps on the foot of the bed. Does that count?

14) STORMS–COOL OR SCARY? Cool- I love watching thunderstorms over the ocean.


15) WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST CAR? A ‘66 Chevrolet Impala in a stunning aqua color


16) FAVORITE DRINK? Dirty Martini, Woodford Reserve (bourbon) straight up, hot chocolate


17) FINISH THIS STATEMENT - IF I HAD THE TIME I WOULD...be way more organized


18 ) DO YOU EAT THE STEMS ON BROCCOLI? Yes


19) IF YOU COULD DYE YOUR HAIR ANY OTHER COLOR, WHAT WOULD BE YOUR CHOICE? Ummm, I do color my hair and I guess I do dye it the color I want.

20) NAME ALL THE DIFFERENT CITIES/TOWNS U HAVE LIVED IN? My list is very boring and quite short. Atlanta, GA and Nashville, TN(only if college counts)


21) FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? Gymnastics, diving, and baseball if I’m at the game

22) ONE NICE THING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU? Greyhound lover, great mom, and sculptor extraordinaire!!

23) WHATS UNDER YOUR BED? Dog and cat hair – and the pump for my air bed (which I love)

24) WOULD U LIKE TO BE BORN AS YOURSELF AGAIN? Sure, why not. Who else could I be?

25) MORNING PERSON OR NIGHT OWL? Night owl – definitely!!

26) OVER EASY OR SUNNY SIDE UP? Neither – omelet please


27) FAVORITE PLACE TO RELAX? My big leather chair with ottoman in my family room


28 ) FAVORITE PIE? Are there any I don’t like?


29) FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR? Mint chocolate chip

Love the new look!

I love the new look, too, and I also love a good meme. Your first car sounds cool, and makes my Toyota Corolla sound pretty boring!

Maria Peters said...

Love the new look, too! I'm gonna' do the meme!

Zan said...

Thanks for the compliments :-)!

Addie, a 66 Chevy wasn't as cool as it sounds now at the time. I got it in 1978 - then it was just an old car. I wish I still had it now though.

I like the new look. It's just...the bottom right pic is a little scarry without seeing the entire pic.

Heather said...

I also love the new look and a dirty martini! :)

BrittBeah- You're absolutely right about that pic. It sort of looks like something out of a scene from "The Godfather." The new banner is still a work in progress. Stay tuned :-)!
