  • About me…

    Because sometimes, you just want to fill in the blanks instead of coming up with your own material.  This is one of those days. I stole this from another blog. Hope she doesn’t mind (Not that she would ever visit my little xanga site anyway…who am I kidding?)

     

    So, here are the questions. Except that I had to add two of my own on the end because the list stopped at #48.  Who stops at #48?? Seriously.  I told you I am a little OCD. It SO had to be 50 questions.

     

    1. What time did you get up this morning? 6:12 AM

     

    2. How do you like your steak? Well.done (Jeremy says I totally get all of        the flavor cooked out of it.)

     

    3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? I think it was “Bridesmaids”

     

    4. What is your favorite TV show? Um…do I have to answer this?? OK. Right now it is “Bachelor Pad”  or “Sweet Home Alabama”

     

    5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? I’m thinking Texas. Somewhere warmer, that’s for sure.

    13. Where would you visit if you had the chance? New England States are on my radar right now.

     

    14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full? Um…so I think that this is a dumb question, cuz the glass is always completely full.  ½ way with water and ½ way with air.

    27. What is your favorite memory? Oh, goodness. How could I pick a favorite memory?  Let’s just go with a recent one.  Nope, not that one.  More editing. OK…um, seeing how excited Nikki was with her birthday present on Sunday. (A pillow pet)

  • This was a fun post…I may have to copy this too. ;)
    Ok, now I KNOW why all of you are super sucked into pineterst! I just need to figure it all out.
    I can see myself falling in love with this website! Thanks. =)

    Happy Wednesday to you.

  •  I guess you are a little OCD!   Not only do you have 50 questions even, you know the exact minute you awakened. How do you do that? Do you set your alarm for 6:12 or do you always know the minute you wake up? All I know is that I got up sometime between 6 and 6:30. It might’ve been 6:12, who can say?! other random comments: you’re making me hungry for guacamole, #27 makes me laugh,  BBQ chicken pizza is one of my favorite, and red is my favorite color.

  • awesome! love this kind of thing…maybe you should allow for some of us to link up like this? i’ll give credit your way if i answer these questions. :O)
    and, #27 and 40? o my goodness. totally laughed aloud on those!!!

  • great list. love how you snuck pinterest in there  So, there is someone out there who watches bachelor pad? trying to decide if i even want to go there. most stuff I watch online. since the bachlorette was just a little lame this season (in my humble opinion), not sure i want to get sucked into bacholor pad, got my hands full enough with project runway and design star right now

    btw, your last post? Hysterical. i love your sense of humor. I’d like to think our senses of humor are similar,but that last comic strip thingy, i just did not get not so much that I didn’t think it was funny as that  I did.not.get.it. And i’m not even usually blonde, at least, I don’t think so.

  • @foreveranoatneygirl_n2Hisown - Just copy and paste it to your site, Rachel.  Or Liz, for that matter. I already stole it from someone else, so I don’t care if you “steal” it from me!  

    @richlyblest - I have my alarm set for 6 AM…but I overslept a little, and I remember waking up and looking at the clock and it was 6:12.  That’s how I know what time it was.  Or it could have been 6:11 or 6:14, but I think it was 6:12.

  • @fruitloops115 - OK, maybe this will help it make more sense to you.  The band “Journey” sings a song where they repeat over and over “Don’t stop believing…”. Very popular song back in the seventies, maybe.  Now do you think its funny?

  • @appalolly - i actually googled that phrase because i just couldn’t get it, no matter how many times i read it. now it makes sense! i think my husband sings parts of that song, but i sure wouldn’t have known who Journey was!”

  • ooooooooooohhhhhhh THAT song.  Hilarious! I laughed out loud

  • I loved this, I love any chance to get to know you better because you fascinate me. You always make me laugh. So, to comment on your list… I love Moose Tracks too, when I have icecream which would be like never! I’d also be embarrassed to list my current favorite TV shows…. Bachelor Pad, can’t help myself!!! I don’t know what’s wrong with you for liking well done steak… I like mine partially bloody. I love watching people. When I would list anywhere in the world that I’d want to live if I could, I’d pick some place OTHER than  Texas… don’t like that state at all!!! First of all because it stole my husband for five months and put him through hell when he enlisted and went through training… And then I have friends there and the temps down there are ridiculously hot – sounds painful! I just don’t get the hype over Texas, but I guess I haven’t given it much of a chance. 

  • @fruitloops115 - i SO did not get that joke either. i read it repeatedly because i was like “audrey is NOT going to find something THAT funny and i can’t even get the joke.” and then i puzzled and puzzled over the comment about the song being stuck in her head….slowly, slowly, and with GREAT relief, late last evening i put all the pieces together. but i worked so long and hard to figure it out, all the humor was gone for me. never did laugh. i came back this morning to reread it and make SURE i had got the punchline right. 

    interesting post. but i want to know which blog you got this from? or rather WHY did you read that blog?
    it kind of surprises me you rarely wear your seat belt. 

  • Yeah, I’m trying to reconcile your OCD tendencies with not wearing your seat belt…?! Good thing that you HAVEn’t ever been in a car accident…your angels must be working overtime. And now you are on your way out west, without a seatbelt on…eek!! (That’s the mother in me coming out, sorry!). I am curious as to why you don’t wear one…maybe you are just too much in a hurry? And I also am curious as to whether you require your children to wear seat belts? It just gives me the willies when I hear of people getting ejected during a car accident (and killed) who otherwise might have been fine if they had been strapped in. I’ll stop now before I really do sound like the “click it or ticket” police! Be safe!

  • ii’m going to read the rest of the list…but there is a show called Sweet Home Alabama?!?!?! oh my goodness. seriously. i must find this!

  • Love this. So many little details that we don’t know about others thru blogging. :) I missed the last entry so after reading these comments, I’m gonna have to go find it and see if it’s funny. :) I need a laugh right now. 

  • fun post!  Not sure you really want to live in Texas where this year we’ve broken records and we’re on our 45th day of 100+ heat.  Yeah it’s definitely warm down here ;)   On the flip side we have fairly nice winters :)

  • i love this too! all that’s the same. all that’s different. i enjoy the details, either way!
    and maybe? i’ll be copying too. that would be my style. not usually so inspired as just a flat out copy-cat!!!

  • this post only confirms that i like you! a lot. :) great list and love your candor…

  • Wear your seat belt woman, they save lives!
    -Sorry, I couldn’t help myself. HA~

    Love the survey.

  • This is so fascinating! There were several things I was reallly surprised about:
    11. mini van. i just think of you in a small suv for some reason.
    20. no face cream? c’mon now, you gotta save that pretty face!! :)
    30-31 you never wear a seatbelt and you’ve never been in an accident!

    So interesting all these things that one would never find out just through blogging. :)

  • It goes without saying I must declare that the whole lot you utter agrees with my mentality
