Forty Questions

Nothing else too exciting going on around here, so I'm posting one of these fun survey things. I'd love to hear your responses if you're up to playing along.

1. Do you like blue cheese salad dressing? No. I'm afraid to try it.

2. Have you ever smoked heroin? No. I need every single brain cell that I've got.

3. Do you own a gun? Only the water type.

4. What's your favorite drink at star bucks? I've never been. Do they serve smoothies? If so, I bet that would be my favorite.

5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Not my own.

I get a little nervous before Whit sees her boyfriend.

Always hoping for good news and fearing the worst.

6. What do you think of hot dogs? Can't stomach them. My kids are probably the only kids who never eat them because I refuse to buy them.

7. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? OJ....mmmmm

8. Can you do push ups? Yes! Billy Blanks kicks my butt and makes me do 32 in a row.

I usually can make it through the first 24....the last 8 are a joke.

9. What's your favorite piece of jewelry? Ooooh. That's a tough one. I have two

chunky stone necklaces I got from Charmed Designs that I love
(Ignore my face in that pic, notice the necklace!)

and some big ol' red earrings I bought at the beach.

10. Favorite hobby?

Does Singstar count?

11. Do you have A.D.D.? No.

12. What's one trait that you love about yourself? I like to laugh.

14. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment: Will Caroline sleep more than 3 hours? How can I arrange the furniture in the girls' bedroom? That rocky road ice cream was sure good.

15. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink? Water, milk, orange juice. (Boring!)

16. Current worry right now? Is Brandon going to be rich so that he can support us when we get old? Because our 401K is not looking so hot right now.

17. Current inspiration right now? LDS General Conference from earlier this month

18. 3 Favorite Places to eat? Saigon Restaurant, Printworks Bistro, P.F. Chang's (I don't know if those are really true. They're just the first ones that came to mind.)

19. How did you bring in the New Year? Moping over the fact that we couldn't participate in Nicolle and Greg's Amazing Race because Andrew's back was hurting. I'm still bitter.

20. Where would you like to go if you could go anywhere? New Zealand

21. Name three people who will complete this test? I have no response to that.

22. Do you own slippers? Yes. Two pairs. A bright orange pair I bought on clearance. Andrew says I could wear them hunting. And a nice green pair my friend gave me to wear to the hospital when I had Caroline. How sweet.

23. What color shirt are you wearing? Light blue.

24. Do you like sleeping on satin sheets? I don't think I've ever tried it.

25. Can you whistle? Yes. I think I do a mean rendition of Scorpion's "Wind of Change" whistle.

32. Best bed sheets as a child? I don't remember any fun ones. But I DO remember getting an electric blanket for Christmas and I loved that thing.

33. How many TVs do you have in your house? Only one that works. I've yet to throw away the 15 year old one that's up in our bedroom. It was a trusty companion but passed away this summer.

34. Who is your loudest friend? Marianne

35. How many pets do you have? Zero

36. Does someone have a crush on you? Yes. He's tall, dark, and very handsome. The feeling is mutual

and he's stuck with me for eternity.

37. What is your favorite book? That's a hard one. I'm going to say "The Hiding Place" by Corrie Ten Boom

38. Do you like your hair? It has taken me YEARS to be able to say this, but yes. Yes, I do. Andrew and I describe it as

wild

and unruly, but it's fun and easy to do and I enjoy it.

39. What kind of car do you want? It is completely impractical for us right now, but I've always wanted a Ford F-150.

40. Who is your oldest friend? I'm assuming this means the friend that I've had the longest? It's a three way tie between Marianne, Monika, and Misty. I guess I only liked girls with "M" names when I was 9.
