ReplyDeleteare you okay? what's up w/ the sad situation?
HUGS.
Okay, I figured it out and it's done.

Thank you so much. I think I will play along because I just love answering questions. I may not get to it until Friday. I am always barefoot too and I had bowtie pasta today :) Loved reading your answers.
ReplyDelete"steel cut oats" - HUH!??!?! WHAT IS THAT!??!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, "some gray creeping in"??? SOME gray? SOME??? I'm 33 and there is SOME gray creeping in. I am VERY afraid that when my kiddies are grown I will say my hair has SOME brown.
you don't like kissing?! really? how does your hubs feel about that missie!?! :) hehe
ReplyDeleteI think your answers were pretty entertaining!!! thanks for playing along :)
Let's see if the comments box can handle all this text :)
ReplyDelete1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
Yes, I'm named after my great-great grandmother. Since I have this connection to her, my grandparents passed her writing desk on to me. I look forward to when we have a house we can put it in. John hasn't even seen it!
2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
A couple days ago, but I can't remember why. I think it was stress-induced.

Eh, it's all right.
4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? honey ham
5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
nope, but we hope to have at least one in the next few years!

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
no
12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
physically? no
emotionally/psychologically? I think I'm pretty self-sufficient (to a fault) due to my introverted nature. Until marriage, I didn't realize that I rarely talk about my feelings. I internalize almost everything.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
I'm going to have to answer outside the box of ice cream. While we were home, we went to Red Mango, and now all I can dream of is their plain fro yo with fresh pineapple, kiwi, strawberries and raspberries. Oh yum!
14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
I used to say their smile, but now I'm not sure that's true. I'm not sure what I notice first about people anymore...
15. RED OR PINK?
pink
16. WHAT IS THE WEATHER LIKE OUTSIDE? Rainy...just like it's been for the past 24 days. It was so cold this morning that I could see my breath. I think the high the past two days has been 50. The soil is getting mossy or growing algae. I'm not sure which. We need sun. Badly.
17. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE DRINK?
alcoholic - Shiner Bock beer, a mexican martini, a Bordeaux or Cote de Beaune or a white Russian
non-alcoholic - Perrier

Brown, but closer to a honey brown
29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?
I did for 10 years up until 3 weeks ago. Now I'm a glasses girl.

I used to say Tex-MEx, and although I'm sure that will be my answer again once we have been back stateside for awhile, I think my favorite food right now is German.
