Aubrey Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 1) What's for breakfast at your house? dc: cut up strawberries & bananas, vanilla yogurt, homemade granola. me: bowl of cereal 2) What kind of car do you drive? Hyundai Elantra 3) What's your weather today? probably 70-ish, windows are open, air's off, but it's warm in here w/ long sleeves 4) Are your toenails painted? If so, what color? a coat of clear something has half grown off. :001_huh: 5) Read any good books lately? What was it? dh's copy of Mere Christianity is laying around, & I've been reading it here & there. It's very good, but I figure everyone but me already knew that. 6) Is your bed made? no, of course not. I have to let wet baby messes dry first. Duh! ;) 7) What's for dinner? Ya know, I made a menu, but I can't remember what's on it. I know what's in the fridge, & I know we have church tonight, & I know I didn't get anything into the crock this AM. So I"m thinking leftovers. 8) Name something your dc have done today that made you smile. ds7 is making sandwiches, sitting on one knee in a folding chair. He just fell out. All the way to the floor, spontaneously, legs flying over his head. 9) What color is your bathroom rug? green 10) Who's your favorite artist? I'm assuming you mean painting, not music. Actually, it's pretty obvious that's what you mean, I just tend to...overthink, lol. I'd say it's a toss-up. I LOVE da Vinci but I"m also quite fond of Mondrian. Ooooh & Van Gogh. 11) What's your favorite morning beverage? coffee. w/ lots of cream & sugar. I'm pretty sure it's the equivalent of true love. 12) Do you have any toys from when you were a child? sure--a doll my aunt brought back from France, a puppet of...what's his name?...Monster? from the muppets, a purse my gr-gr-aunt crocheted for me that flips out into a doll bed w/ the hot pink teeny tiny doll that she gave me w/ it, the doll cradle my gr-grandfather made for me & the blanket grmother made to go w/ it out of the free fabric patterns the fabric co's used to send out.... 13) Do you collect anything? well, I try not to, but I do love the Willow Tree stuff & snowmen. 14) Are you looking forward to the holidays? (whichever days you celebrate) of course!!! it's the best time of the yr for magic! 15) What are you wearing today? so far, I've got a white t-shirt on but am still wearing pj bottoms. I was part way into a pair of scrubs w/ blue pants & Noah's ark print top when baby decided maybe he *did* want to nurse after all. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put his hand palm down on the table with his middle finger bent under. Then proceeded to show me that he could move his thumb, first finger and pinky, but his ring finger wouldn't move.

(whichever days you celebrate) No. A recent death in the family has me feeling down. My father died many years ago between Thanksgiving and Christmas. It took many years and having a baby to get me to celebrate again. Now the recent death, which was completely surprising and sensless, has me not wanting to celebrate anything. I know it's baseless. Ds will probably drag me out of my funk. 15) What are you wearing today? jeans, t-shirt and flannel shirt as a "sweater", slippers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenny in Florida Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 1) What's for breakfast at your house? ---My son and I almost always have fruit smoothies, and he alternates between potato patties and oatmeal, with an occasional pancake or waffle day here and there. 2) What kind of car do you drive? ---Oooooh, this is my favorite question! We just picked up my new car two weeks ago, and I'm totally in love with it. I got a brand new MINI Clubman (like the basic Cooper, but slightly larger). It's "British racing green," with black top and bonnet stripes. It has room for us and all our stuff, and I'm averaging about 38 MPG. It just may be the coolest car ever. The only problems are that people keep stopping me on the street and at gas stations to ask questions about it and that my husband now wants one, too. 3) What's your weather today? ---Low- to mid-70s. Sunny. Nice. 4) Are your toenails painted? If so, what color? --Nope. 5) Read any good books lately? What was it? ---I just finished reading Gypsy: A Memoir, which I really enjoyed. My husband took our daughter to see Patti Lupone in the Broadway show a couple of weeks ago, and it occurred to me that I had never read Gypsy's book. So, I grabbed it from the library. 6) Is your bed made? ---Yes, as made at it gets. All I do is pull up and smooth out the comforter and plump the pillows. 7) What's for dinner? ---Still in contention. My son is convinced it's spaghetti night, but I'm unenthused. He'll probably win, because I have no better idea, and I need to put something in the crockpot before we leave for his ballet lesson. 8) Name something your dc have done today that made you smile. ---My son was just being so darned cute during his math lesson, taking it with good grace when he made mistakes and high-fiving when he got things right. My daughter called from college and told me a funny story about one of her dorm-mates. 9) What color is your bathroom rug? ---Don't have one. The cats won't leave it alone. 10) Who's your favorite artist? ---I don't really have one. It depends on my mood. 11) What's your favorite morning beverage? ---COFFEE! But I usually drink a nice, healthy fruit smoothie, instead. 12) Do you have any toys from when you were a child? ---No. 13) Do you collect anything? ---Other than books? Not seriously. We have a small collection of Nightmare Before Christmas memorabilia, but haven't added to it in a long time. 14) Are you looking forward to the holidays? (whichever days you celebrate) ---Sometimes. It's just gotten to be such a busy, packed time of year. My son is doing The Nutcracker for the fourth year, and has performances with his choir, too. And my daughter has already committed to two singing dates while she's home from school. Plus, now that we try to pack in everything during the time she's home, it's just gotten crazier. And the frantic consumption of the whole gifting thing really gets to me. So, I'm looking forward to having my daughter home and to attending their various gigs and honoring our family traditions, but I am also dreading just a bit the exhaustion. 15) What are you wearing today? ---Grey t-shirt and shorts, currently. Earlier, when it was still chillier, I had on a purple sweatshirt and socks, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
