Random Meme

I saw this meme while I was browsing at Heart of the Prarie a little while ago. (Oh, and by the way, I have no idea what meme actually means! Could someone please enlighten me?) Anyway, Michelle is tagging anyone who is reading, so I accepted the tag and decided to play along.

1. What time did you get up this morning? I plead the 5th - hey, it's Saturday!!

2. Diamonds or pearls? Probably pearls, but it depends.

3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? I think it was Cars - can't remember if I've been to one since that.

4. What is your favorite TV show? I can't choose just one, but I regularly watch Grey's Anatomy, Lost, What About Brian, American Idol....ok, can you see I watch too much tv?

5. What did you have for breakfast? um, coffee

6. What is your middle name? Michelle

7. What is your favorite cuisine? Favorite? Oh, I love too many...Italian, Mexican, Chinese, Japanese...

8. What foods do you dislike? Mushrooms

11. What kind of car do you drive? A Ford Expedition (my dream car!)

12. Favorite sandwich? Hmmmm. I like a lot of them, but I LOVE the chicken pesto panini from Atlanta Bread Company.

14. What are your favorite clothes? Well, right now I find myself in jeans and a t-shirt most of the time, so I guess I'm partial to them.

15. If you could go anywhere on vacation where would you go? Any beach works for me. I would love to go to Hawaii, or on a cruise!

Where is sixteen? Long past and forgotten!

17. Where would you want to retire? No real thought on this one yet. Chip has mentioned Texas...I'm really not sure why! Of course, I don't suppose I'll actually ever retire - I assume I'll be doing my job as a homemaker until I die! So when Chip retires, I'll continue my job wherever we are.

18. Favorite time of day? late at night - it's nice and quiet (unless the neighbors are fighting or partying) and I can get lots done uninterrupted.

19. Where were you born? Cumming, GA

20. What is your favorite sport to watch? Ice Skating

21. Coke or Pepsi? Don't really have a preference (I can hear Chip *gasping* - he LOVES his Diet Coke w/ lime) as I am drinking mostly water now days.

22. Beavers or ducks? Ummm...are these sports teams? Then I don't have a clue. If it's animals, then ducks!

23. Are you a morning person or a night owl? Night owl, and try as I might to change it, it's not working!

24. Pedicure or manicure? I love a good pedicure, but don't really get them because I have friends who've ended up with fungus issues - I don't want to deal with that!

25. What did you want to be when you were little? I remember wanting to be a teacher. When I got a little older I wanted to be a flight attendant and a freelance photographer. But most of all I wanted to be a mommy. And now I am, plus I'm a teacher too (homeschool) and I take lots of pictures! ;o)

26. What is your best childhood memory? That's a tough one - there are several - but I LOVED going to the beach with my Grandparent's in the summer - and our family Disney trip.

27. Ever been to Africa? no

28. Ever been toilet papering? no

29. Been in a car accident? a few but just little fender benders - nothing major

30. Favorite day of the week? Right now, probably Wednesday. I have made it my "off" day. Of course, I still have regular daily stuff to do, but that's the day I can stay in my jammies if I want, and I don't schedule anything major on that day (like housework!!) It really helps me get through the week without feeling burned out.

36. From whom did you get your last e-mail? My Dad

37. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? Well, if we didn't have to actually pay it off, then it would probably be Target or Wal-Mart - I could get clothes, toys, household stuff and even food!

39. What are you listening to right now? Jack's Big Music Show on tv. (Ruthi is watching it)

43. What time did you finish this e-mail blog entry? I'll have to come back to this one, as I'm not finished yet! (Why wasn't this the last question?) OK - finished at 12:26 pm.

44. Favorite magazine: Any scrapbooking/cardmaking magazine

45. Coffee or tea? I usually have coffee everyday, and I love cold coffee drinks too, so I'd have to say coffee. But I do like tea.

46. Do you tan easily or burn easily? I tan easily, but I usually get a minor burn at least once at the beginning of the summer.

47. Do you color your hair? If so, how often? Yes - about every 8-10 weeks

48. What was the first car you ever purchased without the help of your parents? I didn't! I had one before I was married, and never purchased one on my own. I've never even picked one out by myself - Chip has done that since we've been married - and has always done a terrific job, the latest being the vehicle I REALLY wanted!

49. What is your most dreaded household chore? Probably cleaning the toilets. But laundry and grocery shopping are right up there too.

50. Who do you tag to complete this meme?I've never actually tagged anyone, so I'll tag a couple I think might actually read this and might play along: Karen and Jan. And anyone else who wants to play! If you do, let me know so I can come read yours!
