Me

Ok, so I love to read my sister-in-law, Natalie's blog. She's really good about keeping it up and she's really fun to read. She gets these little question/fill in the blank kind of things all the time, so I thought I'd actually do one. This is the first time I've ever done one of these things and I'd love to see something like this on others blogs too. Hint, Hint, Elyse. So here goes.

1. What time did you get up this morning? 7:00 am. My kids are in school now, so sacrifices have to be made for the quiet day that I enjoy!
2. Diamonds or pearls? Diamonds, fer sure.
3. Last movie you saw in a movie theater? I never get to movies anymore, but we did actually get to see one for our anniversary last week. We saw I Am Legend. Romantic, huh?
4. Favorite TV show? I have to choose!? Um, The Office. No, no, Chuck. Wait, Lost. No, American Idol. AAAAHHHH! I can't pick!
5. What do you usually eat for breakfast? Strawberry Yogurt Burst Cheerios.
6. What is your middle name? Ruth. I have no idea what my parents were thinking with THAT one. It's not even like it's a family name or anything. Just pulled it out of a hat. Yuck! Sorry, mom, not the greatest name. At least it's my middle.
7. What food do you dislike? Again, I have to pick just one? I'm a picky eater. I don't like seafood of any kind. Or anything too spicy. Or most raw veggies. They have to be cooked!

11. What characteristic do you despise? Wow. Lots. I hate it when parents ignore their children's behavior. Especially in church. Yes, there is a story behind that one!
12. Favorite item of clothing? Jeans from Old Navy. The boot cut, just below the waist. And they don't make them anymore. And mine just fell apart. I'm morning.
13. If you could go anywhere on vacation, where would it be? Europe. Austria, of course, Germany, England, Ireland, Scotland.

23. Pets? One dog, Jasmin. She's a cocker spaniel and I insisted that we get the dog right after we moved into this house. Now I want to get rid of her, but no one else will let me. Scott says it would be like giving away one of our children. Jeez.
