Party Time…

Well, I’ve seen other bloggers join in on blog parties, but for some reason I’d feel like I would be “crashing” it if I linked up.

I saw a link and a Q&A on Lindsay’s blog to a really cute party linkup, so I decided I would invite my self on over.  In the process, it would be fun to “meet” some other bloggers and see what answers each one comes up with.  If you’re interested in joining the party, head over here!

1. How would people describe your personality? (If they could only use ONE word.) Are they right?

• I think that would depend on who you ask.  “Sensitive” comes to mind, which can be bad and good.  “Perfectionist”… ouch.

2. What celebrity/celebrities would create a “Star-Struck” feeling if you saw them in real life?

• Okay, no eye-rolling please.  Any member of ABBA.  Barbra Streisand, Linda Eder, Whitney Houston.

3. Who is your favorite blogger? Why?

• Well, I must say that Pioneer Woman is quite the blogger.  I like alot of different blogs for different reasons.  Is that vague enough?

4. What is your comfort food/drink?

• Anything Italian.  Or chocolate.  Drink… if we’re talking comfort, then a mocha frappucino from Starbucks.  With whipped cream.  The real kind, not no-fat.

5. Be brave – tell us something very random and weird about yourself.

• I love to smell receipts.

6. Do you have a strong desire to do something you’ve never done? What is it?

• I’m not a risk-taker at all… it takes me a while to step out into new things.  Maybe scuba diving?

7. Movies: Action, Drama, Romantic Comedy, Documentary, Comedy? What are your favorite genres?

• Romantic comedy or stupid comedy (i.e. the Jerk, Waterboy, Monty Python).  I usually don’t like to entertain myself with something too intense.

8. Books: Fiction, Non-Fiction, Romance, Biographies, True Stories, Self-Help, Devotional/Study? What are your favorite types of reading material?

• Hmmm.  All of the above.   I have many books that I haven’t read all the way through, though.

9. Music: Funk, Rock, Country, Jazz, Classical, Film Score, Blues, Classic Rock, Crooner, Alternative, Heavy Metal, Techno? What are your favorite types?

• I love music.  I’m always singing something, if not out loud than in my head.  I own anything from the Carpenters to Led Zeppelin to Sandy Patti to Maroon 5 to Rascall Flats.  I like most things except really twangy country and jazz that goes on and on.

10. If you inherited a million dollars, what is the first thing you would do with your money?

• Donate to the church, then pay off the house, get new cars for both me and the hubs.  Then electrolysis so I’d never have to shave again.  A lawn service so we’d never have to mow again or at least until the money runs out (hmm, those are kind of similar).  A cleaning service at least once a week (that would include laundry service).  Then a trip for us to cruise the Mediterranean Sea.

11. Name one weakness of yours (confession is good for the soul).

• One?  Being online too much, chocolate, bread, and over-worrying!
  

12. If you could live anywhere at all (and take all your loved ones with you), where would you go?

• This place…

St. John.  That’s my island… I went there once and stopped looking for the perfect place on earth.

13. Strange Talent? Can you juggle basketballs, put your legs behind your head or perform some other strange feat?

• Sing two pitches at once, like a train whistle.

14. What’s something you consider yourself to be good at? (Don’t worry, it’s not bragging, it’s acknowledging a God given gift).

• I can usually tell if something’s wrong with someone.  Also, mercy.  I hate seeing people being mistreated and want to do something about it.

15. What is one of your favorite things to catch a whiff of?

• Um, see #5.  But I guess that’s more intentional and not just catching a whiff of it.  Hmm… I catch a whiff of alot of things I don’t want to smell around here.  I love the smell of baking.  Period.

16. When you leave a social gathering, do you wish: You would have talked more or You would have talked less?

• Usually, talked more.  I’m not always the best at small talk.  But I’m married to a talker, so we’re well balanced!

17. If money wasn’t a factor, what stores would you shop in?

• I’m not really sure since I’ve usually been pretty frugal for as long as I can remember.  Boring answer, I know.  But I just can’t bring myself to spend too much on things that will be out of style soon or thrown-up on.

18. What is your greatest fear or strange phobia?

• Snakes.  Snakes, snakes, and 100 times snakes.  I have no compassion for these things whatsoever.  They are the things that cause me nightmares.  Ick.

19. What is your greatest accomplishment?

• Nathan, Ashlyn, and Joshua.

20. What are your favorite animals?

• Tigers.  Especially white tigers.  GORGEOUS.  Also, Gibbons.  They’re just so stinkin’ cool.  I just love watching them swing.

21. Are you a hopeless romantic?

• Always.
