But first, I must say that I am SO over all this Utah snow we've been getting!! It's all nice and pretty when you're safely sitting in doors and have no need to venture out in it! I'm already a fearful snow-driver, but this morning topped the cake. I slid backwards down a hill and got massively lodged into the cruel grip of a snow bank on the side of the road. It took three men, a shovel, two ropes (the first one frayed), and a big truck to pull me out. Can we PLEASE have some Spring yet?!
Getting
To Know Each Other
1. What is your favorite
color? It depends on my mood, but honestly, I don't think I have a single most favorite color ever. However, I do like red, yellow, teal, purple.
2. Share one or more of your
talents. I suppose I'm a pretty good organizer and task-checker-off'er.
3. If you were spending the day getting
to know someone new, where would you want to go? I'd go to Cafe Zupas. What a great way to start a conversation discussing the delicious food there (that I've only had once about 8 months ago but have still been craving more ever since!). I suppose any food place would work.
4. What is your favorite
meal? Stuffed cabbage rolls. This is a new favorite. Don't ask me for a recipe though because I've never made them myself! Another favorite meal is the Turkey Enchiladas from The Greenery in Ogden.
5.
Do you prefer to text or talk? Text is good, but it's nice to get a phone call once in a while too (says the girl whose phone hardly ever rings unless it's a doctor's office calling with an appointment reminder!). It seems that texting is so much more convenient, especially when you (or the person you're communicating with) may be hauling a couple of kids and 700 pounds of groceries into the house! You just never know what that ring-a-ling-ling may be interrupting!
6. Share something about yourself that
might surprise someone that you’re getting to know. I was on TV before. Twice! One in 6th grade when the local news did Weather School. I got to show my project about the seasons. And next time was about two years ago when I was in a scrapbooking contest on the local news. There were three of us and we were given the same materials and pictures and a limited amount of time to make a 2-page layout. I didn't win, but it was still fun!
7. Do you color your
hair? Yes, and you can thank me for doing so! I like to keep it light because I feel like a big, frumpy, meany when it's dark. I am much more sunny with a head of blonde hair!
8. Do you wear glasses or
contacts? No, I wear only sunglasses.
9. What is your favorite breakfast
food? Cheesecake. Yeah, dream on! Second choice would be eggs over hard with some salt and pepper and a side of fresh fruit. I'd also like a giant cup of coffee with sweet and delicious creamer. But that last part ain't happening either!
10. Would your friends say that you’re
sarcastic? No, we never have discussions about sarcasm.
11. Do you prefer salty or
sweet? Both. Have you ever made mini pretzels with a hershey kiss on the top. Melt them in the oven on 200 for about 3 minutes. Top with an M&M and stick in the fridge for 15 minutes. Oh man, GOOD! I'll be making oodles of these for a Valentine's treat for the staff at the Elementary school soon.
12. What is the first thing you notice
about the opposite sex? Seriously? Well, I rarely pay attention to anything physical since I can feast my eyes on my handsome husband daily. I do notice attitude though. If they are a big-tough-guy and being overly bossy with their kids, or if they are playing on their phone and not paying attention to their kids.
13. What is the last movie you
watched? Safety Not Guaranteed. This is an indie my husband picked out from the 99 cent movies on iTunes last night. It turned out to be a pretty good one!
14.
Are you religious? I'm not sure I like the way this answer is stated. It makes it sound like it wants to know if I'm a strict, uptight, hymnal-stuck-in-my-rear kind of person. Well, no. I'm not like that. However, God plays a huge role in my heart and I'm learning to allow Him to play an even bigger role in my life.
15. Are you a neat freak, a slob, or
somewhere in between? I'm a level right below neat freak. I think it's impossible for a person with children to be a neat freak and NOT be confined to an insane asylum.
16. Share something from your bucket
list that you hope to do someday. I hope you're not expecting some thrilling, risk-taking, adventure here.. I've gotten enough adrenaline-pumping (not in a good way) 'adventures' this week just driving to work! One thing I have hoped to do one day was to take my family camping on the Oregon coast in the very same campground I went to as a kid and loved. Lucky me, I'm also a good tast-checker-off'er (see #1) and we're planning this trip this summer! CHECK!
17. Are you a risk taker, or do you
prefer to play it safe? I am FAR from being a risk taker! I'm a complete square and not afraid to admit it. I don't break rules (on purpose) and very much like to play it safe!
18. Have you ever worn
braces? Nope! I'm asked often by dentists if I've had them, but nope!
19. Would you rather spend an evening at
a theater or at a club? A theater. I'm not a 'club' girl and never have been. Besides, the only place I get crazy and dance, is safely at home with my kids where we can all look like goofballs and we have fun! No Judgy McJudgersons there!
20. If you could have three wishes, what
would one of them be? I would wish that my children would be able to grow up in a world of love. A world where there is no teasing, no fighting, and no BULLIES. Just acceptance of people of all shapes, sizes, looks, and walks of life. After all, we're all just trying to get by and we all have our own unique trials. So just quit judging and show a little kindness!
