Oooh, fun! I still love these things no matter how many times I do them, there is always a few different questions in every one I get.

Oh and Miori, don't worry, I believe none of those accidents were your fault. Really, I do...:smt036 And how the heck did you get to sleep till 9AM this morning? I have been able to do that only once in the last 17 mos. and that was after having my wisdom teeth removed. :angry7: That' s pretty cool that you were born in Hollywood!



1. What time did you get up this morning? 5:30AM
2. Diamonds or Pearls? Diamonds
3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema? PPV, I think it was Pursuit of Happiness a couple of weeks ago. Oh wait, it does say cinema. Well that would be the last Harry Potter movie I saw w/DH, my sister, and BIL when I was still pregnant with boys. So that was November 2005 I believe. Pretty sad.
5. What did you have for breakfast? Oatmeal raisin granola bar and some ruby red grapefruit and coffee. Of course then someone in my office came by w/a tray of delicious banana bread and chocolate chip cookies so I had one of each. That was more of a midmorning snack though. LOL:smt036

8. What foods do you dislike? Too many to list, I am a picky eater.
9. Your favorite Potato chip? BBQ Baked Lays or the Target brand Salt and Vinegar ones
10. What is in your cars CD player at the moment? Nothing, we use our I-pod thingy in the car now that DH got a connector. So I can listen to anything I want. I have lots of playlists so it's a variety all the time. I think I was listening to Michael McDonald when I pulled into work this AM.
11. What kind of car do you drive? Most of the time our Honda Odyssey minivan but occasionally our Jeep Grand Cherokee
12. Favorite sandwich? I'm not a big sandwich person b/c I am picky and eat sandwiches plain except for meat/chees and bread. Does Italian Beef count? If so, then I would say that or a French dip (the French version of Italian beef, LOL)(13. What two characteristics do you despise? probably dishonesty and manipulativeness (is that a word?)
14. What are your favorite clothes? Jeans and sweatshirts!
15. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where WOULDN'T you go? The Middle East
16. Favorite brand of clothing? The Gap and Lucky Brand Jeans
18. What is your favorite time of day? When I pick my boys up after being at work all day. They are alway so happy to see me and it is the best part of the day. If I am home with them it's probably when we get to cuddle while they drink their milk right before bed.

20. What is your favorite sport to watch? Basketball but only the Bulls. Other wise gymnastics or figure skating

26. What is your best childhood memory? The ballerina thing in the previous question stirred up memories of my ballet class when I was 5, I loved my teacher and the smell of her perfume. To this day if I smell it it takes me back to that dance room and dancing to The Beatles "Yesterday".

28. Ever been to Africa? No and I can't imagine I ever will
29. Ever been toilet papering?I was present many times but I never remember actually doing the toilet papering. I do remember going into the store one night at 10PM to buy it with some friends and they would only let us buy one 4 pack. They said that was the limit. We were like "What???" Guess they were on to us.
30. Been in a car accident? Not any where I was the driver.
31. Favorite restaurant? This is tough, b/c it changes all the time. I really can't think of one specific favorite.
32. Favorite flowers? Tulips
33. Favorite Fast Food? Portillo's (local chain)
34. How many times did you fail your drivers test? Never. (I like that this didn't ask if I failed driver's ed as that would be a different answer. Hee, hee.)
35. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?I agree w/Target b/c of the variety of stuff you can buy there. I could get the most bang for my buck there given that I don't have an endless credit limit.

Can't think of a place. Maybe Delaware. Is there anything to do in Delaware?



Hey! I live in Delaware and have all my life. First all you, must not like to shop b/c Delaware has no sales tax! and I guess you would not like sitting on the beach or strolling on the boardwalk (I vacation in Rehoboth every summer, eating at world class restaurants and visiting the outlet shops) Nor do I guess you enjoy playing slots, horse racing, watching Nascar, visiting historical museums like Winterthur or staying at the beautiful Hotel DuPont and stay to a theater production at their Playhouse. I also don't think you would like being less than an hour away from Philly, Baltimore and a little over two from NYC.

It's pretty nice here ;-)

Wait am I reading this right? You got a minivan Lesley???? And an American one at that?

Welcome to the club. I never thought I'd do it until 2 mos. after the boys were born and I just realized it was gonna have to happen. But I still swear that as soon as they are out of that double stroller and the humongous carseats we are selling it.

It is so comfortable and nice to drive though...

Next, Mary - rofl to #6. Who the heck is Nick Drake to #10?






:haha: I was waiting for someone to catch my answer to # 6 (thanks to Austin Powers for that one!)

As for # 10, Nick Drake is a sort of blue-sy singer. He did the music for the Volkswagen commercials a year or so ago (where the young kids ditch a party and go riding in their Cabriolet with the top down & look at the stars). My favorites of his are "Pink Moon" (the Volkswagen commercial song) and Cello Song (Also known as "Spring has Sprung").
