Friend Making Monday, a short survey

Remember my One Word post from last week...
well it too came from Friend Making Monday
here http://www.alltheweigh.com/
go there and participate if you dare.

I think I just might make it my regular Monday post?.?


A Short Survey

1) What is your favorite household chore? And what is your least favorite? I like mowing the lawn. (does this count as a household chore) I loath laundry, plain and simple...hate it! It is a task that is never done.

2)What is your favorite city? London, it has so much character old and new.

3) Have you found real love yet? Absolutely and I adore him even when he is in a mood. :)

4) What's one thing you eat almost everyday? Some kind of cookie...it's the only thing I can think of.

5) What was your last thought before falling asleep last night? I was hoping I could wake up headache free. Haven't done that for a few days because of this stinkin inversion.

6) What's the worst injury you had as a child? I was about 14 and riding a skateboard, fell off and broke my wrist. I didn't even like skateboards, just trying to impress the boys.

7) Will you/have you worked out today? No. I really need to though. Motivation is lacking, it's much easier when it's warm outside to get out and get a speed walk in.

8) Do you tweet? No way, no how. Not ganna happen. ;)

9) List three things you wouldn't want to live without: My family, my beliefs and a home.

10) Hold old were you when you had your first kiss? I was 13 his name was Mike and it was on the fourth of July in the dugout at the baseball field during the fireworks.

Remakes

I saw this tonight.
Not bad.
I remember the first one.
A girlfriend and I found ourselves
all alone on a Friday night
and decided to catch a flick.
Unfortunately, because we decided so late
our options were limited.
So we found ourselves
watching the adventures of
Gulliver in Liliput.
It really was pretty funny
in a sorta dumb way.
I think the kids will like it.
I figure if you get a laugh
it's worth your time.

Pin Down

It's official
My bowling team won 1st place
in the first half.
This means...
no matter how crappy
or inconsistent
we may bowl from hear on out
We still get to bowl off for 1st place
at the end of the year.
a 50/50 chance of winning it all.
This means more PRIZE MONEY.
The goal is always to win enough
to pay for lunch and the banquet.
Winning first does this and more.
:)
I have been trying to curb
my competitive nature
I really have....;)
but when your sitting in the top 3
it's hard not to want it all.
So after finishing 1st
I can now sit back
relax
and enjoy the rest of the year.
Bowling is a fun way to hang with friends
and have a day out.

Full Files

I have been wanting to post pictures
of
Christmas
and all other happenings since...
However, my files are full
my computer files.
I can't download my camera
or video camera
until I clear out disk space.
So I am currently
converting all my HD videos to mpeg files
cleaning my photo files
and saving them to my external hard drive.
A VERY time consuming process.
Soon
I promise
I will post pictures of the happenings at our house.
Until then....
A quick update:
Bailee is currently back at WSU
enjoying her 2nd semester.
Rehearsing for the musical "Anything Goes".
She is the only freshman girl in the show
and has been moved to the role of "Chastity" an Angel.
Benjamin is being social social social.
Surprise I know.
Doing well with his grades
and enjoying his time performing with RHS MDT.
Surprise as well, I know. (the performing, not the good grades)
HE will also spend his first time away from home
ALONE
He is attending the UTA (Utah Theatre Association) Conference
In St George this week.
The fun he will have....
I of course have lectured him endlessly about what not to eat. ;)
Brooklyn is enjoying her break from Ballet.
The Nutcracker about did her in.
She is loving school and friends
and growing growing growing.
I can't believe in just 6 months she will be in Young Women's.
Life continues to move forward...
Joyfully.
