Blogoversary Q & A

Yesterday was the two year anniversary for my blog, or in blog-world terms, blogoversary. I was out of time to think of a great way to celebrate, like I did last year, so instead I opened the floor for questions. A few passers by were entertained with the notion and gave it whirl. Here are some questions about myself that inquiring minds want to know;

Mary asks...

1. How did you meet your husband? Ryan and I met at church. I was just about to graduate high school, and the college group at church was going to be doing a choir tour of Cross and the Switchblade (Christian musical about the real-life story of David Wilkerson who was an evangelist to the street kids and gangs in New York back in the late 50's early 60's). So I went to the auditions at church and it was the first time I had any interaction with the college group. I saw Ryan, whom I had never met, and thought 'hmmm, I'm going to like the college group!'. Pretty shallow, I know, but what can I say, he's cute! During the course of the musical and tour we met and became friends. Later that Fall, Ryan started a home group bible study, which I joined. Then he helped me get a job at Carl's Jr., where he worked as shift manager. After working and spending more time together, we started dating. The rest, as we say, is history!

2. What is your favorite meal to make? If I have to cook, then one of favs is a recipe for Southwestern White Chili. Typically it's a cool weather meal so I haven't made it in a while. I do look forward to pulling it out and making it very soon! But the meal is not complete with out some Incredible Cornbread to go with it (super-good and super-easy!)!!!

3. Do you like fish tacos? I do now! I have typically been a picky eater, something leftover from childhood, I suppose. But now that I'm a full fledged grown-up, I've started to act like one and have tried many new things, like fish tacos, and found that, hey!, I like them and....I will eat them in a house, I will eat them with a mouse, I will eat them here or there, I will eat them anywhere!

4. How tall are you? I am a taller than your average female (I think) and stand at a full 5'7", which is just an inch or two shorter than Ryan so I can not wear any shoes with much of a heel.

5. Do you still love Knightrider? Mary....how dare you! Ok, it's out now (thanks to Mary and her superb memory) when I was a little girl I had a crush on Knightrider. Please notice the past tense of that sentence. Now that I am older, and hopefully more mature, I have outgrown my childish delights and am now Knightrider-free. Let it also be known that I have no desire whatsoever to watch the new show that is coming out this Fall. I have no idea why they would do such a thing anyway, weren't we afflicted enough with that show 20 years ago??

Cat wants to know...

6. What has been your favorite post so far & why? Oh gee, I don't know! That's a really good question. I've done many posts that I like, some funny, some thought provoking and even a few that are heartwarming. But as I think over them all this one sticks out to me the most. Back in February I had written about my desire for new friendships here and my need to step out and work on it. I had a great analogy about the flowers that were in my yard that I didn't know where there and that it was like having friends out there that I hadn't yet discovered. Maybe this post sticks out to me because I can see how the Lord has honored my stepping out and has blessed me with a few great friends since then. I truly am blessed and am so excited to enjoy friendship with these fablous ladies! God is good!

Michelle is begging the question...

7. What is your favorite color? RED

8. What outfit makes you so happy when you wear it? currently I like to sport my jean capris with a short sleeved white shirt (I have two white shirts, one is button down and the other is a pull over with a baby doll look and has little billowed sleeves) and I like to complete my ensamble with a silver necklace that has little red beads that dangle down. This outfit makes me happy!

8. Do you have any awesome dance moves? Um, none that the outside world will ever see.

9. What is your favorite artistic pursuit? up until now it has been making cards and using my stamping supplies to make 'em purdy, but lately I've been thinking of crossing over to beads and necklaces.

Lolly is itching to know....

10. What was your favorite movie from the 80's? Ah man why I can't think of anything??! Well, I've always enjoyed Popeye, but there's also The Little Mermaid. I was a freshman in high school when it came out and I saw it as many times as I could when it was released on video. But we taped Popeye off the tv when it was on, so I could watch it anytime I wanted. I don't know, I guess it's a toss up!

11. What dessert could you (almost) eat endlessly? Pie. Apple pie, my mother's pumpkin pie, cherry pie, oh and let's not forget lemon meringue!

Then Bethany is anxious to find out...

12. If you had a boat what would you name it? Floating Flower, of course!

13. If money was no object, what silly thing would you buy first? a fun pair of red shoes

14. From which store would you want a 10 minute shopping spree? Um, Target, hello?!

Thank you to those who were brave enough to ask a few little questions, and to those who just stopped by to congratulate me on my blogoversary! That was fun.....but now I'm totally out of post options. Hmph!
