That's What You Think!

I recently was involved in an e-mail questionnaire between some friends.  It was a "How well do you know me?" kind of meme (whatever that means... Amanda???).  These were some of the answers from my friends and family that I found most humorous... my responses are in red.

1. Where/how did we meet:

I would assume it was in the hospital in Lubbock after I was born.

You kicked me from inside the womb. 

One from my sister, one from my mom.  You guess which is which.

2. Take a stab at my middle name:

Lou

Jill

Marie

Michelle

Nope... but Marie is my Granny's middle name

3. Do I smoke:

Only a little medicinal marijuana for your glaucoma (my other answer would be NO!!!)

The "other answer" is the correct one.  :)  I have never even tried it.

4. Do I have any siblings:

Yes three - one brother, one average sister, and one phenomenal sister that just happens to live 12 minutes from your front door

Hmmm... I wonder who wrote that one.

5. What's one of my favorite things to do:

Lay around in your PJs drinking diet cherry Dr Pepper from Sonic

Blog stalk

Sleep  :)

Blog, go to your kid's sporting events, have family gatherings, go to the movies, go to Starbucks with a friend 

Yes, yes, yes, and yes

6. What's my favorite type of music:

Whatever James Taylor is classified under (old people music according to your daughter)

I'm sure you're listening to a lot of Hannah Montana and Jonas Bros. these days.

Yep!  

7. Am I shy or outgoing:

You come across as somewhat shy, but there is a little fire burning just under the surface waiting to bust out every once in awhile.

You can be reserved but are certainly outgoing with the right people.

Right - o!  

8. Am I a rebel or do I follow the rules:

I think you are a rules player but can be a little rebel if needed for fun! 

So... let's go have some fun.

9. Any special talents:

You are one of the most compassionate people I know.  I guess that's more of a gifting.  You can throw a great party!

Sleeping with your eyes open

Homeschooling two children while caring for a third, being quick to listen and slow to speak (James 1:19)

Writing

Your creativity in photography is some of the best I've ever known.

You could totally be a party planner and make millions.

Awww... Shucks!  Thanks, kids!

10. How many children do I have: 

3 on Earth, 2 in Heaven

I'm not even kidding... when people remember that I have 5 babies, it is the sweetest thing ever.

11. What do I drive:

A gray van with lots of cookie crumbs. :0)

True.  8 years and counting

12. How old am I:

REALLY OLD!!!! 

Yeah, and I am feeling it today.

13. If you and I were stranded on a desert island, what is

one thing that I would bring:

Scrapbooks of your family 

A comfy blanket

The question says if you and I were stranded.  You said I'd bring my Bible, so I hope you'd bring the Starbucks.  You'd bring that new laptop you're using, along with a satellite wi-fi router so we could blog-stalk together until we died from exposure and dehydration.

A Sonic Drive-in

A laptop

A Sonic Dive-In!!!!  Hi-freakin'-larious!!!  That is not that impractical, come to think of it!  I do love my comfy blankets, and they could provide a little shade too.  As to you "computer-bringin'-people"... it is a desert island, people!!!  There's no power (or Internet service) there... I don't care what you say.
