Blog Challenge from Kris

1. Last 3 books you borrowed from the library or bought at the store that we should read: "Flyte" by Angie Sage, "The Black Jewels Trilogy," by Anne Bishop and "Cottage Witchery," by Ellen Dugan.

2. Preferred time to wake up and start the day and what you would PREFER to be doing.
We wake up around 9:30 or 10:00, which is exactly when I like it. I prefer to have a cup of coffee and cook breakfast; then, we sit and watch tv for an hour or so before nap time. At nap time, I get my computer groove on. =)

3. Name 4 songs that have special memories attached to them, and what those memories are:
- "Cooling" by Tori Amos - got me through my big break-up.
- "East Bound & Down" by Jerry Reed - HELLO! Smokey & the Bandit, baby - my sister and I watch this movie all the time. It's our favorite.
- "Me & Bobby McGee" by Kris Kristofferson/Janis Joplin/Big Brother & the Holding Co. - my dad used to play this on his guitar while my grandma sang.. good memories.
- "You Never Even Call Me By My Name" by David Allen Coe - my mother told me when I was 3 that she was going to put me up for adoption for not knowing the words to this song. I learned them within a week cause I thought she was serious.

4. Tell me about one dream you seem to have over and over and remember. OR, tell me about the last dream you remember:
I started having a recurring dream when Matt and I broke up. The dream is that I don't graduate from high school. It comes in different forms - you failed math class, you missed a gym credit, etc. But it always ends with me not graduating. I think I have this dream when I feel like I'm not where I'm supposed to be in life.. like I'm still playing catch-up. When I started having it, I felt like I had wasted 5 years of my life, and now I was starting over again, so it makes sense..

5. Whose is your favorite blog (or 2 or 3...) out there at this time and why? (I know my choice changes with the wind.) :
I love the effer's blog (http://fortheloveofeffers.blogspot.com)
And there aren't really any others that I read except the ones on my sidebar here - my scrappin' friends. I don't have a favorite - I love reading ALL of them. I've learned so much about all of you!

6. Share a favorite picture you’ve taken. Why is it a favorite?
I'll have to do this one later.. I don't have any good ones on my work computer.

7. Write a Haiku about any subject you choose. Most common ones have 5 syllables in 1st line, 7 syllables in 2nd & 5 syllables in 3rd line. Have fun!

I am tired of
working in this hell hole of
a job. Time to go.

8. Your ‘last supper’… What would be your most favorite drink, appetizer, salad, dinner & dessert if you could have anything in the world?
Drink: Vodka/Tonic, Pepsi, or a Vanilla Latte - whichever was closest and most readily available.
Appetizer: Spinach/Artichoke dip w/pita chips
Salad: Caesar
Dinner: Fried Chicken
Desert: Heath Crunch Pie from Perkins OR Creme Brulee, but only if we have a torch.

9. What are you looking forward to most, this summer? Going somewhere? Buying something exciting? Seeing a movie or play you love? Share!
I'm looking forward to it ending. I hate summer.

10. Tell me a couple habits that you had as a child that you now continue to repeat, and possibly see your children (if you have them) copying as well? ( I personally lick all the inside of an Oreo before I eat the cookies, so do my DDs.)
I bite my fingernails - horribly. Thank God Zion hasn't done it yet..

Fun challenge, Kris! Thank you!
