20 questions......


Well, I can't grumble and ask who makes up these things--cuz I know who made this one up.

1. What is your all time favourite book, from childhood, as an adult?
Way to get me stuck on the first question!!!!

Oy geeze..... ummmmm.... Dr. Seuss' Butter Battle Book (can't remember my childhood so I'm stealing one of from the kiddos' childhood......so pffffffttt!) And Pat Conroy's books. Pick one. I just like how the fella writes.

2. All time favourite movie as above?
Oh c'mon.......LOL I didn't have time for movies when I was growing up.......nor do I make time for them now. Ummm...... Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (only cuz I have Burt Bacharach stuck in my head for some reason...LOL) and........ Phantom of the Opera (let's see if Burt exits my brain NOW....LOL)

3. Favourite type of chocolate, and how much of it do you eat a week?

Ick. Ack. PASS!!!!

Coffee--one cream and one sugar in the morning, black after 11a.m. Alcoholic (yes...LOL) As I say with a smile in my eyes "I prefered 'more and yours', thankyou."

5. Where is your all time best holiday destination?

Anywhere on the coast of England. Or......Utah. We are sooooooooooo going back to Utah. And Arizona. And New Mexico......NOT FAIR.....I can't choose...*muttering*

6. Where is your dream holiday destination?

Tahiti. Well, wait.....that's not necessarily a 'dream holiday'. It's where I threaten to go when I don't WANNA deal in life and realities!

7. Which is the best Beatles track of all time?
UH oh.........for sure I'll lose Burt Bacharach with this question! I haffta PICK?!

Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band album.........ummm....When I'm Sixty Four? Wait....All You Need Is Love! WAIT! Oy geeze.....this is not the morning for picking ONE.

8. What are you most proud of having achieved (having children doesn't count)

Achieved? Dunno that it's achieved as in 'done'. I'm most 'proud' of the relationship that I have with the Big Guy today. From that GREAT works have appeared in my life and in the lives of others.

9. What would you want for your last supper ever?(assuming it's food you like now and not liquidized mush when you are 90!)

Popcorn and cheesecake. Yeah, yeah.......g'head and lecture me if you must! It's my last meal and I can if I WANNA!

10.How old were you when you had your first snog, name of snoggee if you dare?

Ummmmm....somehow I don't think 'snog' means 'nap'....and I'm thinkin' if I ask himself he'll burst out laughing......PASS!!!

11.Do you have an unfulfilled ambition?
*nodding* It's a daily quest.

12.If so what is it?
To let everything I say and do speak to who I am.
Wisepersoninmylife would tell me I JUST need to let things LOOK how they are.....*shuddering* ACK!!!!

13.What yer gonna do about achieving it?

*frowning and making the raspberry noise* Pfffffffffffffttttttttttttt!!!!!! :-P

Every once in a while I actually LET myself let it look how it is.....and then I run like the wind in the other direction--REALLY fast!
Yeah, yeah.......practice, practice, practice! *rolling eyes*

14.Describe the outfit that best describes you as you are.

Ummmm....good ol' faded and worn levi's. Bit ragged around the edges with a few holes, but comfy as all get out.

15.If you were on Desert Island Discs which one piece of music would you want to keep?

NOT Burt Bacharach! LOL

How about "Unforgettable"..........*happy sigh*

16. And what would the luxury item be, as in no use at all, on a desert island?

My popcorn popper. LOL

WOW. What an interesting glimpse, abbreviated although it may be, into your life. I can't tell about the chocolate thing -- either you hate chocolate (is such a thing even possible??) or you can't confess (which I also find equally unlikely). I'm stumped! :)

You forgot to mention the odd socks in your outfit!

Oh and I can just imagine you blending popcorn and cake when you've got no teeth left!

Ok, some of those questions are kinda tough. I may answer them when I've thought about it for a bit.

Other than your partner, Brad Pitt and George Clooney, who else IS there to fantasize about?

Snogging is kissing! Did a Brit send you this? :)
