    LOL

    Why don't you spell in a Canadian fashion Shelly??  It makes life so much more fun.  colour, flavour, honour, centre, theatre.... 

    If you could live ANY place in the world, where would you live and why?

  • ooh wait--I do spell theatre like that, go me!

    Hmmm, I want to say Hawaii, though I think I'd get island fever (is that what they call it?)  I'm a little too ADD to see myself living in one place besides this crazy state--if I was going to move, I'd like to have the option of moving multiple times over the next 20 or so years...not so good for the kiddies though...

  • Ok Shelly... on the same lines as my question to Jaye.. What is your favorite thing to cook?

  • You should buy a yacht and just travel the world for the rest of your life!

    It's funny that when I see the word theatre (spelled MY way) it actually comes out sounding french in my head.  tey-a-tre.  I only see it as thee-a-ter when it's theater.  Weird tangent.

    Do you enjoy living in phx?

    I am a terrible cook!  I love to bake!  Last week I made cake balls and they came out great!  Tangent--Kirstin, have you made these?

    The french sounds better don't you think?!

    I like Phoenix because my family is here, but I have recently entertained the idea of living somewhere else :)

    We just have such a large church family that I can't imagine leaving them, although sometimes being around people that have known you since you were 10ish is annoying (as most of them were already 'grown-ups' then) 

  • I have yet to make those Shelly. Did you putthem on sticks like cake pops? or just balls?
  • I just did the balls, but next time I'm planning on doing the sticks.  I rushed them (I'm too impatient) so they didn't come out nearly as pretty as I wanted, but they were really tasty!
  • Ok same beauty pageant question I asked Jaye (and remember you're being judged on this, so smile while you answer)  LOL:

    If you could have dinner with any famous person in history, whom would it be and why?

  • First let me say, that it is an honor to be here spending quality time with everybody tuning in this evening...

    That is a great question!  I have a hard time picking just one person so I'll tell you my top 3:

    The apostle Paul, Buddha and Ghandi.  I'd love to hear their commentary on today's society and just share in their passion.  Now, since dead people are a little stinky, if I had to choose someone among the living, I'll take dinner with the Obamas please.

    Wow, your response was so much more sophisticated than mine.... What can I say...I'm shallow. :)

    Now, for shizz... which of your three beautiful children is your fav? 

  • oof! What an impossible question!

    Gary is my favorite because when we started it was just us and single parenting makes you one heck of a mama-bear.  He will always have a special place in my heart. That and he is really funny.

    Emmy is my favorite because she has her weird issues but is so smart.  She's an odd duck like her daddy.  She will always amaze me as she attempts to be like the other kids.

    Lilly is my favorite because she is the happiest sweetest thing on two legs.   Snuggling her is the best thing to do.  Since she is my last, she will always always be my baby.

    I didn't used to get how people could say they didn't have a favorite, but I think your heart can just grow and grow :)

    Now I'm getting emotional, what is up with me this week!? 

  • I don't have kids, but I know what you mean :)  With my furbabies of course.

    Everyone always thinks that Sabby is my favorite between him and his sister Lucy.  But it's totally not true.  When I'm snuggling with Sebastian, my heart swells with how much I adore him.  Then when I'm getting one on one time with Lucinda I feel the same way.  Everyday I love them more and more and more.

    This.

  • Cake balls are from what I know --- cake and frosting rolled up into balls, and then covered in chocolate.  Sometimes people put them on sticks so they look like pops, some just leave them as is and they look like a little truffle. 
  • Yes!  This is correct!  If you want more info check out bakerella's blog--she's awesomesauce :)
  • Who is bakerella- and where can I buy her? Wink

  • Oh and I will try to make some for the next gtg!

    Watch out I'm gonna show up at your doorstep with some and a little charm or something and make you cry! lol, we can both cry together :P 

  • I'm going to make an attempt at continuing our fun today since we made such progress yesterday :) 

    What is the most expensive home you've ever sold?

  • The most $$$ was 425k.  Mostly I've been on the buyer's side and that one was just over 200k.
  • Do you like Britney Spears?
  • I kinda do.  I'm not at all music knowledgeable like you, I'm a music-ignoramus.  I think her music is catchy, though her personal life was such a train wreck...

    So, I like and look at (and probably judge) from a distance :)

    I'm totally not music knowledgeable :)

    I feel the same way about Brit Brit though.  I really can't help it that my hips just want to dance when Gimme More comes on.  They have a mind of their own. 

    If you could change ONE thing about yourself (anything!), what would it be and why?

  • Yowza, I feel like SO much of me is a work in progress--hmmm, I wish I was a better singer!  I'm a rock star in the car, but really could use just a few voice lessons-ha!
  • Car singing is the best! 

    I bet you rock it out on RockBand! 

    What is your fav song to sing??

  • If I gave you $1000 and told you that you could NOT spend it on your kids, or your bills... what on earth would you do with it?

  • oof!  Once again the ignoramus kicks in...right now we are all pre-school music in our car, but I just taught Emmy- John Jacob Jingleheimer...and we are having a ball singing it loud and soft.  As for real music, I'll sing anything that comes on, much to my passenger's chagrin :)
  • I love the word chagrin.  Stephanie Meyer used it A LOT in Twilight.  Julie and I could never figure out what it meant.  Eventually her DH told us.
