April 2010 Siggy Challenge: Next Vacation Destination
1. What tv shows have you (if ever) watched as a marathon? I have my own true blood and glee marathons, on those boring cozy days where I don't want to do anything. I am embarrassed to say that I have found myself watching 16 and Pregnant and "I Didn't Know I was Pregnant". They just hook me.
2. If you had a yacht, what would you name it? Ocean Breeze (people in my family call me Breeze or Breezy)
3. What is the first book that you can remember reading by yourself as a child? My great grandma used to read me Herman?s Red Shirt (one of those books with the gold binding). I remember having it memorized so it was kind of reading but kind of not.
4. What one habit would you never, ever give up? Ponytails. I know this sounds really stupid, but I cannot go a day without putting my hair in a pony tail. I have really thick hair so it annoys the crap out of me if it is down for too long. It drives my mom nuts, and it is a big deal if people see me with my hair down. Now it just habit to grab a hair tie and put it up!
5. Plans for the (long) weekend? Lots of laundry and cleaning. Saturday DH has to work so I am going to try and do some crafting (scrapbooking and sewing), and just relax. We will also watch football. Sunday is alllll about the Patriots. Monday DH has to work, and I actually have the day off, so I am just going to relax and enjoy the day!
1. What tv shows have you (if ever) watched as a marathon?
Oh a lot.....lol. Friends, Sex and the City, The Sopranos, 24, Prison Break, House, Criminal Minds, The Simpsons, those ghost shows I forget what they're called....I'm sure there is a lot more. I like to have something on in the background when I'm doing things and DH and I like to have some cuddle time and watch a couple shows from a marathon before we head to bed. Horrible habit I know, but it's not like we're going to be able to do it much longer!!!
2. If you had a yacht, what would you name it?
Probably "Bayou" after my doggie
3. What is the first book that you can remember reading by yourself as a child?
First full out real book I remember reading over and over would probably be Little House on the Prairie (sp?). I was obsessed.
4. What one habit would you never, ever give up?
Hmm.... Hopefully taking lots of pictures. And always saying "I love you".
5. Plans for the (long) weekend?
My brother is coming into town today
2. If you had a yacht, what would you name it? maybe The Targus (after Dr. Who)
3. What is the first book that you can remember reading by yourself as a child? The Story of Ferdinand (the Bull)
4. What one habit would you never, ever give up? applying lip balm before going to bed... can't stand dry lips (or hands) when trying to fall asleep!
5. Plans for the (long) weekend? Helping SIL move on Saturday and then watching NFL Playoffs on Sunday; Monday just chilling out, getting stuff done around the apartment.

I ALWAYS have my hair up, any everyone always says I look so much better with hair down, but it drives my totally nuts when it is down! I am so glad that I am not the only one.
1. What tv shows have you (if ever) watched as a marathon? Battlestar Galactica, oh, how I enjoyed that show, and getting to watch episode after episode was awesome. One Christmas my brother got the first season or 24, so the family watched the whole season over 3 or 4 days.
I have always had this name in mind if I ever got a boat, not that I plan to ever get one though.
2. If you had a yacht, what would you name it? Sea Spells

3. What is the first book that you can remember reading by yourself as a child?
I used to have a million of those little "Golden Books" anyone else remember those? I loved them!!! One of the first chapter books was probably Judy Blume's "Superfudge" or "Freckle Juice" something like that. I've loved books my whole life!
4. What one habit would you never, ever give up?
I'm extremely addicted to chapstick, and I couldn't give it up if I tried!! But I guess I should never give up the habit of exercise - it's good insurance for a healthy life

Tonight - gym, pizza, clean the house

2. If you had a yacht, what would you name it? hmmmm...not sure, never really thought about it seeing as how I don't really live anywhere near a large body of water
3. What is the first book that you can remember reading by yourself as a child? probably either the Little Golden books (loved them) or something by Judy Blume, I've always loved to read.
