The Black Swan - It was amazing!!!
2. In the past 365 days, what?s the longest you?ve gone without connecting in any way to the Internet, including email.
Five days while in the mountains of Colorado! My phone was wigging out after we got into reception on the way home with all of the e-mails coming in! Haha!
3. What song have you frequently listened to lately?
F You by Cee Lo Green is my newest addition to my workout playlist... : ) And Lady Gaga - Born This Way (great song to run to)
4. What gives you the heebie-jeebies?
There was this super creeper guy that went to our high school, and he had this clown like laugh...well, apparently Jeff can do it perfectly, and it creeps me out so much!! Especially cause he will do it in the dark at our house.
5. Plans for the weekend?
Tonight I am working out after work (have to hit it hard since we got a foot of snow in five hours yesterday, so the gym wasn't possible. : (
After workout, I have to hurry up and get ready because I am doing the taxes for Jeff's friend, then us three are going out to dinner, as the friend takes me out of supper every year for doing his taxes.
Saturday during the day I plan to workout and clean the house. That night Jeff and I and two friends (one the taxes guy) are going to a boxing match. Apparently, it will be airing on Showtime Saturday night! So that should be really fun.
Sunday - I need to workout, clean the house more (sister's fam coming next weekend) and get some groceries.

2. In the past 365 days, what?s the longest you?ve gone without connecting in any way to the Internet, including email. probably only 3-4 days (while on our honeymoon) - otherwise, I'm on every day at work.
3. What song have you frequently listened to lately? "Grenade" by Bruno Mars - not by choice, but because it's on the radio every 5 seconds.
4. What gives you the heebie-jeebies? the thought of bugs crawling all over my body.. aggggh.
5. Plans for the weekend? we might see my mom for lunch or dinner on Saturday, but otherwise absolutely nothing for the first time in a long time - and I'm so looking forward to it!

2. In the past 365 days, what?s the longest you?ve gone without connecting in any way to the Internet, including email. 7 days. And that was when we got married and went on our honeymoon.
3. What song have you frequently listened to lately? Enrique Iglesias "Tonight". It's my go-to workout song right now. And I like to dance to it in the car.
4. What gives you the heebie-jeebies? Spiders. And centi/millipedes. And generally anything with less than 2 legs and more than 4.
5. Plans for the weekend?Tonight: Dinner the The Melting Pot with DH. It's our first time going there and we are super excited. Saturday and Sunday: cleaning the house and taking the dog to the kennel in preparation for MIL's arrival. She'll be staying with us a couple days while DH has his surgery on Monday.1. Of these Best Picture nominees for Oscar, which title could best serve as the title of your 2010:
I would have to say "The Social Network"! 2010 was a huge year for me in terms of being social - especially with the wedding and all of the communicating that was required in the months leading up to the wedding, and then in the months that followed.
Add to that the fact that 2010 was my first full year on FB (I joined in summer of '09), and I was very pleasantly surprised how connected I stayed with friends and family from around the world on a regular basis, as opposed to the pre-FB days when I would only hear from some of these people only occasionally, if ever.
2. In the past 365 days, what?s the longest you?ve gone without connecting in any way to the Internet, including email.
For me, that would be a big, fat ZERO ! My BB is never far from my side...even on vaca!
3. What song have you frequently listened to lately?
Blame it on the Grammy's, but it's a toss up between Ce-lo's "F**k You!" and Katie Perry's "Teenage Dream"
4. What gives you the heebie-jeebies?
Any kind of fungus looking things on trees or plants. Sometimes we get this mushroomy looking fungus in some places in the garden in the summer, and I always grab a sick or something and obliterate it whenever I see it!
5. Plans for the weekend?
Tonight, hanging out at home with the family and just relaxing...
Saturday - shopping and lunch with Mom, and then who knows? Hope whatever H and I find to get into is a lot of fun :-)
Sunday - If I haven't done so by then, finding a comfy place at home and finishing up "The Golden Prince"!
Awesome questions, Mel!!! Have a good weekend, Ladies :-)

April Nesties March siggy challenge: Next Vacation, Anguilla!!
1. Of these Best Picture nominees for Oscar, which title could best serve as the title of your 2010: True Grit for sure - 2010 was a tough year, full of all good things, but LOTS of juggling and stress. It took true grit to manage it all!!!! (and deal with my in-laws)

5. Plans for the weekend? Hanging out with friends Saturday night at our friend's house - but otherwise, not too much. Just the usual grocery shopping and cleaning and relaxing1. I only know Inception but my year was not like that so I don't know what to choose.
2.Probably 2 days, while on the honeymoon.
3.Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson's Don't You Wanna Stay.
4. Thinking of anyone being interested in the maintenance guy I work with (he's married to the manager but seems like there's something between him and the services coordinator . . .YUCK!!)

5. Plans for the weekend Today is DH's bday, so tonight we're getting together with friends at a local beer garden; we're expecting around ~30 people to show up so it should be fun. Tomorrow we're shopping for his gift during the day - he knows what I'm getting him but it's something he needs to pick out himself. Saturday night I'm taking him to a steakhouse in the city. Sunday, recovering!
