A non-spicy poll
I was going to make a Spicy Friday post re: anal sex, but now I feel a little weird doing it since the big board news revolves around sweet little babies at the moment. (Count on one for next week though!)
So anyway, how about a random poll instead?

Movie you could watch again and again: A Few Good Men
Your first car: 1988 Chrysler New Yorker. It was my grandparents' and while it was a luxury car in the 80s, it was so embarrassing circa 2000. Luckily it died after about 6 months, and my parents bought be a Ford Contour.
Your dream car: I'm not too into cars, but I'd like a nice car like an Audi A-6 or a BMW someday. In the nearer future, I'm hoping we can replace our current car with a Nissan Altima or maybe an Infiniti soon.
Your favorite piece of clothing you own:
I really love the jacket I'm wearing today.
Also, this is one of my favorite dresses:
Your favorite alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage: Riesling on regular occasions, strawberry dacquiri on vacation.
Do you have any hobbies? Does your H? I don't really do anything crafty anymore, but I like to read and do yoga. I don't know if those count as hobbies. I used to draw a lot, I'd love to get back into it. Maybe someday I'll make time for a class. H plays basketball and most of his reading, studying, and watching TV also revolves around basketball.
How many hours a night you sleep on average: 7-8.
Where and when is your next trip or vacation, if you have one planned? If you don't, where do you hope it might be? Going to Block Island next weekend and spending as much time on the Cape as possible in August-September. I'm hoping it will be more than one weekend, but H's work schedule is tough this year.
What color are your bedroom walls? One wall is just white paint, another is unpainted exposed brick, and the third is brick painted white. (We don't have a fourth wall, it is more like a sleeping nook than a bedroom.)
Movie you could watch again and again: mostly just comedies in general. I'm a sucker for stupid Adam Sandler movies.
Your first car: 1993 Ford Probe. I loved that the lights came out of the hood. It was a lemon, though, so it went back and I got a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am.
Your dream car: I have a car addiction. I love a good 1970 mustang, or something new would be the Volvo XC90 they just came out with.
Your favorite piece of clothing you own: I own a really cute striped search with some roses on it. It's super comfy and lightweight for the summer. It's maternity, so not sure how much I'll love it later.
Your favorite alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverage: love me a good margarita. otherwise, I love Crystal Light.
Do you have any hobbies? Does your H? I like to play with the pups in my free time. Not really a hobby I guess. I don't really have one anymore. I used to play pool and bowl, but it got expensive. DH plays disc golf right now and loves it.
How many hours a night you sleep on average: 6 maybe? I don't sleep well, other than on the weekends.
Where and when is your next trip or vacation, if you have one planned? If you don't, where do you hope it might be? We have a wedding kind of far away that we might turn into a mini vaca, but we'll see how the LO is doing at that point. Otherwise, we're looking into possibly doing a cruise next year or something. Grandma will love taking the munchkin for a week for us.
What color are your bedroom walls? Ugh. White. It's a neglected room compared to all the others in the house. Maybe some day.
Me too, especially the old ones like Billy Madison. Our friend is working for Adam Sandler right now. He's shooting a movie in Boston and on the Cape. Our friend's whole job is to sit around the set and wait until Adam feels like playing basketball. And then play ball with him. And stay in free hotels. Haha, it's a pretty sweet deal. Apparently Adam is a really nice guy.
Movie you could watch again and again: Mean Girls
Your first car: '87 Plymouth Horizon
Your dream car: I hate to also jump on the BMW bandwagon, but I've wanted one since before I worked at a BMW dealership and still do. As far as a "dream" car probably the Z4. As far as something that I might actually own someday, maybe a 3 or 5 series.
Your favorite piece of clothing you own: Overall a pair of jeans that make my butt look good. Right now I'm loving several of my summer sun dresses though.

What color are your bedroom walls? They are a purple/grey color. If that makes sense.
Elizabeth, how does one get a job playing basketball with Adam Sandler? it sounds so awesome, but so random.
Amie, Mean Girls was based on my high school. Let's just say I didn't exactly love high school.
To everyone wanting a BMW, I will say that I absolutely love mine! I bought it used and got an amazing deal. I don't drive a lot, but it makes driving so much fun.
Movie you could watch again and again: When Harry Met Sally and The American President.
Your first car:'95 Chrysler DHS which I shared with my dad. They only made it for a few years, and it was such an old person car. My friends actually called it the Pimp Mobile because it was black with black interior and had tinted windows, which at that time was kind rare.
Your dream car: An Audi TT. I love little sports cars, but they are just so not practical in Chicago, especially when B and I only have one car. My current car, a BMW 3 series convertible comes pretty close though. I absolutely love it.

He (our friend) often choreographs basketball scenes in movies, and he had worked on one with AS a long time ago. Adam called him up a few months ago and asked him to come out to LA for a couple months prior to filming to help get him into shape - at which point, the friend's job was just to hang out around LA until Adam called him to come play bball at his house. After, he travelled with Adam for the movie. He films with a pretty massive entourage, including everyone's families.
Sushi, I'm jealous of your trip to the Maldives! H and I are dying to go there.
