TAGGED!!! 

  1. What songs/books from your childhood are the most meaningful to you? Well I know that I LOVED the Little House on the Prarie books. I loved the idea of living out on the plains and having nothing to do but chase prarie dogs. When I was younger though my favorite book for my mom to read to me was The Berenstien Bears and the Spooky old Tree my favorite part was “and one with the shivers!!” Read it and you will know what I am talking about. OH and I also really liked a book called Jamberry I think I think that was what it was called.  AND there was another one called Something like Sylvester and the magic pebble. A book about a donkey that found a magic pebble and it granted wishes and somehow something went wrong and the donkey turned into a rock. I think one of the most meaningful to me was Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. Anyway, I had a lot of favorite books. I could go on and on. Each book reminds me of another one tha tI loved. I still love childrens books! But I will stop. And songs, well there are WAY too many to talk about. My mom ALWAYS sings. We would sing rounds on car trips and we had a singing club when I was younger where I learned a whole bunch of silly songs. But I guess the song that sticks out to me the most is the song “I love the mountains, I love the rolling hills” I actually dont know the real name of it. But my mom sang that to me a lot. I am sure I will sing it to my kids.
  2. If you didn’t have the constraints of family, work, and time what would you love to be doing now with your life? I really dont have any constraints… I basically am doing exactly what I want to be doing right now in my life. Maybe, if I wasnt going on a mission, I would be going to school for all the things that I really want to do but can’t because of money and well, timing. Like interior design, culinary arts, cosmotology, floral decorating… things like that. Mostly I love just learning. And all of those things sound fun! Oh and I would LOVE to visit every museum in the world! Well, maybe there are a few that I wouldnt want to see, but mostly all of them.
  3. Who did you have the biggest crush on in middle school/junior high – celebrity or real life? Celebrities? Harrison Ford. I once had a dream that he and Willow reseued from a swamp monster. But other than that I think I basically liked any boy that liked me… which probably wasn’t many… because I can’t think of any specific crushes.
  4. What is something you can’t seem to keep yourself from purchasing? Gumballs. I have a really hard time passing a gumball machine and not putting all the quarters that I have in there.
  5. What, specifically, have you done in your life that you are the most proud of? Wow, I really cant think of anything that would sound good to anyone but myself. Although, I just got a letter from my friend Ron and he said that I inspired him to start flossing. Which is a BIG thing! And I am VERY proud of that! Oh and one time I gave a police man a bloody lip! That’s pretty cool!

Maybe you and I share part of the same brain! You listed some of my favorite books, only they’re my favorites now, not 40 years ago! Have you seen the “Little House” picture books? I have a couple at school that you should come by and see sometime.

I love gumballs at the mall, too! And on the way out of Walmart, and those ones you can buy at the checkstand at Shopko that come with 8 or 10 in a package. YUM!

I read “Jamberry” every year during “nutrition” week in kindergarten and for our “fruits” activity we make Jamberry Sauce and have it with vanilla ice cream. I’ll get you the recipe.

I love everything by Judith Viorst. When Fuffy was little he reminded me of poor, little Alexander. Such a funny memory…
