a tag ~ 5 questions

Jul-20-2007 By mylifeasannie

Oh Amanda has tagged me for the 5 questions meme! I looked at the friday’s feast questions this morning and decided to go ahead and do the tag rather than the feast questions… While I’m talking about Amanda, she also talks about igoogle on her blog. I worked on mine… you can add all kinds of things like daily scripture, dictionary, ebible, todo list, clock… and it has the google search bar at the top. You can also create a igadget.

I’m so sleepy this morning (If Matt is reading this he is saying, you are sleepy… I’m agreeing with you… thanks in advance Matt :o). He got two call outs during the night, one at midnight and one at three am. He was able to remotely handle the problems via the computer thank goodness but it was still a disruptive night’s sleep.

We got our dates for Disneyworld… We leave Oct. 3, have a layover in st. louis, and then come home the 9th, with a layover in houston. I’m excited! It’s really only about two months away.

Okay, here are my answers to Oh Amanda’s questions:

1. What’s your favorite piece of furniture in your house & why?
This is easy! My bed. I love to sleep first of all, and my bed is a king sized big comfy bed. I had a tall four poster queen bed and we decided we needed a bigger bed… so I got the bed frame at ikea. It is pretty contemporary. But, I got the puffiest, prettiest, most cottagy bedding that makes it like a cloud. I love it.

2. Why does X stand for a kiss?
Okay Amanda… here in Oklahoma I think the X is the hug? XO is hugs & kisses… I have no idea who thought of this!

3. What’s your guilty pleasure website? You know, the one you might be embarrassed to tell us you visit every day!
I can’t think of any! I used to check in about once a week on the show I mentioned in my other post spoilers… but not anymore. I’ve been known to play a few rounds of solitare or goldminer… or neopets for the kids if I am just sitting and getting iz to sleep or something… I wish I had something more interesting to embarrass myself with :o)

4. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I wanted to do hair … I always played with everyone’s hair and had lines of girls ready for their braids or whatever at camp. I still play hair, but now don’t think that’s all I want to do :o)

5. What did you do for your 16th birthday?
I had a party, at my house. I am amazed at these parties they have on MTV’s sweet 16! What’s up with that? I had a nice (special) party for Amanda, but nothing like those parties! Mine was (if I remember right) a make your own pizza bar, with the youth group from church and games outside like volleyball etc. Amanda is about to celebrate her 17th birthday! She has planned a really fun party… I’ll tell ya’ll about it later including pics of the invitations we made using hair spray bottles!

Fun questions! I’ve written five already or I would do it… I would probably do it again if I didn’t just hear Izzy (awake now) and ready for her breakfast! Happy Friday!

I ordered this ‘daily bread’ a while back from dayspring. After reading stories of people having these for 50 years and how much it was a part of their evening meal I thought it was really a special thing. We have already been enjoying reading a verse before our meal. Matt and I will pull a scripture out and leave it sideways in front for each other to look at.
Scripture for today:
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self–control. Against such things there is no law.” Galations 5:22-23

Thanks Sheryl for hosting faith lift fridays!
