I was tagged by my friend Marie over at Parker People with this super fun survey. So here we gooooooo…….

Rule #1: the tagged person (me)  must write their answers on their blog and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves.

Rule #2: tag 4 people (consider yourself tagged if you own a blog!)   to do this quiz; they cannot refuse (ok, so nothing bad will happen if you don’t participate but I would love to see your answers). The tag-ee must state who tagged them and link back to their blog.

1. If you have pets, do you see them as merely animals or are they members of your family?  Milo is our dog right now.  He’s a member of our family.  He’s inside 99% of the day, he eats when we do, goes on vacation with us.  Yep, he’s family.

2. If you could have a dream come true, what would it be? My dream would be that they find a way to cure brain injuries so that the person is completely and 100% restored.  Same goes for spinal injuries.

3. What would you do with a billion dollars? Pay off debt, build a BIG  house, adopt a few kids, put the rest in savings (if there’s any left over) and live happily ever after.

4. What helps to pull you out of a bad mood? Quiet time does it all the time.  I just need to have time alone.

5. What is your best trait?  Personality-wise? I’m a very mellow and patient person.   Physically? I’m tall, so that’s helpful when I gain weight.  It’s not easy to notice the extra pounds!

6. If you are currently in a relationship, how did you meet your significant other? We met at a dance club back in our partying days.

7. What kind of books do you read?  I read all kinds…what I don’t read is sci-fi stories.  I get lost and bored with those types.

8. How do you see yourself in 10 years?  In ten years I see myself as a 51 year old woman (yikes! really? did I do the math correct on that one?  Wow.)  and I see myself married  (still to Rich, haha)  and I see myself pretty much doing the same things that I’m doing now.  I’ll still have many kids in the house.

9. What’s your all time favorite movie and quote a line from it.  I have WAY too many favorites to pick just one…but here goes:  The Grinch:  “Of course, when I say WE I mean YOU.”  I use this ALL THE TIME around here, like when I tell the kids, “Okay…after dinner we are all going to pick up the mess in the living room…..of course when I say WE I mean YOU.”

10. Would you give up all junk food for the rest of your life for the opportunity to see outer space?  No way, no way!  I have absolutely NO desire to go up in space.  I don’t even like to fly on airplanes, are you kidding me?  No way.

11. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up?   I lie in bed for a few minutes and think about what I have going on that day.

12. If you could change one thing about your significant other, what would it be?  I would change him into a more patient person.  

13. If you could pick a new name for yourself, what would it be?  I would not be able to pick between my FIVE most favorite girls’ names:  Audriana, Afton, Avery, Aislynn and Aria.  I would have to put the names in a hat and blindly choose.  I love those names, and the only other name I would want for myself would be one of those.

14. If you had to choose between six months of sun or six months of rain, what would you choose?  Although I love the rain, I would have to pick SUN for two reasons:  my kids would drive me completely crazy if they had to be indoors for 6 months, and my husband would drive me completely crazy if he couldn’t be outside doing things for six months.  No one in my family is a homebody like me.  Oh well.

15. If you could only eat one thing for the next 6 months, what would it be? A really well-made green salad with vinegarette dressing and blue cheese crumbles.

16. What is the thing you enjoy about blogging the most? I like that I can document our days in a fun and easy way.  I also like connecting with other bloggers.

17. Do you prefer salty or sweet foods?  I don’t know.  Just depends on my mood.

18. What items are in your purse right now?  my cell phone, my wallet, a few hair clips, a brush, crumbs of every kind, gum wrappers, my address book, pencils and pens

19. If you had to choose between vacationing at the beach or in the mountains where would you go? I’d choose the mountains because we are only ten minutes away from the beach– we see the beach all the time.

20. What do you watch on television that you know you shouldn’t?  I never watch tv — but sometimes when Rich is home we catch the news together, and I always know that I shouldn’t because the things I see on there make me so darn mad.

Okay.  Consider yourself tagged if you are reading this and you have a blog!
Is that you?  Okay then, so get busy!
