Getting To Know You . . . .

So I know I have never even completed my "tag you are it" thing but I loved reading everyone elses . . . so in the spirit of that . . . I read this on someone else's blog and figured we could all pass this one around. Come on - at least since my main hobby is reading blogs this gives you all something to write for me to read :)

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Not my first name . . but my middle name (Marie) is the same as my Grandma's.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?Watching t.v. actually . . this is embarrassing but the Biggest Loser made me cry last week.
DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?no it is pretty bad - especially if I am not really making an effort. Mark jokes that it looks like a third grader wrote it (which he also says about my sister's handwriting :)
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?I'm a lunch meat snob actually. I can only eat Boar's Head deli meat - my o.r. is maple glazed turkey.
DO YOU HAVE KIDS?yes, 3, all boys, all cute. (I left Carrie's exact answer for this one)
IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?I can honestly say probably not - as my friends know - I am not a very good friend. ( I guess that might make me a good friend for myself though?)

DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?probably too much.
DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? yes.
WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?nope.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?This changes fairly regularly, but right now I love Fiber One Maple Flavor and Quaker Oats Squares (so good without milk)
DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? do flip flops ever come with laces ?
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?of course, I can hold 3 boys if I have to :-) (I left Carrie's answer for this one too - sadly I DO hold three boys sometimes)
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?Don't like ice cream - its not a healthy choice or anything - trust me I eat more than my share of baked goods.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? I'm actually horrible about "noticing" anything about people. I could never tell you what someone's hair looked like or what they had on.
RED OR PINK? red I guess, I hate pink - maybe that is why God saw fit to only give me boys
WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?I'm choosing not to bore you with a long list and lead myself into sin.
WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? My grandpa - I wish my boys could have known him. My grandma Kronwald - same reason.
WHAT COLOR SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?none
WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?an apple with apple dip - delicious!

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?Parker crying to get out of his crib - I just wanted to finish this first. - good mommy!
IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?I hate questions like this.
FAVORITE SMELLS? baking bread, my boys on my lap before bed
WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?my sister.
FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? FOOTBALL - love it :)
HAIR COLOR? brown
EYE COLOR?brown
DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?yep
FAVORITE FOOD? Basically I love to eat yummy things - but if I had to choose - I would say Mexican food. Other random favorites - English muffins from La Grande Orange in Phx, my sister's apple cake, plum jam from my mother-in-law, I could go on and on
SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?happy endings, for sure - don't do scarry movies!
LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?
Sadly, I watched "Down To You" in the middle of the night last night nursing.
WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?navy
SUMMER OR WINTER? in between (Spring or Fall) I hate to be REALLY hot but I also hate to be cold.
HUGS OR KISSES? I'd take either.

FAVORITE DESSERT?I like fruit things - my sister makes a great apple cake - I also love bread pudding.
WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?the Bible, specifically Exodus with my BSF study and Peacemakers. I also read a certain Dora book about 15 x/day and a myriad of truck books.
WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?I'm a lap top girl.
WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?I actually crashed after my boys fell asleep last night - but I did turn on Fox News when I was up to nurse the first time and then a cheesy high school movie when I was up later.
FAVORITE SOUND?sometimes music or boys playing - sometimes just quietness if lovely
ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES?My dad did everything in his power to instill a love for both but I would definitely choose Beatles if I had to listen to one or the other.

WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME???Is Italy or Hawaii further from AZ?
DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT? I can bathe, dress, bottle feed/nurse (respectively) and put to sleep three boys in about an hour. It feels like a marathon and always feels like an accomplishment - does that count?

WHERE WERE YOU BORN?Phoenix, AZ

Okay, so now everyone else has to copy this to their blog and put a link to it in the comments section…

I cried at biggest loser last week, too, but both of us can just blame it on the postpartum hormones, right?
