FMM: Quick Questions

What are your plans for Independence Day? I plan on spending the day with my family (nothing new there).  We are planning to grill outside until it gets dark and then shoot off fireworks.  We may go to a couple of parades that are happening around the Sound, and there is a car show I’d like to check out.  But, in general, I believe we’re just going to wait-and-see.

What is the last thing interesting thing you drank? There are essentially three things that I drink… water, Simply Lemonade, and caffeine-free diet Coke.  That is about as interesting as I get… Well, I did take a sip of a Wild Cherry Icee the other day.

Share one of your favorite quotes. “Your DNA must cry itself to sleep at night.”

Name someone or something that makes you smile.  Dawn – my sister.  She can make me smile every time.  And most times, she can make me laugh too.

What will you/did you eat for lunch today?  I will eat a green salad for lunch.  I’ve been eating green salads for the past few days, and I will probably have it for lunch for the next few days.

What’s the last movie that you watched and enjoyed?  In the theater or at home?  In the theater, it has to be the last Harry Potter movie (though I thought Voldemort’s death was a bit too easy for someone who has been such a plague).  At home, that would be “Sherlock Holmes:  Game of Shadows.”

Share something sweet and unexpected that someone did for you recently. Hmmmm… That’s a good question.  I would say a friend of mine bought me salt and pepper shakers that are shaped like Fred Flintstone and Dino.  It was totally unexpected.  I think she did it because I had mentioned that my little family likes fun salt and pepper shakers (we don’t collect) and that the Flintstones were a big part of my childhood.

If you could spend ten days on vacation anywhere in the world, where would you go?  I want to take my family to New Zealand, but 10 days won’t be enough time.  I also want to take them to Europe, but 10 days won’t be enough time there either.  So, I would say I’d take them to England.  Normally we’d be going to London, but with all the bru-haha over the Olympics – I would avoid London.  I think we would go to Cornwall.  Or, head north to Scotland.  That way I could visit Lisa-Marie, check out Edinburgh, and take a lot of photographs.

What are you currently reading?  Nothing – unless you count the countless articles I’ve been reading to prepare for the big retreat I’m co-presenting the end of the month.  It is a doosy – with people coming from all over the country.

Share at least one thing that you’re looking forward to this week.  I’m looking forward to grilling in the backyard, turkey sliders, and fireworks.

Now it’s time to roll up your sleeves and into Friend Makin’ Monday!  Post your own responses to the questions, and then head over to All the Weigh to post a link to your blog.  And don’t forget to check out some of the other bloggers who are participating as well.
