A. and back. Call 360-676-RIDE (7433) and talk to our friendly customer service2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What can yo touch?
A. Three cameras, a Celtic Reflections on Hymns cd (thanks Kayleen!), a spiral notebook3. What was the last thing you watched on TV?
A. Probably Emeril, but I don't watch much TV so it's hard to say.4. Without looking guess the time.
A. 10:00 a.m.5. Now look at the clock. What time is it exactly?
A. 11:26 a.m. (I guess that explains A LOT!)6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
A. The dryer running and a Yo Yo Ma cd faintly wafting in from the other room.7. When did you last step outside? What did you do?
A. I came into the house after my dad dropped me off after we had both gone to the chiropractor.8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at?
A. The comments on my last post.9. What are you wearing?
A. A black T-shirt, jeans, and white socks with red polka-dots.10. Did you dream last night?
A. Yes, I dream every night for what seems to be the entire night. I can usually remember most of my dreams, but I was so tired this morning that they all just sort of vanished into thin air when I opened my eyes.11. When did you last laugh?
A. I started laughing after typing in my answer to #5 and I continued laughing until Natasha came in and I told her about my answer. That was when she noticed that I had originally typed 11:26 p.m. instead of a.m. (I've changed that now) and I started howling so all the kids came running in to see what was so funny. Anyway, I have finally maintained my composure once again and can actually breathe. Oh! That felt good!12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
A. A Norman Rockwell calendar, a cheery heart-shaped arrangement that I bought at a garage sale for a quarter (seriously!), a curio shelf, a sconce with a candle, a couple of pictures of baskets full of flowers, and some metal ivy plaques.13. Seen anything weird lately?
A. It was snowing this morning. After that it hailed. This is April 2nd, mind you!14. What do you think of this quiz?
A. Hmmm...let me get back to you on that.15. What was the last film or video that you saw?
A. The Forgotten. Very bizarre. Would never watch again.16. If you became a millionaire overnight, what would you buy?
A. I would use some of the money to remodel our house so that my parents could move in with us, set aside some for each of the kids so that they could have downpayments on their own homes when the time came, and I would give the rest to our church.17. Tell me something I don't already know about you.
A. I become an extremely selfish person when there are Reese's peanut butter cups in my possession.18. If you could change one thing about the world, without regards to religion or politics, what would it be.
A. I don't think that is possible. It seems like everything is related to religion or politics in one way or another.19. Do you like to dance?
A. Absolutely!20. Comment to George Bush?
A. I'm assuming this means George W.? "I am praying for you. Be a man of God's Word and look not to humans for approval."21. Imagine your first child was a girl. What would you name her?
A. I already did! Natasha Lee, although up to a week before she was born she was going to be Rachel Naomi. We were at a friend's house on Natasha's due date (Dec. 18th), looking through a baby name book, and discovered that 'Natasha' means 'Christmas child' and we decided we really liked that. When she made her appearance on Christmas Eve, it seemed all the more apropos.22. Imagine your first child was a boy. What would you name him?
A. Natasha would have in that case been Zachary James.23. Would you ever consider living abroad?
A. Traveling abroad; yes. Living abroad; no.24. What would you want God to say when you reached the Pearly Gates?

Alrighty, I'll be happy too!
It's really interesting, and kinda sad.
13. I had to brush 2" of the wet, gloppy stuff off my windows before leaving for work at 4 this morning, and I tossed my jacket in the back seat before leaving to come home at 1:15 -- it was 55F in South Park & a "partly sunny" 58F at 2 in Everett!
20. I've so far been mildly disappointed that no one appears to have noticed that *my* answer here was addressed to the other one.

Actually, judging from the color, I believe that Wallace & Gromit have it right: not Swiss, but Wensleydale!
Very nice Mom. Your right, The Forgotten was a weird movie
In the animated short film, "A Grand Day Out", Wallace and Gromit run out of cheese; so they build a rocket and fly to the moon to get more. When they get there, they discover that it's made of Wensleydale cheese!
That's a good idea. I'll do that in my next post
Your socks sound awesome.
It's funny that with the plethora of books in our house, the closest to you was the transit guide.
About Strawberry Season -- I am originally from Illinois, but I have been down here in LA for almost 14 years now (It doesn't feel that long), and I take for granted our mild seasons (which doesn't last long before we get into hot, humid and totally miserable.
). Sometimes I miss the snow, but when I am getting the children ready in the morning to take my eldest to K-5, and I get "frustrated" at having to put shoes and jackets on them, I think that it's good to be down here, and I could live without snow -- at least until the kids can dress themselves! 
Mom, could I have some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups? Pretty please?
Well, you never know. People's perceptions change over time, and so do their tastes and opinions.
It's quite possible you may change your mind about Princess Bride, too!
Elaine is the wife of the founder of Wycliffe Bible Translators, the missions organization that my family serves with. Have you heard of Cameron Townsend? He was a modern pioneer of missions. He died in the 1980's but his wife Elaine, who is 91, has been such an inspiration to our family and everybody in the family of Wycliffe and partnering organizations. She suffered a stroke a little over a year ago and now lives in a rehab center about 40 minutes away from my house. Within the past six months, my friend Sarah and I have been spending much time with her, just visiting, and also trying to glean as many memories and stories from her life as possible. Eventually we may end up writing a book about her. She is an immense encouragement to everybody she has met in her lifespan... I'd be happy to tell you more, but this is a long comment already! Thanks for asking! I love telling fellow believers about other wonderful fellow believers!
Have a great week!
Hehe, that was fun to read. I got chills when I read question 24.
Beautiful.
RYC: Thanks for your help
Yes, it has been quite a blessing to spend time with Elaine! Well, I'm disappointed about WCWC, too, but I am trying to be open to the Lord's will regarding my summer plans. I hope your family enjoys it!!
I will be at the breakfat. How about you?
I havn't seen the Forgotten yet but i've thaught too. I can fully use my fingers now so its feeling quite well for the time being. thnx

im so excited about this wedding of my friends! *smiles*...im actually not "in" the wedding..because our friendship just got rekindled after a year and a half of not talking to each other...so its too late for me to be in the wedding cuz its a month from today. but i get to get ready with the brides mades and be in the pictures and sit at the head table and help with the rest of the wedding plans and all that fun stuff. so im excited. actually what im really excited about is that this friend is back in my life. she grew up accross the street from me and we were best friends...and then she kinda fell of the face of the plannet a year and a half a ago and i hadnt heard from here since. and out of the blue she called me and wanted to get together and apoligized for some stuff....and well, we're friends again!
