49. What time did you finish this quiz?
Afternoon
50. Coffee Drinker?
Um-Um good! The only thing I don't drink, straight shots of espresso.
Hey- I drive the exact same vehicle! Even down to the color. Which is becoming a joke. Before, we drove a '97 grand caravan, the boxier model. Also white. Then David bought a little truck. White. Van started overheating on long drives (not a good thing when going to Tillamook every other week), so we go to find something newer. The two that fit our budget are a 2001 Caravan and a 2005 Grand Caravan. Both white! The Caravan has less storage, but was also cheaper (a plus when a vehicle is necessary, not planned!)Also, Ship Inn, mmmmmmmmm. Took Rachel there for her birthday, I had also gone into labor with her while eating there, so it had meaning, which gives the perfect excuse to go there at least once a year!
ReplyDeleteYou and I have a lot of the same tastes! The one I kept snickering over was about the "tatoos" (haha)! That is exactly the same type of response I give when people start talking about getting one, "When you are old and saggy, what will your so called tatoo really look like? and do you really want to live with that- yuck". Thanks for the info.A couple of the ladies at church who know me made the comment- even though I am a really nice person, most people don't really know me. Really hard to get a conversation started to talk about your life and some intimate info. This is a cute start.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing some of the details of your life.
ReplyDelete@lindylou32 - I was thinking the same about you when I was reading what you put on your profile for xanga! I think maybe you're a bit shy, is why it's harder to get to know you. But I never had a problem getting to know you! I had one lady tell me once "Wow, you sure ask a lot of questions!" "That's how you get to know someone!"I repliedI don't like tatoos even on young bodies. I think they are a sign of rebellion. (Just my opinion!)
ReplyDeleteHey Betheelou - Coffee drinker here too, lol. I copied & pasted then answered the questions on my site, so now you'll have to go to my site & read the answers, lol *Wink* *Wink*. God Bless ~Gretchen~
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute! I especially love your tatoo answer! I'm with YOU, girl! I have been stretched and sagged a bit and can't imagine a hideous blackish bluish greenish bunch of ink going along with that! I might have to copy and paste this thing and do it on my blog. Love, GAil
