Name a car you’d love to have.

Describe your typical morning routine.

Early morning, awakened by Josiah, wanting to be changed, eat and play. I attempt to sleep with him crawling and poking me until Eila wakes up and joins us in the bed. Then, “It’s time to get up; it’s not time to sleep, Maman.” So, we get up and “go potty” and eat. From there each day is different, but usually involves some showering, getting dressed, whining and reprimanding.

Main Course
Have you ever emailed someone famous? If so, who, and what did you say to them? Did they reply?

No. Why? Do lots of people do this?

Dessert
Do you listen to podcasts? If so, which ones?

I’d like to listen to more. I enjoy “This American Life” and sometimes “Focus on the Family”

Appetizer
Tell about a time when you had to be brave.

A few months ago, we went to California to visit my sister and we did some mountain climbing. I couldn’t let my fear of heights get in the way…

Soup
Which upcoming movie are you excited about seeing?

None, really. I’m looking forward to Harry Potter and will probably go see Spiderman 3 with Brian this weekend.

Salad
Name an item you try to always have on hand.

Diapers. They are useful for more than the conventional usage (the cloth ones, at least.)
Main Course
Imagine the most relaxing room you can think of. Now describe it!

It’s a quiet, sun-filled room with a balcony and open doors, no bugs, but a gentle breeze. There’s a very comfy chair where I am reading a book or enjoying the view of the ocean.

Dessert
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being highest), how spiritual or religious are you?

I guess I’m a 9; I believe that all of life has spiritual basis or consequences, but I don’t like to think of myself as religious, ie. following a religion. Honestly, though, I do adhere to a religion, namely Evangelical Christianity.

Friday’s Feast is something I saw on another blog and it looked interesting. So I’ve decided to add this meme to my posting. At least, there will be one post a week (if I remember to do it…) I hope you enjoy it.
Appetizer
Name something you would not want to own.

I definitely would not want a spider or snake of any sort.

I’ll never forget the first time Brian held my hand.
Main Course
Which famous person would you like to be for one day? Why?

I’d like to be Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary General of the United Nations, because I think it might be interesting and a good way to make a large impact for good, for just one day.

Dessert

Sally tagged me, so here goes.

1. I was voted “Most Talkative” in Jr. High, but cannot think of anything to say to new people that I meet.
2. While being a bit of a perfectionist, my house is never clean. I hate sweeping and vacuuming, so I wait for Brian to do it… I also hate washing dishes, so I only do them as needed (usually about once a week).
3. I used to think that I didn’t like chocolate, but it’s just that I don’t like cheap chocolate (and that’s all my mother had ever given me – no offense, Mom.) I loathe M&Ms and Hershey’s bars, but like brownies and hot chocolate, and especially like Belgian truffles.
4. Recently, I am only interested in movies or TV shows that are extremely clean (rated PG or G) and happy. I really enjoy watching programs geared to young teenagers. I have enough stress and disappointment in life that I don’t want to watch someone else go through that too. I also do not feel any need to defile myself any more than I already do…
5. I am a tandem nursing mother. On rare occasions, I can be found breastfeeding two children at the same time. Usually though, they have to wait their turn.
6. I love being pregnant. Pregnancy agrees with me. My hair is thick and shiny. My skin is clear. I never need a coat (as I am a human furnace during pregnancy. I have a great excuse to eat and sleep whenever. The only drawbacks are limits on carbonated and alcoholic beverages and raw fish.

If you had one year and could do anything at all, what would you do? Where would you go?
