Concord Carpenter said...

that was fun!! Great post.

*uncorked said...

Oh you....I'll do this sometime this afternoon :) And you could never bore me. Our vodka-bond is so strong.

Carol said...

What fun. I often think my life is boring maybe not boring but constant. I loved your answers and I like some of the same things in each catagory. Thanks for sharing Giggle.

8 TV shows I watch

The Big Bang Theory [Sheldon is the best]
Project Runway [Tom Gunn future BFF]
Two and a half Men


I am so agreeing with you on those three!!! I LOVE Sheldon! I adore Sheldon.
As for Project Runway,.. reality whore confession,.. I am addicted and I don’t care for rehab.
Two and a half Men,… one of the best comedies ever.

I recently started watching Lie to Me,.. that short man with the accent,.. Just the accent. I can even overlook his little height problem. Ok, the series in a whole is just kicking awesome!

MiMi said...

Ha! Nothing else nothing else nothing else. That was funny.

Little Ms Blogger said...

Tetris is addicting, but I've replaced it with bejeweled on fb - thinking 1 minute game doesn't make think I'm wasting my time (2 hours later).

Very happy PR starts tonight.

Shelle-BlokThoughts said...

HA! where are my keys? Is something I say all the time also! hehehe

Cathy said...

Ok...I noticed both you and trac have grandkids on the wish list. Tsk Tsk. As someone who feels the pressure to supply grandkids for my own parents, I beg you to remove grandkids from your wish list. I know you wouldn't want your daughters to feel any pressure about such a big decision.

Well, now that that's off my chest...ahem...I really enjoyed your answers. Big Bang Theory is the funniest show on TV for sure!

Debbie said...

I truly love the list of things you say! I like a post like this - I get to know people much better.

"And so our stories go..." said...

I love lists like this. It's amazing how different people are. I'll do this on my blog in near future. Thanks.

gina said...

The Big Bang Theory is a much watch in our house- for myself, hubs, and my two oldest. That show is BRILLIANT! And F*ck is one of my most used words in real life, if I admit that on my blog- people might keel over. lol. But hey, I'll keep it real. Oh, boy. I 'm going to work on this now but I have posts set up to publish through Sunday, so I think mine will publish Monday.

Kate said...

Never seen True Blood but I think I might have to give in and watch it.

Working Mommy said...

Great lists! I especially like the 8 things you've learned!

Steven Anthony said...

what a great list, I always knew you were someone it would be fun to sit and have coffee talk with;)

true blood ROCKS!

Allyson said...

That was super-fun! I, as a KY girl, am sort of shocked that you're looking forward to an Indiana/Ohio trip but I'm sure it's for the company that you're going to see and not for the award-winning museums and 5-star restaurants. I'm about to start getting True Blood on Netflix. It's going to be an addiction, isn't it??

Monique-aka-Surferwife23 said...

I'm so flattered that you want to meet me. I'll book my flight right now. Pick me up at the airport at 6? Cool.

Shell said...

PR new season starts tonight! I heart Tim Gunn.

Erin said...

I am a True Blood/vampire fan, too! I found you over at Concord Carpenter, but I've been seeing you everywhere...I think we may run in similar circles. I'm your newest follower!

Joanne said...

Ok I will play along - lacking blog fodder myself so this is cool.

LOVE LOVE LOVE your answers -- hope I do as well.

Optimistic Pessimist said...

i heart true blood. that's what i'm looking forward to most this summer. sad but true.

Moooooog35 said...

Oh, man. You tagged me.

Does that mean I'm 'it?' Like, do I have to chase all these other bloggers around now? Because cardio isn't my thing and, honestly, I'm a little tired.

You may see an answer around mid-March because I'm scheduled for the next three months. But by then I'll forget so maybe I shouldn't have said anything.

Richard @ The Bewildered Brit said...

I'm delighted by the presence of SGU and Tetris on your list! :D

If you ever need tips on what's worth seeing in the UK, let me know. :)

Terry said...

Loved your answers, especially, drink a lot of water with martinis. Good advice.

Brian Miller said...

Brittany at Mommy Words said...

Oooh True Blood and Hung - I just love it. I wish all shows were so good. I laughed when I got to loving winter because I immediately thought I don't think I have eight things and then you ran out too. I also share all 8 of your frequently used words - though I avoid the f-word on my blog. But sometimes I f up in the comments. Have a great weekend!

Sandy said...

Okay, so now I feel like I know everything I need to!

Hey I love the blog. I've been looking for more information on Personal Trainers Redmond and I was wondering if you have any good tips or pointers? I'm getting ready to move and I need all the information I can get. Thanks!

Can I use some of the information from this post above if I provide a link back to this website?

Thanks,
