My sister posted this, courtesy of someone else, so I thought I’d do it too:
1. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING? 6:30am on weekdays, noon on the weekends
2. IF YOU COULD EAT LUNCH WITH ONE FAMOUS PERSON, WHO WOULD IT BE? Anderson Cooper, the CNN newsbroadcaster. Or Alan Titchmarsh from BBC America’s “Ground Force”.
3. GOLD OR SILVER? Silver
4. WHAT WAS THE LAST FILM YOU SAW AT THE CINEMA? Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets
5. FAVORITE TV SHOW? Buffy the Vampire Slayer, of course
somehow we’re missing #6

8. CAN YOU TOUCH YOUR NOSE WITH YOUR TONGUE? Nope
9. WHAT/WHO INSPIRES YOU? Wow…no idea. Alan Titchmarsh inspires me to garden, my neighbor Brandon inspires me with his songwriting, and various other people inspire me about other things. Like my sister said, good writing inspires me as well.

11. BEACH, CITY, or COUNTRY? Country
12. SUMMER OR WINTER? Winter
13. FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Anything with bits of chocolate chip cookie in it

22. FIZZY OR STILL WATER AS A DRINK? Still water – I HATE all carbonated drinks
23. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR BATHROOM? The one I use is blue with yellow accents, the one Denis uses is brown with green accents

Did you mean to say chocolate chip cookie DOUGH in your ice cream?
And I’m curious why you say Thursday is your favorite day…
BTW, If you want to know why no #6 – visit http://livelywriter.blogspot.com and find the post about the Monty Python Bruces skit.
Yes, I’d retire to Europe – either The Netherlands or Belgium.
And yes, I meant CCC Dough.
Thursday is the last hurdle before the weekend arrives.
