Questionnaire from a friend

What is one thing you wish you could do with your hair?
Have a personal hairdresser arrange it daily. Oh, ok, seriously. Red. I've gone a bit red before, but I want the nerve to do all-over, natural-looking, gorgeous red. And of course, not have to deal with roots.

Do you own a wall calendar?
I have a calendar covered in family pictures that my husband and I made and mass produced as family Christmas presents. We make one every year. This month has a pic of Dan as an early teen with a cute braces smile.

What was the most special present you ever received at Christmas before age 7 or 8?
God's gift of his Son, sent to this world to sacrifice Himself to pay for all the wrong we've done and can never atone for ourselves. God gave Jesus just for me and everyone else who accepts this gift.

What is your favorite view (Out of a particular window, from a tourist attraction, on top of a hill...)?
Looking down on a sleeping little girl.

Is there an instrument that you are particularly fond of?
I love listening to the cello and will always regret that I don't know how to play one. I do, however, still have my viola and play it occasionally. But there's something about the cello that makes me close my eyes and just listen. I adored the opening theme to Angel.

What's your favorite kind of cookie?
Chocolate chocolate-chip, slightly warmed

What did you have for dinner last night?
Chicken Bruschetta Bake. It was a recipe I got from a magazine, and I really disliked it. Won't be seeing it on our table again.

What was the last song you listened to?
You're In Love by Wilson Phillips

What was the last movie you watched?
Ghostrider. I have only one comment. Run and run fast.

What was the last T.V. program you watched?
If we're talking as-it's-broadcast, the only show I've seen in the last 6 months was CSI: Las Vegas. I got to watch it on vacation in Florida last month.

When will be the next vacation?
May, I think. But I don't really want to go then. We just got back from a Disney World vacation with our kids (we had a blast). This summer we plan to vacation with my in-laws, and they want to go in May. But I'd really prefer to spread out the vacations. You know, wait until July or August or something. Not to mention their plans call for us to miss Rebecca's kindergarten graduation. Now, I know that doesn't seem like a big deal, but somehow the thought of missing it really upsets me. Sentimental mommy, I guess.

What's the last thing you said out loud?
"No, I'm not going to kiss you!" (Amazingly, that is really what I just said. Dan has a sore throat.)

What do you want to be when you grow up?
I really can't decide. I already wear so many hats, and I'm not sure any of them would really be my _dream_.

Best part about today?
Sitting on the couch and reading a Calvin & Hobbes book with Dan and both girls. (It was the girls' introduction to the comic, and they loved it!)

Do you like llamas?
Sure. Their name is cool.
