Q & A Post Number 1 : Easiest and Shortest

I got some very interesting questions! I'm somewhat categorizing them, and since I overslept this morning, and have lots to do during the kidlets nap time, I'm starting with the easiest ones first: (ahem)

From Amy:

Would it be okay if I sent you a REAL letter? I'm craving real letter writing lately!

Yes! I love getting mail!

How many brothers and sisters do you have? You grew up in a big family, right?

I am the oldest of 10 kids, I have 5 brothers and 4 sisters. (girl, 2 boys, girl, boy, 2 girls, boy, girl, boy) I'm the oldest and the "baby" (sorry Sam!) just turned 12. Starting with my sister Anna, they have all been "my" babies . I was 6 when she was born, and got to lug her around. We 3 oldest are all married, and my brother Dan and I and are the only ones with kids.

If yes ;), heehee, what was your favorite thing and your not so favorite thing?

One of my favorite things- always having babies around. Not so favorite- MASSIVE amounts of dishes to wash.

What is your favorite thing to drink?

I usually just drink water, but I do so love a really good cup of coffee, and also lemonade, the fancier, the better. None of that bottled/canned yellow slop that makes your mouth burn. Yuck.

What is your favorite book of ALL time?

I have a list that would stretch from here to Timbuktu (hmm, 'nother post idea...) but besides the Bible, A Tangled Web by Lucy Maude Montgomery. I read less and less fiction though, mostly how to stuff and craft books.

Am I being annoying yet?

Nope :0}

Are you done washing those stinkin' carpets yet?

Nope :0(

How'd you meet Rebecca? Online?

Yes, there used to be a blog called the Sparrows Nest, and Mrs. Wilt had a chatbox on the sidebar. Rebecca mentioned getting a hat at the thrift store and posted a link to it.

Here. I thought I commented but looking back, I didn't, but that's when I first found her blog and I've been stalk- er reading it ever since.

Have you guys met IRL? :D

We are scary alike, and no, we've never met. But I've been scheming how we could. Nothing workable has come to mind.

From Elisha (who I DO know in real life and grew up with, and miss dreadfully!):

What is your favorite thing to bake?

That depends on the day. Some days its cookies, some pie, some bread.

Least fav to cook?

Pretty much anything on the George Foreman grill. I hate, loathe, despise, and abominate cleaning that stupid thing. B. loves it and calls it Gods gift to bachelors, at which point I remind him he is married and that thing is nothing but trouble. He KNOWS I love him if I use it.

That's is for today, dishes must be done and tidying up.

Oh, and Newmom, I did get your email, I'll answer when I get to that post! Unless you want me to email you back, which is fine too, just let me know!
