thanks, jill.

I love these things. Also, I don't feel like trying to think of anything else to write about.

Make a list of things you can see without getting up: I don't make lists. Ever.

Favorite football team: Cyclones. Lets be honest though...do I really care?

What are you wearing now? My plaid coat, jeans, turtle neck and slippers. It's cold outside and its colder in here!

What color is your bedroom? Brown, light purple and avacado green. Translation: all the best colors.

What’s the last thing you read/are currently reading? Well, the last thing I read was Jill's blog. Before that I was reading my bible. When I have free time, I have been reading Three Cups of Tea.

Do you nap a lot? Almost never. I hardly sleep.

Who was the last person you hugged? J. Trost after my Smells Fargo Lunch Tour.

What’s your current obsession/addiction? Bill Young messages about the Creation.

What was the last thing you said aloud? I chatted with the lady cashier at Hy-Vee Drugtown.

What Web sites do you always visit when you go online? NPR. I love the news.

What was the last thing you bought? Almond bark and tortilla chips.

What are you listening to right now? Bill Young.

What is something you wish you could do more? Handstands. It's just that I'm never doing enough handstands.

What gives you hope? The Lord....and my bank account [just kidding about the second one :)].

What is your favorite weather, and why? 90 degrees and sunny.

What time do you usually get up? 5:30a-5:45a.

If you could have a house–totally paid for, fully furnished–anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be? The Netherlands. How fun would that be?

Favorite vacation spot? My grandma's kitchen. She makes really good food.

What is your favorite children’s book? I really loved "Danny and the Dinosaur" when I was younger.

Name one thing you just can’t resist no matter how bad it is for you: Ice Cream. It's just so good. And pizza.

If you could meet anyone famous - dead or alive - who would it be? Johnny Cash. And then I'd bring him to church and ask him to share his testimony with everyone. He has a great testimony.

Have you ever met anyone famous? If so who? The band TOOL, Queen Latifa, Jared Leto, Mark McGrath and Cher [ I used to live in LA--Celebrities are all over that place].

Rudolph?

I just figured out how to upload pictures. Also, I never actually tried before so give me a break.

So, in honor of my new found wisdom, I give you Santa's favorite reindeer, a la Jill Trost.

winter weather.

I fully intend to write a strongly worded letter to Mother Nature about the cold we are having. It's just that I wasn't made for cold weather.
