Getting to know you Wednesday

So in today's little comment bribe-fest I have a little multiple choice quizzie for you.

(Using the work quizzie reminds me of Mr. Seleski, my highschool math teacher, who, whenever he used that word had to point out that you could not add the same little cutsie ending to the word test without getting in trouble. But I digress.)

So off we go...

1) You're in the cereal aisle at the grocery store. You buy:

a) All bran. I'm all about fiber.

b) Frosted Flakes. They're GRRRRREAT!

c) Granola. Love me my granola. Especially on yogurt.

d) Pop-Tarts, baby!


2) You get a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble. You choose:

a) A new CD right off the 'what's new' rack. You're a slave to the top 40.

b) Coffee from the Starbucks shop. One a week for 6 weeks.

c) The last Harry Potter book.

d) Three books off the bargain book rack.


3) You wake up earlier than normal. You decide

a) to go for a nice long walk and get your exercise for the day over with.

b) you'll have to be sure to get a nap later. You simply can't get by on less than 8 hours.

c) to use the time to catch up on the blog reading you haven't had time for lately.

d) to start the laundry early, mop the kitchen floor and dust the entire house.


4) You're in the mood for a movie. You pull this oldie off your DVD shelf
:

a) The Mission

b) The Princess Bride

c) Shawshank Redemption

d) Four Weddings and a Funeral


5) Your favorite Brady kid was

a) Cindy. How cute were those pigtails?

b) Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!

c) Greg. He was hot.

d) Jan. I've always been a big supporter of the underdog.


6) You're headed to Baskin Robbins on a hot summer day. You can hardly wait to eat your

a) single scoop of vanilla in a bowl.

b) triple chocolate brownie in a chocolate dipped waffle cone.

c) chocolate chip mint in a sugar cone.

d) raspberry sorbet.


So there you go. Answer here in comments and tomorrow I'll choose one lucky winner to receive your very own copy of this wonderful CD.

Have at it, friends.

Smooches!

    Good Morning, Cathy
    1. Frosted Flakes, they are GREAAT
    Thurl Ravenscroft who did the voice of Tony was a great voice actor.

    3. I would read Kellywell and Thoughts and then check their blogrolls for other interesting things to read.
    4. Princess Bride, it stars Andre the Giant with a bunch of other people. Also I would rather laugh than cry.
    5.Marcia, Marcia, Marcia. She was hot then and still is.
    6. Chocolate Chip Mint in a sugar cone and I would buy an extra quart to take home and make grasshopper pie.

  2. 1.A-I don't know that I'm "ALL about fiber", but...every little bit helps!

    2. C-I reall am "all about the last Harry Potter book" right now, but normally it would be d.

    3. C-definitely C!!

    4. B- I guess. None of those choices would make my "purchase of movie" list, but...whatever.

    5. A-You can't buy a lisp like that!

    You do know that Ree just gave away a $200 gift certificate to William Sonoma on her blog, don't you?....Just sayin'.

    c) Granola. Love me my granola. Especially on yogurt.

    d) Pop-Tarts, baby!

    Can I put in an e? None of the above. I would buy natural peanut butter for peanut butter toast--my daily breakfast


    2) You get a $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble. You choose:

    a) A new CD right off the 'what's new' rack. You're a slave to the top 40.

    b) Coffee from the Starbucks shop. One a week for 6 weeks.

    c) The last Harry Potter book.

    d) Three books off the bargain book rack.

    I would buy C. Our whole family loves the Harry Potter books.


    3) You wake up earlier than normal. You decide

    a) to go for a nice long walk and get your exercise for the day over with.

    b) you'll have to be sure to get a nap later. You simply can't get by on less than 8 hours.

    c) to use the time to catch up on the blog reading you haven't had time for lately.

    d) to start the laundry early, mop the kitchen floor and dust the entire house.

    I would probably do d. There's nothing like a clean kitchen to start off the day.

    4) You're in the mood for a movie. You pull this oldie off your DVD shelf:

    a) The Mission

    b) The Princess Bride

    c) Shawshank Redemption

    d) Four Weddings and a Funeral

    If I had to choose, I would choose d, but even better choices for me would be "Enchanted April," "Pride and Prejudice," or "Room with a View." Ah, romance!


    5) Your favorite Brady kid was

    a) Cindy. How cute were those pigtails?

    b) Marsha, Marsha, Marsha!

    c) Greg. He was hot.

    d) Jan. I've always been a big supporter of the underdog.

    d. Jan was the first character that I remember who was a girl--who had glasses besides Mrs. Beazley on Family Affair--and she was a doll and didn't really count.

    6) You're headed to Baskin Robbins on a hot summer day. You can hardly wait to eat your

    a) single scoop of vanilla in a bowl.

    b) triple chocolate brownie in a chocolate dipped waffle cone.

    c) chocolate chip mint in a sugar cone.

    d) raspberry sorbet.

    C for this one. Mint is very cool on a hot day.

    Thanks for the quiz. I look forward to wed.

    1. Frosted Flakes now has a lower fat version. Less guilt?

    2. Books: cookbooks, perhaps a crossword puzzle book.

    3. Well, probably laundry and such; and then a nap in the afternoon!

    4. Just mentioned to my folks yesterday I need to watch The Mission again. Have never seen Shawshank but probably should.

    5. Jan. Underdog all the way.

    6. Must go with the chocolate: However, I would choose chocolate peanut butter. Yum.

    1. I am forever on a diet, so when I cheat, I make it a wothrwhile. I'd skip breakfast all together and go buy that big round chocolate cake from costco that costs $16, and a big gallon of whole milk.
    2. I would buy lots of decorating magazines
    3. d. because that's what I do every single morning at 6 am. it's a terrible habit.
    4.none, I hate wasting time on tv
    5. I liked Alice the most because the kids were all bratty.
    6. double pralines and cream in a waffle cone.

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse. You read ...

Phlumpyschlumpy.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.
