I got this email from a friend the other day, and since I don't have anything new to post about "The Redheads", I thought I'd post this "getting to know you" questionnaire. Who knows, you might learn something about me you never knew!
1. Gone on a blind date: Yes, my very first date was a blind date
2. Skipped school: I think maybe once in high school my friend and I skipped out to go to the mall
3. Watched someone die: No
4. Been to Canada: No
5. Been to Mexico: No ... but I'm going on a Missions Trip to Costa Rica in a few months ... more on that to come!!
6. Been to Florida: Yes, just last month!
7. Been on a plane: Yes, but I prefer not to. I'm not a fan of flying! Turbulance scares me to death!
8. Ever had your heart broken: Yes ... it also hurts to be the one to do the breaking though!
9. Been on the opposite side of the country: Yes, I lived on the opposite side of the country - Germany - for 3 years!
10. Gone to Washington, DC: No, but I would love to!
11. Swam in the ocean: If you count going waist deep swimming in the ocean, then yes. Honestly, I'm too afraid of sharks and of being out of my depth to swim in the ocean.

17. Laughed until some kind of beverage came out of your nose: Yes
18. Written a letter to Santa Claus: Yes. I would leave a letter for Santa by the cookies and milk I left out on Christmas Eve and he always wrote back. It took me years to realize it was my dad's handwriting!

Those were some pretty random questions! So, did you learn anything new about me? Comment away! Well, the house is quiet so I think I'll go take a Sunday afternoon nap. I'm feeling pretty exhausted from staying up late too many nights watching the Olympics! I also ran 15 miles this week, but not all at once! A nap sounds pretty good right now! Until next time ...

That was fun to read! I love the pics of the girls on the sidebar...put them on your facebook! :)
I landed here through a search. You know, I always wanted to have red hair and green eyes. Two of my cabbage patch dolls had red hair and green eyes...back when my mom had to be on a wait list for them! Aloha!
Oh my goodness Lisa, you have GOT to share your potato recipe with me!
Those look amazing!
Steph, I wish I could claim the wonderful looking baked potatoes in the pic but I just found it on the flickr site. Mine are great but don't look quite like this pic. Sorry!
