oh this was so fun to read dina head! as i read it i would remember things like your love for cocoa dino-bites :), your beastly muscles (yeah, i'm fragile), you liking the smell of leaves burning (except the potency of the smell when i took you to the airport in the jeep), how you are glued to the tv when basketball is on...which is good since the bears broke my heart yesterday, how you don't like scary movies and we would wait for the other to come home if we were scared...too funny. i probably won't fill this out, but i love you heaps and heaps and a pot of warm rice crispy treats (which totally should have made your favorite dessert list ;)...ha ha...m.e.
YAY! I'm so glad you did the questions! I'm totally proud of your working out and getting "pumped" up muscles ;) You rock!! I read that book too....very helpful so I'm glad you're reading it....it has a journal that goes with it if you like to fill those out. Hope you had a Happy Thanksgiving :)
Hey we match on 18 out 50 questions...I feel so privileged to be almost half as cool as you. :)
enjoyed reading your answers...love the one about "your kids", when I was teaching I told someone my kids started school already and they asked how many I had...so I told them 19 and the look of confusion was priceless!
I'll be brushing up on my Beatle and Rolling Stones!! Next time you see me I'll be a rock'n and a roll'n HAHA
