8.15.2006 9:57 AM 11 2009 Melanie

Okay, Carrie tagged me, and like her, I'm a big fan of the surveys.

1. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE?
9:00am


2. IF YOU COULD EAT LUNCH WITH ONE FAMOUS PERSON WHO WOULD IT BE?
The only people I can think of are dead...but I guess my chances aren't that great anyway, so I'm going to pick CS Lewis.

White gold

4.WHAT WAS THE LAST FILM YOU SAW AT THE CINEMA?
Umm...Pirates of the Carribbean 2? Not too bad.

Iron Chef America, Gilmore Girls, That 70's Show, and Friends

Honey Bunches of Oats with Peaches, and 5 cups of coffee (completely serious) Unless it's Saturday, then I get bacon, eggs, toast, juice and 5 cups of coffee.

Ben Stiller

Rachelle

Beach or Country. I like the city in small doses

Fall. Best of both worlds. I love winter clothes and laying out in the sun.


13. FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
Ben and Jerry's Phish Food (Chocolate ice cream with caramel and marshmallow ribbons, and little chocolate fishies)

A Toyota FJ Cruiser

Olive Tapenade.

Fire and Ice Roses, tulips, and calla lillies


21. IF YOU HAD A BIG WIN IN THE LOTTERY, HOW LONG WOULD YOU WAIT TO TELL PEOPLE? Honestly? Probably a while. And then, I'd never tell anyone other than my closest family. I hate what money and jealousy do to relationships.

22. FIZZY OR STILL WATER AS A DRINK?
Fizzy water, like San Pelegrino and stuff. Nope, no thanks, just tap water works for me.


23. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR BATHROOM?
Black, Ivory and a rusty orange color


25. WHERE WOULD YOU RETIRE TO?
Vancouver Island. Anywhere there is fine, so long as it's a log home, with a barn for my horse.


26. CAN YOU JUGGLE?
Nope, and no desire to learn.


27. FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK?
Saturday, because of breakfast, and nothing to do but hang out with Peter


28. RED OR WHITE WINE?
I like both. I'm loving red more every time I drink it. For red, my favorite would have to be Wolf Blass Yellow Label Cabernet Sauvignon, and white is Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio. We did try a red the other night at a restaurant that was $75 a glass, and it was unbelievable. Yummy.

29. WHAT DID YOU DO FOR YOUR LAST BIRTHDAY?
Peter made me breakfast, and showered me with presents, and took me for dinner at a cool old restaurant, that some US Presidents have eaten at. But the one before, I was whisked away to Saltspring Island to a cabin on the beach, with a huge hot tub for just us. We went hiking, and out for a wonderful dinner, and then took the ferry to Victoria, where we got another great hotel room, had a romantic dinner at Il Terrazzo, and a walk along the inner harbour. Can you tell the difference between what there is to do for fun in Gillette, versus BC?

30. DO YOU CARRY A DONOR CARD?
No, but I'm registered as an organ donor, they can have everything but my skin and eyes, if I die.

31. WHO DO YOU LEAST EXPECT TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU?
Pass.

32. WHO IS THE PERSON YOU EXPECT TO SEND THIS BACK FIRST?
Pass


34. DID YOU NOTICE QUESTION 19 WAS MISSING?
Only because this was about the third time I've read this.

35. WHAT CD IS IN YOUR PLAYER RIGHT NOW?
A compilation of cool worship songs I found online, mostly hymns. The Mat Kearney CD, and maybe Lauren Hill?

And I'm tagging Peter because it's about time he blogged again, and Robyn.

  1. Melanie Says:

    For the record, we didn't pay that much for the wine. Our friend Eric knew the manager, and he sent over a sample of the wine for us to try. It was incredible.

  2. Unknown Says:

    Okay, I was about to say... Dude, you payed $75 for a glass of wine?! You nutball. Haha, Ben Stiller. That's awesome. And I agree, I think it is time that Peter blogged again. We're gonna have to keep on him. :)

  3. Unknown Says:

    Oh, and your favorite car is pretty sweet. Never heard of it. I like the color of that one.

  4. Claudia Says:

    Okay, I can really see you in that car. It screams your name lol

  5. Melanie Says:

    yes it does, and I'd want a yellow one, not blue, but they're so pretty. And I'm a fan of Toyota, so yep. Love it.

  6. Trav Says:

  7. Carol Says:

    That was on expensive glass of wine. Good thing they allowed you to try it. Not sure I would EVER pay that amount for a glass of wine, unless I had just won the lottery.

  8. Toad Says:

    I WOULD PAY THAT MUCH.

  9. Trav Says:
