Random Dozen............Happy Birthday

Monday was Linda's birthday so she asked everyone else to come up with the questions for this week.  Honestly I don't know how she comes up with questions every week without repeating some she has asked before.
I couldn't believe it when I saw that she had included my question in the dozen.



1. From "Men Are Dumb ....": If you had a theme song that played whenever you walked into a room full of people, what would it be?
The only song that keeps coming to mind is You Are So Beautiful.  Because everyone needs to know just how special they are.
2. From Pam of "Alert And Oriented x 4": Which of your shoes are your absolute favorite, and which are of the object of your most painful shoe-buyer's remorse?
My favorite no doubt are my flip-flops.    I have a pair of closed toed black heels, they look great.  But they hurt so bad I can't wear them.

3. From Susanne of "Living to Tell the Story": Tell about your favorite birthday celebration that you've personally experienced.
None of my birthdays stand out more so than others.  They have all been with family, especially since I've had kids.  Last year we surprised my Mom and all showed up at her house with lunch already cooked for her birthday.  That was alot of fun.  This year we celebrated her birthday but it wasn't a surprise to her that it was going to happen.  She's not big on surprises.
4. From Lori of "Just me and My Life": If you were a flavor of ice cream, which would you be?
Definitely something with chocolate in it, no doubt.  My favorite lately is Cookies N Cream.
5. Cindy Swanson of "Notes in the Key of Life" asks: Have you ever had a crush on a movie star? Who was it, and are you still crushing?
I can't say that I have.  I admire some for their morals and values, but can't say I had a crush on any.
6. Jill from "Jill Boyd's Place" inquires: Glasses or braces--if you had to wear one, which would it be?
I have worn glasses in the past but now wear contact lenses.  Fortunately I never had to wear braces.
7. Nel from "Fasteneau Facts" asks: If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
That's a hard one because where we live now were close to most of our family.  All is within driving distance of a few hours.  And amazingly all of my siblings but one live in GA.  Well two if you count the one that has already went on to Heaven.

8. Thena from "Patiently Waiting" wants to know: If money were no obstacle, what would be the perfect birthday gift to receive?
I can't believe I came up with this and then find it hard to think of an answer.  I'm not a materialistic person at all.  I would love to travel, at first I thought maybe a cruise, because I've never been on one.  But what would really be fun is just to travel through all 50 states. 

9. From "Life Through Bifocals," LynnMarie asks: What is your favorite birthday meal?
Birthday or not I could eat pizza almost everyday and never get tired of it.  But for a special occasion a low country boil would be great.
10. Debby at "Just Breathe" checks in with: Do you still send hand-written thank you notes?
If there's an occasion for a thank you note, yes I would hand write, and make it personal, not just a generic thank you.
11. Linda from "Mocha with Linda" poses this question: What is something you've done that you never thought you'd do?
Wow!!   My mind keeps drawing a blank on this one. Even after reading some of ya'lls answers.  I guess it would have to be going through a divorce.  I believe a marriage is forever, permanent.  But my first husband decided after 17 years and 3 kids that he wanted out. 

12. Jewel, my home girl from Indiana who writes at "Musings from the World of Jewel," is very insistent that we answer this: Mount Rushmore honors four US Presidents: Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Roosevelt. If you could add any person to Mount Rushmore, who would you add and why?  I cheated on this one and looked at other's answers.  I agree Ronald Reagan would be a good one to add.

Then Sings My Soul Saturday..............Our God is Greater

If you haven't entered my giveaway, please do so.  Deadline is Monday.

It's been almost two weeks since Chris got out of the hospital.  He is doing so good.  I talked to the nurse at the clinic in Macon last Monday where he has to go for a follow-up, this week.  She said if he was doing good with the Popsicle's without any coughing, then start adding more soft foods slowly.  So this week we have added pudding, ice cream, grits, scrambled eggs, and mashed potatoes.  She said like a baby if that doesn't make him cough then add other foods.  If he coughs then cut back but take everything slow.  He wants a steak so bad but I told him there was no way we were trying that yet.
He goes back to the throat specialist Wednesday for a swallowing test and speech therapist so we will see how it goes.

Now for some great music, join Amy and all the others over at Signs, Miracles, and Wonders.

Megan the Photographer

It's been a while since I blogged about Megan.  Probably not since she had Emily and that's almost 19 months ago.   WOW!!  That made me realize I haven't posted any new pictures on here lately either.
Anyways Megan has decided to go into the photography business.  So if you will go check out her new photography website.  We all remember what it was like just starting out on a new venture.  So go show her some love.
I may be just a little bias because I'm her Mom, but I think she takes wonderful pictures, and has a lot of potential.

Don't forget about my current giveaway ending Monday.

Out of this world Random Dozen

This were strange or out of this world more so than others.  But to join in as always link up over at Linda's.

Also don't forget about my giveaway.  Deadline is Monday.

1. Do you believe, somewhere deep inside, that blondes do indeed have more fun? That they are "dumber" than brunettes or redheads? Be honest!

I'm blonde and sometimes can be pretty ditzy, wouldn't say dumb.  But I know brunettes and redheads that can be just as much if not more ditzy.
2. Which animal would you most like to observe in its wild habitat?
As long as it wouldn't attack me, I think a bear may be interesting to watch.

3. This week the U.N. announced that Dr. Mazlan Othman has been appointed the official "Alien Ambassador," should any extraterrestrials contact us. Have you, or has anyone you know, ever seen a UFO?
Nope, no UFO sightings here.

4. Name your favorite Hitchcock film.
Has he made a chick flick?  Can't say I have one then.

5. Would you rather spend time at the library, the mall, a craft store or home?
I love to read, and I can spend an hour or two sometimes at the library.  Just looking at books randomly to see if they may be interesting to read.

6. Which Disney princess is your favorite? (Or Disney character, if you are a guy)
Cinderella is the first one that comes to mind. 

7. What kind of art is your favorite?
My kid's art.  You know the ones that fill up space on the refrigerator.

8. How do you feel about viral videos, that is, videos made by amateurs that end up on Youtube receiving thousands of hits?
I don't search them to watch them.  But if one of the kids have one they want me to see I will watch it with them.

9. Where do you buy your jeans?
I mostly shop at Cato's/

10. Tell me about your first automobile accident.
Fortunately it was a fender bender.  I was leaving work and backed into another car.

11. Have you ever been honest when you knew you would benefit more if you would be dishonest?
Probably so because I always try to be honest.

12. If you were appointed "Ambassador to Aliens," what would you show and tell first about life on Earth? What would be the most difficult thing to explain?
Aliens as in outer space or illegal aliens.  hehehe  Illegal aliens I would show them their way back to their home country.  But I suppose were talking outer space.  All I can keep thinking is ET so I guess a phone.
