ten: Qs and As
December 10, 2008
Time for some Q&A. My Qs, your As. Wait a minute…??? Never mind. Moving right along.
Here are ten questions. Feel free to answer one or all of them. Don’t think too hard—just write the first thing that pops into your brain. And you can give short answers or long, it’s entirely up to you.
Ready?
- Breakfast for dinner—yay or nay?
- What’s your favorite Christmas tradition?
- Do you prefer Starbucks or no-frills coffee shops?
- What’s your biggest hope for 2009?
- What’s your least favorite noise?
- What song best describes you today?
- What’s the oddest thing in view, right now, wherever you are?
- What are you praying most for yourself these days?
- What’s your favorite nickname (your own or someone else’s)?
- What’s one blog I should read that you don’t think I already am?
Breakfast for dinner

A) Way fun post. People love talking about themselves, myself included. ;)
B) Have I told you lately that I like you? Cuz I do.
C) Here goes!
1. Breakfast for dinner
1. I think we can have any thing for any meal as long as we keep to an overall healthy meal plan for the day.
2. My only Christmas season tradition is to visit each of my five nieces, the only family I have left.
3. I hope we can still be friends but I am a tea drinker. I have never been to a Starbucks (Gasp). It has been a few years since I have had a cup of coffee. When I worked there was a Dunkin Donuts shop nearby and I liked their coffee.
4. That the world’s economy won’t be as bad as predicted and fewer workers will lose their jobs and homes than expected. I would hope for less violence and war in the world but that is a dream not a hope.
5. A baby crying.
6. Wonder – Natalie Merchant
7. My ceramic Buddha with a Santa’s cap on it’s head.
8. I don’t pray but I do wish, and need, to continue to work on learning how to be less self centered. Outside of working to improve myself I have everything I need in life right now. There is a lot of stuff I want, but can easily live without.
9. I would pick “stud” for myself but that is unfortunately only in my dreams. Of the nicknames I have seen this year Mandypants has a certain ring to it.
10. I think I have seen your comments on all the Christian blogs I read. You like to read so you might find the Arts and Letters Daily site useful, three w’s dot aldaily dot com. They cull book reviews from many sources,
Noise – Ice crunching. This included crunching ice cubes, biting popsicles (getting chills), scraping ice off a car, etc. …
moving on …
Yeah … I think you read more blogs than all of us put together. So I think you’ve got all of our corners canvassed. :)
LOVE IT:
1. NAY
2. Lying directly under the Christmas tree at night with just the christmas lights twinkling. Beautiful.
3. Neither- don’t do coffee :)
4. You’ll have to wait & see…
5. Noise- squeaky, scrathy noises on a chalk board!
6. New Life Worship “Here in Your presence- we are undone.”
7. Pretty snowflakes falling over my computer screen, when here in SA its boiling HOT!
8. For the fulfillment of God’s promises in my family’s lives.
9. Monie – thats me :)
10. No idea- yours is pretty much the only blog I’m addicted too!
Love you Friend
1. Breakfast – BIG YAY, mostly protein shakes.
2. Favorite Christmas tradition: Opening one gift on Christmas Eve after church.
3. Even though I don’t drink coffee, my husband always laughs at how I just like the IDEA of coffee shops. I’d have to say I’d like a small, no-name place better.
4. My biggest hope for 2009 is to go to the next level with God, and to be fearless in that.
5. My least favorite noise is kids and babies screaming.
6. What song best describes me today? Funny, I’m thinking of an old song from the New Micky Mouse Club: “Surprise Day – Anything Can Happen (And It Usually Does)”
7. Oddest thing in view is a Joan Rivers beauty product I got in the mail from QVC yesterday. :p
8. I’m praying a lot about taking my thoughts captive to the obedience of Christ.
9. Friends used to call me “Spaz,” or “Spazmaria,” based on my maiden name, Santamaria. There are names my husband has for me I really love, but can’t share those. :)
10. A blog I think YOU should read that you aren’t already? Hmmm… how about http://www.videofitness.com to get you more inspired about exercise!!!
I love questions like this!!!!
Oops, just realized the last one isn’t a blog….. Can’t think of any, yours is just about the only one I read. ;p
