MEME

OK, I got this one from my friend Megan.

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? -Y es, my mother named me after "Gene Kelly" the famous dancer. My father always swore I was named after "Kelly Springfield Tire Company" which was a local business in the town where we lived. :) I don't know where they got the middle name, Christina. But I like it - it means "Of Christ".

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? - Today.

DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?- Yes.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? -Boar's Head Pesto Parmesan Ham, but I don't "do" lunch meat much.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS? - Yes - 5 of them. They rock!

IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? - Yes, I think so. Unless I got on my nerves. :)

DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? - Yes, unfortunately. And now my 8 year old is doing it.

DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?- Nope, haven't seen them since 1974. Boy was I mad at my mom when she let them take them out too. She still talks about it!

WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?- No. When I feel like living dangerously, I prefer to take my 5 young children out in public when they have skipped lunch and missed their naps.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?- oatmeal and/or grits if you count hot cereal.

DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? - No. But I prefer to be barefoot to start with.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? - Yes. God took the "That which does not kill us makes us stronger" thing really seriously when He created me.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? - I don't really like ice cream. I'm a total freak, I do know that.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? - Their eyes and whether they smile.

RED OR PINK?- Pretty much red, but after having 4 daughters pink is growing on me.

WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?- I am impatient and I have a very bad temper when I finally lose it. It takes a lot, but I go completely wacko when I do lose it. I also suffer from a lack of humility.... but I guess I wasn't supposed to make a list on this question was I? So many faults to choose from ... LOL!

WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? - My Grandma Maureen.

WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? - blue jean capris and no shoes. I really don't like shoes .

WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?- chicken fingers and french fries from BBQ Street.

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?- Blessed silence. My children are all sleeping.

IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?- Sunny yellow

FAVORITE SMELLS?- My children's hair when it is clean, my newborns, a newly baptized baby's head, lavender, pumpkin bread, bread baking, and garlic when it is being cooked up in something delicious.

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?- my friend Cyndi.

FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?- I do not like to watch sports, but I am learning to love soccer when my own kids are playing.

HAIR COLOR?- Dark brown

EYE COLOR? - Greenish

DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? - Nope

FAVORITE FOOD? - Anything someone else makes for us to eat when things are bad and we need help - nothing tastes as good as something someone made out of love just for you. BBQ from BBQ Street or Mellow Mushroom pizza. Or chicken soup from a really good Mexican restaurant.

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? - Happy Endings. I hate scary movies in the "horror genre" sense of the word.

LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?- I don't remember. Oh yeah - some movie about a guy who was living out a book as the author was writing it... I can't remember the name of it but it was surprisingly really good.

WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?- Khaki.

SUMMER OR WINTER? - I'm a Fall/Spring kind of girl personally. Fall is my favorite season of all.

HUGS OR KISSES?- Both. Life is too short to get picky! ;)

FAVORITE DESSERT?- home made chocolate chip cookies

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?- "Spiritual Progress" by Fr. Williams, "Preparing Sons to provide for a one income family" by Maxwell, and I just finished "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince" today - doing my second reading of that one in preparation for book 7 coming out in a few weeks. I can't wait!

WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?- I don't have a mouse pad.

WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON T.V. LAST NIGHT?- Survivor Thailand.

FAVORITE SOUND?- Baby belly laughs, my husband telling me he really loves me, my children singing hymns to Jesus.

ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES?- Beatles I guess. I wouldn't listen to either. Can I pick Beethoven or Vivaldi? In that case, definitely Vivaldi. :)

WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? - Spain. I was an exchange student my senior year.

DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?- I am a woman of many talents. [I told you I lack humility!] . I am an especially good baker though, and that's a nice thing to be.

WHERE WERE YOU BORN?- Carrollton, GA.
