i was reading joanna's blog and realized that i have been tagged! :)

1. Grab the book nearest you, turn to page 18, line 4? ops.... ha ha... pg 18 has no words - it is a fashion magazine! oh wait... if only real books count then: "A staple gun makes short work of small household repairs. For example, to repair a screen that has been pulled out of its wood frame, staple the screen..." 2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What can you touch? thomas' bitty baby toy wagon, thomas' favorite tree, camcorder, william's ancient agfa scanner, my Bible from high school, m&m's candy dispenser 3. What's the last thing you watched on TV? 9/11 memorial 6. Except for the computer what can you hear? the clock ticking on the computer desk and thomas fussing as he goes down to take a nap with william 7. When did you last step outside and what were you doing? checking the mailbox with thomas (yes my life is so very interesting) 8. Before you started this survey what were you doing? checking email, reading blogs 10. Did you dream last night? that william and i were trick-or-treating, but we looked like we were in high school. then as we were running down a street, we became part of a group of renegades trying to escape a compound. but these evil guys called the lords of war had been called in to help the bad guys recapture us. so i was hiding under a desk in one of the rooms and was discovered! (no idea why i am always hiding in desks. too many movies in my head...). they assigned an amazonian woman to keep an eye on me but for some reason i had an icee cold big gulp in my hand and remembered that her species (maybe they were aliens???) was deadly allergic to ice. i tricked her into drinking it and she started dying, but somehow the sound was vaguely familiar. i woke up and turns out thomas was doing his bird calls (or rather shrieks) from the kitchen and that was the sound of her dying. :) 11. When did you last laugh? an hour ago when thomas strained backwards in my arms to see what william was doing. i could see every single booger in his nose as well as the palette of his mouth and the two teeth that have popped through the bottom row 12. What's on the walls in the room you're in? a copy of matisse's "Les Oiseaux", a modern wall clock, random smaller framed prints, old Casablanca promo print, small cork board with so much stuff on it that you can barely see the cork 13. Seen anything weird? not that i can remember. unless my dream counts 14. What do you think of this quiz? am i done yet?! (same as joanna) these are kinda silly. don't keep reading please... unless you are reeeeeally bored. this is taking me a long time. i had to take a break... i took three breaks while filling this out 15. Last film or video seen? "History of Violence" with Viggo Mortensen and Maria Bello. william and i just watched "Munich" tonight. it was excellent very heavy movie though. not something you want to watch for fun. 16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight what's the first thing you'd do? give money to the charities i have always wanted to support better (my church, world vision, doctor's without borders, smiletrain, UPC, the missionary couples we send money to). also i would love to set up an angel investment company. 17. Tell me something I don't know about yourself? i was an absolute compulsive liar from the 10th grade on, until college when i became Christian. 18. If you could change one thing about the world regardless of politics what would it be? i agree with joanna - cigarettes/cigars really suck. but if i had to choose one thing - i would give all babies a safe place to grow up. after having thomas, the idea of babies suffering makes both william and i heartsick. they are so innocent, pure and lovely and the thought of a baby in pain just makes me so sad. if i could do away with that, i would truly give my life. 19. Do you like to dance? yes i love dancing but most of the places where one would go to dance (i.e. clubs) tend to be full of leary guys and plus william doesn't like to dance. so now i dance with thomas in the den with mr. frog and curious george. 20. What comment would you like to make to George Bush? i believe in the republican party (of course, there is always room for improvement) but it would be nice if you could be a more transparent leader. I feel that would help win back the support you have lost in recent years. Oh also, please work on your extemporaneous speaking skills. :) 21. Your first child is a girl what do you name her? Rebecca 22. Your first child is a boy what do you name him? Thomas!! absolutely no regrets :) 23. Would you ever consider living abroad? no, the standard of living in the U.S. has spoiled me (cleanliness, easy access to almost anything, still many opportunities). 24. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gates? the same as joanna, Well done good and faithful servant. 25. Five people you want to do this quiz? I tag: regina, liz, audrey, debbie, cynthia... william, vijay...anyone that has some time on their hands. let me know if you fill it out!
