Ten on Tuesday

Again, I stole this from Chelsea's blog.  Today’s questions come from Nora at Walking With Nora.

1. What are your thoughts on Valentine’s Day. Do you love it? Hate it?
I don't love it or hate it.  I guess I like it fine.  Dave and I have only had two Valentine's dates together.  For both, I picked a meal and make him cook it.  This year I got him a card, and he left me little post-it notes around the house.  It was perfect.

2. What is your favorite romantic comedy?
The Other Sister. 


3. Meg Ryan & John Mellencamp: what’s your first reaction?
"I like Meg with short hair.  I should probably google John Mellencamp."


4. All time favorite poem or quote? 
I'm not a very quote-y person, but I kind of like this one. "If at first you don't succeed, try reading the instructions." (I don't know who said it).

5. What’s the longest amount of time you’ve gone without sleep? (like consecutive hours).
Maybe 24 hours once in my life.  We're talking lock-in night at church in middle school.  I'm pretty much a granny.  The only other time I stayed up around 21 hours in a row was when the Astros were in the playoffs and the games kept going into 500 innings.

6. What color ink do you prefer to use?
It depends on my mood.  Blue/black for something where I have to look like an adult, but fun colors for things at home.

7. Share with us a blog that you recently found and fell in love with (and link us!)
I have a love/hate relationship with MckMama's blog.  Apparently, she's somewhat blog famous or something.  For some reason, she has followers and "haters," and it has been getting way too drama with commenters (which I didn't even know could happen).  Yet, I still find myself reading it everyday.  It might be a problem.


8. If you could be on a reality TV show which one would you choose?
The Amazing Race (with Dave).  Although, I'm not sure our marriage could handle it.  That, or Wipeout.

9. Mountains or Beach? 
Mountains.  For some reason I can't un-bold this answer. 


10. With the Oscars around the corner, what’s your pick for best picture?
I have only seen one of the nominated movies (The Social Network).  I did think it was really good, but I'll make my pick based on the movie I want to see the most out of all the nominees: The King's Speech.  I want to see it even though it's not at Redbox yet, and that's saying something.
