long weekends are good for it.

Dear QotD?ers,

A 4 day weekend! I had one! I was able to spend some time with my family, including Saturday afternoon, just me and Mom. Justin and I spent all of today lazing around the house, playing games, watching movies and I even took a nap! mmm. nap.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What did you do for Memorial Day weekend?

Love,
The Asker

< watermellon ?

Dear QotD?ers,

I really am a much happier person when I get to sleep until 7:30. I took a day of vacation today so I could get some errands done (including a hair trim) and just enjoy some quiet, stress free alone time. I watched a movie, read a book, painted my nails, watched the last episode of Glee. It was a great day.

My most non-water beverage has been Dr. Pepper lately. I will admit that I don't drink as much water as I should.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What is more dissapointing than a bad watermellon?

Love,
The Asker

liquid to imbibe

Dear QotD?ers,

I forgot to mention yesterday that I saw two turtles trying to cross the road on the way to work, yesterday. Two different locations, and one was pretty big, possibly tortoisey! Then today I saw a field with a dozen horses. All but two were laying down. There are so many things to see when you aren't sleeping!

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What non-water beverage do you drink the most?

Love,
The Asker

moo.

Dear QotD?ers,

Our friends Bob and Angela stopped by for dinner and games tonight. We had a great time and I had forgotten how much I like bananagrams.
Justin is in a training course this week, so I have lost my carpool buddy this week. It's a little lonely and I don't get to nap or read on the commute. boo

I think Where's Waldo could make an amazing pop-up book.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

When do the cows come home?

POP UP

Dear QotD?ers,

I just finished watching the series finale of LOST. I won't spoil anything, but I will say that it was the most fantastic 'clip show' I've ever seen and I am happily satisfied with the ending.

I have a few favorite muppets: Grover (super and normal), Sweetums, Dr. Teeth, Robin. I've been thinking hard about who my least favorite muppet might be. I know a lot of you picked Miss Piggy, but she's not all that bad. Without her we wouldn't have Pigs in Space. I pick the fierys, from Labyrinth. They were really creepy and that's still my least favorite part of that movie.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What subject material would you choose for a fantastic pop-up book?

Love,
The Asker

Henson friends

Dear QotD?ers,

ANother day with not much to share. I am exceedingly clean right now and wish that blowdrying my hair didn't take so long.

Which are your most and least favorite Muppets?

LOBSTER STICKS TO MAGNET

Dear QotD?ers,

We watched yesterday's episode of Lost this evening and I was SUPER PUMPED when I saw the copper lobster mold that I own in a set. You would probably not even notice it unless you were me and had this thing in the room with you. MY LOBSTER WAS ON LOST!!

For field day, I had the most fun with the 3 legged race (because my partner and I won in 3rd grade!) and then that one time... there was a bubble gum station! It was about getting bubble gum and seeing who could blow the biggest bubble. That is some serious fun for an elementry school kid.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What decorative item from your house hold would you love to be part of your favorite show?

Love,
The Asker

I was on the red team. i had matching candy.

Dear QotD?ers,

Justin and I played a game over lunch today. It was fun and I look forward to tomorrow's rematch. I'm headed to bed pretty soon. Tomorrow evening will be full of dishwashing!

Most of my experience with zombies have been pretty fun. I only watch silly zombie movies or shows or games, since I'm not one to favor the gruesome. I have a little song I used to sing for my college roomate when she was playing a spooky computer game when zombies would reanimate from the floor and shuffle towards her slowly. ~clears her throat~ Zombies get up and do a happy dance! ~does a shuffly dance~ [repeat] Thank you, thank you.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What event would be your favorite for an elementry school field day?

Love,
The Asker

grr, arg.

Dear QotD?ers,

Look at what I captured this evening!:
see? see that little lightening bolt at the bottom? I didn't notice I even got that until I pulled it up on the computer.

I have shot lazer guns and water guns, and through marriage I've been able to shoot at .22, which is use for... shooting cans and pumpkins? that's my experience at least.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What are your thoughts on zombies?

Love,
The Asker

Jeopardy Format Week 1/5

Dear QotD?ers,

And so begins another week. Our original weekend plans were derailed by some unfortunate things at work. However, we were productive and also got to see Justin's parents on Mother's day.
I'm hoping this coming week will be much better. Only 4 work days and then some fantastic weekend guests!

At the request of a highly participatory QotD?ers, we are going to switch things up. I declare this week 'Jeopardy Format Week! Please, No Celebrities.' I will give you an answer, and you must craft a question to match it. I'm going to avoid straightforward fact answers, relying on oddball trivia about myself. So while there may be a 'correct' question, that doesn't mean it will be the most fun question. Oh! I'll have categories and points and Friday's question can be a Final Jeopardy round!

Dear QotD?ers,

Miss QotD? yesterday? We went to College Station last night for a Percussion Studio Show, staring MY BROTHER! And we didn't get home until midnight.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What is your favorite thing to do on long car trips?

Love,
The Asker

shadowy figures

Dear QotD?ers,

That was fun! Go ahead and look at yestesrday's comments to see the correct answer. Dr. Fandango was correct with the final question, but only because he built upon so many other good questions. Should we do this again some time?

A former boss went to Vegas this weekend and saw the Beatles themed Cirque du Soleil show. Because he's such a nice guy, he got me something from the gift store that I love in two ways: Novelty socks + The Beatles = Yellow Submarine socks. I'm wearing them today. I wore my yellow submarine t-shirt under my button down to match, though no-one but Justin knew.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What is your favorite or best hand shadow puppet?

TWENTY QUESTIONS! or so.

Dear QotD?ers,

I didn't answer the last question yesterday! oops. My favorite form of insect control is frogs and toads. I'm convinced that enough of those in our yard would save me from bugs and make spiders unnecesary.

This past saturday morning we ran errands: recycling center, bank, library (where my bag broke and spilled books all over the sidewalk! oh no!) and then to a furniture store to look at couches.

This evening we took a walk through the neighborhood. Justin wouldn't run through the sprinklers with me, what a bum! I'm sure there are at least 3 of you out there who would run through sprinklers with me :]

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Let's play 20 questions. I'm thinking of an object. What question will you ask to determine it's identity?

I'll try to answer the questions as frequently as able.

Love,
The Asker

i mean, besides eat cereal and watch cartoons

Dear QotD?ers,

This weekend my older brother Mike rode 150 miles in support of multiple sclerosis research. That is impressive and valiant! Good job, my favorite older brother!

In other news, we had an extremely productive weekend. Lots of cleaning, errands, some shopping, new games and a new recipe effort that didn't turn out as neat as we hoped.

Today's Question of the Day? is

What did you do this past Saturday morning?

Love,
The Asker
