Cheating

Ok, so you know that I love LOVE fill-in-the-blank Friday. Well, I just found this one that was before I discovered the little things we do blog...& it had good ones, so I'm doing it even though it's old & it's not even Friday.  And because it's 2:20 pm & I've barely left my bed & blogging just seems like the right thing to do.  My morning: sleep, catching up with my TV friends, curling up with a cute kitty, catching up with my bloggy friends, & now blogging.

1. The strangest thing I've ever eaten was probably something in Africa.  And the fact that I can't even tell you what means it was strange & I probably didn't know what it was.

2. My best friends are um...great.  There's not one word or even one sentence to describe them.  They're all so different & I love that about them.  They are a huge part of who I am.  They encourage me, challenge me, [attempt to] understand me, & most of all, love me for me. 

3. If I could live in a different era it would be the 1950s.  My life would be just like Happy Days.

4. I like meaningful conversations with new people.

5. If you only know one thing about me it should be that I love Jesus.  More than anything else in life, I hope this simple fact is something that I show every single day of my life.

6. My favorite book of all time is not just one but several [I'm not good at making decisions like this].  I love Karen Kingsbury, but I could never pick one book.  I love her books because I fall in love with the characters & they live through long series.  I LOVE To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee...it's been a favorite since middle school.  [And the movie is one of the few that is just as good as the book.]  Christy by Catherine Marshall is another of my all-time favorites.  I love the dialect of the people of Cutter Gap.  And I love Francine Rivers - Redeeming Love, of course, & And the Shofar Blew...hands down one of the best books I've ever read.  And there are probably some others that I'm forgetting...   

7. The one beauty product I couldn't live without is chap stick (does that count as beauty?)...ok, lip gloss or lipstick.  If I was stranded on an island or something I'd probably say mousse...no hairdryers or straighteners there.

8. Blogging is the person that I want to be.  Sometimes I feel like when I blog you see the best parts of me, the parts that I want to be all the time.

9. If I could star in a movie with any actor/actress I would want to work with Sandra Bullock.  I just love her & she's in most of my favorite movies.  Actor would be John Krasinski except I'd probably fall in love with him & he's engaged so, I'd turn down being in a movie with him for the sake of his marriage. 

10. One of the best feelings in the world is 1. having a day like today with nothing that I absolutely have to do.  2. rocking a baby to sleep.  3. lying in the sun with a good book, a breeze, & a popsicle.  4. knowing that you know what God is saying/where He is leading.  5. seeing someone understand a relationship with Jesus for the first time.  6. freshly-washed sheets.  7. sleep after a long day at the beach or the lake.
