All about Me 2008

I've been tagged with the 2008 version of "Getting to know you" a few times so I figure it's about time I get around to filling it out. Here goes nothing...

1. What time did you get up this morning? 7:30am to my tried and true, rarely fails, cute little "Hopers" alarm. It says "Mom, get me ceweal" over and over and the snooze button seems to be broken.
2. Diamonds or pearls? Diamonds baby!
3. What was the last movie you saw? Spiderman (it's the last 12 movies I have seen. It's Hopes latest movie obsession).
4. Where is the most beautiful place you've ever been? Cancun, hands down. I guess I should clarify. The ocean and beaches of Cancun.
5. What do you usually have for breakfast? Lately I have been all about hot chocolate and toast. I also do eggos, cream of wheat and cereal.
6. What is your favorite food? I love a good steak with A1 sauce, and any type of pasta.
7. What food do you dislike? Any and all types of fish.
8. What is your favorite CD lately? I love the Wicked soundtrack. It is one my girls and I all agree on.
9. What kind of car do you drive? A Toyota Sequoia (sp?)
10. Favorite sandwich? Hmmm...too many to narrow down
11. What characteristics do you despise? Just down right mean people

15. Favorite brand of clothing? No particular brand. Store...Charlotte Russe
16. Where would you retire? I can't see myself going too far.
17. What was your most memorable birthday? My 8th birthday. Besides the obvious baptism, and to make a LONG story short - We miraculously followed and retrieved a mylar balloon that
escaped. It ended up miles away and basically floated right down into our arms.
18. Favorite sport to watch? Basketball and dancing
19. Favorite saying? "Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful."
