Quick (and a little late) Random Tuesday Fun

Because my sweet hubby just instant messaged me and asked oh-so-nicely where my post was today...

And because he actually typed in the words, "I live for your post"...

And because he then said that it was "a moment of happiness in my otherwise dreary day"...

And because it's kinda hard to say no to him...

I decided to take a few minutes away from trying to get my handouts done for my scrapbook class tonight at Scrapbook Mania (we had to reschedule last month's calendar class, so we're doing two layouts tonight--for both March and April--and I'm putting together some fun little tips on how to use flowers and rub-ons on your pages) and post a quick, but fun little Random Tuesday post.

I found these fun questions on one of the millions (or at least, 35 or 40) blogs I stalk on a regular basis!! Thought they were fun and also kinda revealing!! So, if you want to participate, you know the drill--put your answers in my comments section or let us know that you posted them on your own blog.

Here you go:

1. If you were to find out you were having boy/girl twins, what would you name them? (After you picked yourself up off the floor, that is!)

Good question! since I think all of you can tell that I really like cool, funky, unique names for my kids. I've actually thought about what I would name a fourth child if I ever had one (No, don't get excited!! No plans for that happening! I'm too old NOW!) . But, twins? That's a hard one. What if I just say that some of my favorite girl names right now include... Brenna, Everly (that's really what I wanted Sydney to be!!), Sadie, Austen, Loralei. Boy names are much harder, I think. Sydney was going to be Aiden Douglas Stuart (boys in my family have four names!), but I'd have to forego Aiden now (since it's like the #1 name in the country, and we couldn't have that!). So, not sure about the boys!

2. If money were no object, what kind of car would you drive?

Something fast and fun, and probably red!! Probably a convertible BMW Roadster! (I'd look SO good in that!)

3. The President called and he is coming to dinner. What will you cook for him?

Since he's from Texas, I'd probably whip up a mean Barbecue Brisket. And then I'd have to get him a little tipsy on some margaritas, just so I could get a few straight answers about some policy!

4. If you could eradicate a disease from this world, what would it be and why?

Sheesh...that's a pretty much impossible question! But I guess I'd have to go with cancer, because I have a really good friend of mine right now struggling with Level 4 Ovarian and it's just worn her out! But any cure's a good cure!

5. If you could be a participant on any reality show, what would it be?

Okay, out goes "American Idol" since I can't sing in a bucket! I'd like to say "Dancing with the Stars," because that would be the most fun and I love to dance, but again...my dancing ability is probably right up there with singing! (And I don't do sequins well!!) There's this fun like "Be the Next Food Network Star" that would be cool; I love to cook!! But, probably "Amazing Race" would get my vote because I'd get to travel all over the place (but..it really does like tiring and I'd probably be way too old for that!)

There you go, Gary!! You can't say I didn't do something for you today!! Love ya!

Join in the fun and give me some answers!

OH BOY!!! I love these questions. Your blog is so enlightening...I don't even have to go to all the blogs that you stalk...I'll just hang out at yours and get all fun quizzes :-).

Great quiz and great answers! Love the kids names!

Jeff said...

Hmmmm... good questiosns. Here you go.

1. If you were to find out you were having boy/girl twins, what would you name them? (After you picked yourself up off the floor, that is!): I don't think I'd name twins any different. I've got favorite names in both sexes. For boys it would be Zack and Simon. For girls it would be Sarah and Maria.

2. If money were no object, what kind of car would you drive? Something sporty. I don't know cars well. Like if I were going to buy a car right now it would be a Mini. I always loved the Mitdas too. It wouldn't have to cost a lot, but I'd want it to be reliable and zippy.

3. The President called and he is coming to dinner. What will you cook for him? Politics aside, I think it would have to be some good southern comfort foods. Chicken fried steak, mashed postatoes, gravy all the fixins. I'm thinking a very Paula Deen sort of meal.

4. If you could eradicate a disease from this world, what would it be and why? I would go with Cancer too. Wipe out all the different varitieis.

5. If you could be a participant on any reality show, what would it be? In terms of one I could have a chance at succeding at, it would be "Amazing Race" because it looks like fun and going around the world would be cool. In one that I would be a complete disaster at but would have a ball, "Dancing with the Stars" (could we alter the rules too so I could dance with Jonathan?)

1. Aiden Douglas Stuart Wray for the boy, we've talked about that one....

For the girl is a little harder. We've already had so many the good ones are taken... Brenna would be ok.. Since i'd have to go with you this time.. Sadie was my hunting dog, and if we did that I'd always be calling her like a dog.. Hear Sadie...

2. Dodge Supercab Truck

3. Definitely BBQ Brisket. We'd have beer to go with it though...

4. Cancer would have to go... Too much of it in my family... Prostate, Lung, etc...

5. The reality Show would be Survivor... I don't watch the show anymore but it would be up my alley...

Adrienne said...

1. I have no idea, but since I am a twin, the names would NOT rhyme lol...

3.Probably my favorite meal.....chicken, dressing, turnip greens, mac and cheese, and banana pudding. YUM. now I am STARVING!

Much Ado said...

As always great questions Cheryl....I agree totally with you on not picking a name because it is no.1 in the country! And I would definitely eradicate cancer too.

Robin Green said...

I'm glad you liked my questions!! Those were really great answers and I liked reading your commenters answers as well-- too funny about your husband and your post. It sounds a whole lot like my hubby--as you just read in my last post. They just might be related.
