6 Question Meme - following Michelle

If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be?
potatoes (sorry Michelle, that’s what I had in mind before I even got to your answer :)

What’s the most nerve-wracking “close call” you’ve ever had?
This doesn’t directly involve me but the one thing that still give me eebie-jeebies when I think about it was the Sunday night we were getting ready to send everyone off to bed. We had hosted a fellowship but the girl’s were a tiny bit hungry so were having a cheese stick. I went into the bathroom and Tony stepped out of the kitchen for less than a minute to lock the back door. We heard screams coming from the kitchen and blood was gushing everywhere from somewhere around Janae’s eye. All we knew was that Kerrigan’s temper had gotten the best of her and she had thrown a knife at Janae. All we could envision was a stainless steel paring knife (very sharp) flying through the air. Tony was trying his best to sop up the blood to figure out where the wound was but couldn’t get the flow to slow. In the end we found out it was only a butter knife and it actually cut Janae up in her hairline. I still feel dumb that we called 9-1-1 but we were living 20 minutes from a hospital and felt very disconnected from the world after living in town for 4 years. When we had no clue what kind of injury we were dealing with and couldn’t get the blood to stop we figured that was our best bet. Oh well, I’m sure they’ve been called for dumber things…I HOPE!

Name five features your ultimate dream home would have:
• Easy to clean/maintain (flooring, walls, fixtures, ect)
• Spacious bedrooms including closets
• Rec/Entertainment room away from everything else
• BIG laundry room with front loaders or one washer and two dryers
• Lots of nooks and crannies for storage

Who has been the most influential non-relative in your life?
Wow, this is a hard one… I think I would have to say my friend Eleanor b/c she is older than me and more experienced with this thing called life. She is pretty level-headed and a lot like my husband.

What one non-physical feature would you most like to change about yourself?
To be more responsible

Name some things about you that people might find weird:
• I rarely burp…my stomach does weird growly, gurgly thing.
• I find patterns in everything (example #1: my mother-in-law’s siblings, oldest and youngest both have 3 boys and 1 girl and all their kids names start with the same letter (T for the oldest and D for the youngest), next oldest and next youngest had all boys when I came into the family, (my in-laws blew that pattern when they adopted a daughter a few years ago :) and the middle child is the only son who has 7 children. ) (example #2: we were pregnant at the same time as Tony’s best friend from college and his sister. When we had our babies they came in A-B-C order-not planned. The first one was Alicia; 19 days later, our Britnee was born and she weighed 9 ounces more than Alicia; Courtney came 19 days after that and she weighed 9 ounces more than Britnee) Only my brain would take the time to figure that out.
• I count the number of strokes on each side when putting on deodorant or brushing my teeth. Everything has to be balanced.

Now it's your turn :) Below are the questions so you can copy and paste. I had issues when I took it off Michelle's blog and had to type out all the questions myself. Poor li'l me!
