The James Lipton meme

Trish tagged me for this fun meme!

What is your favorite word?  luscious. 

What is your least favorite word? scrumptious.  I know it’s supposed to mean something tastes good, but just hearing it makes me just irritable!

What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally? my children.  Everything I do, is for them.

What turns you off? people who abuse children.  They should be strung up my their toenails and publicly flogged.  Then slowly tortured until they beg for mercy then thrown in a dungeon for the rest of their lives.  Killing is too good for them.

What is your favorite curse word? I hate to say it, but it’s fuck. It’s the most versatile word in the world.

What sound or noise do you love? my children laughing.  There is nothing sweeter.

What profession other than your own would you like to attempt? photographer.  Obviously.  😉

What profession would you not like to do? teacher.  I have nothing but respect for people who teach.

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?  Welcome! Everyone is waiting to see you! And yes, there is a library with every book ever written.

I’m not going to tag anyone, but jump on it if you want too!

Nancytoes said something about not knowing what I look like, so here you go!  😉

Actually, take Ellie, make her older with dark brown hair and you have me.  Oh, and add about 100 pounds!

Mustang?

I fiddled with the pictures in the previous post several times yesterday.  Once I saw Les’s comment about the mustang I realized; I had changed that picture!

As for the new camera?  I got a Nikon D40x DSLR for my Valentine/Easter/Mother’s Day/probably rest of the year present!  And I have to say, I am totally in LOOOOVE with this camera.  It is definitely the best I’ve ever had.  I’ve been having so much fun taking pictures the last few days!!  Helps that I have such great models, huh?

Happy Anniversary to Meeeeee!

My 3 year blog anniversary, incredibly, is coming up on February 10th.  Coupled with that being Wesley’s 5 month birthday, I’m feeling like giving away something.  I love the way Tanabata is doing her giveaway, so I’m going to take a page from her book.  No pun intended.

This should be a pretty easy one for you.  A huge clue is in the text, plus it is one of my favorite books.   So guess correctly, and you’ll be entered to win!

Anyway, so what do you win?  I’m going to give away an Amazon gift certificate for $20!

I’m going to temporarily moderate my blog, so if you don’t see your post, you’ll know you got the answer right.  I’ll leave this open until Valentine’s Day, then pick a winner.   

Good luck!
