The Prompts:
1.) Did you create a list of 22 things you’ve done in your life last week? This week, choose one item from your list and elaborate! We want the story.
2.) Create an FAQ page for yourself that answers frequently asked questions if people were to frequently ask you questions. People make those up all the time. YOUR TURN!
3.) Write a post in just eight lines. (inspired by Mommy Nani Boo Boo)
4.) Pour me a drink. Share a favorite drink recipe! (inspired by The Spohrs Are Multiplying)
5.) A day in the life of your pet…how bad do they have it?
Great FAQs! But, um, okra? Really? I crave fried okra. And gumbo (the good stuff has okra). Mmmmm.
ReplyDeleteI love that Princess Bride quote! Apparently it wasn't in the script. Bill Crystal just came up with it spontaneously! Also, I love 5'3'' height and width. At my last driver's license renewal, I was shorter, wider, and my eyes had changed color. What the heck?!
ReplyDeleteI hate whining too. I have a sign in my kitchen that says, "There will be a five dollar charge for whining"!
ReplyDeleteI want Diane's whining sign! The sound of whining makes my skin crawl! Very informative post!
ReplyDeletePrincess Bride is one of my all time favorite movies "Hello, my name is Enigo Montoya. You killed my father. PREPARE TO DIE!"... I could watch it over and over until I'm "mostly dead". Loved finding out more about you!
