I have been wracking my brain trying to think about what to blog about today. I thought about copying Mrs. R and her Friday's Fab Five. Which I'll probably do at some point. And then I thought about joining Carrie and her Friday Photo Fiesta. Which I'll probably do at some point, too. And then Debbie over at This is the Life did a "getting to know you game" yesterday that would be very easy to copy. Hey, Debbie...whatever happened to those "Are you Smarter than a Fifth grader" Fridays?
Anyway...I got to thinking about what to title this post. Because I am so positive that you are curious as to how I come up with these things. And all the above themed posts have alliteration in them. So...I came up with "follies." Which means something that is strictly decorative with no purpose. Kinda like my blog. Works for me. Oh, wait...that's a Wednesday theme.
So, we are going to play Debbie's game. Sort of. It’s just a few questions. A way for me to know a little more about you. Maybe even a non-threatening way to bring some lurkers out of the woodwork. Come on…you know you want to play! Or as my kids say…Pretty Please with Camel Fleas…

I'll put my answer in the comments...and I'm looking forward to getting to know you...

We are actually on vacation right now...in San Antonio, Texas. We go home tomorrow. And then in two weeks we are going to St. George Island for two weeks.
Disney, Hands down.
Salty...then sweet...then salty again. Repeat.
Lots and lots of color. We have some pretty dark colors in our house - including our dining room that is an orangy red.
Extrovert.
Blue Bell's Tin Roof sundae...which is vanilla ice cream with fudge ripples and chocolate covered peanuts.

Hannibal. Yeah, I know. That's been years ago. I do not enjoy the movie theater!

HI Kat! I am going to start the Fifth Grader thing up again. I got caught up in my mommy blogging posts so I put it aside for just a bit.
Cats
Yes, the beach.
Ummm...not sure
Salty, always.
Lots and lots of color.
I am an extrovert, but I do enjoy doing things by myself the older I get.
Maggie Moo's Better Batter
Fall
Neither (although I might need reading glasses soon)
Kung Fu Panda last Sunday. Saw lots of it through my eyelids.
Susan--Where are you and dh going sans kiddos? Michael and I took a cruise by ourselves 4 years ago. We need to do that again!
Debbie--builder beige...too funny. My friend that I am visiting her in Texas is looking for a new house...so one of the things we have been doing is looking at model homes. There is not much builder beige anymore. I've seen lots of dark beiges, neutral greens and blues...
Tiffany--I have never heard of that ice cream flavor...is it a brand you can get at the grocery or is it from a shop? I am all about chocolate and peanut butter!
Debbie--I've never heard of that ice cream flavor either. I'm thinking that we are missing some things in my Publix! I have not taken the girls to the movies this summer. We haven't seen Prince Caspian or Kung Fu Panda. I wonder if Get Smart will be an option (I know I want to see it...)
hey kat!
got your message about being tagged, but don't understand what to do!! we've been vbs'n all this week, so bloggin' has taken to the backburner...hope to catch up this weekend!
have a good weekend!

Love it Kat! Friday Follies...I'm trying to figure out a schedule for my blog to help get content organized...glad I'm not alone!

The Water Horse, I think.
DQ--The meme is on this post: http://sunshineandlemonade.blogspot.com/2008/06/important-yet-random-things-about-me.html
Just make a list of 6 things about you...and tag some other people if you choose. I love memes. It's a great way to deal with my constant blog block issues. There is no way I could actually write for a living!
We head home from Texas tomorrow...and then the girls are in VBS next week...and I'll have my mornings free.
Julie--How do you like the lasik? I have a few friends that had it...and say their night vision is now horrid. But they still don't regret for a moment that they had it done.
Gwyneth--We have still not seen "The Water Horse." I have it in my netflix queue...
Dogs... have two loveable imps.
Vacationing at home, but have fun things planned.
Disney
Salty, I guess as I like savoury stuff. But I'm a sucker for chocolate and I love pavlova
Colour
I'm an introvert with unexpected depths :-)
Hokey Pokey icecream hands down. However Breyers Double Churn FF Chocolate Fudge Brownie comes a close second..
Fall
Glasses
The last Harry Potter movie
Kat...that ice cream is from an ice cream shop called Maggie Moo's. Do you have them? It is like Coldstone Creamery if you have one of those. Their ice cream is so very yummy! I'm comment padding for you ;)
Dogs and cats!
No vacation.
Disney or Universal? Good question. I've never been.
Sweet and salty.
Color on my walls.
Introvert or extrovert? Yes. :)
Fav ice cream-All of them? But especially peppermint stick in the winter and Phish Food.
Fav season-Fall
Contacts.
Last movie? Let's just say it was in 2002. :(
Karen--All these ice cream flavors that I have *never* heard of. Explain Hokey Pokey, please!
Debbie--No, we don't have Maggie Moos. Not around me anyway. We do have Coldstone Creamery...and another similar one that I cannot think of the name of right now. Do you all have Bruster's Ice cream?
And is this comment padding?! I am always answering in the comment section. I love when people talk back to me. Well...except the little people in my life. They talk back, momma ain't happy...
Angie--We play trivia weekly...and one week, we were given a list of ice cream flavors and we had to tell which were made up and which were Ben and Jerry's. Hardest question ever! And what's in Phish Food? You know, I don't think I've ever actually eaten Ben and Jerry's ice cream...
Are you givin' us homework?! Oh, ok. I'll just warn you, I'm wordy.
I love all animals, but I prefer dogs over cats. hubby's allergic to cats or I'd have a few of those, I'm sure. He didn't want a dog but I made him get one and now he LOVES her.
Yes, vacation, yes. We're going to the Houston area to visit family, family reunion in the Texas Hill Country and anything else I can work in.
I prefer salty. But sometimes I gotta have sweets too.
I have beige walls right now but I prefer lots of color. I painted our last place with sort of sunflower golden walls.
I'm kind of shy and definitely more of an introvert. (nice big SAT word, Kat!)
I love Cookies N Cream by Blue Bell as well as just plain homemade vanilla.
My favorite season is fall, with all those holidays lined up, the cool weather starting and it's a season so filled with excitement. Spring is a close second fav with flowers blooming, trees growing leaves, gorgeous time with lots of thunderstorms and my birthday.
I wear glasses at night, contacts during the day.
I just saw Sex and The City TODAY in the theater. It was GREAT!! I laughed out loud and cried and laughed some more. It was awesome.
Rhea--Oh, I like wordy. Big surprise there! I think I just left 41 comments on your site. I thought you guys were going to California this summer - is that still on? How fun to see a chick movie! I netflixed the first season...will I be shunned if I said "eh?" I am thinking that I don't need to watch them all to like the movie. I need to have a girls night...
Hokey Pokey icecream is a vanilla flavoured ice cream that has chunks of hokey pokey (sea foam candy) mixed through it. Very yummy. An explanation here http://new-zealand-travel.suite101.com/article.cfm/do_the_hokey_pokey

You MUST go get Phish Food right now. It's chocolate ice cream with marshmallow spread throughout with these carmel filled, chocolate covered fish. Must.get.Phish.food!
Oh, I like this Friday Follies thing! Here's my info.
Definitely dogs. I love cats, but my hubby can't stand them, so I've learned to adapt.
I went to Maine a few weeks ago and I'm in Atlanta right now for a girls weekend with my BFF. We might end up going to Myrtle Beach before the end of the summer, but not sure yet.
Disney...no other park exists in my world.
Sweet, definitely sweet.
I love lots of color. My living room color is "Hawaiian Passion".
Introvert until I get comfy with a situation and then I'm an extrovert.
Mayfield's Chocolate Marshmellow. My granddad & I used to eat bowls full when I was a kid.
Fall is the best!
I wear contacts through the day and my really stylish red framed glases at night.
Sex & The City in the theater. Good movie, but not as good as the tv series.
Ok, sorry I got so wordy. Like I said, when I'm comfy with a person, I'm an extrovert. :-)

Oooh, I want to play!

Are you going on a vacation this summer? no, but if I did, it would just be a vacation around here. I love touring where you live. Sometimes complacency breeds... Uh... ignorance about where you live? You know what I mean, right?

Sweet or salty? salty
White walls or lots of color? LOTS OF COLOR!!

Depends on my mood
Mint chip or swiss chip
Fall
Contacts, but glassed early in the morning or late at night
Indiana Jones
Angie--Hmmm...not sure about the marshmallow part...but the rest of it sounds devine. Might just have to add it to the grocery list I am supposed to be working on.
Other Angie---My top commenter widget does not see the difference between my two Angies :-) What fun things are you doing in Atlanta this weekend? We got home last night. And what color is "Hawaiian Passion?" I love paint names. My dining room is Sasparilla.
Insane Mama--Have a great time at the lake this week! We still have not managed to see Indiana Jones. We need to put that on our schedule.
Lauren--We had a great time in San Antonio. I need to do a blog recap. But I am too busy procrastinating. Not very romantic - left hubby at home :-) I agree completely with you about Harrison Ford. I ended up in my major in college because of a professor that looked like him...
Apple Joos--You are so right. I cannot remember the last time we did stuff that is practically in our own back yard. It seems like it takes having out of town visitors to get us to be local!
Romi--I understand about the ice cream. There are lots of sweets I would choose over it anyday. But I am like that with cheesecake. Don't care for it at all.
KimmyJ--You are a brave woman! Letting your husband pick out your house in VA Beach. When is moving day?
Heather--How was What happens in Vegas? Is it worth seeing or even netflixing? I love turning product names into verbs...
Chubby--Where do you all like to vacation? I haven't seen No Country either. I didn't see most of the movies nominated for Oscars this year...usually I have seen them all...
Elena--I have never been to Yellowstone...it's on my list :-) If you are afraid of color...a good way to start is to just do one wall. An accent wall will get you some color but not be too overwhelming...And if you don't like it...paint over it.
1. I love both, but I hate messing with a litter box, so I'll have to say dogs
2. Nope. Summer is the busiest time of year for hubby, and I *hate* dealing with all of the other tourists. We like to take our trips in the spring and fall.
3. Disney. Land, not World.
4. Depends on the hormone fluctuations ;D
5. Color - white is bo-ring!
6. introvert
7. Cookies and cream & rocky road
8. Fall!
9. neither
10. Indiana Jones

Are you going on a vacation this summer? Nope
Disney or Universal? Disney

I strongly suspected that it was combining both of our comments. We might overtake the top spot soon! :-) Atlanta was great. Cocktails, pool lounging, cooking and blogging. A perfect weekend! "Hawaiian Passion" is a bright goldenrod color. It borders on orange with my red ceiling. Yes, I said red ceiling.
