It's that time of the week again...time for us to get to know one another. And answer some questions. And because my brain is frazzled, I have outsourced the questions. Outsourced them to Angie's Spot. Because she was coereced volunteered. So many thanks to Angie for taking time away from your Christmas holiday. And your Disney vacation after glow...
I find it so funny that people are always talking about "Christmas in July" sales and activities, but you never hear anyone talking about "July during Christmas" stuff. So, this week, I'll get the requisite Christmas questions out of the way, but the rest will be focused on some of my favorite July things. Merry Christmas everyone!

Oooo I'm first! I'm first!
1) I got a VITAMIX! I got one! I totally got a Vitamix! (I'm excited)
2) I gave my husband a Starbucks gold card. I'm so proud of my find. Stupid, I know but ... ooo that or the photo book from the trip to Florida that is for my mom that is STILL on the Fed Ex truck for deliver for the last 41 hours.
3) Ummm both? They both have their pluses. Today I'll go warm.
4) Does the flag count?
5) Disney. Duh.
6) Blue
7) Sauce. I'm wrong that way -- but I'm not from the South, so it's ok.
8) Both again!
9) Ahead of time. I was ALWAYS reading. ALWAYS.
10) Fiji diving and eating the local foods (papaya, banana, coconut salad picked from the trees as we boat to an atoll). Yum! Or horseback riding across Ireland -- I'd totally do it if I could find someone to go with me. I've wanted to do it for YEARS.
Merry Christmas!

Most definitely sunny destinations!

Disney (but I've never been to Universal)
Blue
Sauce
I'm pretty sure Angie knows of my aversion to non-chlorinated water... so I'd rather spend the day poolside than on the beach.
I finished my reading early... as long as it was a book that I liked.

6. I'd have to go with red, although actually I like orange.

8. If I'm swimming or sunbathing I will stay poolside. If I'm walking or exploring I like the beach.
9. I was always a head of schedule when it came to reading anything and then I'd do way more than required. I'm a nerd about that stuff.
10. I want to tour Europe.
1 ... I appreciated all my gifts :-) A close friend gave me a fishing vest that she knew I wanted to hold all my photography stuff in. Much easier than carrying a heavy cmera bag. It has heaps of pockets in it.
2 ... Gave my hubby one of those little flash drive thingys. His brother gave us a new computer for Xmas, so it will come in handy transfering files between the two computers.
