About a year ago, I started this Friday tradition. Of me asking you questions. You answering. Us getting to know each other better. I was inspired by a post of Debbie's over at This is the Life. But apparently Debbie has dropped off the face of the planet. Anyone heard from Debbie? And then another Debbie asked me to bring the Follies back. As they had fallen by the wayside with hospital adventures at the beginning of the year. Ask and you shall receive:
Facebook or Twitter?
Favorite berry?
Favorite salad dressing?
Pizza or chinese?
aerobics or water aerobics?
gold or silver?
shoes or barefoot?
Book on the top of your to be read pile
How long have you been texting?
Have you started back to school shopping?

I'll go first.
Facebook. I like twitter...but it seems that people tweet the same stuff they put on their updates.
Strawberries. Lots of them.
Naturally Fresh lite Ranch. Delish.
Chinese. I might have a different answer tomorrow.
Water aerobics.
Silver. But my wedding ring is gold from when that was what I liked. Is it awful that I want to change it?
Shoes. I have heel spurs and to go without shoes is to invite more pain into my life. I can do without pain.
Shanghai Girls by Lisa See. I loved her other book "Snow Flower and the Secret Fan." If you haven't read it...it needs to be on the top of your pile!
Just a few weeks. I am such a novice. But I could not do it without the qwerty.
I have. Katie has a new messenger bag. And I have been buying curriculum. Clothes I haven't done anything yet...
Facebook. On it when you had to have a .edu email to join. Yep, an elitist.
Raspberry. Especially in bulk from Costco for super cheap.
Dorothy Lynch - Nebraska original (sweeter version of French)
Pizza. Specifically pineapple & sausage.
aerobics or water aerobics? neither?? I don't really do either, but I should.
gold - silver is done too much.
shoes outside, barefoot inside.
Shelter Me by Juliette Fay - saw it @ Target, but got it thru Paper Back Swap.
A couple of years of texting? But I have a traditional celly phone, so I don't use it often...
n/a on the school shopping - no kiddos
Facebook. Totally Facebook.
Raspberry.
Balsamic Vinaigrette
PIZZA! Oh! Chinese Pizza!
Aerobic. I feel like an old lady doing water aerobics.
Silver. Or white gold?
Barefoot. Oh I <3 You Summer.
Love in the Time of Cholera.
Texting started, probably intensely in college. Circa 2003.
Back to school shopping? Sad! This is the first fall I wont be starting school again.
FRICK! I typed all of the answers out and Blogger ate them! STUPID BLOGGER!
Guess I'll do it again.
Facebook, but Twitter is fun too.
Blue. Definitely. I could eat a pint at every meal and still want more.
Homemade Buttermilk Ranch. I could drink that stuff! BUT these days, I use red wine vinegar and garlic salt. No more fatty dressings for this shrinking violet!
Both, but I'm in the mood for pizza more often.
Aerobics. I wouldn't have put my fat arse in a swimsuit and go work out. Plus, I like the challenge of learning new moves all the time.
Yellow Gold, but I like both.
Flip-flops please.
I have a Patricia Cornwell novel that I bought in Denver and haven't even started it yet.
I've never been a big texter, but now that I don't have a data plan, it just pisses me off when I get them. "Helloooooo people! Your stupid picture just cost me $4.71!!!" True story.
Midget's too little for school, so nope!
facebook

oil and vinegar (i don't do ranch)

'kay, here goes:
FB
Strawberry and blackberry, can't decide between the two.
Outback's "Tangy Tomato".
Pizza, every single day.
Aerobics.
Silver (my wedding set is gold, too; I'd love to change the setting, but probably never will; gold will be back in style someday).
Shoes. I hate my ugly toes.
The Westing Game. With peer pressure from Lula and my own daughter.
Still don't yet. Soon, very soon.
Bought some Sketchers for Gabe, and a few clothes here and there. Still have a month and a half, you know.
There you have it.
fb
fresh strawberries!
homemade buttermilk ranch
chinese!! and what's with the chinese on pizza? :)
i think aerobics is exercise, and that is a dirty word around these parts.
gold
i have recently discovered that i can wear flip flops all day and my feet don't hurt! you should see my flip flop tan :)
i'm reading a good ole danielle steel right now. probly more of the same to come. it is summer after all.

I love the Follies.
FB & Twitter
Blackberry
Ken's Steakhouse Ceasar
Pizza
I don't do aerobics but I like to swim.
Silver
Barefoot
I have no time to read
Texting for a few years and my new phone makes it so much better.
I have no time to even think about school shopping. I don't know how I am going to get it all done.
Twitter. Not because Im on Tweeting but because it'll show updates from all my other sites in one place.
Strawberries! Especially when they're nice and sweet.
Hidden Valley Ranch Spritzer. Low cals and low fat!
Pizza...hands down
Water aerobics. More resistance and you can cool off after without having to get out!
Gold...yellow gold! Silver looks like crap on me.
Barefoot when I can. I grew up running around that way and I plan on being buried that way.
Book? What's a book? *laffz* Actually its a Digital Photography for Dummies book I just bought.
no clue
no kids, no shopping ;)
Yea...I was wondering about Debbie too....I think she fell of the blog wagon like me :(
Facebook
Isn't it funny...I was thinking a phone...not a fruit!!! I do love my Blackberry (phone) but fruit...I'd say strawberries!
Balsamic vinagerette (sp? I'm too lazy to get up and look!)
Pizza
Never done water ones...don't care for plain aerobics either :(

Okay, I'm on Facebook a lot, but I am a Twitter JUNKIE. (I am also a marketing freak, though, so I mainly enjoy seeing how people/brands market themselves.) I cannot get enough of it.
Blackberries are my favorite.
Blue Cheese
Pizza, UNLESS the Chinese place makes good egg rolls. I've lived in the DC area for 13 years, and have not had a good egg roll since moving here. It is a travesty.
WATER aerobics, all the way.
Silver
Barefoot, preferably.
Hmm... so many piles. #1 is Silent in the Grave, by Deanna Raybourn, because she's a friend of mine, and it is just WRONG that I still haven't read it. Especially because it's the first in a series, and I haven't read the two that followed it, either. AND she'll be here next week. I am the WORST FRIEND! I do own them-- I just haven't read them yet.
Wow, I have been texting for a very long time, when I think back on my cell phones. Probably six years? Could that be right?
A friend of mine said something about Back To School shopping this morning, and that blew my mind. Didn't summer just begin? (Obviously, I don't have kids yet, huh?)
So happy The Follies are back, Kat!
Love,
kimmyd
Yeah this is back. I love it.
Twitter.

Are cherries a berry? If not, then blueberries.
Blue Cheese.
Pizza. The chinese don't use nearly enough cheese for my tastes.
Aerobics
Um, platinum.
Shoes
Pride and Prejudice - I've never read any Jane Austen and it is time.
I've been texting for a while, but I am pretty sporadic at it. Never been big into it. Probably because it is a pain with my phone. If...WHEN I get the Iphone I want, I'll probably be a texting fiend.
There's no back to school for me yet, so no.
Yahoo for Friday Follies!

SHUSH! We do not speak of back to school until at least August 1. Unless it's school supplies for super cheap. Then you can brag about your finds. Like penny sales. That's a teacher rule. :)
Facebook. I don't know how to text, so Tweeting is out. And I don't have that much spare time anyway :)

I love that orange French that they serve in restaurants, but it's so fattening, that I usually choose an Asian dressing.
