It's time again for the Friday Follies. Our weekly getting to know you session:
This week, I did not win a copy of Photoshop (that I so would have given to one of YOU) from Pioneer Woman; a bench rehab from Kimba, or an iphone from Parent Bloggers. Which begs our first question:
1. Have you ever won anything? What? How?
2 Favorite candy.
3. Are you ticklish?
4. rule breaker or rule keeper?
5. exercise your mind or your body?
6. What is your favorite board game?
7. traveler or homebody?
8. What is your favorite room in your house?
9. What is one thing you would rather pay someone to do than to do it yourself?
10. Favorite fast food restaurant.
Have you entered the "My Favorite Things Swap" yet? Just click on the picture on the top of the left sidebar to see what it's all about.

I won some free Usborne merchandise at a drawing once. And I won 10 free tickets to the King Tut exhibition in Atlanta that starts next month. And a few bucks here and there on lottery tickets over the last 20 years. Sigh.
Favorite candy is Turtles
Horribly ticklish.
It depends on the situation.
Neither my mind or my body get enough exercise although my mind does get more than my body. :(
I'm a Trivial Pursuit kind of person although I love chess as well. There are very few board games that I don't like.
I'm more of a homebody. I enjoy traveling but LOVE coming back home.
My fav room is probably our great room where we all hang out together.
I would rather pay someone to put my Christmas decorations away than to do it myself.
Chick Fila is my fav fast food restaurant.
I have won a TON of stuff in the past three weeks! All from my favorite beauty blogs-- here's what I've won:
A Tassi (see www.TassiCompany.com)
a new Neutrogena sunscreen
a "Wallflower Watercolours for Cheeks" by Three Custom Color Specialists
two SKINN lipglosses
My favorite candy-- Rolo
I used to get ticklish, but my Mom taught me how to concentrate, so I wouldn't be ticklish anymore.
Depends on the rule, but I'm usually pretty respectful of rules.
My mind gets regular workouts. My body... not so much.
Probably Scrabble.
I really don't like to travel. I like *being* in other places, but I hate GETTING THERE.
My bedroom. It's my safe haven.
Clean my house!
Wendy's
Awww, man. I've got to change one of my answers-- forgot about Chick Fil A. (We don't have many of them up here, so I tend to forget it's my fave!)
1. Yes, but its been awhile! We used to have an oldies station here that had awesome contests... through them I have won lunch for 2 @ several different restaurants, 2 night stay @ historic Tutwiler Hotel in Birmingham w/ tickets to Marie Antionette exhibit @ B'ham Museum in 2002, tickets to 2007 US Figure Skating Nationals in Atlanta... that's all I can remember
2. Peanut M&Ms

Oh, you guys are all so much more on the ball than I am. I am always late to my own party :-)
1. I don't win things. Well, except when I stalked Angie's blog so that I would ensure I won the $25 gift card to Barnes and Noble. Now, my husband wins EVERYTHING. Just this week he has had three contest wins. He has one a year of free steaks from Omaha steaks, stainless steel gas grill, hammock, luggage, 2 flat screen TVs, $500 Visa gift card (which was cool because it's below the threshold where they make you fill out info for taxes.), and then of course tons of crap like t-shirts, hats, chip clips, coupons, and other things that go to Good will.
2. peanut m&ms
3. Incredibly. Just looking at me funny can get me going.
4. Both. I think the speed limit is the most violated. And stop signs are just suggestions, right?
5. MIND. I do the body at water aerobics - but it doesn't feel like exercise.
6. Trivial pursuit.
7. I would love to travel all the time. As long as I could bring my own bed.
8. Either my bedroom or my kitchen. The best things happen in those two rooms ;-)
9. I only get one thing? Clean the house. And I do pay someone to do it. It makes me happy to have a clean house. Even if it's only for one day a week. Before my family destroys all her efforts.
10. SONIC - yum, yum, yum.
Have you ever won anything? What? How? I have been winning stuff since high school. Lots of concerts tickets, not much money, airline tickets, albums and CDs, and of course the really excellent prize package for YOU!
Favorite candy? Peanut M&Ms - dark chocolate style
Are you ticklish? Sometimes
rule breaker or rule keeper? I am such a rule keeper its ridiculous. Makes me nuts sometimes. I think I am throwback from Kant - if you can make your actions what everyone can do, then its okay. (mildly interpretted)
exercise your mind or your body? both
What is your favorite board game? Yahtzee, because I like to yell Yahtzeeeee! everytime I win
traveler or homebody? traveler
What is your favorite room in your house? bedroom
What is one thing you would rather pay someone to do than to do it yourself? I'm with you on the housecleaning thing.
Favorite fast food restaurant? Chik Fil A
Ok first, I love this ABBA song.
1. Well, in addition to your cat picking me as the Office Depot gc winner last week, I also won a diamond ring at a Body Shop at Home national convention 2 years ago. That was pretty exciting.

2 My favorite candy is lemon drops (and chocolate, of course).
3. Yes, I'm ticklish. Not overly so, but yes.
4. I used to be a total rule abider but I'm getting more dangerous and daring in my old age.
5. I enjoy both exercising my mind and my body. I need to do both, often, but the mind part comes a little easier than the body part.
6. I love board games, but my favorites are Sequence and Blokus!
7. I've been both traveler and homebody...and I like a creative combination of both. :o)
8. My favorite room is my bedroom.
9. CLEAN. I need people to clean for me because I suck at it. And by clean I mean organize, deep clean and everything in between.
10.I really like Steak and Shake. Their milkshakes and grilled cheese sandwiches are delicious.
I used to win countless radio contests for everything...gift cards, flowers, concert tickets and DH even won us a trip to NY to see the Lion King one time. Since they've changed their format, it doesn't happen much anymore. Recently I won a diamond bracelet and a seaweed wrap on our last cruise.

Only my feet and my kids LOVE that they know that!
Follower (except the speed limit. I have a lead foot). I desperately want to be a breaker sometimes, but I am to bound by law.
