Get To Know You Wednesday

Update: This post was made in 2011. Another blogger, who no longer has a public blog, had a series where they asked questions for anyoe who would to answer so our readers could get to know us a little better. Here are the questions for that day and my answers. It was fun to look back at my answers. And they’re mostly still true. I’ve updated a couple. Here’s what they asked:

• Everyone seems to have a quirky family situation. What is something unique about your family dynamic?

Oh, goodness. What isn’t quirky about my family? Let’s see. Where to start?
1) We ARE The Griswolds. Our vacations have all the hilarity and mishaps that the Vacation movies have.
2) We have some crazies. Both my side and my husband’s side. But the most notorious is a distant relative of his, one we’d never met or heard of, but still probably as close as a second cousin, who was on America’s Most Wanted. (Added: A close second is one of my cousins, who was robbing banks on a motorcycle.) Something to be proud of, huh?
I could write a book, but won’t go any further tonight.

• What is the most stressful aspect to blogging {aside from the network going down}?

Good grief! Keeping up! Hands down, that is the most stressful. I love to see what everybody is up to and my blog list keeps growing and if I miss a day it takes three days to catch up. (Update: These days it’s getting back into the groove of blogging and trying to keep up with Instagram.)

• We all end up on a blog at some point in our day, but name your top three favorite websites you flock to daily {non blog}.

Facebook, Etsy and TV listings. Or Twitter, but I haven’t been Twittering lately. (Update: Still Facebook, but I’m trying to let my Etsy shop fade away, so these days, it’s Facebook and Instagram and whatever else crosses my mind.)

• What’s your sign? Believe in it or not, does any part ring true to you?

Sagittarius. And yes. I don’t remember what now, but it has me pegged pretty well.

•  Ice cream!! ICE CREAM!! We all scream for ice cream! Name your favorite flavor/brand!

Actually, I’m not a big ice cream lover, but I could eat my weight in homemade vanilla. That was what I craved when I was pregnant with my second, and youngest, child. My momma’s recipe. I’m kinda partial to that. DQ ice cream comes in second.
