Get to Know Your Friends

I obviously love to read Julie Kiser's blog, since this is the second time I've stolen an idea from her blog. Over the years, I've received so many e-mails where you're supposed to answer at least thirty questions about yourself. Well, here's a shorter version. Hopefully my version will be as popular as Julie's. I'll give my answers as a comment.

1. Were you named after anyone?
2. What was the last movie you saw?
3. What's your favorite reality tv show?
4. What's your favorite vacation spot?
5. What's your favorite thing about fall?
6. What's your favorite flavor of ice cream?
7. If you could be anywhere right now, where would you be?
8. If you could have dinner with anyone, living or deceased, who would it be?

2. Pirates of the Caribbean 2
3. Amazing Race (although we enjoyed watching Treasure Hunters over the summer almost as much)

5. Favorite thing about fall has to be the changing colors on the trees.
6. Choosing a favorite flavor of ice cream, for me, is like trying to choose a favorite of my children. Just can't do it.
7. If I could, I'd be asleep!!
8. I would want to have dinner with my best friend from high school who I haven't talked to in several years. It'd be great to catch up.
