1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.

"It was Marcelo's idea to return to Chile, and he had worked hard to make it all possible; he had leased the plane, hired the pilots, arranged the games in Chile, and created tremendous excitement about the trip."

(Full sentence, the 4th line is bolded above.) It comes from the book, Miracle in the Andes written by Nando Parrado. It's about the tragic airplane crash back in 1972 and the survivors (Uruguay rugby team) were on the mountain for 72 days before being rescued. My son picked it out for his nonfiction selection and he's still reading it. I picked it up because I was bored and didn't have anything else to read during this recovery period. I finished it yesterday.

The ending music of the movie "Independence Day" as my son has been watching it.

7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?

Hmm, that would probably have been Saturday, October 14th, when I got home from staying at my dad's a week (6th thru the 14th), after being in the hospital from Oct. 3rd thru the 6th. I was walking VERY slowly and HURTING quite a bit, but nothing like I was on Friday the 6th after being driven from the hospital to my dad's... OUCH!!!

8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at?

I was looking at CoffeeGirl's blog! That's where I got this survey!

Thanks, Coffee Girl!!   

9. What are you wearing?

My bathrobe.

10. Did you dream last night?

Actually, I did... and I remembered it right after I woke up, but can't remember it now. Bummer!

11. When did you last laugh?

Probably last night.

12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?

Hmm, well, it's a living room... We have shelves, some photos, a fake rock portion of a wall behind the gas heater (looks almost like a free standing fireplace), some cross stitch pictures I've done, a picture someone gave me, and one of my better watercolor paintings (only watercolor painting posted on my website under Artwork), then 2 candle sconces on each side of a large lithograph that my high school English teacher bought for me in Paris, France (I didn't get to go on that field trip! ), these last three are over the couch.

13. Seen anything weird lately?

Hmm, not really...

Here's an "interesting weird" thing... When I hug on my dog and make a "MMmmmm" sound, she makes an "MMmmmm" sound in reply... She's so smart, I think she is truly trying to mimic me and let me know she loves me too. 

14. What do you think of this quiz?

Quizzes can always be fun... depending on what they are asking me about! LOL

15. What was the last film you saw?

Dreamer, last night.

16. If you became a multi-millionaire over night, what would you buy?

First thing, tithe -- boy, our church would love that! LOL Then, finish this Old House, as well as landscaping the front & back yards. Maybe buy a few somethings that I'd like to have (not sure what that might be, but a little mad money would be nice!), but with the rest after the house & yards are done, put it in a good CD or Money Market account, so we could (hopefully) live off of just a portion of the interest...so that we would be able to give liberally to those things that the Lord would direct us to (organizations, causes, people, etc.)

17. Tell me something about you that I don't know.

Probably have already posted this, but I have Nail Patella Syndrome, a gene mutation that causes my fingernails to be split and my thumbs to look like they do. It also caused my tiny knee caps (patellas), can cause glaucoma and kidney problems down the road.

18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?

Make sure that the Gospel message was being told to everyone on this planet (and those on the space station grin). Get the U.S. out of the U.N. and have the U.N. move their headquarters to another country.

19. Imagine your first child is a girl, what would you name her?

Well, my first child was a boy and so was my second son, but if I could have another child and it was a girl, I'd call her "Grace Anne".

20. Imagine your first child is a boy what would you name him?

My first born's name is Michael. Our second born's was Richard. I love both those names... don't know if I have a third name...maybe Robert.

21. Would you ever consider living abroad?

SURE!! If money were no object! LOL

And I'd prefer it if I could drink the water.

22. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gate?

Well done, Good and Faithful Servant! Well Done!!
