Remember how summers during childhood stretched out for so long? We would amuse ourselves by playing games with neighborhood children. In some ways, I haven't grown up yet. My friend Carol, from An Oasis in the Desert, recently tagged me. The rules of the game dictate that I answer her questions, then tag other bloggers to answer the same questions. So watch out, I'm "IT!"
Before I start chasing you, though, here are my answers to the questions:
1. Are you named after someone?
No, although my mom met someone named Kristi in her college dorm, I was not named after that person.
2. When was the last time you cried?
last month
9. What's the color of your eyes?
green--though the color seems to change depending on the color I'm wearing
10. Scary movie or happy endings?
20. What do you want to be when you grow up?
I hope to be a better version of my current self.
OK, now for thefun hard part--trying to tag other bloggers! I have found that although bloggers love the recognition of being tagged, and they love to introduce blogging friends to their readers, they don't like their friends to feel burdened with a tag. So, when I tag someone, it's always with the understanding that if you don't want to play, it's OK!
I appreciate the many friendships I have made through blogging, but I decided this time I would tag three women I actually know in real life:
Julia of Julia T.B.A
Kimberly of Olive the Things
Martha of The Book of Martha
Go stop by their blogs and say "hi!"
Thanks for friends--new and old, virtual and irl.

When I read that winter was your favorite, I actually said out loud with a squeal. As in who in her right mind would pick winter?!? But then I remembered where you live. :)
ReplyDeleteIt took me a loooong time to figure out what IADOREGON meant. In my defense, I'm completely drugged up. :)
I wasn't given the option of autumn, so winter won. Everyone here seems to pick either autumn or spring as the favorite season. Summer is too hot. We sometimes get snow in winter--it's too cold to grow citrus here--but we don't get SNOW like you do.
DeleteSorry for the bumper sticker confusion. You get a pass. Hope your recovery is going along well and that your kiddos are being great helpers.
Your game is too adorable and what an awesome talent! I also lovelove your answer of wanting to be a better version of yourself when you grow up - here's to that. :)
ReplyDeleteI'll do just about anything for sweet baby giggles.
DeleteI loved your answers! Living where you are I think winter would be my favorite, too! It gets really hot where you are at!
ReplyDeleteSo fun to read, Kristi, and I'd say you are the master of the "donut stack!"
