Finish my sentence...

gardengumby

  I love all vegetables, but lately I've really been enjoying spinach.

For meat I prefer....

ruthbru

usually chicken or fish.....but I do still love a very occasional steak

potatoes or rice

WellWater

I think potatoes is still the side dish I would pick and would also pick Quinoa over rice.

(Ruth - going back up to your unanswered sentence)

"I really need a new"..................pair of brown/beige (summery) shoes to wear with work outfits.   But I hate, hate, hate shoe shopping - I have long narrow feet (10-1/2AAA) and usually have to choose a shoe that actually fits rather than one I "love".  Ugh.

If I could magically change 3 physical things about myself it would be.................................

Suzanne3131

...My tummy would be flatter, my skin would be firmer and I would be several inches taller! (Wow, that was shockingly easy to answer!)

Three physical attributes I am quite happy with, are.... 

ruthbru

Gee, that is much harder! I hve nice fingernails, my legs (below the knees) are pretty shapely, and I have a nice skin tone.

Compared to other women my age, I ......

fitzdc

 think I look younger (but feel oh so much older!)

Last night for dinner I had.....

WellWater

Greek food.  We went to the a Greek fest and I had bbq lamb, chicken, rice and salad.  No breads or spanikopita because we are gluten-free....we also had a nice Greek wine to accompany our dinner. 

Assassinated leaders:  If you could have prevented it, who's (whom's?) assassination would you stop and why?  (I'm reading 11/22/63...can you tell?)

(fitz - I am the opposite...I think I look older (wrinkled skin) but I know I feel much younger and have more energy than most ladies my age.)

ruthbru

I really wish Abrabam Lincoln would not have gone to the theater that night......I believe he was the only person who had the strength and wisdom to really reconcile the country after the Civil War.

Another great leader who died way too young is.....

WellWater

Martin Luther King.....he was a great man doing great things.

(Ruth...totally agree on AL.....the country would have greatly benefited with this man at the helm to heal the wounds of the civil war rather than faltering with an inept Johnson who allowed the malcontents in congress to run rough shod over the south)

If I could write a thank you note to one mentor from my youth, that person would be..... because......

ruthbru

My second grade teacher who made learning come alive. (I have already had the honor of thanking my college advisor, who did the same thing.)

Wellwater, too bad we can't get together and talk about great historical things. I went to a seminar about AL and asked one of the Lincoln scholars whom would have been a better choice for VP in 1864. His response was, "Pick any name in the phone book."

A very interesting historical site I have visited is......

WellWater

Vicksburg, MS....this city was held under siege for 40+ days in 1863 and still bears scars.  July 4th was not recognized as a holiday there until the 1960's.  We stayed in several restored antebellum homes one of which had been converted into a hospital for the blue and gray during the siege and one which still has a cannonball lodged in the wall.  I could go on and on....

(Ruth I agree! I am still down in the dumps about having to miss the Chicago get-together - I"d love to spend some time in conversation with you!)

My favorite vegetarian dinner consists of.....................

fitzdc

a nice salad of tomato, watermelon, onion, cheese, and olive oil.  The watermelon sounds strange, but it is so tasty.

My favorite icecream flavor is....

ruthbru

chocolate mocha

The flavor of ice cream that I would be least likely to order is....

Suzanne3131

chocolate.

If I found a $100 bill on the sidewalk today (and, of course, there was no way of knowing who it belonged to) I would spend it on..... 

gardengumby

a new pair of silk pants

If I could go anywhere in the world I wanted for a month, I would go to....

WellWater

This might sound a little strange but a gal I golf with used to travel with a missionary group to countries in South America...she and her husband would go in January or February and rent an inexpensive house/condo near the beach....they would spend 3/4 days a week working on a new school or hospital being built...he would do construction work, she would teach English or help in a hospital.  Then they would take the other days in the week to explore and enjoy the area.  It was their way of "snowbirding".  I would love to spend a month or two doing something like this.

Since I can't go somewhere for a month quite yet, I'd like to plan a one-week vacation to...

gardengumby

a Caribbean cruise.  I love the caribbean and enjoy cruising on occasion.  Right now I'm really up for spending a week doing no cooking, no cleaning, no commuting and swimming at a beach on a different island every few days.

If I could retire tomorrow I would....

fitzdc

move out of the city, take a language class, and learn to make a killer chocolate pie.

I have always wanted to learn to.....

akc820608

scuba dive.

My favorite place to visit is.....

ruthbru

the ocean.

(routine blood work, I hope. Thanks for your support!)

Something good that has happened to me this week is...... 

ruthbru

DH is taking a week off and actually getting some things done around the house! 

(Yep, 6th month checkup next week. Gulp!......I wish there was more I could do besides just saying that I'm sorry!)

One thing I am thankful for is.....

hbcheryl

my friends, don't know what I would do without them

If you could sit front row at any concert by any artist in the world it would be....

(Ruth good luck with the blood work, I went last week get my results on thursday)

ruthbru

Jimmy Hendrix

If I had been a groupie for any band, it would be for....

We will have to celebrate our good results (knock on wood!).

hbcheryl

Well I loved George Harrison but if I'm going to be a groupie i'd choose bad boys so The Rolling Stones

My favourite childhood candy was...

fitzdc

Twizzlers - I could eat them by the bagful!

When I look out my bedroom windwow I see......

trees.

hbcheryl
