Enjoyed reading your list! I love Rascal Flatts, but they are terrible in concert. Been twice and it was the same exact show! I have a lot of their songs on our playlist, but most played would be a toss-up between Kenney Chesney’s “Back Where I Come From”, or a Taylor Swift song bc my daughter loves her music. If I could work on one project for an entire year it would definitely be filling in baby books and printing out pictures. That sounds awful, but I haven’t written in Darby’s since he was 6 mos old and poor Darcy doesn’t even have one:/. Guess I’d better get to work!
If my husband could tell something repeatedly about me, it would have to be about the time when we lived in College Station, I was still attending TAMU and he was just graduated. I heard glass break during the night and jumped up to shut our bedroom door and called 911. It was actually a picture frame that I had above the stove that had fallen and broke. I will never live that one down. The best part of waking up is seeing my little baby’s face when I open my eyes. He’s my last baby, so I’m soaking it all in . My favorite time of year is definitely fall. I love the cool air, getting outside without the pollen everywhere, apple cider, coffee, hot cocoa, pumpkin candles…

Gwen, I sure would love to see that little Christmas tree! It sounds so beautiful and charming. But I’m sorry to hear you’re sick in the mornings. I’m glad it slowly gets better. You’re precious! Lisa~

Oooh, I’m with you on the hot shower. I love that too. But I take mine at night.

We’re looking forward to that sci-fi novel around here!

1. Most played song on my iPod:
Goodness, of all time, I’ve no idea! However lately I’ve been flogging the song “Hold Me” by Jamie Grace, feat. TobyMac. I hope to learn how to play it on the guitar, because I love the lyrics.

2. If you could work on only one project for the next year what would it be?
It would be my sci-fi novel. Even if I would probably get bored with it at times…

3. What story does your family always tell about you?
Um… there’s too many. Probably the time when I put a wooden block in a stocking when I was really little, and swung it round and round, accidentally hitting my brother in the forehead. Guilty of that little scar above his eyebrow.

4. The best part of waking up is __________.
Having a hot shower, which is part of my waking up, and then spending time with God.

5. What is your favorite time of day, week, month, year?
Day? Around 4pm when the weather is nice, and the sun’s rays just begin to slant through the gumtrees. Week? Friday, because that means Saturday is coming! Month? Every fortnight, because Church music practise is on. Year? Autumn, or fall, as you call it. I love the cool overcast weather; it’s perfect for fires and tree climbing.

Song: Mandisa with a bit of Toby Mac–Good Morning–how can I be sad listening to that?! Followed by an old son Be Ye Glad
Project: Make my own little Christmas tree as I did for others out of stuff found in my Dad’s darning suitcase filled with his darned socks, old Ushirts, broken red suspenders, many kinds of strings, threads, and darning supplies…oh I made such unusual little Christmas trees for others but never made my own…from what others said was a heap of rags Dad 1920~2010
Story about me? I was an EGGHEAD!!! I had little hair that first year and it came in so blonde that my older siblings could always get a wahhhh out of me by saying You were an egghead!!! Now we all laugh about it! I have the most hair of all.
Best part of waking up: honestly I am sick each morning because of health problems, so my favorite part is to sit in my corner chair and read my Bible. Eventually it gets a bit better
Favorite time of day: sunset into twilight

Stacie, we have quite a few Veggie Tales playing over here too! That hour of quiet sound so nice! I don’t have that since the kids got older, but I can also go take a break when needed, so it was a good trade. Thanks for answering! Lisa~

1. Right now..Veggie Tales “This is my commandment” but I would prefer Jesus Culture radio on Pandora!
2. Definitely it would be the Laundry room make-over I didn’t start last spring.
3. Um, I’m not the focus of the stories at the moment! But give it time, I’m sure..
4. The hour of quiet I get before getting lunches ready and everyone wakes up. Lately, Beth Moore has kept me company as she reaches me about Deuteronomy and it has been so invigorating!!
5. I love the morning. But I am an October-December girl. It doesn’t get much better than these beautiful months!!

Oh Debbie that story about you thinking you were adopted is so SAD! Poor little thing. I always take my shower at night. See? I think it’s so interesting to learn this kind of thing about each other! You fascinate me! Lisa~

Here goes…I don’t have an iPod but I listen to gospel songs in the car every where I go. One project all year – oh my! – probably catch up on scrapbooking but that would probably take more like ten years! The story told about me is probably the one about me thinking I was adopted until I was sixteen. I believed that because my older brother and sister always told me that. I was very shy and quiet and never let on until time to get my license. My mom was appalled. The best part of waking up is taking a shower and starting a new day. Like you, I love fall!

Uh-oh Kimberly, you read it wrong. I don’t drink coffee…never have. But we can find something else to unite over, right? Lisa~
