I was tagged by Chappyswife for this meme…
Accent: Y’all. Do I even have to answer that? Or AIN-sur thay-at?
Bible Book that I like: Ephesians. Why? Because I like me some Paul. But Paul wouldn’t want me to focus on him. So I guess I should say that I like the way God speaks through Paul. And I love the encouraging instruction for The Church.
Chore I don’t care for: Cleaning the bathrooms
Dog or Cat: Dog
Essential Electronics: Computer and cell phone (and the TiVo! I forgot the TiVo!)
Favorite Movie: Ocean’s Eleven – I know that’s pretty lame, but if I’m going to see a movie, I’m not terribly interested in An Important Message. I also like Coal Miner’s Daughter, Anchorman, Sixteen Candles, and anything featuring the lovely Ms. Julia Roberts as a romantic heroine.
Gold or Silver: Silver
Handbag I Carry Most Often: I have this big bronze hobo bag that is seemingly bottomless when I’m looking for my phone or my keys.
Insomnia: Yes. Thank you for asking.
Job Title: Servant – and I don’t mean that sarcastically at all. I really believe that my job is to serve my family, serve my friends, and serve my community by being obedient to God’s calling on my life.
Kids: 1 boy – 3 years old
Living Arrangements: We live in a Suburban McHouse that’s a little off the beaten path but close enough to everywhere we need to be.
Most Memorable Moment: Being pregnant. LOVED IT. Seriously. And the end result wasn’t so bad, either. :-)
Naughtiest Childhood Behavior: Probably the time Mama was driving down the road and I decided to throw the gearshift into neutral. She wasn’t happy.
Overnight Hospital Stays: For strep in the 12th grade, and then when I had Alex.
Phobias: Larvae / cocoon stages of anything. EWWWWWWW.
Quote: “He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.” – Jim Elliott
Religion: I don’t like the word “religion.” Not even a little. But I am a born-again believer in Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Just so we’re all clear and everything.
Siblings: I have an older sister and an older brother, who comment here frequently and SHOULD have blogs of their own because oh, the tales they could tell….
Time I Wake Up: As late as Alex allows.
Unusual Talent: Sister and Stacy made up what they called “Bizarro Language” when they were teenagers. I’m fluent in it. Can say or sing anything in Bizarro and freak you out as a result. Or “frarok yaro arot,” as it were.
Vegetable I Refuse to Eat: Radishes
Worst Habit: Procrastination. Once I get going on a project, I’m totally OCD, but if I don’t think I can do an EXCELLENT job at something, I put it off.
X-rays: Lots. I’m as clumsy as the day is long. With the most recent incident being this one.
Yummy Stuff I Cook: D. likes my homemade macaroni and cheese and country fried steak the best. I think homemade chocolate pudding is the best thing I make – it’s my Mamaw Davis’ recipe. My pork tenderloin is pretty tasty, too.
Zoo Animal I Like Most: Does the carousel count?
And I tag Melanie, Melissa, and Paulette. And whoever else wants to do this. :-)
The Jim Elliot quote is one of my favorites, too. We rented End of the Spear to watch tonight–I read Elisabeth’s account of that time, so I’m excited to see it in film!
And the larvae thing? Yuck. I really don’t see much purpose for insects at all. I’m even a little bit scared of ladybugs. (And feeling a little sheepish about admitting that!)
Chappyswife tagged me on this one, too–I need to start thinking!
Just visited your blog and saw I was tagged. And I had just finished my ABC’s for Susanne. So, I feel so accomplished! Like I killed 2 blogs with 1 stone or something like that…
I just released an entire container of ladybugs with my daughter today. Just for fun. Yes, for fun. Her fun, not mine. But, it was fun to see her giggle. And, then she freaked a little. :>)
Nice job title! Don’t tell me – the pay ain’t great, but it comes with oodles and scads of perks, right?
Um, did you forget TIVO in your essential electronics? ;-)
Oh sweet goodness Addie – thank you for the reminder.
That’s more like it! I was a little concerned when I saw it was missing from the list.
OK. When I mentioned my mammaw several posts ago, and you said you also had one, I thought, “Huh. Not too many people sport a mammaw. That’s interesting.” Now I learn your mammaw is a Davis. MY mammaw is a Davis. Woah. If you tell me your sister’s name is Christy (my sister and I call each other Sister, by the way), I’m gonna have to slap someone.
Remind me to tell you of the fight that nearly broke out between the redneck lady who fell down the stairs and the lady next to Janie and I last night at the Faith Hill -Tim McGraw concert. Faith Hill’s family sat two rows right behind us.
Nice to get to know the little fun things about you. I got tagged too
Oh, we are SO related to Toni! I knew it the first time I read her blog…and I’m so thankful that she won’t have to slap me. ;)
xo,
Boo, if that’s your naughtiest childhood behavior – I am SO in trouble!!
