A Chauffer. I hate to drive. I don't read maps well. I tend to get turned around. I need a Chauffeur.


Soup ~

I think I am pretty good at remembering peoples names. Even when they have more than one. tee hee


Salad ~
What is the last thing that you spilled?
The last thing I spilled was a Brita pitcher of water. ALL over the counter. Just an FYI, if you are filling the thing and letting it filter wait until it is done doing so before attempting to pour a glass of water. Cuz otherwise the lid is gonna pop off and you will have water EVERYWHERE and your kid will come in to see what all the fuss is about and laugh at you. :-)


Entrée ~
I have my Mom to thank for ______________.
my obsession with CookBooks and cooking magazines. I have proudly passed this obsession on to my daughter.


Dessert ~
Were you named after anyone? If not, do you know how your parents chose your name?
I was not named after anyone that I am aware of. I also do not know how my parents came to choose my name. All I do know is that Daddy has always told me that had I been a boy my name would have been Cecil Lawerence. To which my mother would respond, G, it would not have been, stop teasing her. Good memories.

I will continue to put it out even if just one person wants to continue to play. I do so love it when we have a ton of players though.

chauffeur. Not that I don't like to drive but I spend 2 hours or more a day commuting. This could be time spent studying, sleeping, computing, reading if someone else was driving. I would use public transport if it was reasonable from my area. It would add 45 minutes each way to the commute the last I checked and it was so sparse that missing a connection would be catastrophic on the order of hours

Soup ~

no, terrible! It took me forever to remember your name, Lucille

Salad ~
What is the last thing that you spilled?


oil down the front of the engine as I misjudged the pour into the oil opening.

Entrée ~
I have my Mom to thank for ______________.


well being here of course, then... propensity to hum while I am doing chores

Dessert ~
Were you named after anyone? If not, do you know how your parents chose your name?


No I wasn't and if I did ever know, I have forgotten. We can ask in a couple weeks when we visit them.

I enjoy it. some questions seem like homework from time to time but that is usually solved with a cup of coffee and a little more time to think :-)

I'm completely torn - the following images come to mind:
Nanny - either Fran Drescher or Juliet Mills (not this new reality show nanny chick)
*or* Housekeeper Nadine Valazquez (not Ann B. Davis!)
*or* Cook - Giada de Lorentis will do far more than adequately ;-) Could be a Butler(housekeeper) if he's totally sarcastic and funny like Robert Gulliame or Daniel Davis or kooky and tall like Ted Cassidy ;-)
*or* Chauffeur - Penelope Pitstop (yeah, she's a cartoon, but she's a redhead with a Southern accent wearing tall white boots ;-))

Soup ~

Who again is asking me??? LOL! Thing is I am meeting so many people these days and I can't remember ONE name without some sort of study guide! And it's not fair when they just gotta meet me and I gotta meet ALL of them! - LOL!

Salad ~
What is the last thing that you spilled?
My heart :-(

Entrée ~
I have my Mom to thank for ______________.
Teaching me how to colour in the lines ;-) Oh, and for artistic creativity in general. Oh! and a second middle name. Oh! and... and... ;-)

Dessert ~
Were you named after anyone? If not, do you know how your parents chose your name?
My first name, no. My middle name (the first given but second positionally) was from my father who said if I was ever going to be president, I needed a silly middle name - so he gave me "Gunnar' after some wrestler in the 50's. My mother had no middle name and took pity (see Entrée above) - so it's Eric John Gunnar B. ;-) But since my father died when I was only 6 mos. old, Gunnar is one of the few things I ever had of his (oh, and apparently my crazy side too ;-). I have kept up the tradition - Ian Kenneth Dennis B. is now 15! ;-)

I'd better go with the Cowboys for 2 reasons:
1) I'll potentially get kicked off this site if I don't ;-)
2) That Favre guy - if you are from the Midwest, you hate him for going to the Vikings regardless of if you think he's a great player or never heard of him until he caused an uproar (I'm in the later category)...

Actually, this one was one of the most fun ones yet ;-) Keep em coming! I need a creative outlet of some sorts ;-) Thanks, uh, what was your name again? Oh yeah! Blondie ;-)

Which would you rather have a nanny, a housekeeper, a cook, or a chauffeur? probably all the three at different times but if I could only hvae one it would be the housekeeper. I really detest cleaning.. I get no satisfaction from it and find it keeps me from doing what I really want to do in life.

Soup ~
How good are you when it comes to remembering people’s names?
pretty good. I used to be better but I think my grey cells are dimishing and I am not as great at it as I used to be.
Salad ~
What is the last thing that you spilled? the last of a cup of coffee at the airport in Philadelphia on the way home.

Entrée ~
I have my Mom to thank for my cook book obsession. I love reading them. Though I hvae cut back and started weeding my collection.

Dessert ~
Were you named after anyone? If not, do you know how your parents chose your name? Don't know how they chose it - but St Theresa of Avila - good Catholic name required.

A cowboy on a horse really doesn't stand a chance against a viking in a horned helmet and at least a few viking type weapons. But then again cowboy is very skilled and fast. So I guess either one could win.

Bedtime Snack ~
Are you still enjoying this game or is it too much like homework and you would like to see it go away? {Don't worry, the Bedtime Snack won't be making a weekly appearance. Unless you want it to.} NOt at all homework. I have fun answering the random questions. Keep em coming! (-:
