1. With which character from Winnie the Pooh do you identify and why? Uh, Not sure on this one. 2. Do you enjoy camping? When was the last time you camped? Yes, I enjoy my version of camping, in the travel trailer with all the amenities. Last time we camped was last summer we went to Lake Havasu in AZ. Can't wait to go again! First trip this year is scheduled for Memorial Day. 3. What is the most recent cookbook purchase?

Do you enjoy reading? What is your favorite genre? I have not had time to read in so long. Something I want to take up again someday. 7. What is your favorite number? My favorite number is 11. That is the jersey number my daughter always gets for soccer and the month she was born! 8. Has your shoe size changed since WLS? What are the size differences? My shoes are loose now, I used to buy a size 11 wide width, now, the shoes I just bought were size 10 in regular width!! Yay!! 9. Do you use fabric softener? Liquid or dryer sheets? I ONLY use BOUNCE Febreze dryer sheets 10. How often do you do laundry? Number of loads? Lets see..... this question amazes everyone when I answer. I do laundry every day! At least 6 loads! It is ugly! My laundry pile never seems to go down either.....

Okay...have to admit, #10 amazed me too!!! How many kids do you have?? I've got 4 boys and do at least 2 daily - 7 days a week or I get behind....and most days I do 3-4... sometimes more... Susan

Ok, so here is the REALLY scary part of this..... I have an 18yr old girl who does her own laundry! A 15 yr old boy who does his own laundry, so that leaves my husband, my 13 yr old daughter and myself who seem to generate WAY too much laundry! My 13 yr old daughter changes 2 times a day, My husband smokes, so once he has worn ANYTHING or we have gone out to his smoking room (the garage) then anything we were stinks too! So even if it is a jacket that would normally not be washed everytime, it MUST be washed otherwise everything smells like smoke.....eeewww!!!! Plus, my 13 yr old constantly has friends sleep over so I am always washing bedding too!!!! Boy, sounds like I am a really clean freak...with that was relected in my house!!

MERCY!!!!!! Don't blame you though....gotta keep that smoke smell down.... Susan

1. With which character from Winnie the Pooh do you identify and why? Before WLS it would've been Eeyore...always under a raincloud and just happy when someone noticed him. Now I'm TIGGER!!! That's T - I - Double Guh - ERRRRRRRR!!!! I love his bounciness and go get'em attitude. 2. Do you enjoy camping? When was the last time you camped? I love to camp!!! It's tons of fun to get out in nature away from the phones, computers, tv, video games, etc. Unfortunately, I haven't been in a long time. Last year....I think in the spring. We are hoping to go camping soon. 3. What is the most recent cookbook purchase? It's Rachel Ray's 365 days No Repeats. Good one!!! I want more of them!!! 4. What color is your cell phone? Boring black. 5. Do you subscribe to any magazines? Which ones? Nope. Never read them, so why spend the $$. I'd rather buy books. 6. Do you enjoy reading? What is your favorite genre? LOVE to read. My favorite genre is historical fiction - love reading about Revolutionary times, Civil War era, the 20's etc. Books with those settings are sooooo goood!!! Also read a lot of Christian fiction. 7. What is your favorite number? 7 8. Has your shoe size changed since WLS? What are the size differences? I've gone from wearing an 8-8 1/2 to 7 1/2 - 8. Depends on the shoe... 9. Do you use fabric softener? Liquid or dryer sheets? Yes... liquid 10. How often do you do laundry? Number of loads? Daily. At least 2 loads, often 3-4 loads...depends on what's been going on and which rooms I'm cleaning.

1. With which character from Winnie the Pooh do you identify and why? Probably Kanga...always trying to keep my little Roo's out of trouble and taking care of them. 2. Do you enjoy camping? When was the last time you camped? I have not camped since I was young. I just told Dave last week that I want to buy a tent to camp in our backyard or my sisters with the kids. He didn't say we COULDN'T get one, so maybe we will this year. 3. What is the most recent cookbook purchase? I love Church and organization cookbooks. Tried and true recipes. I wanted to order our County Fair Cookbook at 4-H Ag Days at the Mall last week, but didn't. Have no idea what other cookbooks I have bought recently. I usually get my recipes from allrecipes.com, so I don't waste my $$$ on cookbooks anymore. 4. What color is your cell phone? I have a Red Razr. Love it. 5. Do you subscribe to any magazines? Which ones? Yep...Family Fun, Parenting, Ladies Home Journal, Readers Digest and Guidepost (the last two are subscriptions my MIL gets us each Christmas). I pick up In Touch every Friday, but don't have the $$$ to shell out for an annual subscription to it. Dave and I both like that one. 6. Do you enjoy reading? What is your favorite genre? I'm not a very fast reader, so I don't really enjoy it. Takes me too long to read a book and don't have time with the kids. If I do buy a book, it is Jackie Collins. However, I bought her last one in the series I was reading right after it came out...when I was pregnant with Megan...and I still have not read it. She turned two last month. I do audiobooks a good bit. In the audiobooks I love romance, mystery, romatic thrillers...Danielle Steel, Barbara Taylor Bradford, Mary Higgins Clark, Fern Michaels, James Patterson, Nicholas Sparks...authors like that. 7. What is your favorite number? I don't know that I have one. I like 105 (my birthday is 5/10) and 134 (my cashier number years ago when I worked at a grocery store) 8. Has your shoe size changed since WLS? What are the size differences? They aren't as big, but I was an 11W before, now those are just a tad loose, rather than tight. They don't make 10 1/2's, and 10's are too small. 9. Do you use fabric softener? Liquid or dryer sheets? Yep, I use liquid with each wash. 10. How often do you do laundry? Number of loads? I try to do the flylady thing and do a load a day, but today I am on my 4th load to get the germies out of everything. Good questions!!! Thanks Susan.
