I"ve Been Tagged ~ Can this be interesting?

J, over at Babies and Battlefields tagged me for this meme!


1. What is your current obsession?

I really don't think I have one. Oh I suppose Appletinis. I enjoy them immensely. So much that once at 10am I actually thought about opening one up. I didn't however, geesh, I'm not THAT obsessed.

2. What is your weirdest obsession?

Weird? Me? Ummmm does the appletinis count as weird. Also I obsess over certain things that I can not change. My friends know this and unfortunately have to listen to it over and over and over again.
3. Recall a fond childhood memory.
I loved playing hide and go seek outside in the summer time. We'd play with neighbourhood kids and we loved to play at this one house where the grass was never cut. We'd call it the tall grass.
4. What's for dinner?
I am not too sure. Usually I call Gino and ask him what he would like. Maybe we'll have pork chops.
5. What did you eat for your last meal?
For breakfast today I had a tea and three oatmeal cookies and a butter tart at my sister's house. And I wonder why I can't lose weight!
6. What's the last thing you bought?
I got the girls some new tank tops and Abby a pair of flip flops.
7. What are you listening to right now?
Toopy and Bino is on the t.v. and Abby and C are talking about things. It's cute. I love listening to the girls discussions.
8. What do you think of the person who tagged you?
I don't know J very well, yet, but I do know I love her blog. I think she is sweet and a real good mommy and that she has a great sense of humour.
9. If you could have a house fully paid for , fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I really like where I am now, so I'd have to say right here. I'd be extremely jubilant if this house were paid off.
10. If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?
Really?? Who made this question?? Only an hour? Ummmm well I guess I'd go to a hot tropical beach in the Cayman Islands.
11. Which language do you want to learn?
Italian, since that is what my hubby speaks. Then I could finally understand him when he has conversations with his relatives.
12. What's your favourite quote (for now)?
" Judge lest thee be judged"
13. What is your favourite colour?
PURPLE
14. What is your favourite piece of clothing in your own wardrobe?
Honestly...anything that fits right and doesn't make my big jelly belly hang out. I do love my beige Capri's.
15. What is your dream job?
I have always wanted to own and operate my own respite group home. That way I can help other families and have a place for Joey to go as well, where I could see him and make sure he's alright.
16. What is your favourite magazine?
Right now it's PEOPLE, it used to be Parents, but I think I've read just about every parenting article there is, or so it seems like it. People is good, I can catch up on all the celebrity gossip as well as read some touching stories.
17. If you had a $100.00 dollars right now, what would you spend it on?
Defiantly a haircut. Oh my gosh, my hair is terribly thick and I haven't been out to cut it. I need new high lites as well.
18. Describe your personal style.
Frumpy...ughh hate to say it, but alas it's true. I go for comfy and cozy . I like tank tops and capris , jeans, shirts. Nothing too fancy at all.
19. What are you going to do after this?
I have to go pick up Damien from school, then I am going to stop at the bank , get out some money and go to Zellers to buy a couple of presents as well have two birthday parities this weekend.
20. What are your favourite films?
If by films, you mean movies...then it's Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, Ferris Bueller's Day Off..you catching the theme? Also I love I Am Sam and The Green Mile.
21. What is your favourite fruit.
Bananas.
22. What inspires you?
A few things actually. I am inspired by people who adopt. I think it's wonderful and it's something I have always wanted to do. I am inspired by those who chose to have big families. My friends who are risk takers inspire me, my friends who are also foster parents, and my friends who listen and support me inspire me to be the best that I can be, and of course my family, my husband..children..inspire each day..bring me up when I am down..their smiles, their hugs and their unconditional love.
23. What are your favourite books?
I do love the Twilight series. Also The Lake House by James Patterson and The Stand and The Talisman by Stephen King
24. Do you collect anything?
Yes, angels and bears..and ummm do kids count??
25. Any advice from bitter experience?
YES! A few things..but here are two. 1. Keep your mouth closed, don't gossip you never ever know who is going to over hear you. 2. Don't foster babies unless you can bear to give them away after raising them from newborn til...??
26. What makes you follow a blog?
Initially what draws me to the blog is the title. I like honest to goodness blogging and something with humour to make me smile. I like heartfelt posts and honesty.
So there you have it. Me in a nutshell. Now I think I am going to tag....
1. Kel @ Hesitant Housewife
2.Keri @ Life of Logan
3. Allison @ Misadventures in Baby Raising and
4. Susie @ Susie's Homemade

Loved this, Lisa. I feel I know you so much better. You're such a wonderfully inspiring woman - every time I visit here I feel my spirits rise - because you write from the heart and the lovely pics of the kids are so heartwarming.
Love and hugs
