The lovely Beth Fish has tagged me to complete this meme which is great, because I couldn't really think of anything to write. Huzzah!
1. Remember the movie Brewster's Millions? That happens to you, except on a smaller scale. You receive a million dollars that you must spend in 30 days. However, you cannot have any assets to show for the money at the end of the month (and you can't buy something and then destroy it), you cannot waste the money, you cannot give it away, and you cannot tell anyone what you are doing. How do you ditch the dough in a month or less?
Okay, so what I would do would be to pack up all of our friends and family and travel in style. We'd stay in the best hotels, eat fabulous food, and see the wonders of the world. My destinations of choice would be: Egypt, Rome, Athens, New Zeland, Australia, and Peru. Don't ask me about booking all of these places and doing it all in only a month--I'd obviously have to find an amazing travel agent. And don't mention how exhausted we'd all be. Let's just focus on how cool it would be to experience all of that without having to worry about finances, and being able to share it with a fabulous group of people. Moving on!
2. You are locked in a toy store overnight, with no way out until it reopens in the morning. What do you play with all night?
This is a tough one. If I'm by myself I'd probably hit up the Mad Libs or word games, as I'm not a builder (see: Lego's, Lincoln Logs, etc.) or really big on imaginative play (see: dolls). If I were with other people I would have a kick-ass Game Night as I LOVE playing board games. LOVE LOVE LOVE. But seeing as how I'd be in charge--hey, this question was posed to me after all--I'd put the kibosh on Trivial Pursuit because I really don't need anyone making me feel dumb when I'm locked in a toy store all night. Or any night, really.
3. If you could have a dinner party with any three famous people, living or dead, you would be wasting your supernatural powers on hosting dinner parties. What would you do instead?
I'd have a girl's night sleepover with Vicki Iovine, Jenny Mccarthy and Heather Armstrong because dude, hanging out with those ladies would be a BLAST.
4. What's the best thing since sliced bread? Now, sliced bread ain't all that impressive, so what's the best mediocre, hum-drum improvement or advancement that has made modern life just ever so slightly more convenient for humanity, along the lines of saving yourself five seconds every time you want a piece of bread.
Oh I'd totally have to say THE SNUGGIE :-)
5. What's your best quality? The response to this question must be a simple declarative statement. You may elaborate on that statement, provided that your elaboration does not include the words "but," "however," or "although," or any other hedging, equivocating, back-sliding, gerrymandering (which is not at all appropriate in this context, but I think it should be, don't you?) or any other type of backing down from the simple declarative statement with which you began your response.
Now I'm afraid to answer for fear of Beth giving me a beat down. Um, okay, got one: I am good story-teller.
Okay, smoke if you got 'em. Fill out this meme and let me know your answers!
