Last week I got 2 very similar e-mails - one from my dear sis, Dawnae & one from my adorable friend & neighbor Kim - thanks guys! Each e-mail listed 40-60 questions for you to answer & then essentially forward to your friends to do the same - here's what the message said -
"Welcome to the 2007 edition of getting to know your Friends. What you are supposed to do is copy (not forward) this entire e-mail and paste it onto a new e-mail that you'll send. Change all the answers so they apply to you, and then send this to your friends including the person who sent it to you.
The theory is that you will learn a lot of little things about your friends, that you might not have known!"
Well - I decided this e-mail might be a fun blog post, so rather than forward it to a bunch of people in my address book, I am choosing to answer it in my blog. (As a side note to all my blogging friends - if you are wondering what you are going to do for your next post - here you are! Just copy & paste & plug in your own answers!)

kdaThis was a great idea LaRae! love the picture too. Who knew we would be able to have an Andy Warhol original of ourselves with a click of the mouse!
This was a fun way to have a glimpse into your life...Thanks for sharing this. I'll have to do the 'copy / paste' thing and add it to my blog

Ok - I posted my questions...now you have to read them!! =)
Janet
Ok, cherries over blueberries? That was a surprise to me...and rootbeer? That's good to know.
Janae - you're really surprised about cherries over blueberries? If I had to choose between a cherry or blueberry pie, cherry crisp or blueberry crisp, or cherry or blueberry topping for cheesecake, I would choose cherry every time! It's not that I don't like blueberries - because I do. I guess I would choose blueberry pancakes over cherry pancakes (is there such a thing?)- or blueberry muffins over cherry muffins. And I think rootbeer is great - although I like Dr. Pepper a lot too!
I think cherry pancakes sound good! although I havent had a pancake in months....
LaRae,
Janet sent me a link to her blog, and there was yours, too. It was SO fun peaking into your world! I can't believe your son is one already. I also can't believe my son is almost 19! How is that possible when I'm only 28?
