2. If tomorrow were warm and sunny, what activity would you do?


3. What do you think is a misconception others have about you that you'd like to clear up?

OK, so I'm a little early...


1. Are you going to watch the Super Bowl? If so, why?


***Yes, to see the national anthem, the commercials, and the halftime

Good ones, Rhonda!

1) Need you ask?! I'm watching all of it except half-time. And I'm watching the game because a) I can't wait to see what Bill Belichick comes up with this week for a game plan; and b) I really like "football" (not just Tom Brady's dimples and guys in tight pants). I've finally learned enough about the game that I can pick up plays happening on the field and understand the ramifications. It really can be a fun sport.

2) Walk all over Boston. I miss doing that.

3) That I'm a hard-nosed b%^&*. I'm not hard-nosed, I just can't stand indecision and vacillating. I do my share of whining, but generally I make my choice and live with the consequences. Just do something! (I work with a lot of planners who don't "do" anything until the grenade is about to explode. I'd rather they not be in charge of my time.)

4) Several people on this board. For their smarts, their humility, their kindness, and their sense of humor.

5) Chili rules. Sharp cheddar cheese and pepperoni on Triscuits. Spinach and artichoke dip - no crackers, just on a spoon. Even a veggie platter as long as the celery is really sweet.

1) I think so , mostly because of Donna's excitement about it.I want to cheer for her team.And then there's that thing about guys in tight pants.....

2)I'd be outside walking, runnning.Anthing just to be outside.


3)I think sometimes family memebers or others view me as weak.Think they underestimate me sometimes in that area.

4)My buddy , Leigh.She was unhappy and made some much needed changes even though they were pretty scary at the time.

5)Spicy chili, chips, veggies and dip.Oh yeah, i knew there was another reason I like to watch the game!

Thanks Rhonda!!!Fun as always!!!

1. Are you going to watch the Super Bowl? If so, why?

Yes. GO PATS!

2. If tomorrow were warm and sunny, what activity would you do?

Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, walk, I think you get the idea.

3. What do you think is a misconception others have about you that you'd like to clear up?

That all I think about is sex...not true at all!

4. Who is someone you've come to admire in the last year or so (not family member)?

Our very own Princess. She amazes me daily with her great attitude.

5. What's your favorite Super Bowl or other TV event heavy snack/meal?

Homemade chili, homemade salsa. Which is exactly what we're having.

1. Are you going to watch the Super Bowl? If so, why?

Not without a gun pointed at my head. No pro football. No way.

2. If tomorrow were warm and sunny, what activity would you do?

I would take a long walk in the sunshine and try not to get too muddy.

3. What do you think is a misconception others have about you that you'd like to clear up?

I don't deal well with groups of people, especially in person, especially in new situations and I'm a bit aloof to the point of extreme introversion. It leaves the impression that I'm either not all there upstairs (a man actually asked my DH once if I were mentally retarded because I was so quiet) or that I'm disinterested. Rarely is that the case. While it may be argued that I am not quite all there upstairs, if I were disinterested, I wouldn't be there. It takes me quite a while to get to know someone and open up and relax. Once I do start talking, you may well wish I hadn't.

4. Who is someone you've come to admire in the last year or so (not family member)?

It's a tie for me. 1) Jamie Lee Curtis. I admire the way she has come out and told women of her age that this is the reality of life. This is where you go when your body is done being young and perfect. By the way, I think she looked absolutely fabulous at the Golden Globes. 2) Our own JazzerDeb. She is so comfortable with herself and her body and she inspires me.

5. What's your favorite Super Bowl or other TV event heavy snack/meal?

Tacos or burritos are a big hit at our house. Easy, filling and fun to make and eat.

Thanks Rhonda, so much heavy thinking this early in the morning...

1. Are you going to watch the Super Bowl? If so, why?

No. I don't think they show it in Italy. and even if they do, I'm not even sure who's playing this year.

2. If tomorrow were warm and sunny, what activity would you do?

Bicycling. Definitely!

3. What do you think is a misconception others have about you that you'd like to clear up?

Um. I have no idea how to answer that one.

4. Who is someone you've come to admire in the last year or so (not family member)?

My fiance's sister. She has been taking care of their father night and day for years and holding things together while she does so. I consider her pretty amazing. And, she's officially not "family" yet... ;-)

5. What's your favorite Super Bowl or other TV event heavy snack/meal?

popcorn with real butter

1. Are you going to watch the Super Bowl? If so, why?

I don't think I'll be sitting watching the whole game but I'm sure there will be dial flipping and checking on the score to see whether a. Donna is throwing shoes and b. if DD will be able to talk to her BF anytime in the near future. He's a huge Pats fan!

2. If tomorrow were warm and sunny, what activity would you do?

Definitely taking the 4 mile walk along the boardwalk in Long Beach and sitting and watching and listening to that ocean.

3. What do you think is a misconception others have about you that you'd like to clear up?

I think people would think that I'm stand offish/and or snobbish in social situations. I don't do well in large groups of people, but in fact I'm very shy and awkard in large group situations.

4. Who is someone you've come to admire in the last year or so (not family member)?

A friend of mine who came through a very rocky marriage & divorce and how well she handled herself and daughter through it all.

5. What's your favorite Super Bowl or other TV event heavy snack/meal?

Love the salsa and Tostidos and buffalo wings

Thanks Rhonda! Always a fun Friday treat!

1. Are you going to watch the Super Bowl? If so, why? Nope not into football here. But if they guys decided to watch I will sit for the half time show.

2. If tomorrow were warm and sunny, what activity would you do? Probley get outside and try to deice our driveway. Its a mess here.

3. What do you think is a misconception others have about you that you'd like to clear up? Gee, I do not know.

4. Who is someone you've come to admire in the last year or so (not family member)? Another blank. I am so out of the loop of things.

5. What's your favorite Super Bowl or other TV event heavy snack/meal?

Snack if at a party, spinch dip, or taco dip

I NEVER eat spinach & artichoke with anything BUT a spoon. And if a spoon isn't available and only a cracker is...I use it as a spoon.

It's an illness.... :)

1. Are you going to watch the Super Bowl? If so, why? Maybe part of it. Only because dh will be watching it also.

2. If tomorrow were warm and sunny, what activity would you do? AND NO SNOW? If that were the case, I'd hop on my bike and take her for a cruise! But if the snow were still there, maybe I'd take a nice long walk with dh and then when we get back we would build a snowman.

3. What do you think is a misconception others have about you that you'd like to clear up?

When I concentrate I have a look on my face that apparrently makes others think I'm crabby. Please don't assume that.

4. Who is someone you've come to admire in the last year or so (not family member)? I'll have to say my good friend Cathy who I just had lunch with Wed. She had breast cancer 6 years ago and just this past year they found spots on her lungs. She has had her ovaries removed recently and is being put on a drug that will stop all estrogen in her body. They are trying to prevent the cancer from growing because once it does they said there is nothing they can do for her. You'd never know this was happening to this wonderful woman. Its never been "about her". Its always been about her family, kids, friends, and God. She never feels sorry for herself and is always there to try to help others in their problems. She's an inspiration to the whole world. God bless her.

5. What's your favorite Super Bowl or other TV event heavy snack/meal? I don't have any, I don't like to eat heavy while watching TV. I snack, and my favorite thing to snack on now are pistachio nuts...yum yum!
