IT'S BACK!! Let the Saturday Circle Games commence!

In lieu of my recent post this week and also inspired by my dear friend at Written Permission, I felt it was time to bring back Saturday's circle game.  Grab your spouses, grab your friends, and let's play!

I'm keeping it light this week.  I figure we gotta ease back into it.

Please tell us about your absolute favorite I-can't-live-without purchase. 

 

Saturday Circle Game

It's been a year since T and I bought our new TV and decided to join the world of cable. DVR is amazing. So I want to know:

If you had to narrow your TV viewing to TWO shows, which two would you pick?

Saturday Circle Game

Sorry, this question is slightly indulgent. It was inspired by a recent inservice presenter that was excellent and the movie "The Freedom Writers". (We watched it last night, and it was excellent.)

Who were the three educators that impacted you the most? Why?

Saturday Circle Game

I want to know...

Have you ever been on TV? If so, for what?

Saturday Circle Game

It's a lazy Saturday morning so far. So the following seems like a fitting question.

What's your favorite way to relax?

Saturday Circle Game

If you were to go back to school, what institute would you attend? (Assume, of course, that we are all brilliant, admission is guaranteed, and funds are no object.)

Saturday Circle Game

It's BACK!! I know it's not technically Saturday, so please excuse the tardiness. This question is in honor of the wedding we attended tonight. So much fun, but it'll take my feet some time to forgive me for the shoes I forced them into.

What is your favorite wedding reception song? The one that's going to get you groovin' on the dance floor. Or feel free to answer the opposite. What is your least favorite reception song, sure to leave you glued to your seat?

Saturday Circle Game

I am cheating today...kinda
I have played the circle game so often lately (awesome) that I have run out of my own questions.
So I have stolen this one from my "Go Ask Anyone!" cards...they rock.

If you were going to be appointed as U.S. Ambassador to a foreign country, which one would you want that to be?

Labor Day Weekend - Partial Circle Game

It contained everything labor day should have...family, friends, football, and fireworks. I now feel that fall has arrived and I love it! Anybody else feel the same or are you lamenting over the end of the summer?

Sunday Circle Game

I'm still in vacation mode, as I assume some of you are as well. So I decided that the circle game should be related to travelling.

In 1997 my dad visited his 50th state when he, my mom, and I travelled to Hawaii the first time. I think this is a cool accomplishment, and I hope that I too can one day say that I have experienced all 50 states. So here's the question: Approximately how many states have you visited and which one is your favorite?

I had problems of thinking of all fifty states, so I have provided a list here.

(This picture is from our recent Hawaii trip, not our previous one. And yes, B-rent, I swear I took this picture and the ones below in the vacation update.)

Saturday Circle Game (Early)

We are leaving tomorrow for a two week vacation. Most likely I will not be blogging much while we are gone. However, you never know, so stop by once in a while over the next few days.

I did want to get in the Saturday Circle Game before the craziness of vacation preparation begins. I have made a few people answer this question already, but humor me and post your answers anyway so that other people can enjoy them.

Question: If you had two other lives to live what would you do? My answer will be in the comments section.

Saturday Circle Game

Last week the fam and my very good friend, M from Trophy Life, went to a new, wonderful breakfast place. Once done at the new, wonderful breakfast place we were standing around in the parking lot talking about cars M should test drive and consider buying. Audi TTs, Camry Solaras, and various convertibles were discussed. Then Uncle D threw out the possibility of a Buick LeSabre. The Buick LeSabre is probably a very good car - however, not one that many 20 - 30 somethings are rushing out to buy...at least not that I am aware of. From there the conversation turned to possible vanity plates for M if she did pick the Le Sabre as her car of the future.

So, in honor of our discussion... what would your vanity plate be?

Saturday Circle Game

School is almost out! And my thoughts turn to lazy days that include multiple nap times, lunch with friends, and spending time with family. So the circle game questions for this week...

What are your plans for this summer?

My response will be in the comments section.

Circle Game Saturday

This question is in honor of Two/Dos Pretzels new obsession over hard boiled eggs.

What would you choose if you only could eat one thing for dinner for the rest of your life?

I would have to pick quiche. It involves eggs and you can put different things into so that you have a little variety now and then.

Circle Game Saturday

A dear and beloved friend is moving out of the heartland soon. This circle game is in honor of her upcoming transition.

What place in the world would you like to live for a period of time? Maximum of four locations, please :).

My locations will be in the comments section.

Circle Game Saturday

I spent 30 minutes of this gorgeous day inside cleaning our shower. I got out the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser, got out the clorox (sp?) shower cleaner, and even got the old toothbrush out to scrub the caulking. It needed it, but I hated doing it. In fact, cleaning is always something I am glad I did but never enjoy doing.

In honor of my sparkling (kind of) clean shower...here is the circle game question. Format is different. It's fill-in the blank this time.

"I'd rather kiss a pig than clean _____________________."

For me...I'd rather kiss a pig than clean my refrigerator. It's messy, cumbersome, and it never seems like a good time to do it.

P.S. As a side note...I badly burned a pot this week for the first time in my life. I didn't put much water on the green beans and then covered them with a lid. 30 minutes later when I dished out the beans the bottom of the pot was BLACK! We were able to scrub off the charred mess, so the pot looks normal. Is it still safe to use? I didn't melt off any protective covering that will poison us or anything, did I?

Circle Game Saturday

My birthday is soon. I might blog about it later because it's a weird one as far as ages go, but in honor of getting older here is my circle game question...What age do you feel? Forget your chronological age...

Me? Energy-wise I feel 23 years. My self-image unfortunately does not match my reality. Is that normal?

Circle Game Saturday

This question is in honor of friends Missy, Sherri, Michelle, Tamara, and my SiL, Jessica , who all completed the C. half marathon today. *You all made me VERY proud! Good job, ladies!*

Question: What is your proudest achievement?

My answer...it differs depending on my mood...but starting graduate school is my current answer.

Circle Game Saturday

We skipped a week, so I had to make sure we played this weekend. Don't forget the rules...Everyone has to play. Even you circle game haters. Sticking to the theme of domesticity...

What is an item in your kitchen that you could not live without?

For me, it's my automatic egg boiler that my MIL (mother-in-law) got me a few years ago. As an egg lover, it is absolutely wonderful. I get 18 eggs at a time; 9 stay raw and 9 go into the Egg Head (that is truly it's name). The part I love...you have to poke a tiny hole in the eggs before you boil them, so you always know which are cooked and which are not. Instantly I have breakfast for a few days, all the ingredients I need to quickly whip up egg salad, and an automatic salad garnish. Love it! Your turn.

Circle Game Saturday - One Day Late

Sorry it's a day late - but I had a good excuse. I was celebrating a beloved friend's birthday.

So here it is...

In honor of St. Patrick's day....What are your family roots? German, Italian, Hungaria (inside joke - let's just say that it's a good thing I teach Math and not geography)? And...Do you have any traditions that stem from family origins? This answer may have several parts to it and feel free to share more than one.

I am a European mutt. On my mom's side I have Irish, Welsh, Swedish, and I think a little French. On my dad's menno side we have a little French (I think), German, and some Russian. Any one of my family members is free to add, delete, or correct this list. As far as traditions...my cousin A. makes some YUMMY swiebach (sp?) - type of bread and my uncle D. always makes great pfernessee (sp?) for Christmas. There might be some more - but that's currently all I can think of.
