Today's Question(s):
Yesterday we found out the "shouldn't miss spots in your town"

So today we are being visited by the "Gotta see this Fairy"

So tell us which one famous tourist attraction or wonder of the world that you have NOT seen, that you would like her to take you to ? Hawaii


Bonus Question:

They say you can pick your friends but not your family

So I have to ask do you have any family members that are "different", "odd"or "a little off" ?
What family doesn't? lol
Are there family members that you avoid? Not really "avoid", but just take as long as possible to talk to them.


Extra Credit Question:


How would you describe the way your house is decorated ?
(Traditional, Modern,Country, Eclectic, Worldly etc) It looks good and it fits. lol

Does the way it is decorated match your personality ? It's a comfortable look so I guess so.


Just for Fun:


How far in advance of leaving for a Vacation do you start packing ? About a week ahead my wife doesn't start packing as such, but starts getting things together in little stacks out of the way.
What was the last "fad" you took part in ? I have no idea! Unless it was my pet rock back in the 70s. lol I don't do fads.

Does the way it is decorated match your personality ? - Hmmm.. I'll take the fifth on that one..

Tourist attraction?
Empire State Building is first one to come to mind.

House decoration?
Eclectic. (kind of what they are now terming "transitional." Does it fit my personality? kinda, though I would probably prefer "antiquey, Victorian or maybe "cottage" or something like that if I were single. My husband prefers a more contemporary look. So eclectic, transitional is kind of our compromise.

Pack for a vacation?
Last minute

Good Morning Karla...

I would like to see more of the United States if I could...but, dh is not a 'road trip' kinda guy!! Now if I could get on a plane and go anywhere, it would be to see Tuscany!! Aaaahh...Italy!!


I usually start packing about a week before leaving on a trip...deciding what I'll need, washing clothes, folding, etc.

The latest "fad" that I've taken part in is Facebook...I'm having a great time there...I love it!! Not as much as City Data of course...but, I do spend a good amount of time on it! I especially like putting albums together to share with friends.

Have a great Monday everyone....
