ONE Random Dozen - Updated to Explain!

I do believe that our dear sweet Lid has a bit of a sadistic streak! Almost every week the R.D. has a question where we are asked to list one [fill-in-the-blank]. And most of the time, some of us "cheat" and put more than one answer. I can just hear her maniacal laughter. . . ."I'll give you a whole dozen of those, my pretties!"


1. What is one really fast, know-by-heart "go-to" meal to fix in a pinch?

Chick-fil-A. Hamburgers on the grill.

2. What is one item you won't leave home without? (Purse and license do not count.)

Cell phone. (I would add a book, but that would be more than one item. Sigh.)

3. Where is one place you never tire of visiting?

My mother-in-law's home.

4. Share one factoid of your family's history.

We have the same wedding anniversary as my husband's brother, just 11 years apart!

5. Complete this sentence: "Once upon a time I ...."

. . .bemoaned how thin I was and how hard it was to gain weight. Sigh. Oh, for the metabolism of a 20-year-old!

6. If you could win a one year's supply of anything, what would it be?

Sweet tea from Chick-fil-A. Or from Rudy's Bar-B-Q.

7. "One quirky thing you may not know about me is ...."

I like having my fingernails squeezed.

Update to explain what this is: Grasp a finger with the thumb and forefinger of the opposite hand, placing the thumb on top. Gently squeeze the two fingers together, which puts pressure on the finger in the middle. It feels better if someone else does it.

I know. I'm weird. Don't ask me how I discovered it; I was probably holding hands with my man and he inadvertently squeezed the ends of my fingers!

8. You have one dollar in your pocket. What will you buy?

This gum.

9. "One thing that always makes me laugh is ...."

This is one of my favorites from Mark Lowry.



10. What is one thing you could do today to help yourself reach a personal goal?

Figure out how to exercise without getting a migraine. (I already do Mark Lowry's version of sit-ups!)

11. What is one thing you could do today to bless someone else?

Write a note of appreciation and mail it.

12. What is one thing you're looking forward to soon?

The end of school - only 8 more days!


Well, I think I did it! And not that I would stoop to revenge or anything, this is especially for Lidna, since she loves musicals so much! Ahem.



Go visit 2nd Cup of Coffee and see if some other folks kept their answers to just one thing
