QotD: Reach Out

Is there a friend who you owe a phonecall or email? What's stopping you?

well off the top of my head i don't think so, but i'm always behind on phone calls because i hate the bloody phone but i am trying harder lately to make calls/answer the phone. 

normally what stops me calling a friend is simply being busy - life is a whirlwind and i don't always slow down to take time out for my mates.

QotD: Let's Go There

What's your favorite vacation destination?

this is a tricksy answer because in all honesty, aside from all the fun-family vacations *cough* we took when i was a kid, i have only been on probably 2, 3 real vacations.  one was my honeymoon to new orleans in '03 and i loved it there and wished we had more time to explore.  another one was to catalina island (a few times) but these were when i was in highschool (but on my own with my grandparents).  i love catalina, its been 10 years since my last trip there, but it still holds a place in my heart for being so beautiful and special.  hopefully it hasn't changed much.

other vacations have been on the heals of a business trip, where i went alone or with my husband - orlando, san diego (although i've been there numerous times on solo trips to the grandparents for summers), and canada this past august.  they were wonderful times, but not much vacationing as i had to work. 

i would love to take a cruise - an alaskan one, crazy eh? i hate the heat and love the cold/snow so i think this would be perfect!    i want to travel to the mediterranian as well.  having visited many spots in europe as a child, my curiousity grows at the thought of returning as an adult with my own family.

QotD: Better on the Big Screen

If you could watch any movie on the big screen right at this moment, what would it be?

hell i don't even know what movies are out right now.. but i would have loved to travel back in time and watch casablanca on premier night!

QoTD: What to save (stolen several days late!)

If you could only save one thing in a house fire (thing, not person), what would it be and why?

Probably it would be our computer - server to be specifc.  every photo we've taken, every video is on there and i would hate to lose those. 

Just asked husband and he said it would be either our wedding albums or our server - awe, how sweet is that!!

QotD: Middle Name

What's your middle name?  Is there a story or history behind it?

Anne

My mother's middle name is Anne and my grandmother's (paternal)  name is Ann (Anna Lou).  That's pretty much why I am Anne!
