a little trivia...

In response to John-Michael, I am sharing a bit of trivia about myself and since he so graciously gifted me with this tag, completely unaware of what he was getting himself into, I will do my best to make this fast and painless for everyone who reads my blog AND as my gift to you…I will not tag anyone, but do feel free to feel like you have been tagged, knowing I would be really interested if your life is as mundane as mine or if you simply need something to write about…
The deal is to provide 5 answers to these 5 questions, so here goes…

I remember you being stressed out about Eric driving, then came Kristins turn, what car was that? the mustang? pretzels & mustard, yellow mustard? or the pretzels like at the fair? your billionaire thing, I'd LOVE to travel with you, can we take Kim and Phyllis too, how fun would that be? I'd travel any where with you, no matter where we'd end up at, it will be so much fun....Love Nettie

yeah...I still stress out about the kids driving...they take more "roadtrips" than anybody I've ever seen...the price of gas has slowed them down a bit though, thankfully. We bought the Tahoe in 2003, any kind of pretzel dipped in classic yellow mustard is delicious!, and YES, if I ever become a billionaire, we'll travel and we'll shanghei Kimberly and Phyllis, everyone can pick out where they want to go...
as for myself, I REALLY want to go to Italy and soak up the culture...what FuN that would be!

okay... Italy it is. :) Fly to Atlanta and I'll pick you up and we can come back to my house, eat some Italian food http://www.justitaly.org/italy/recipes/, put on some Italian speaking tapes, figure out how to dress Italian for the night and then decide how we can get to Italy.

Since you're Just Joni, check out Just Italy .org :)

It's good to know a little more about you :)

Your job list shows you are obviously better with number work than I am !

Hugs.

oh yeah... don't look for me to be "sharing" anything. Last time I did that I dug too deep, hit water and soaked the kitchen floor! Why is it that I feel I have to tell everything? I am one more crazy senior... or at least that's what Burger King calls me since they always give me a senior discount!

Hugs around,

yeah, too bad it has to hinge on me becoming a billionaire! I think we're going to have to figure out another way...

thank you for your sharing of more of your delightful Self.

I love You, Joni.
