My Mom did this meme on her blog. I thought it sounded like fun, so I asked her to interview me :)

1. What are the rewards you have received from homeschooling your children?
It is rewarding to watch them learn something they've been strugging with. It is also nice that the boys can see Doug on his days off. He works such a crazy schedule.

2. What are your favorite things to do as a family?
In the winter we like to play games together. Apples to Apples is a new favorite. We also like card games.

3. What is your favorite movie of all time?
Return to Me

4. Who is your favorite author and why?
I have to pick just 1? I don't have A favorite author, but I'll just talk about one. Right now I am really enjoying Diana Gabaldon. She wrote the Outlander series. She does a fantastic job of weaving a story, drawing you in, developing the characters and plot and using historical facts.

I also like Debbie Macomber, Nelson DeMille, James Patterson, Karen Kingsbury, and many, many other authors.

5. What would be your dream vacation?
Two weeks alone with Doug. We'd go to a luxury cabin on a lake in the mountains. It would be sunny and warm, but not too hot. A nice boat and a hot tub would be necessary :) I'd like to do it right now please :)

For those of you who might want to be interviewed, here are the directions:

1. Leave me a comment saying, “Interview me.”
2. I will respond by emailing you five questions. (I get to pick the questions and I will need your e-mail.).
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

I was tagged by Rose/Jagsfan from the Sonlight forums. And I am finally getting around to doing it :)

1. I love to read fluffy fiction. I especially love books that are in a series. I love a good story, cozy mysteries, espionage and suspense.

2. I love to bake hundreds of dozens of cookies at Christmas time. This year I am only making a little bit ;)

3. Vacuuming makes me happy. So does wiping the kitchen counters.

4. I don't mind doing laundry, as long as I don't have to put it away.

5. I am going to NC for a 6 hour Christmas party with emaginary friends, some of whom I've never met. I will drive 3 hours to PA, get in the car and ride along with my friend and her kids while we pick up another friend, then continue driving to VA to stay with another friend overnight. We will then get up early in the morning, drive an hour to another friend's house, get on the "fun bus", pick more people up on the way, and drive 4 more hours to the party destination. Then we'll reverse all that, taking time to be lazy at the VA house all day Sunday. And I'm really looking forward to it!

6. When Doug isn't home, I never sleep on his side of the bed. In fact, his pillows and covers are not even disturbed.

I am not going to tag you. But if you've read this and want to do it, consider yourself tagged, and please leave a comment saying you did it so I can go read how quirky you are :)
