Meet Me On Monday!!

Welcome to the 30th edition of 
"Meet Me On Monday!"
 
Blogging  is a funny thing...we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read  and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, "who is  this person!?"  I know them...but yet I don't know them!  I want  to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great  way for all of us to "meet" each other!

Every Sunday I will post five get to know you  questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we  can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!

"Its a great way to to meet new friends and for others to get to know me better....one Monday at a time!!!"....as quoted by the Chacogirl!! I will make this SIMPLE and FUN!!!

I have to give a shout out to Chele over at her blog Discoveries....she answered her questions in a Video!!  How cool is that??  Thanks Chele!!

I  will add a linky so we can follow who participates and get to know them  better!!  Be sure to link the POST and not just your whole blog!



Questions:

1.  Have you (only you..not a group) ever won first place in anything?
2.  Are your toes always painted (sorry guys...this question for girls only)?
3.  What color eyes do you have?
4.  Look to your left....what do you see?
5.  Soft cookies or crunchy cookies?
---------------------------------------------------------------
My Answers!

1.  Have you (only you...not a group) ever won first place in anything?
     
      In 6th Grade I won first place in Fire Prevention Poster week!  I won place in Beauty School in a competition for "Wet Set Evening Comb-out."   I also won first place in the desert contest at our family reunion...I made Strawberry Pie and the funny thing was that I didn't even bake the crust!  It was a frozen crust and I didn't know you had to cook it first!  I was newly married and we still laugh at that!





2.  Are your toes always painted (sorry guys...this question for girls only)?

      I try too but right now I am slacking!!  I took the polish off them about 2 weeks ago because they were chipping and I haven't had a chance to re-do them!  This is a good reminder to do so!


    3.  What color eyes do you have? 

         Blue!

    4.  Look to your left.....what do you see?

         I am currently in my "spot" on the couch so on my left is the fireplace and TV.


    5.  Soft cookies or crunchy cookies?

         Crunchy!!  I love when they are baked just a bit longer then normal!  I especially love crunchy Peanut Butter Cookies and Chocolate Chip!!  Yum!

    ----------------------------------------------------------------
    Time to link up and meet!!

    This is a blog hop so if you want to put the linky on your post just click the "Get the Code" at the bottom of the linky.

    Your link MUST include your Meet Me On Monday post or it will be deleted!

    Also  PLEASE either put the Meet Me On Monday button in your post or link  your post back to me.  I have found several people just posting the  questions and answers in their post and no one knows that they actually  belong to a meme and linky!

      Great questions! I especially love the cookie one... the only problem is that now I'm craving cookies and have none in the house til I bake tomorrow... and I'm too tired to be tempted to bake tonight!

      Hey! Love your blog - so much positive energy!! You're right about 'meeting' people on-line - the internet has made immediate communication so easy so although I'm down here in Australia, I'm also right in front of you!

      Amazing!!

      Happy travels for 2011!!

      Thanks for the shout out Java. I started making these little videos at the beginning of the year and thought doing it for Meet Me on Monday just added a little personality to my answers. Have a great week.

      Good morning. This is the first time I have linked up to a party...how fun to get to know other bloggers. It is also nice for me to meet someone else from PA. We use to live in Erie and State College and now we are transplants in GA.

      Good questions once again--though a couple of them made me feel guilty and now I have to go clean my kitchen and polish my nails. ;-)

      Good-moring Java & fellow Meet Me On Monday players! It's a cold, blustery day here in the Knoxville Tennessee Valley with snow, snow, snow all around.

      Java, you have gorgeous blue eyes! I always wanted blue eyes as a kid. My mother has crystal blue eyes like yours. I was blessed to have hazel-green eyes. Now that I'm older, I love my eyes. It's funny how comfortable you become in your body over time and the things you are more appreciative of.

      Lets turn this into a party, come over to my blog to see my responses. http://cathykennedystories.blogspot.com/2011/01/its-cold-snowy-this-meet-me-on-monday.html

      Happy blogging!
