Sunday Survey 14

What's the worst Spaghetti Sauce?

I mean I thought since it was Organic it would be awesome... not the case. I am sorry Bertolli, your alfredo sauce is delicious and so is your ravioli, but this sauce is not!

Sunday Survey 13

I think if you asked Matt or I where we would want to live, if we could live wherever we wanted, we would both say Boone. I know I would. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about this place and long to be back there. With all these kids starting college, it made me wish that I would have taken the 7 year plan...


I'd Just As Soon Be In Boone!

Matt and I did our list separately and did not revel the list to each other until this afternoon. I found it interesting that we didn't pick the same songs, but a great deal of the same artists. My list is played all the time on my iPod, these songs make me happy. Look out for new surveys each Sunday! Also, we would love to see your survey answers! Feel free to email your answers to either Matt or I and we will defiantly post them, or post them as a comment!

Matt and I had a great day today. Rick, Frankie, Alex and Dylan came over for lunch and we had a great time visiting with them. I am now looking at a yard of Pokemon fabric for an iPod cover for Alex. I don't know which is funnier... the fact I had a yard of Pokemon fabric or that Alex actually wants it! Personally, I think it is cool and think that this cover is going to be awesome.
