1. Lake Superior University has once again published a list of words/phrases they think should be banished from the Queen's English...here's the list for 2013-
fiscal cliff, kick the can down the road, double down, job creators/creation, passion/passionate, yolo (an acronym for you only live once), spoiler alert, bucket list, trending, superfood, boneless wings, and guru
Which of these words/phrases would you most like to see banished from everyday speech and why. Go here to read more about how the words were chosen.
To be honest, I haven't heard any of them used overly much to where I've gotten tired of them. So in my opinion they should all stay.
2. When was the last time you rode a train? Where did you go?
In September, we rode a train at Disney World. It's at Animal Kingdom and goes to the the Animal Nursery called Rafiki's Planet. I have a picture of the train, however my pictures have not been loaded back on my computer since it had the virus.
3. Bagels-yay or nay? Favorite 'flavor'? Favorite topping?
Yay, but I rarely ever have one. I really think I've only ever had the plain ones with cream cheese.
4. 'Tis the season of awards shows...if you could star in a movie already made which one would you choose?
"Lake House". I love that movie and I love that house.
Both of these pictures are from the internet
5. The move towards single gender classrooms has been making the news in recent months....what say you? Do you think kids perform better if seperated by gender and are taught differently or is that discrimination? If you're a parent, is this something you'd support in regard to your own children?
I didn't know that was being discussed. I really don't have a problem either way.
6. What's your favorite thing about staying in a hotel?
Someone else cleaning up the room and making the bed.
7. Do you have a 'word' for 2013? What's the story behind your choice?
This is my word for 2013. You may read my 2 previous posts to see why. I thing while I'm here I'll add a few more thanks:

Little by little we're getting our house a little more organized. Still have a long way to go though.
It's rice to read all the things you are thankful for. Nice pictures of the lake house
ReplyDeleteThat is an adorable picture, and I love that movie!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen Lake House. I'll have to look for it. I stopped at my moms for lunch yesterday on my way to DC and she made me homemade potato soup-so good!
ReplyDeleteGreat thankful list! You're blessed to have a hubby who can cook! I hope to have one like that someday :)
ReplyDeleteOh, how I LOVE potato soup!
ReplyDeleteThey start young with those phones ;)
ReplyDeleteOhhhhh... see - this is why we're friends. I LOVE LAKE HOUSE!!!!! In my top 5 movies!
That baby is ADORABLE! Lake House is such a wonderful choice! I don't eat bagels very often, either, but plain with a little cream cheese is the only way to go for me, too.
ReplyDeleteThe house from that movie is amazing. I did enjoy that movie. I hope to join in the one word soon. Loved reading your answers.
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed your answers! What a precious baby, she looks like a little porcelain doll! Like one of the Lee Middleton dolls. Cute!
ReplyDeleteuntil next time...nel
Beautiful baby. You have much to be thankful for. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteI love having my bed made at hotels too. =)
ReplyDeleteThe baby is so sweet-and look at her cute little hat! ♥
Have a great night!
Amen on the hotel answer! I think we all pretty much agree on that one!
ReplyDeleteLove seeing pictures of your little visitor! She's so cute!!
When we bought our lake house, I bought that movie to keep there. Our house is nothing like that one though. Lol. Good luck with your SSMT goal of memorizing the whole chapter. I am excited about the challenge. I enjoy memorizing, and just hope I can keep up with it for the year.
