2008 Edition of Getting To Know Your Friends

I saw this on my friend Joy's blog and thought I'd share some fun facts:

What time did you get up this morning? I finally forced myself to get up and deal with the kids at about 6:30. They'd been up since 5:30, but Eliza was a night owl last night, so I really was awake since about 4 am.
Diamonds or pearls? I like diamonds better than pearls, but I'm not really into gems. Just the one on my ring finger!
Last movie you saw in the theater? Enchanted (with Adam and Eve on Christmas Day!)
What is your favorite TV show right now? Lost and Supernanny are all I watch lately, plus the Today Show in the morning when the kids aren't watching PBS.
What do you usually have for breakfast? Cereal--with 4 kids under 5, it's quick and easy.
What is your middle name? I don't have one.
What foods do you dislike? I don't like foods that are too spicy--so a lot of foreign foods are on my dislike list.
What is your favorite CD at the moment? Amy Grant Greatest Hits is what I like, but usually we listen to what the boys like--an oldies CD called Rock Around the Clock and the Beach Boys Sounds of Summer.
What kind of car do you drive? 2000 Ford Windstar
Favorite sandwich? Ham, bacon and swiss melt. Yummy!
What is your favorite thing to wear? Anything comfortable--jeans mostly and T-shirts, but dressing up makes me feel prettier.
If you could go anywhere in the world for a vacation, where would you go? Hawaii, I think. I've never been outside the continental U.S., except one trip to Mexico in college for an Intensive Spanish program I did.
What color is your bathroom? Tan and white (that is, the bathroom we are using at my parents' house).
Favorite brand of clothing? I don't have a favorite brand, just whatever fits, but I did find that I do like Tommy Hilfiger classic boot cut jeans.
Where would you retire? Somewhere without snow.
Most memorable birthday? 16th, and it's not necessarily a good memory.
Favorite sport to watch? Gymnastics and football, kind of weird combination, I know.
