I've seen this done on Seriously Shellie's blog, Tammy with Time Flies, and Jan's blog. (I typed up this post the day after I saw it on Shellie's blog and people kept using it, so I kept adding them on. And I know I forgot someone else who did it, but I have been too scatterbrained lately to remember who it was. Sorry!) I figured since you will be missing me immensely over the next nine days while I am gone I would do a blog post that never ends.
Here's how it works:
I'm going to ask a question. The first commenter answers my question, and then chooses a question to ask the next commenter. The next commenter answers that question, and writes a question for the next commenter. And so on. If you start missing me while I'm gone (yeah, right) click over and answer the next question in the comment section.
Here's my question:
What is your dream vacation?

One that comes with a maid, a chef, an interior decorator (to decorate my house while I'm gone), and a personal coach. Other than that, it doesn't matter where I am, as long as it has good weather and my family is with me!
If you had any magical power, what would it be?
Have fun in Paris Erin!!!
Omniscience? Is that a magical power?

Robbing a Bank
Is that a rule?
What is your favorite breakfast cereal?
I'm boring...I like Corn Flakes, with just a spoonful of sugar.
Is Motherhood everything you expected it to be?
Oh it is alot more than I thought it would be in many ways. It is so hard at many times but very rewarding.
If you had to do something over again what would it be and why???
I would have put more effort into my schooling!
What would you pick as your last meal?
My last meal would definitely be my hubby's fried chicken with mashed red potatoes and applesauce and big fat piece of chocolate cake for dessert.
What's the most embarrassing thing you've done in public?
HAVE SO MUCH FUN ERIN!!
I would choose tacos (with all the toppings), enchiladas, guacamole, corn chips and salsa.
What is your favirote book--you know the one that you read over and over and never get tired of.
My favorite book that I've read over and over is "Scarlet." The sequel to "Gone with The Wind." I guess I just needed a happy ending.
If someone pulls out in front of you in their car. What do you do?
I'll often say something snarky under my breath. My kids laugh at that. I don't usually have road rage issues.
How many speeding tickets have you gotten?
three...all "pre-marital"...lol
Would you cry to try and get out of a ticket?
No, I just try to be super polite and apologetic.
Have a great trip Erin....
What's something you love to do that you haven't done (at least very much) since you had children?
Uh oh. I knew I would ge a kids question! Can't answer it. :)
Would you rather die by fire or by drowning?
I'll answer the kid question. I would like to go on more dates with my husband. We were married for 4 years before we had our first child, so we had lots:)
Erin, I just saw your JDRF ad on your blog. Did you know that Adam has Type 1 diabetes since he was 5?
I'll pass the "Would you rather die by fire or drowning?" question to the next person.
Drowning. Even though I am scared of the water....Fire just seems so cruel.
If you were able to invent something, what would it be?
I'd invent a dishwasher emptier. Soemtimes I get so SICK of that task!
If you could have ANY pet in the world (cost, safety, living environment are NOT factors---you can pick a liger for all I care) what would it be?
hippopotamus.

I thought I would come back for a second round of question....
I would sing for a Klondike bar. And I can't carry a tune in a bucket, to save my life.
If you were a color, what color would you be? Why?
I'd pick blue. It has so many variations and all of them are calm, something I could use a little more of.
You have to choose one meal to eat for the rest of your life. What is it?
Pizza (Sausage and Mushroom)
Boy, some of these questions remind me of the obscure ones my wife and I joke about.
If you were a secret ingredient on Iron Chef what would it be and what would Kaga be wearing?
Bon Voyage!!!!!!!
Enjoy every minute!!!!!
My secret ingredient would be beets and Kaga would wear a WonderWoman Costume.
If you could have any hair style what would it be? Long? Short? Curly? Shaved?
Short but not a style that was around when i graduated highschool-i would hate people to say "you can sure tell when she graduated. she needs an update".
If you were granted one "do over" in your life, what would it be?
Go to college right after high school instead of the military. I really wish I had done that and will push my daughter to do it.
What's your favorite thing about yourself?
My favorite thing about myself...what a doosey!
Today, it is my hair. I love my hair when it is smooth and slightly wavy. And today, the hair has cooperated. I think I need to plan a date with hubs so my good hair doesn't get wasted on laundry.
Would you spend $100 on a bathing suit? Why or why not?
NO---first off I prefer NOT to be in a swim suit.
If you could make a dream come true..what would it be??
Hey, this is fun!
My dream? I want to be a published author. But not just your run-of-the-mill author. I want to sell more books than J.K. Rowling. And in less time. Take that, Harry Potter!!
Would you rather be rich or beautiful? (I know... so unoriginal.)
I'd rather be rich. Then I can make myself beautiful through personal training and many many spa treatments.

What actor would play you in a movie about yourself?
Have a wonderful time in France Erin! I'm incredibly jealous!
Yikes! This is a hard question to answer...probably Bette Midler. I think she's hilarious and she has played parts that reflects my soul and humor...including her music.
If you could play a musical instrument, what would you choose to play?
Have fun in France Erin! You deserve it...
I would play the piano really well not just plunking and I would have been a better violinist.
If you could have lunch with any famous person who would it be?
I would have lunch with the prophet. Would love to meet him and pick his brain!!
Have you read Twilight? (i am a little obsessed with the whole series:))
Yes. I did read the Twilight series...the week before the movie came out. I got into a feverish state to read them all quickly. I enjoyed them quite a bit. There were some things I didn't care for about the books. But overall they were enjoyable. No, I didn't crush on Edward.
Tonight I made pizza for a family and didn't know what they liked on their pizza. I made half of it pepperoni, a quarter vegitarian, and the last quarter plain cheese.
What do you like on your pizza?
...I wonder if anyone will be below me...
Umm, I like pepperoni, and lots of veggies on my pizza. Sometimes sausage, but always the pepp...
Did you watch American Idol tonight??
Yes, I did. Most of it. Also watched Biggest Loser. I think Jorge's definately going home, and I'm not sure who else.
Do you write in a journal, along with blogging? Do you have a journal for your children?
I have a journal in the drawer of my nightstand that I write in rarely. And I don't keep a journal for the children, although for awhile we kept a family journal. But last summer I stole the best idea from my sister-in-law and had the kids write every morning before they went off to play.
Which would you rather have...your grandmother's first name...or her haircut?
Oh man. That's tough. My grandmothers' names are Florence and Myrle. So I think I'd have to go for haircut. I could funk up the styling a little, right?
Do you use a washcloth or a bath poof? (You know the things right? I don't know what to call them.)
Occasionally I use a bath poof, but usually I just soap up using my hands.
What is your favorite dessert?
What don't I like? I'm definitely a baked goods kind of girl. Chocolate cake from Magelby's is one of my favorites!!
What actor/actress do you find to be extremely annoying?
I know I'll get crap for this one, but I absolutely can not STAND Sylvester Stallone
I have NEVER made it through a SINGLE Rocky (1-473) because his accent, mannerisms and allover ewww-iness make my insides shudder.
Sorry.
My question - Name one show you have a hard time admitting you absolutely LOVE. How often do you watch it?
I almost want to skip and come back later for a different question. Because I watch AX men, ON TLC with my husband, AND I LIKE IT.
My question I hope it hasn't been asked, Favorite book of all time.
I HATE Angelina Jolie.
What is on the desktop of your computer?
Ooops, looks like other people were answering before I submitted my comment.
My favorite book? I'd say "books" and it would be the Harry Potter series.
I'll just answer the last question asked since the last comment doesn't have a question.
On my Desktop? Gorgeous picture of my daughter that I took but it looks professional! I have only taken one such photo.
Question: It is one of THOSE days, what do you do to tune everything out?
How fun is this?
To tune everything out one of THOSE days, I get on the computer and read blogs:).
Question: If you could eat at any restaurant, where would you eat?
This is the coolest idea!
Um, any restaurant. This might be really boring, but I LOOOVE Outback steakhouse. I love their talapia, I could eat it every day (along with their loaded fries...mmmm....)
Next question:
My brain is mush--so I'll be really boring
soap or body wash?
Have a great time, Erin! Thanks for giving us the post that keeps on giving before you left.
Body wash.
If you had to choose between having one kid or eight kids, which would you pick and why?
I will answer again because I don't want anyone left out!! I would have 8 kids over one. I already have 5 and am not having more but I love that all mine are close in age and always have a playmate. Don't have to have playdates, etc. Plus we have fun! I have a best friend who has 10 kids ages 17-1 and she is loving it:)
There's no question to answer, so I'll make one up and answer it.
What's your favourite thing about Erin?
How genuine she is. She doesn't pretend to be someone else, which is great, as she's loveable as she is.
Question: How many comments do you predict this post will get before Erin comes home?
One hundred.
What is the best advice anyone has ever given you?
To be myself and stop worrying about what other people think.
What time do you go to bed at night, and how much sleep do you need in order to not be crabby?
Hi Erin! Are you back yet? Hoope you are having/had fun!
I love this post - fun comments. I may try it on my blog. Soon. If that's ok...I will give you credit for the idea -
I go so sleep around 10 or 11 - and I usually need about 6 hours at night, and the occasional quick power snooze in the afternoon. I probably need more than than since my family seems to think I am crabby to often.
What is your favorite time of year, and why?
Love this. For the first time ever, I read each and every comment. What fun!
My favorite time of the year? Christmas. The lights, the sounds, the smells, the happy outlook that most people seem to have about life...it is wonderful.
My turn!
What do you like most and least about blogging?
-Francesca
I love the socail aspect of blogging--that I've made so many friends. I hate how it can be a bit junior high-ish, with the "popular" girls with lots of followers, and sometimes feeling left out or ignored by a blogger YOU feel you have a connection with.
Hope you are having oh-so-much fun, Erin!
What is one of your "guilty" pleasures? =)
One of my guilty pleasures this week has been to play wii sports into the wii hours of the night.
If you could be any part of a car, which part would you be?
I miss you Erin!
Erin, thanks so much for your nice comments on my blog!
If I was a car part?! Yowza. Hmmm... I guess I would have to say the rear view mirror--'cause that's where everyone puts the bling, and I love jewelry. :)
What is your favorite type of cuisine(Mexican, Italian, Thai, Chinese, etc.)? Can you cook it yourself, or do you have to go out to enjoy it?
