Day 7-A picture of someone/something that has the biggest impact on you

Get it? Ha ha. I crack myself up.

Day 6-Favorite super hero and why

This is a question that Kory would answer much better than I will. I don't know that much about superheros, anything I do know I have learned from movies that came out in the last 5 years.

Batman is rich but he isn't smart, he gets all his stuff from someone else and he can't fly (just falling is lame). The Superman movies stink and I find Clark Kent annoying so he is out. I wish that I had more information about a cool lady superhero, but other than Storm (not a big enough character) and Jean Gray (whoop de do you can read minds, boring) from XMEN I don't really know any others. Spider-man is just awful and whiny so I can't pick him. Wolverine has too much emotional baggage and is no fun.

So based on my lack of knowledge on the subject I am going to go with my favorite superhero movie character Iron Man. I like that Iron Man doesn't have any special powers, besides being super rich, and that he is smart and made all his own gadgets.

Day 5-A picture of somewhere you've been to

This is a picture of a beautiful ravine in New Hampshire. We went to visit Jason and Steph and they took us to visit places all over the northeast. It was the first time I had been past Michigan and I was so shocked at how green and beautiful it was.

Day 4-A habit that you wish you didn't have

I procrastinate, and to illustrate that point I put this post up a day late. Totally on purpose. No, really.

Day 3-A picture of you and your friends

This challenge bored me so instead of doing it I am going to tell a funny thing that happened last night.

Marti asked us last night if she could wake up early today and watch Saturday morning cartoons before Mom and Dad got up. For some reason she thinks that waking up early is fun, I don't know why, maybe because she rarely does it (she is not an early bird at all). No big deal, I thought she would be up around 8 maybe 7 at the earliest. WRONG. I was sleeping quite soundly at 1:30 in the morning when I heard the tv downstairs. In my sleep induced haze I was sure that burglars, or maybe a wild animal, had broken into our house so I poked Kory until he woke up and made him go down to investigate. He went down the stairs and there were Marti and Emy sitting on the couch watching cartoons in the middle of the night. As we were putting them back to bed Marti said to me "But Mom, you didn't tell me I couldn't wake up at 1:30", I forget how literally she takes everything. I should probably give her more exact instructions next time.

Day 2-The meaning behind your Blog name

Just one day in and already behind, what a slacker. The name of my blog is Good Times, Noodle Salad which is a quote from the movie As Good As It Gets. I like the movie and I liked the quote and I thought it was kind of unconventional just like our kind of unconventional little family.

Day 1-Recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

This is my most recent photo, it is me ice skating, the word skating is probably too generous it is really more like holding on to the wall for dear life.

15 interesting things about myself...tricky, I don't find myself that interesting so this may be a stretch.

1. I can't sleep if my feet are hot.
2. I don't like the volume on the tv to be on an odd number.
3. Popcorn is my favorite food (yes, I know it barely counts as "food")
4. My kids are 13 months apart, that's kind of more interesting about them but I was involved so it counts.
5. I really, really, really hate chair lifts.
6. I love sports talk radio, especially Dan Patrick.
7. I put salt on my apples.
8. Pretty much everything reminds me of a song.
9. Every morning my kids come in my bed and snuggle with me, it is the best part of my day.
10. I don't eat fish. At all. Don't like it. Let it go Kory I'm not giving in.
11. I love what most people would consider to be weird movies.
12. My favorite book is Wuthering Heights.
13. I can get motion sickness from almost anything, i.e. snorkeling, amusement park rides, swinging etc. (don't even talk to me about helicopters I may throw up)
14. I love water, looking at it, swimming in it or kayaking on it.
15. My feelings get hurt easily but I have a hard time expressing my hurt, it usually shows up as indifference and detachment.
