Friend Makin’ Mondays

Today I’m participating in Friend Makin’ Mondays, hosted by Amber at aefilkins.

friend makin monday for post 

Today’s topic is a quick survey… right up my alley! I love surveys.

1. Favorite website

I love Google Reader. I import all my blogs onto my reader, and it’s one stop shopping for all my bloggy needs. I also love celebrity gossip sites, like Perez Hilton and the like. I actually can’t stand Perez Hilton, but I do love my daily fix of celebrity pictures and news. It’s my guilty pleasure.

2. Favorite color

Pink!

3. Facebook?

My husband refers to this as MyFace. Find me at andrearhouse at yahoo dot com. Let me know who you are so I can be sure to add you!

4. Favorite Christmas song?

O Holy Night – love Martina McBride’s version. My favorite Christmas CD is Point of Grace. It’s classic songs, sung beautifully. Please check it out.

5. Christmas tree: Real or fake?

I’ve actually never had a real Christmas tree. Apparently when I was little, my parents did real trees, and once when my dad was at work, the whole tree fell over in the middle of the night. My mom switched to artificial and never looked back.

I’m the crazy person who has a tree for every single room in her house (even the bathrooms – miniature trees, of course!). Last year I stalked Target and Goodwill and got 4 pre-lit trees for less than $15 each. Score!

Of course I’m not doing Christmas decor this year but let’s not remind the hubs of that fact, mmmkay? He still grumbles and mumbles about the trees when he has to enter the garage.

6. Hottest celebrity?

Chris Pine (Star Trek)

7. Favorite restaurant?

Have you guys ever been to Five Guys? Best burgers and fries ever! I love me some Carrabbas as well. Of course, you can’t go wrong with any place that serves soup and salad. Olive Garden = yummy in my tummy!

8. Favorite magazine?

US Weekly. Again, guilty pleasure. Don’t judge me.

9. Favorite thing to drink around the holidays?

I’ve never had eggnog, which I suppose would be the obvious answer. I don’t like cider either, so I’ll go with my usual sweet tea.

10. Favorite Christmas movie?

I’ll tell you what it’s not – Love Actually. I had to rent this movie FOUR TIMES to get all the way through it. That movie is just painful.

Oh my goodness...I totally forgot about eggnog..I love that stuff! But sweet tea is good too! I have always wanted to have multiple trees around the house but the hubby says no. Bah Humbug to him! hehehe! Have a great FMM!!

Sara said...

I did the same thing with Love Actually. My sister loved it so much and couldnt believe I hated it!!

I cant stand that movie, I do like Five Guys, yummy

Jules said...

I cannot believe that you have never had a real tree, but I do love that you set-up artificial trees in each room. That must look very pretty and it sounds like you got some great deals on trees at the end of the season last year.

I love my celebrity gossip too, so don’t feel bad ;) I think it’s funny that Jason calls FB, MyFace. I’ll take 5 Guys or Olive Garden any day!

I thought I was one of the only people that disliked Love Actually. My bestie made me watch it 2 years ago and it was just painful. I never want to see that again.

I would love multiple trees!! I am so stalking Goodwill this year to get me some deals for next year!

I love US Weekly, I used to read it at the gym (it was my incentive to get my butt over there).
Great list!

Heather @ Sugar N Spice Mostly Nice said...

My Hubby has always nixed the idea of multiple trees, so this year I didn't ask for his opinion and put up 3 now he wants to get more for other rooms of the house for next year.

I'll just quietly let him think it was all his idea :)

Amy said...

I have been to five brothers. I love your movie pick. I hope you are feeling well and that baby is growing more and more.

Xazmin said...

O Holy Night is my favorite Christmas song too!

I don't really care for 5 Guys...sorry! But I do think Chris Pine is spectacular!

How come you're not doing Christmas decor this year? I'll have to read back and find out.

I've missed you! It's so hard to keep up with my favorite blogs these days!

lynne [olive rue] said...

i don't like perez hilton either. i love his gossip but im pretty sure we aren't the only ones who share the dislike ;) happy FMM!

Jill said...

Cute "Getting to Know You," love the Christmas questions.

When I was a kid we purchased a real tree a few times until my mom noticed a lizard had come with the tree for no extra charge. At that point she was done with real trees. :)

Sara said...

you broke my heart you know... when I saw the pic for your fave christmas movie, I was all butterflies! oh that's mine too I thought.... and the shattered! But I forgive you! Have an awesome monday.

Mama Michie (aka Michaela) said...

Is it wrong that I paused a little longer over Chris Pine's photo? I liked watching Star Trek - he was the eye candy that made it worth it!!

Jen said...

What?!?! I can't believe you didn't like Love Actually. That is one of my favorite Christmas movies EVER!! It is on my top ten favorite movies of all time. So good!

sprinkles said...

Thanks for participating in Friend Making Monday. I always like to learn more about my fellow bloggers.

I love celebrity gossip too. Probably a little too much! Don't read Perez though.

Never heard of Five Guys. We have a Carrabbas here but I've never eaten there. Didn't realize it was a chain. Love Olive Garden.

Justine said...

Why aren't you decorating this year???

You've NEVER had egg nog? Don't you think it's about time you took at least a little sip? Yum!

Ooh, 5 Guys! I ate there this week for the first time. It was soooooo good!

Justine :o )

Katie said...

Some day I aspire to have trees in every room! :)

OMG! I actually LOVE Love Actually! Might be my favorite Christmas movie.

That's ok. I still love you :)

Something about Christmas makes us nostalgic
