Hubby challenge

Captain's Log, Stardate 03.04.2009

I got tagged by my good friend, inspirational thriller author Ronie Kendig!

Here's a chance to see how well you really know your husband. The real challenge is to send it to your husband to see how right you really are.

1. He's sitting in front of the TV, what is on the screen? Sports Center

2. You're out to eat; what kind of dressing does he get on his salad? Italian

3. What's one food he doesn't like? Mayonnaise and/or mustard

4. You go out to eat and have a drink. What does he get? Water or Dr. Pepper

5. Where did he go to high school? Arizona

6. What size shoe does he wear? 11? (Urg—he’s a size 10, I went to the garage to check the shoe shelf)

7. If he was to collect anything, what would it be? keychains

8. What is his favorite type of sandwich? Philly Cheesesteak with those sweet/hot peppers

9. What would this person eat every day if he could? Rib eye steak

10. What is his favorite cereal? Bran Buds. It’s not really his favorite cereal, but he does eat it everyday to, um ... keep him regular.

11. What would he never wear? Pink (stole this one from Ronie)

12. What is his favorite sports team? Arizona Cardinals and Suns

14. Who is his best friend? Me? Well, he hangs out with me the most, anyway. I don’t think he’s really bestest friends with anyone. Maybe Byron.

15. What is something you do that he wishes you wouldn't do? Get water behind the sink spout. When I was living in Hawaii, that annoyed my dad, too.

16. What is his heritage? 3rd generation Chinese American

17. You bake him a cake for his birthday; what kind of cake? I don’t bake, but if I did, it would be Death By Chocolate with Chocolate Decadence frosting and Chocolate Chocolate Chip ice cream.

18. Did he play sports in high school? Basketball

19. What could he spend hours doing? Surfing the Internet

20. What is one unique talent he has? He puts up with me!

This is too cool! Can I swipe it?

And I have to concur with Captain Caffeine... the whole water behind the sink spout thing drives me nuts! Well, not the actual act of getting the water there, it's when my kids leave it there that makes me looney. My kids don't really care though lol.

Mansfield Park (BBC 1986)

Captain’s Log, Supplemental Blog book giveaway: To enter, go to the blog links below and post a comment there. Valley of Betrayal by Tricia Goyer It Happens Every Spring by Gary Chapman and Catherine Palmer Jane Austen miniseries I love Jane Austen. She’s my favorite classic writer, and I even bought audiobooks of her novels and listen to them again and again. I also love Amazon.com and visit my Gold Box every day (not that I buy that often). One day I had a deal for the entire set of DVDs of miniseries produced by BBC of Jane Austen’s novels. No, I didn’t buy the set—but it made me curious, and so I put the miniseries on my Netflix queue. The miniseries are all rather old. I just finished Mansfield Park . I’m quite divided on it. Costumes: score 4. They were mostly really rather nice, appropriate to the character’s background and income, and not too flamboyant, although there were several places the women’s headgear was just way over the top. Acting: score 4. I l...

Captain's Log, Supplemental Okay, I'm still at the library and Captain Caffeine sent me these pics since I wasn't home when they arrived: MY AUTHOR COPIES ARRIVED! Wow, that's just so cool. And I'm so glad Captain Caffeine sent me pics!

Mon afghan

Captain's Log, Stardate 02.24.2009 I am extraordinarily proud of this. For Christmas, I wanted to knit something for my parents that would be really cool and personal, and sort of an heirloom. So I took the five family crests I had for my family (in Japanese, a family crest is called a “mon”) and graphed the designs on knitting graph paper so that I could knit intarsia panels of the mons. I knit 5 intarsia panels and 4 plain panels and then sewed them together to make an afghan. In Japan, family crests are carried by both male and female, so I used mons from both my parents' sides. Traditionally, mons are passed down from mother to daughter and from father to son, but there are sometimes cases of a son taking a mother’s mon or a husband taking his wife’s family’s mon and things like that. I know we have more than 5 family crests, but we’ve lost some of them. My mom tried to find them all several years ago, but could only find these five. The fans mon was actually...

Grace Livingston Hill romances free to read online

I wanted to update my old post on Grace Livingston Hill romances because now there are tons more options for you to be able to read her books for free online! I’m a huge Grace Livingston Hill fan. Granted, not all her books resonate with me, but there are a few that I absolutely love, like The Enchanted Barn and Crimson Roses . And the best part is that she wrote over 100 books and I haven’t yet read them all! When I have time, I like to dive into a new GLH novel. I like the fact that most of them are romances, and I especially appreciate that they all have strong Christian themes. Occasionally the Christian content is a little heavy-handed for my taste, but it’s so interesting to see what the Christian faith was like in the early part of the 20th century. These books are often Cinderella-type stories or A Little Princess (Frances Hodgson Burnett) type stories, which I love. And the best part is that they’re all set in the early 1900s, so the time period is absolutely fasci...
