Are there any snacks, food or candy that are no longer made that you desperately miss?
If it was as good as I remember it, I would love to see Frusen Gladje at stores again. Frusen Gladje was a premium ice cream sold in pints and meant to give Haagen Daas a run for its money. Frusen Gladje was very yummy and quite addictive. ;-) The last time I remember eating it was when I was expecting my middle child. (and she just started college... it's been a while!)
For all you Voxers who aren't old enough to remember Frusen Gladje, just ask your mom... she'll remember. ;-)
What was (or is) your favorite subject in school?
Socializing. My next favorite subject was probably history. History is still one of my favorite subjects and as a homeschooling mom I get to regularly indulge myself in the name of educating my children. ;-) AND it's the reason I play dress-up and volunteer as a first-person interpreter at local historic sites. I want to share my passion with others, especially to ignite the flame of a love for history in younger generations. I like to show people that historic figures were ultimately folks just like us, petticoats and breeches notwithstanding. ;-)
I am retiring my old domain and sailing on to bluer skies... or perhaps a darker roast. And that's all I'm gonna say about that.
What's your morning beverage of choice? Coffee, tea, juice?
Homemade or store-bought?
Aaaah... the best part of waking up is a quad shot latte that I make at home every day. I buy only 1/2 pound of espresso beans at a time so they are always as fresh as possible. I enjoy my morning espresso experience so much that I often go to bed thinking of how I can't wait to wake up in the morning and have another yummy espresso. I'm a terminal dork, I know. But I do love my espresso!!
What was the first movie you remember seeing in a movie theater?
I remember seeing Mary Poppins when I was about 5. It was playing at the theater on the Army base where my dad was stationed (and we lived) and I remember my mom paying 25 cents for my ticket. (crazy, huh?) I remember how the theater looked on the outside and I remember watching the movie for the first time... it was so awesome!! Having raised three girls in the video age, I have since watched it a hundred times, but I still remember with fondness that very first time. I know I'm a dork, but it still makes me giddy. Mary Poppins still reigns as one of my favorite childhood movies. Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey, chim chim cher-ee... a sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be...
What's one thing that you'd like to get done this weekend? Is there anything holding you back?
Laundry. Laziness.
