5. American Gods by Neil Gaiman. Love all his work, but this was my first one!
1. Hmmm. Eric Dane. Or Hugh Jackman.
2. Oh, way too many to list.
3. Peanut M&Ms. Wrote about them today.
4. Absolutely. Taking my 10 year old who is almost done with New Moon. And said 10 year old depends on Lula to send her a daily dose of Edward Cullen photos.
5. My favorite book of all time is "Wicked" by Gregory Maguire. If you are looking for suggestions - I LOVE Christopher Moore. He is whacked. And absolutely hilarious. My fav: "Lamb: The gospel according to Biff, Jesus' childhood pal."
2. The Nester, A Soft Place to Land, Bless Our Nest...there are so many!

4. I want to read the books first, and since I can't seem to get through any books since I started this whole blog addiction, I may have to rent the DVDs.
5. Big Stone Gap series by Adriana Trigiani. All of her books are really great, IMO.
Thanks! Great questions.
Em
If they cast Jason Statham in it (highly unlikely, but you know I dream big), I will stalk him until the restraining order forces me away. Not even kidding.
2. Lula, Maternal Mirth, More Mere Catherine, Heavy on the Caffeine
3. Secret Weapon: Dr. Pepper, it's like Popeye's spinach to me
4. Twilight? Heck yeah!
5. Fave Book: Hmm, tough one. I just read the Time Travelers Wife and The Used World. Both good, not favorite, but good.
2. I LOVE to read Mommypie
3. My Secret Weapon is bonne bell lipsmackers and my digital camera (besides my hubby and girls)
4. Yes, I want to see Twilight, but have to read the book first
5. I LOVE the In Death Series by JD Robb (aka Nora Roberts)
2. Too many to list...
3. cell phone
4. YES!!!
5. Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich
2 - Pioneer Woman, Plain Jane Mom
3 - My iPod Touch
4 - Hope NOT
5 - God of Small Things
2. Finding Atman and Lulaville...both RLFs.
3. lipstick. Or my iPhone. No, lipstick AND my iPhone.
4. No. I'm probably the only girl in America not really interested. If Lula reads this she's probably going to break up with me.
5. Anything by Philippa Gregory. I read "The Constant Princess" and then "The Other Boleyn Girl" (didn't see the movie). My next will probably be her latest: "The Other Queen".
ALSO: "Waking Raphael" by Leslie Forbes. FABULOUS read. Her other books are ok, but this one hits it out of the park.
Those are my two constant recommendations.
2. I'm copping out and referring to my blogroll also. I follow about 90 blogs currently.
3. The Body Shop Tea Tree Oil Blemish stick. It's a miracle worker for $6.
4. Yes. Yes. Yes.
5. Jen Lancaster's 3 books are my current faves. She's friggin' hysterical!
1. Gary Sinise. Yes, Lt. Dan from Forrest Gump. Not when he was crazy suicidal hippie looking in the movie, but before. What can I say? I'm strange that way...
2. This is like asking me to choose which child is my favorite. I can't do it. I guess if I had to choose, it would be my Sister-in-law's blog because I get to feel like I get to see her, my brother, and my niece at least once a week, even though they are 1000 miles away!
3. My Wusthoff-Trident Knives. People thought I was crazy when I spent $400 for four knives. (it was half a month's take-home pay at the time), but I considered them an investment. Eight years later, they are still amazing! The unfortunate side-effect is that I have turned into a complete knife snob.
4. Nopes. I only pay to see action or SciFi movies in the theatres. Otherwise, I wait for the DVD or OnDemand.
5. I'm reading Stephen King's latest--Duma Key--right now. I'm a big fan of King and Koontz. I'm not much help in that area!
