Which One?
Here are my answers for the Top Ten list this week...
1. Leno or Letterman? Neither...I am asleep by then!!!
2. CBS, ABC or NBC? ABC...Lost & Desperate Housewives!
3. Chocolate and Peanut Butter or Chocolate and Strawberry's? Definitely Peanut Butter!
4. Disney or Warner Brothers? Disney!!!
5. Movie Theater or VCR/DVD? Movie Theater (I love going to movies, but I don't usually have the time now. I hope a good Disney movie comes out soon!)
6. Coke or Pepsi? BOTTLED WATER! (Before I started my diet, it definitely would have been Pepsi!)
7. Pens or Pencils? Pens
8. 60's, 70's, 80's or 90's? 90s
9. dog or cat? DOG
10. Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit? Definitely Monopoly!
I have to tell a little about Monopoly right now. My dad was a huge Monopoly player! My grandma always said he would sit and play by himself when he was little. I guess the practice really paid off because he truly was the best Monopoly player ever. I don't know how he did it, but he always managed to acquire all of the properties and have hotels on most of them, too! I remember counting which numbers I could roll to be safe when it was my turn. He would sing a song, "Come on down...Come on down...Come on down to Mark's Motel Town." I would always challenge him to a game, and he would always say he didn't want to waste his time because no one could beat him. He would always end up playing me though...and winning! I always thought that I would beat him just once, but of course I never did! I never knew anyone to be so good and unbeatable at Monopoly! Well, I just had to share that because I can't think about Monopoly without thinking about my Dad! Now that I am crying and thinking about how much I miss him, I will say bye for now!
I hope to post my pictures from COSI soon!

Some people are truly just the best at certain games!! Kinda like John and the new Trivia games. Still not sure how he ends up winning those? Hmmm, m-a-y-b-e he cheats somehow?? LOL
You know, I'm always thinking of little stories a/b Dad too and it isn't long before I'm missing him and crying too. It's good to share the stories though! We both have a lot of proud things to share! :)))

Good answers to the top ten list! Although, my answer for best TV station is also ABC, I thought because of Desperate Housewives................and "Grey's Anatomy!" I laughed when you didn't say that show 'cause I know you like it a LOT like me!!!! :)) I figured I'd give ya a little grief about it!!!! LOL!!! :)
And, your story about your dad also brought a tear to my eye!!! It was precious!!! Thank you for sharing it w/us! It helps others (such as me) remember not to take the people in our lives for granted! What a sweet memory!!!

I like your list. I guess you are not a night owl! My dad never played games with us while we growing up, but right before he passed away he taught me to play Hearts. I never got very good. Even though we played for hours on end when he was in Riverside, and of course he always won, too. Even on meds he could beat me!
