    Thoughts I had while reading this about you:
    1. I generate my own heat and a lot of it according to cliff who says I radiate heat. But I am often cold. Go figure...
    2. I always knew you were an otter.
    3. Most of your authors have initials.
    4. You just made me hungry for cheese enchiladas.
    5. You should be able to accomplish the student loan payoff in the near future! :)

    Neat list! I should try one, too. Yes, we always knew you are an otter, that's why we love you!

    I know you'll accomplish the desires of your heart!

    @CT: Aw!! You're the greatest hubby ever! :)

    @Teresa: I should find out Roald Dahl's middle initial. But I noticed that, too, about my authors. Thanks, by the way, for putting this on your blog awhile back, so I could copy it! :D

    @Momma: Feel free to copy it to your own blog, with your own answers!

    @Leanna: The funny thing is, these do not seem random to me. Are these random? :) Thanks for being my friend!!

    Okay, so maybe quote 3 of my 4 favorite is a little out of place. I can see that being random. :) But it's still a good quote, and the others are the ones I say the most. Based on the quotes, I'll give you one guess to name my favorite movie (like you don't already know!).

    This list should include favorite movies!

    (But then MAB might shoot down my favorite movies, too, and I could never live with myself.)

    @KarenD: Aww, man! I won't shoot down your favorite movies! I don't have a gun! And, even if I happen to eviscerate those same movies on my blog coincidentally on the same day, I'll once again preemptively apologize for the insensitivity of my timing. :) And, I never said your taste in Christmas carols stank... just those TWO.

    Although, I must say this: If your list of favorite movies includes any made for tv movie, I will mock it.

    She says..."And don't forget to pack your angry eyes..." as she shoves them in his backside compartment! =)

    I like the part on the bloopers where she's pulling out all the stuff from his backside compartment... here's dental floss, an umbrella, extra pair of shoes, etc.
