Staying in the holiday spirit and the idea of paying it forward, this week's question is:
If I had spare money that had to be donated to 3 charities, they would be _________, _________, and __________.
Oh... The first two are easy. My third will be kind of a cop-out.
1.
The Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. You can read my "why's" in this earlier post, but in short, this foundation raises money to find cures for pediatric cancer. They get a button in my sidebar. And watch, 'cause you'll find me doing Avon for Alex fundraisers throughout the year!
2.
This one is pretty similar. And I love the Thanks & Giving. Give thanks for the healthy kids in your life, and give to those who are not. I'm so thankful for my healthy kids, and thankful that because of the work and research done at St. Jude, I have friends who can also give thanks.
3. The United Way:
This group gives money to so many other great organizations. There are a million and one other charities I would want to give to. So, since I'm limited to 3, they get to be there on the list so they can spread the love. (Told you it was a cop-out!)

5. What is the one thing you wear the most, besides your unmentionables?
---------------------------------
1. Which boygroup did you like most in your teens?
In my teens? I wasn't a boygroup kind of girl, really. Unless you count Rancid or Nine Inch Nails as boy groups. And I think they might be mad.
I did do the NKOTB thing when I was a "tween" - not that we called 'em tweens, then, but that's what I was.
2. Do you do Christmas cards, letters, photos, nuthin', all of the above?
I am a failure. I have the best intentions about cards and stuff, and then... it just doesn't happen. I have BOXES of cards in my closet, just waiting to be mailed to happy homes.
3. If you could meet one celebrity who would it be and why?
Oh the pressure! I'm not a big celeb kind of person... Sports people though, I guess they count. So.. Peyton Manning. He strikes me as a genuine person. I'd love to just hang out with him and the Colts squad as a whole.
4. Favorite thing to cook with (i.e. stainless, non-stick, Dutch oven, microwave, debit card...or, perhaps, a cauldron, etc.)?
My GRILL! I LOVE to GRILL! I love me some meat and corn and veggies and shrimp and I'm drooling. I have to stop it. But, seriously, I love cooking on flame. I also really enjoy cooking over a campfire. (Careful, Megan - your redneck is showing! :-P)
5. What is the one thing you wear the most, besides your unmentionables?
Technically it's my wedding band, and it's got my "unmentionables" beat. But outside of that? I'm such a jeans and t-shirt girl, much to the chagrin of the lovely ladies who have tried so hard to make a real "girl" out of me. Specific items? My Robert Mathis Colts jersey. Every game day. Without fail.
Ok, peeps! Now it's YOUR turn! We wanna know, so be sure to post your answers, either in my comments, or on YOUR blog, and be sure to link up by visiting our hard-working hostesses!
Glad to know there is another hard core football girl out there like me! I love me some football.. although I cant say im an Indy fan... have to be a panther girl (yes I know we stink this year.. we all have our moments ;)
ReplyDeleteHave a good weekend
I always have the best of intentions when it comes to Christmas cards too. Oh well, maybe next year....wait I think I said that last year and the year before that. Ugh, oh well :o)
ReplyDeleteI need to learn how to grill. I can make hamburgers and hot dogs but that's it.
Oh how much I would love to be able to grill! Our grill is covered in an inch of snow out on our deck. Love campfires too! Can't have one in our yard, but when we go camping, there's nothing like roasted ANYTHING on the fire.
ReplyDeleteOh another "not-so-celeb-person" :-)
ReplyDeleteLoved reading your answers!
Uhm... what is a tween?
Thanks for your explanation :-))
ReplyDeleteSomething went wrong with our propane on our grill two years ago, and my bangs went up in flames - yikes! My grill scares me, now! Maybe you could come over and do my grilling for me??? Please????
ReplyDeleteGreat answers. I am so happy that everyone seems to know which charities they'd give money to if they could. Love to pay it forward!
