Getting to Know You

OK.. got this off of Michelle's blog.  They're always kind of fun.  If you want, copy and paste this into a post on your own blog and then come and comment on my blog and leave a link so we can all be entertained. It's ok to embellish or omit... it makes the reading more interesting.  I however, told the whole truth :)

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?   No... you'd think with a flower-child name like "April Dawn" my parents were hippies.. they're not :)  And yes, I realize that my name is April Dawn Johnson (think Miami Vice, Clayton thinks this is hilarious)
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?  Last night watching "Little People Big World".  Stop laughing.  The dad went to Iraq and I saw all these kids/troops on the C130s going into Iraq and thought of my husband and my friends' husbands making that trip several times.  It's too much for me to wrap my brain around today.  Catch it on rerun and send up a prayer for all the kids making that trip today.
DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?  It's legible.  I guess I like it.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?  Boar's Head Ovengold Turkey is the best.  The BH roast beef is also super.
DO YOU HAVE KIDS?  If you're reading this blog, you know about my son and my daughter.  They're pretty cute.
IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?  Interesting question.. probably.  I think I'm a pretty good friend most of the time.  We all have our moments.  I'd probably drive myself crazy half the time.

DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT?  Uh, never.  Right.  (ha ha)
DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?   As far as I know.. unless the aliens took them out that one time...
WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?  I'm not planning on it but I might.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?  Raisin Nut Bran (with milk)
DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?    Rarely.  Now it's boot season and they all zip.  And yes, I unzip them to take them off.
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?  Yes.  I can move furniture and boxes with the best of them.  Our latest movers were WEAK.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?  Butter Pecan..  That black chocolate ice cream from Baskin Robbins.  I love the stuff.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?   Their hair (women).. I'm always looking for a new style which is surprising considering I think my hair ALWAYS LOOKS THE SAME.
RED OR PINK?   Pink.
WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?  My bad attitude.  The list is long.
WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?   Just having moved to Alaska,  I miss my friends in TX, particularly the moms I hung out with who had kids my age (BJ, Shelli, Sheri, Jane, Beth, Sam, Dianna, Lauri, Laura....)
WHAT COLOR SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?  White furry slippers.  It's snowing and I'm freezing!!!!
WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?  Honey nut cheerios.

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?  Our very loud washing machine and strange clicking noises from Clay downstairs. 
IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?  Purple.  Don't ask me why...I have no idea.
FAVORITE SMELLS?   Mulled apple cider!  Reminds me of Christmastime, shopping at the malls (in AZ) and of Wiliams-Sonoma, another thing I miss (good malls!).
WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?  Kamdon S.
FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?   The Olympics: gymnastics, especially the men.
HAIR COLOR?   Ha ha... blonde.  Ha ha.
EYE COLOR?  Brown.
DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?   Not yet...
FAVORITE FOOD?   Mexican food, especially Mi Patio in Phoenix, my gram's enchiladas, good salsa and Margaritas!!!
SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?  I do like a happy ending.  I'm not a fan of scary movies (horror) but I like suspense.
LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?   Coming to America.  That movie is so funny, I forgot.  We have free HBO right now.
WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?  Purple.. which may explain the crayon answer.
SUMMER OR WINTER?   Summer!! I don't mind the heat and  I love being outside and in or near the water.
HUGS OR KISSES?   Hugs.  

FAVORITE DESSERT?  Right now I have a thing for apple pies, specifically the ones from Costco.  They're yummy.
WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?   I'm reading a chronological bible-in-a-year and I just finished a novel called "The Historian" which I don't really reocmmend.   Am planning on starting a new fun read today.. I'll take any suggestions you might have.
WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?  An F16. Go Spads.
WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?   I watched all the schmultzy shows on TLC: 17 kids and counting, Little People Big World (again, watch Matt go to Iraq and think of Clayton or whomever it is you know that's gone over...chances are excellent you all know at least one person who has flown into the desert on a C130).
FAVORITE SOUND?  I love the sound of spa music, waterfalls and the steam machine while receiving a facial :)
ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES?  I have Beatles on my ipod but I think I like the sound of the Stones better.

WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME???   Anchorage, AK (or is Hawaii farther??) ... 
DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?   Oh.. I have several.  I'm 3 belts away from a black belt in Tae Kwon Do (that's about a year's worth of work, give or take).

WHERE WERE YOU BORN?  Flagstaff, AZ
*** take the time and fill this out.  It's fun :)

Hi April....I know who you are silly! I enjoyed your list as well....see you next time there's something going on with one of the Kronwald sisters that brings you out here! :)

Filleman Family said...

Dude ... the fam didn't make it on the "who you miss" list at ALL?? Is it b/c of my snotty sister-in-law comment about Nordstroms :)

Either way . . .we miss you guys :)

AprilJ said...

I always miss the fam. but I have never had you guys on day-to-day life.. For the record, I ALWAYS miss our family but it's constant missing. Like the pain you learn to ignore because it's always there.

You know, I often wondered how you finished up Tae Kwon Do in TX. Do you think you'll complete the black belt while your'e in AK?

I have one more fun and random question to add: What were the first 5 items ('cause we all know there were AT LEAST 5 things!) you bought on your first trip to the new Target last week?
