In A Word


I am not a woman of few words, my regular readers know that. So when the divine Holly Dietor of Your Mother Knows But Won't Tell You bestowed this cool award on me (THANK YOU!), I was flattered and tried to rise to the one word challenge. Holly's blog is a daily "must read" for me and I think it will be for you too. Please stop by and show her some love.

The idea of the Your Blog Is Over The Top Award is to answer a list of questions using only ONE word! Here's my best shot....

1. Where is your cell phone? Car
2. Your hair?
Thinning

Inspiring

Bedroom
10. Your hobby?

11. Your fear?
War
12. Where do you want to be in 6 years?
Joyful
13. Where were you last night? McDreamy

14. Something that you aren't?
Gullible
15. Muffins?
Cookies
16. Wish list item?
Garden
17. Where did you grow up?
Ohio
18. Last thing you did?
Woke up
19. What are you wearing? Glasses

20. Your TV?
Off
21. Your pet?
Rock
22. Friends?
Generous
23. Your life?
Complicated
24. Your mood?
Changing
25. Missing someone?
Many
26. Vehicle?
Blue
27. Something you're not wearing?
Watch
28. Your favorite store? Books

29. Your favorite color?
Periwinkle
30. When was the last time you laughed?
Now
31. Last time you cried?
Sunday
32. Your best friend?
Fabulous
33. One place that I go to over and over? Home

34. One person who emails me regularly?
BFF
35. Favorite place to eat?
Mom's

I'm to pass this award along to six Over The Top Blogs that I don't think have participated in this popular meme yet. If you'd like to play along too, feel free to join in. If not, NO pressure.

Jayne at AC's Scrapbook (She has a great giveaway going on too!)
Cut and paste these questions to your post. Please let me know if you play along.

Thanks again Holly. You are my Sister in Snark and I love you!

Is there one word that would describe YOU?

Mari said...

This is a good one. I enjoyed your one word answers!

Tattoos and Teething Rings said...

I love this award, it's interesting to see what people come up with in one word. And your favorite place to eat -mom's- is priceless.

angelcel said...

Ooh I'm one of the group of 'meme~ers'? Goodee! I liked the last one *so* much - although that worries me slightly because it has everything to do with talking about me, myself and I. That probably says a lot about me!

Thanks for the giveaway mention too. You're an absolute gem. :)

Willoughby said...

Great answers! It's hard to stick to one word, don't you think?

I hope you enjoyed your cocktail party appearance! You were very popular! The post you chose was perfect.

Thanks for the shout out!

Susan said...

You: warm and entertaining (woops - that's two words).

TechnoBabe said...

That is fun to get to know more about you in one word answers. My two favorites on your list are that you are not gullible and your TV is OFF. Love it.

cinner said...

Thanks Joanna, Holly sent me one too which I posted the other day. I am so honored you thought of me.That you both did! This meme is great way to learn about each other. Thanks again. I have to check out your post at the blog party. have a great weekend.

anne h said...

How wonderful it is to get to know you - and all the cool bloggers - through these fun awards!

Gran said...

Terrific answers! The word that describes me: intrepid!

The Peach Tart said...

Congratulations on your award. I'll check out these other blogs.

Pseudonymous High School Teacher said...

I like your answers. Especialy your dream and goal - they reminded me of the post I just put up.

lisleman said...

I thought blogging was your hobby but maybe you take it more seriously.

Some words mean more than a whole paragraph, so one word answers are useful.

Green-Eyed Momster said...

Congratulations, Joanna! Your answers are wonderful. But, I'm sorry you cried on Sunday unless they were tears of joy.

Big hugs!!

Ocean Girl said...

Heading to Holly's :)

Betty said...

Congrats on the award Joanna! I´d rather eat cookies than muffins too! :)
Have a good weekend!

Unknown Mami said...

Cookies!

Thank you!

Lulu said...

Sweeetie - you are so wonderful - thanks for passing this on! As you know, I am challenged at using my Mac to get my awards up - but I will definitely try!

Matty said...

Joanna, your posts are best when you AREN'T a woman of few words.

Congrats on the award.

Little Ms Blogger said...

You had a dream about cows? Where they dancing or talking to you? Did you just have a large t-bone?

That is bizarre.

Kathy said...

That was great! Thanks for sharing.

Jeanie said...

Interesting questions and answers. Cookies or muffins....that is a tough one. I would find it challenging to answer some of the questions with just one word.

Joanie M said...

Congrats on your award!
Cookies over muffins? Absolutely!

Teresa @ Grammy Girlfriend said...

Loved this post....

Ami said...

It was really hard to do just one word when I felt like I could write whole posts on some of them.

But even that is good,if I get 'stuck' (what will I write today?!!) I can refer back to that post.

Flartus said...

I love it! I'll definitely copy and paste it someday soon.

grannyann said...

Cows!!! That ought to make your psychiatrist wonder....just teasing.

Amy said...

Congratulations on your award Joanna, love the questions and your answers!

I love me some cookies, booksores are the best and Periwinkle is so pretty! lol

Eva Gallant said...

Congrats on the well-deserved award!

Cathy Clementz said...

Thank you for the award and the mention on your blog!!!

I would play along with this new game but time is getting away from me!!

Thank you so much!!

My name is PJ. said...

One word that left us wanting more? Cows. Too, too funny!

I played along because I liked the award graphic. Single word answers are extremely difficult for us old broads!!

LadyFi said...

Good post!

Me? Quirky.

Helen McGinn said...

Hey, I have a pet rock too! *L* I hope my kids will someday list eating at moms as their favourite. x
