I've been tagged! Here are my favorites:

Book: Twilight, Artemis Fowl, Gregor the Overlander, To Kill a Mockingbird

Movie: The ones we've seen recently that we really like: Stardust and The Ultimate Gift. I also really like the first Harry Potter movie and Secondhand Lions and Undercover Blues. The Illusionist is pretty good too.

Color: Purple has been my favorite for a long time, so I guess it's stuck. But to be honest, I like a lot of colors, especially color combinations. Lately it's been dark red and harvest gold, or smokey gray and cream, turquoise and brown, and tan and mocha brown.

TV Show: Psych!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We are so grateful for Tivo because it allows us to pause and laugh our hearts out before they make another joke and we miss it. We often rewind the joke so we can laugh again. I know, we're nerds. We are also fans of Chuck, The Office, Heroes, As Time Goes By (an older British comedy with Dame Judy Dench), and Raines and Studio 60 (not sure if these last 2 are coming back though). We also like, but not love, Ghost Whisperer and Numbers. Gosh, we sound like couch potatoes, don't we?

Guilty Pleasure: Chocolate. Everyday. That's the only way to survive, in my opinion. Also, good juvenile fiction, blogging, baking, buying books (especially cookbooks), and goodreads.com.

Outfit: When I'm not going anywhere, it's my black Lounge pants from Old Navy and a comfy solid tee. When I'm going somewhere, my cute new gray pants with the fun embroidery on the back pockets, and my black hooded henley.

Body Part: On me? My eyes. On Jeromy? His smile.

Kitchen Tip: Soy sauce gets any stain out (just kidding, please don't try that at home). Um, I don't know, don't worry about things too much and enjoy your food as much as you can. Ooh, I know, a wise woman once told my mom who then told me when I got married that even if you haven't started cooking dinner, you should have the dinner table set when your hubby gets home. It makes him feel more secure, loved, etc.

Life Lesson: The Lord DOES provide a way for you to keep the commandments, sometimes you just need to ask.

Activity: Eating. Watching TV w/ hubby. Cooking. Shopping. Reading (especially aloud to Jeromy or the kids). Chatting. Decorating. Crocheting.

Food: Any dessert pretty much, especially if it has chocolate (cheesecake, cookies, and eclairs to name a few). Funeral potatoes, mangoes, creamy sun-dried tomato pasta (well pretty much any pasta, really), teriyaki chicken, fresh pineapple, roast with gravy, stuffing, sweet potato streusel casserole, chicken crescent rolls, Cafe Rio's chicken salad, guacamole and chips... I could go on an on, but that's what comes to mind right now.

Child-Raising Tip: Actually, I could really use some. Any pointers? I guess I would have to say that it's always much easier to nip something in the bud, so you have to stay on your toes to notice. Also, if you can't seem to calm down about something, at least pretend to be calm and eventually you will be calm. Breathe. And just enjoy them while they're in the particular stage they're in, because before you know it, they'll have moved on. There's pros and cons to every age.

Game: Ticket to Ride, Settlers, Phase 10 or Barnyard Rummy, Speed, Wii bowling, Scene It, Catch Phrase, Mad Gab, Uno, and Apples to Apples.

Element: Silver.

All right, Kristine, there you go! Now, let's see. Megan, Shelly, Jenna, Nicki, Leslie, Jenny, Bethany, Mindy, Heather, Johanna: tag, you're it!! (Can you tag 10 people at once?)
