Gretchen Trivia Sweepstakes

Mark tagged me to tell 8 random things about myself, but today I had a bit of a windfall in new books, I decided to make it a game. Here's how it'll go. I will post (in segments) 8 trivia questions about myself, and the person who gets the most questions right and first (weighted equally) will win an assortment of books, shipped free of charge to your home (I'll base my selection on the interest of the winner). Or if you live here, I'll just hand them to you.

Segment 1 -- favorites:

1. Who is my favorite author?

2. Who is my favorite fine art artist?

3. What is my favorite color?

Let the games begin!

P.S. Gretchen, here is some trivia for YOU. (don't look it up)

What group of professionals did President Reagan fire 12,000 of, in 1981?

(P.S. I lost this question the other night in T.P. in boys against girls with the McCurdys, but knew it in my mind from that Ronald Reagan tape) I wished you were there, you probably would remember it. :)

I'm going to guess Elisabeth Elliott, Van Gogh, and green. Anytime books are the prize, I'm in. :)

Gretchen said...

Misty - AUGH HAHAHAHAHA!!!!! You are hysterical! You guessed it. I LOVE Thomas Kinkade. The teacher in my art class was totally mocking him (kindly, of course) the other night. It was great. Gotta go curl up with my battered copy of "The Notebook". :)

What a great idea, Gret - leave it it to ou to turn a meme into something much cooler :)

Sadly, I have no guesses!

Man, Anna totally beat me to it. My answers are the same as hers.
I died when I saw Misty's answer.
You wanna know something really funny (I think seeing Misty's Thomas Kinkaide answer and Anna's comment about the other night made me think of it.) When the boys were over Daniel pointed to mom's Precious Moments collection and asked what they were called, Anna and I laughed for like three hours. Do you know how funny it was when I answered, "Precious Moments"....hahahahahaha! He said he knew that but he was afraid to say it becuase if he would have said that and been wrong we should have made fun of him forever! Oh, man, I miss you guys!
