do you ever get those emails from friends, where they answer a bunch of pointless questions, and then you're supposed to do the same and send it back? Well, I get them every so often, but I never do them. But I was a having a slow day when two different friends sent one to me, so i filled one out. Thought i'd post it here.

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? No, my dad messed up when my mom thought they had decided on Krystal, but he told everyone it was Krista and so that is me.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Why it was just last night at Reality Carp's Community Bible Study during worship and prayer time which is so powerful! You would be hard-pressed to not leave changed and renewed.

Not a bit. Very unstructured. Even my 5 year old said this morning, after asking me to spell his name in cursive, "Mom, THAT is not a cursive T." Oy. I hope my kids respect me enough to learn some handwritin' themselves. ha. I guess I major on the majors and minor on the minors.

Yes, I thnk so...one time my oncologist said, "...where your tonsils use to be..." and that surprised me since I've never had tonsils removed. Hmmm....

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? their eyes - and their humility (or lack thereof), and sometimes their arms because arms can be so telling...a mysterious answer, eh?
RED OR PINK? PINK is more fun, red is so grownup...hmmm...I pick pink!

I made a playlist of music that I call "Cool Easy Tunes to Read to or Relax with" - I know it's a long title...oops song change, now it's Stan Getz, Stan Getz' Finest Hour (album), "Didn't Know What Time It Was"...song change "Eleven Small Roaches" from Beyond Boundaries: Guitar Solos by Michael Hedges.
IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? GREEN - I'm such a greenie!

FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? Dancing with the Stars, LOL... any olympic event... I used to enjoy football watching when I was from Virginia - Rooting for the Redskins was so part of our culture. It's just not the same here, and I think it's partly due to the weather!
HAIR COLOR? freaky brown...freaky b/c it doesn't feel like me when I look in the mirror or at pics, but there it is, brown. I always had blonder hair, but it came back really dark after chemo.
