Just returned from the dentist where I had to be a 7 AM. So it was a nice surprise to see my name as celebrity of the day. And as Moony said it is nice to enjoy it now before school starts and I have to be at work during the day. Hopefully Day Dreamer will not care if he did not get to pick for Dame and hopefully Dame will get another day to answer his question! No controversy on my CotD thread because the first thing you can learn about me is that I hate conflict! I will be back to start answering questions in a few minutes.

CONFETTI toss for bway!!!

Dame said DD could pick the next MBCotD - and DD did. The name DD picked was, indeed, BwayAddict.

Enjoy your reign today.

Sorry about the misunderstanding.* I still think DD should've made the announcement here so that there wouldn't have been any confusion.

That said, bwayaddict, I didn't mean to rain on your parade. I was just a bit muddled.

Here are my random questions:

What would you do if you found a wallet full of money that had the owner's ID inside?

Do you close your eyes when you kiss?

Which of the following three characteristics would be the least important in your ideal mate: Brains, Looks, or Money?

What was the best/wildest party that you have ever been to?

What is your favorite type of cuisine?

*This apology was NOT meant for Frank, but for Craig and bwayaddict.

Boobs - these are really hard first questions. Too much thinking this early in the AM

1) What inspires you?
Probably besides my children...the triumph of the human spirit. When people can go thru great adversity and still tackle life with a love and a positive outlook that makes me think that I should be able to handle life like that also.

2) if you could spend the day with one person (dead or alive) who would it be and what would you talk about?
I would really love to spend the day with my mother. She died from lung cancer when she was 42 and I was 17. I was too young and selfish to really appreciate her for who she was and what she had gone through in her life. Now that I have my own family I wish I had had the chance to tell her how much I loved her and had just been able to talk about life!

3) If you were putting together a scrapbook of your life..what items would have to be included in it?
In my elementary school scrapbook I have my blue ribbon I won for my handprinting at the Ohio State Fair and report cards and greeting cards from family and friend. Fun to look back through that. Now, for sure, pictures, lots of pictures of family, friends, pets and activities. And also all my Broadway playbills!

I now have to go to my daughter's house and babysit but she has a computer so I will try to answer some questions from there. Thanks for the questions everyone!

4) When will you be back in NYC?
Can't wait! I will be coming for the flea market in September. Most likely Sept.22 thre 25

Congrats addict!

If you were recuperating in a hospital, who would you want in the bed next to you, excluding relatives?

What’s something that you’ve never done, but have always wanted to try?

What’s the last great gift that you gave someone? And, that you were given?

[bwayaddict]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 11:03am

Okay, before the baby wakes up! Thanks for the questions Franklin...

What is your favorite role you'd one day like to play (soon as you get casted on Broadway)?
Well, I would never get cast in any Broadway role but one of my favorite roles is the witch in Into the Woods. My daughter played that part in a very good high school production and I love the songs she gets to sing!

Which is your favorite Broadway songwriter/songwriter team?
I love Stephen Swartz and Stephen Sondheim

What do you do first when you wake up in the morning? ("getting up" doesn't count)
Well, I first have to let the dogs out(I now have three). Then I get my cup of coffee(very important). Then I have to sit on the couch for awhile and think about what I have to do for the day. Then I get ready for work. (During the school year) During the summer I'm usually on Broadway World!

If you were given the power, which past Broadway production would you undo so it never could have happened?
I probably would not undo anything. I'm a big believer in everything happens for a reason and good can come out of bad things. So I would find some good in any production even if it is just giving people jobs for a time

What's the naughtiest thing you have ever done on BWW?

What is your favorite Pop-Up ad?

Paper or plastic?

Yay for bwayaddict!

[bwayaddict]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 11:36am

What would you do if you found a wallet full of money that had the owner's ID inside?

Do you close your eyes when you kiss?
I think I do. It's been a long time since I've actually kissed anyone except on Sunday during mass when my husband and I kiss during peace-be-with-you part!

Which of the following three characteristics would be the least important in your ideal mate: Brains, Looks, or Money?
Well, since I already have an "ideal" mate and he definitely still has the looks and I was so young when we got married that's probably what I was caring about but now I tell my daughter's..it's just as easy to fall in love with someone who has money as someone who doesn't. I know money isn't everything but it helps!

What was the best/wildest party that you have ever been to?
I'm not a big party person..not that I don't like parties..I do but I don't get a chance to go to many. My one daughter worked on a cruise line as an entertainer for awhile and while visiting her I did have a "very" good time. Of course, I regreted it the next day as being on a ship with a hangover is not a good thing.

What is your favorite type of cuisine?
My favorite cuisine besides American is probably Italian. I love good pasta and tiramisu.

bwayaddict, you overlooked my first question.

Enjoy your day, ba! When DAME asked me to pick today's CotD, you were the first one I thought of.

And just to clarify, I asked Craig to announce because there was NO WAY I'd be here by 10:00 am EDT.

My usual questions:

If you were a shoe, what shoe would you be and why?

If you could have anyone over for dinner, who would it be and what would you serve them?

If we went out with you and your best friend, what story would he/she tell us about you that you wouldn't have told us yourself?

And now my myspace rip-off questions:

What goal would you like to achieve this year?

Your weakness?

Your biggest fear?

First thought waking up?

Do you shower daily?

Have you been in love?

Do you get along with your parents?

Coffee or Tea?

Cats or Dogs?

[miss pennywise]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 1:25pm

YAY!

Congratulations to a wonderful person, whom I admire greatly. I think I'm the BWWer who has gotten to be with you the most recently...lucky me! (And good thing you're not coming out here today!)

You have taught me how important it is to keep things in perspective and remember that life is a gift for us to honor and hold dear.

For you, Baddy...(Who says they don't have theatre in Michigan???)

[Mamie]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 1:29pm

I don't come here much lately, but for addict I just gotta! It couldn't happen to a nicer lady. Congratulations!


Only question I can think of off hand is - do you snore?

[peach]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 1:33pm

A belated congrats to DAME, and a hearltfelt hurrah for bwayaddict!

Hope you have a great day, addict!

So...
What's your Starbucks (or other preferred coffee shop) order?
What's your favorite ice cream?

[bwayaddict]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 1:35pm

Had to take a break to feed the baby and make some lunch!

Sorry Stage Manager 2..Here's the answer to the question I missed...What would you do if you found a wallet full of money that had the owner's ID inside?

I hope I'm honest enough to contact the person and give them their money back. I have had someone do the same for me. I did leave my purse with money at a rest stop on my way home from a New York trip once and thought it was gone. The following week a package arrived and when I opened it there was my purse with everything in tact! There are good people in the world. Now on the other hand last year I randomly found an envelope in my driveway with $60 in it with no names or identification. I considered it a gift from up above and used it for my trip to NY.

[bwayaddict]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 1:51pm

Now on the DG's question! DG you sent me my first PM and I enjoyed meeting you this year on our respective trips to NY!

What three bits of knowledge would you like to make sure you pass on to your grandchildren?
1. First and foremost..love your family because they are the most important people in your life
2. Don't sweat the small things...I used to think I had problems until I really had problems and now nothing is a problem in comparison.
3. Nothing is impossible if you really want something and you are willing to work hard not be discouraged.

What three things do you HAVE to have with you at a lake?
1. Books - I just finally read The DaVinci Code at the lake!
2. My dog - This year was the new puppy Walley. He had fun.
3. Good food and snacks - I tend to be the main cook on vacations but I also like to go out to good local eateries.

Thank you Cookie for all your fabulous pictures of yummy food.

What is your ideal meal? What is your favourite comfort food dish?

My ideal meal is probably a meal that somebody else cooks or leftovers from Thanksgiving dinner. I'm usually too tired to really enjoy the food on Thanksgiving.

My favourite comfort food is homemade vegetable soup or chicken noodle soup which I make with homemade noodles called kluski.

[bdwaygirl]

Posted: 8/24/06 at 2:18pm

Kluski! I remember my Babci's.


If you won a few million in the lottery, what would be the first few things you'd do?

What was your favorite t.v. show when you were growing up? Now?

What was your favorite song in high school?

What was your favorite childhood toy?
