Saturday 9

Hakuna Matata

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Hakuna Matata

1) Sam is crazy for The Lion King. Do you have a favorite Disney movie?

I don't really have a favorite.  I really like The Lion King and Beauty and the Beast.
2) The song tells us that Hakuna Matata "means no worries." Is something worrying you right now?

I'm worrying about loved ones and issues they are dealing with right now.

3) Who is the most optimistic person you know?

My daughter.  She's 4 and she can put a positive spin on anything :)

4) Elton John wrote "Hakuna Matata" but didn't record it. Name a song Sir Elton is famous for singing.

Benny and the Jetsssssss :)

5) Can you play the piano?

Not well :)

6) Congratulations! You just won a guided African Safari Tour! 8 days in Zambia and Botswana for you and a friend. All expenses paid, and allowing you access to breathtaking, unforgettable sights. It takes at least 30 hours to get there, and before you go you'll need yellow fever and hepatitis vaccinations and medication to prevent malaria. Are you up for it?

It sounds great but I couldn't be away from my kids for 8 days.
7) There's been a mistake. You really won a 4-night Disney Bahamas Cruise for two. Are you relieved or disappointed that you'll be partying with a guy in a Simba suit on the Lido Deck instead of observing a real lion in the wild?

Still a tough one.  That's still four nights away from the kids, plus I'd feel guilty going on a Disney cruise without them :P

8) Let's bring this back to real life -- do you have any vacation plans?

Nope.  We plan on going camping a lot this summer but I don't consider that a vacation at all.  I still do all the cooking, cleaning and most of taking care of the kids.  The only way it's different than being home is that everything gets a little dirtier and there's not as much space.

9) Describe your luggage. Is it durable and high quality? Or are you like Crazy Sam, who has been known to use an Old Navy shopping bag as her carry-on?

My mom got us a really nice luggage set when we got married.  It is very durable and we used it all when we went on our honeymoon.
