1. Are you pleasant when you're ill, or are you a grumpy, fussy patient?
2. When you find out that school is canceled (due to inclement weather) what is your gut reaction?
3. What is one domestic skill you wish you could improve?
4. Do you decorate your home for Valentine's Day?
5. What song is on your mind today?
6. Do you prefer contemporary movies or classic?
7. How well do you "compartmentalize" your feelings? For example, how well can you put aside a really trying moment to deal with the immediate situation which is not related to the trying moment, e.g., putting aside a tiff with your spouse in order to finish wallpapering a room.
8. What is the first thing that attracted you to your spouse? (Or if you're single, to your best friend.)
9. When was the last time your heart raced?
10. What are your memories of Valentine's Day at school?
11. If you were going to receive candy for Valentine's Day, which would you prefer?
12. Red or pink?
And now here's the scoop on the giveaway. A darling friend of mine makes these sweet aprons and sells them at our bookstore. All of the proceeds to go our connection with Kazakhstan, a country George and I have each visited separately for short projects, such as teaching English at a children's camp.
So Sherry made these--just for you. She came walking into my office carrying these sweet aprons, one for Mom or Grandma, one for girl. If you would like to be eligible for the drawing and you live within the continental US, please participate in this week's Random Dozen and leave a comment letting me know you'd like the aprons. So, just so that we're clear, I'm drawing from the comments, but you have to participate in the meme to leave a comment this week only. OK? I'll announce the winner at a later date, but the drawing closes Friday, Feb. 12 at 11:59 pm. I will do my best to mail them Saturday, but we're buried in snow, so you may not receive them before the 14th.
Oh, one more thing--I have an adult large T-shirt to give away, as well, which says, "What is love?" on it with a reference to 1 John 3:16. It could be cute for either you or your hubby on Valentine's Day, although he may not be into wearing hearts in public. (Perhaps he will wear it just for you, though!)

Love both the apron and the T-shirt! Count me in. Even though #1 never wins!
I participated in the Random Dozen. And I LOVE the apron. When I 1st saw the picture I was going to ask you where they came from so I could buy one for me and the kids.
So please put me in the apron drawing.
And I'm glad you are feeling better.
Hey Lid, I'm posted, linked up, and commenting. Count me in for your great giveaway. I already know who I'd bless with these fabulous aprons. Thanks so much for sharing. Blessings, SusanD
Glad you are feeling better :)
My answers to the random are up and linked. I'd like the aprons please : )
Hope you are feeling better!
Thanks, Linda, for another great set of questions. Participating today helps take my mind off the snow coming down outside. I'd say we're at 2 1/2 feet outside my sliding glass door. :(
I'd love to be entered into the give-away. Those are the cutest aprons!
Hope you're feeling better!
I love those adorable aprons! Tell Sherry she did a awesome job! I did my post today and am linked up!
How are you feeling now?
it's 8:15am and you'r @ 27 already...gooooooo, Liddie :)
Hi, Linda. Wow! It's just after 8:00, and there's already a long list of linkies today. I haven't participated in awhile, but I got a post up today.
Yes, please, to the aprons. Hopefully mildly related family is not excluded from this giveaway. :)
So cute. I asked for matching aprons for Christmas but didn't get them. I've joked about learning to make them myself. But winning them would be awesome. I enjoy the random dozen, have met so many wonderful bloggers through it. Keep it up!!!
Love the aprons AND the tshirt! Cute cute cute! : )
Lid, I'd love to be considered for the aprons. My teen daughter is now into cooking with me (on her terms, of course) and is a total MESS when she's finished.
Whether or not we get them though, let me say that I'm so glad you're on the mend, and very grateful for this chance to take a moment and answer thoughtful questions each week.
Blessings to you all!
I am linked up and ready to WIN those aprons. So pick me, pick me!!!!
How cute would me and my son look making those Valentine Petit Fours in those aprons!!!!
I can make a decision right now, I want to WIN the aprons!!!
The aprons are too cute! I have linked up and ready for a new CUTE apron. :) Can't waitto see your answers as well.
