Vaselology

OK, I've never done one of these before in my life. I think they're stupid. But yet, my sisters haven't proven themselves to be stupid, and they both did it, so maybe I'll do one and see what happens. But I'll also be nice and not tag anyone. For those of you lucky enough to have never read one of these, it's a bunch of random questions that people answer so that others may learn more about them.

They start with something like this:" Tag- You're it!!! Let others know a little more about yourself by re-posting and tagging your friends. Repost note as your name "ology"

Hmm, "Tomology" sounds dumb, so we'll go with "Vaselology" I'm one of the last Vasels in existence, anyway - and with my slight tendency to having girls, will probably stay that way.

Well, whatever I'm in the mood for at any given point. Tie me down, and it's probably Red Wine and Vinegar. I am partial to good creamy Ranch, though.

Anyone who has ever been to Shady Maple does not ask this question. There is honestly no competition. Shady Maple is the best - period.

What food could you eat for 2 weeks straight and not get sick of it?

What are your pizza toppings of choice?
Taco topping (thank you CiCis!), but of the "normal" toppings - jalepeno peppers, cheddar cheese, and chicken. Although shrimp, scallops, and squid is a good combo. And what about bacon, cheddar, and onions? More than one topping, that's for sure.

If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
Tom is a cool name, and Vasel (other than the myriad of people who spell it wrong) is pretty nice. Le Hatte de Vanache is pretty cool, but I don't think my wife would go for that.

My wife. This is going to be my answer 70% of the time. The other 30% is spread amongst my girls.

Favorite Season?
Summer. By far. Then I like Fall and Spring. Winter I hate. And despise. And hate.

Sunday, although I'm partial to Mondays, as I catch a quick break after a busy Sunday.

Had? How about have? I think we have about 16 right now, all of which have lasted almost two years!

Favorite Christmas song?
Joseph's Lullaby

What's on your wish list for your birthday?
Nothing. Why make a wish list when no one buys for you? But if I'm pretending, I need to get a new iPod to replace the one that was stolen. About 100 good Christian books would be nice, also.
