Well.  Julia certainly nailed a lot of these.  I am pretty impressed that she knows my favorite tv show and my bucket list dream destination.  And while Madeleine was clueless on *pretty much* everything, she managed to correctly name my favorite drink.  Favorite food was a strike out with both kids, but at least they picked foods I do, indeed, enjoy.  

Well, dinner (which didn't include my favorite foods of meatballs and apple pie) is done so it's time to get the kids to bed and get watching that show that I watch with Daddy at night.  And maybe while I'm at it, I can get really adventurous and think about my travel plans to, of all places in the whole wide universe, my home.
