Snuggle Saturday!

Welcome to Snuggle Saturday!!! Natalie at At Home with the Hinkleys and Sarah at Love, Sarah K are pairing up and bringing you every Saturday, the Snuggle Saturday link up! 
They have asked me to co host with them and I am so excited to host the first link up! I can't wait to read your posts in response to the question! Check it out! 

If you could have dinner 
with one historical figure, who would you choose and why? 

I have so many great answers to this question. I could give you a silly answer and say Pocahontas. I mean hello, that would probably be pretty awesome to have lunch with someone from the 1600's. 

One of my all time favorite actresses/comedians is Lucille Ball. I'm obsessed. I love her. I have recently watched the documentary/movie on her and Desi's life. And holy crap, what a roller coaster she was on.
I first fell in love with Lucy when I was in middle school. I had to do a report on someone with the same name as me or similar names. Some weird topic. And Lucy's middle name is Desiree. I fell even more in love with her life when I hit high school and went through 4 years of TV production. Lucy and Desi basically pioneered the 3-camera-technique when it comes to television, which is now the norm for television citcoms. How crazy. This stuff might now blow your mind like it does mine, but Lucy was brilliant. I could go on and on and on. But I will spare you. I'll stick with how inspirational and genuine she was. She had a crazy life, she made mistakes, she had triumphs. She lived her life. 
Oh and also, I used this video to announce our pregnancy on Facebook. Cute, or what? 
And of course, one of the most popular scenes in one of the funniest episodes. It gets me every time.
I think its self explanatory, but Lucy was brilliant. She was hilarious, had the biggest personality. And she made it look so easy. It was just natural to her. I would love to sit down at lunch with Lucy and just have the craziest conversations. I love her. Hahah.

I totally did a report on her in high school! I still watch her on TV whenever I see it on! :)
I'm like, man why didn't I pick Lucille? Hahaha~ Good choice, Desirae! Thanks for cohosting!

What a wonderful pick! I love Lucy. She was always so funny without being vulgar and never using profanity! She is awesome. I would have so much fun with her and I would teach her a little spanish so she could talk back to Desi when he started yelling at her!

Ok seriously ironic, I too am obsessed with Lucy! She died the year I was born (I'm a young buck). I've seen every episode and could probably name specifics from each! I would deff choose her to meet if I could reincarnate an entertainer that passed away!!!

Kristin Cho said...

haha I would probably choose someone like Pocahontas for real!

Lucille Ball is pretty amazing though, yes ;)

Loved getting to know your blog today Desirae!
