My oldest son is on facebook. It sort of forced my hand to join the major network of people as well. I'm not too excited to be there--too much stuff to keep track of--but it has been fun to reconnect with some old high school friends and get a little more personal with some local friends. I've also connect with some family members that I haven't seen or heard from in over 20 years! WOW has it been that long.
Well, anyway, I got tagged--not sure exactly what to do but I think I copy the questions and then tag someone else. I'm not sure I will tag others, don't mind being tagged, but not sure I will tag others. I thought I would also put the answers here:
I'm sure you already know the drill...copy the questions into a new note, rewrite your answers over the ones that are there, tag people that you think will keep this thing going, including the person you got it from.
1) What is your favorite color of ink to write in?: blue, but red if available
2) Have you ever been in a car accident?: Yes, 2 small ones and one in Nov 2002 that nearly took my life (still fighting the physical and mental effects), they had to use the jaws of life to get me out.
3) Have you ever been on TV?: not to my knowledge
4) Do you think you were an adorable little kid?: Of course I was!
5) What color is your pillow case?: I sleep with at least four pillows, two are white, one blue and the other a lavender color, if I need more I steal my husband's and they are lavender, cream and who knows what other colors. This is to help my back, shoulder and neck feel comfortable from my accident and surgeries so I can sleep.
6) What is your favorite song?: I love music but I don't have favorite popular song. I'm always humming whatever song my children just finished playing either on the piano or boom box, which isn't always a good thing. We are reliving the 80's at my house so the mix is great!
7) What’s your favorite scary movie?: don't watch scary movies, so the scariest movie would be "Monsters INC". It has monsters in it now doesn't it?
8) Are you afraid of the dark?: Not really. I don't necessarily like it, but I'm not scared of it either. I really hate tripping over things in the dark so I do like a night light for that reason.
9) Have you ever liked someone so much that it hurts? Steve, my mom and my children.
10) Do you have any tattoos?: no, and never will. I have a hard time with needles--way too many in my adult life have been stuck into me, but I don't faint when they do it to me.
11) Have you ever egged a house?: nope but my house has been egged
12) Do you look more like your mom or your dad?: My mom. Our baby pictures are very similar. Add my daughter in the mix and it is spooky.
13) How tall are you? Not tall enough as 2 of my kids are taller and a third one is close, very close. I'm 5'5".
14) What’s your favorite flavor of ice cream?: chocolate chip mint
15) Describe the person that sent this to you in one word: SMART
16) What can you smell?: My dog who is sitting in my lap. (He needs a bath--the kids just took him for a walk in the wet streets.)
17) Do you have a laptop or desktop?: Both, but I use my desktop more often.
18) If you could own a monkey, would you?: Nope!
19) How Did You Get One Of Your Scars?: Just one--but the stories are all fun. The one by my eye is from hitting the corner of a counter when I was little--Mike, my brother, pushed me. The ones in my back are from surgeries and the five in my shoulder are from having my rotator cuff redone. I have one on my hand from being stabbed (I did it myself--at work and then played a volleyball game with two stitches), and same hand some burn marks (again I did it--but I saved my kitchen and my baby from being burnt). My knees are scarred from riding my bike---one really good one! I love my scars--they prove I have lived!
20) Who was the last person to make you mad? My 17 year old, who I think takes delight in it.
21) What do you do when you have a bad day?: Write, watch a good movie or read a great book.
22) What does your hair look like?: I just spent the last year and a half growing my bangs out in honor of my sister's fight with cancer (which she lost) and now I keep it long because my husband likes it that way. Not sure I like it though. I've never not had bangs and it has been over 8 years since I had hair past my collar. I also keep it highlighted so that my hair has some body--it is so fine and thin that I would look bald without it being highlighted. And of course it is straight as uncooked spaghetti!
23) Are you quick to start a fight?: I think not, but I'm sure my family thinks otherwise.
24) What is your concession stand must-have at the movies?: nothing--can't stand anything they have and refuse to pay those prices! Instead I go to dinner before or after.
25) Let's say a brick fell on your foot, and your kid is standing right next to you, what is your 'cleaned up' swear word?: nonsense words--just sounds put together.
