Seventy Meme.
- Are your parents married or divorced? Married. To each other.
- Are you a vegetarian? Hah. I love meat. I have to make myself eat veggies.
- Do you believe in Heaven? Yes. And hell, too.
- Have you ever come close to dying? Depends on how you mean that.
- What jewelery do you wear 24/7? Wedding and engagement rings. Also, whatever necklace I happen to be wearing and forgot to take off.
- Favorite time of day? Sunset-time. I really like the beauty and peacefulness of the end of the day.
- Do you eat the stems of broccoli? Yes. You know what's awesome? To simmer them, blend them, and mix the hot broccoli puree with cheese and some milk and rice, maybe, and have a tasty soup.
- Do you wear makeup? A little. (Eyeshadow, lipstick. Sometimes blush.)
- Ever have plastic surgery? No.
- What do you wear to bed? Clothes.
- Have you ever done anything illegal? Yes. I often speed while driving. And once I accidentally went the wrong way on a one way. And I jaywalk, too.
- Can you roll your tongue? Yeah.
- Do you tweeze your eyebrows? I try, but I got kind of lazy and hadn't for a while, so I got them waxed for the wedding. Heather is, as a bridesmaid put it, really sensitive to facial hair, so she was pleased I got them waxed.
- What kind of sneakers? New Balance.
- Do you believe in Abortions? I believe they happen? Do I believe they should? No.
- What is your Hair color? Dark blond. Hair-colored.
- Future child’s name? Classified. But we've got a pretty short list. (Not that I'm pregnant!)
- Do you snore? No, but I snort when I laugh sometimes.
- If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be? To a houseboat with all my family and friends. That would have to be several houseboats, and it would have to be someplace warm with warm (at least not-cold) water.
- Do you sleep with stuffed animals? Not anymore. I did, right up until I married at age 25. And I still did a few more times after I married, but only when I was sick. He didn't mind.
- If you won the lottery, what would you do first? Cry. Then scream.
- Gold or silver? Silver.
- Hamburger or hot dog? Both! Cheeseburger, lettuce, mayo; hot dog, ketchup.
- If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Something of my mom's. Probably her veggie soup.
- City, beach or country? City for shopping. Beach for relaxing. Country for relaxing, too, and for going on long walks and hikes.
- What was the last thing you touched? Besides the computer and other technology toys? Umm, a crochet hook and yarn.
- Where did you eat last? TV tray, breakfast cereal.
- When’s the last time you cried? During the wedding pictures. The organist was practicing the wedding march, and it was so beautiful. But I didn't ruin my eye makeup, so no worries.
- Do you read blogs? Duh.
- Would you ever go out dressed like the opposite sex? Ok, I'm a girl. I've worn pants. Is that what you mean?
- Ever been involved with the police? I got a speeding ticket once. And I had to go to court. AND I watch Law and Order all the time. And CSI:.
- What’s your favorite shampoo conditioner and soap? Dove.
- Do you talk in your sleep? Yes.
- Ocean or pool? Ocean. No chlorine to bleach out my suit, dry out my skin, and turn my blond hair green.
- So, who has the original missing questions? Not me. They were most likely icky. I've already taken out four.
- Here's an icky question. My replacement: Week-at-a-glance, month-at-a-glance, or something else? I like a month- AND a week-at-a-glance.
- Window seat or aisle? Window. I like to look out. But aisle if it's a flight to Hawaii. There's only water between the continent and them. 5 hours of ocean. Bleah.
- Ever met anyone famous? Not superfamous, but I waited on the mayor of Colorado Springs one, when I worked at a dry cleaner during my first job. And I saw Julia Robers in Chicago O'Hare airport once. She has quite an entourage and looked a little pissy, like she was straining on the toilet and had just eaten some lemon. Not a good look.
- Do you feel that you’ve had a truly successful life? Yes, but not due to me. (Ok, that was my canned-doctrinally sound answer. Here's what I really feel but often delete because I believe my doctrine more: Successful? Maybe. It depends who's asking and who you're comparing me to.)
- Do you twirl your spaghetti or cut it? Twirl when it's fresh. Cut when it's reheated and the noodles are a little less slippy.
- Ricki Lake or Oprah Winfrey? Ick. Is Ricki still on? Here's a better question: Martha or Rachael Ray? Ummm, Martha, just because Rachael kind of irritates me with her hyper-ness and her voice and her lack of ability to listen to the experts she invites on her show to give advice. And another thing: I really hate Meredith Veiera. She doesn't listen either.
- Basketball or Football? Neither. I like to watch volleyball. And live hockey games are cool. I get football more now that they have the glow stripes on TV...I could have enjoyed more football during my childhood if only they had invented those earlier. I'd ask my dad what was going on and he's say "That's the center, he's about to hike to the quarterback and he'll GOGOGO YEAHHH WOO HOOOOOOO!" Not very helpful to me at that time.
- How long do your showers last? Our shower drain doesn't go too fast, so it can't be too long. 5-10 minutes.
- Automatic or do you drive a stick? Automatic, but The Dude thinks I'd enjoy a stick.
- Cake or ice cream? Cake. They had chocolate groom's cake with chocolate icing at the reception. I got a corner piece. It was super.
- Are you self-conscious? It depends on the situation. Not usually.
- Have you ever drank so much you threw up? Nope.
- Have you ever given money to a beggar? Yes. Once. I also bought a couple cans of soup (the pop top kind), some plastic spoons, and a Snickers for a guy living behind the Aldi. He cried. He didn't want the Snickers, said it wasn't very nutritious and a homeless guy didn't need candy. I told him nobody needs candy but we still buy them anyway. I made him take it.
- Have you been in love? Yes.
- Where do you wish you were? Living near my family so I could stop by anytime.
- Are you wearing socks? Yes. And slippers. I get cold feet.
- Have you ever ridden in an ambulance? No.
- Can you tango? No, but I could learn. I can polka like a Latvian, though.
- Last gift you received? Bridesmaid gift (which was awesome, by the way): an embroidered leather purse (each of us got one with our monograms), containing Mary Kay Satin Hands, cool Target choxies, a cute pink umbrella, nice Bath and Body Works body lotion, and nice Bath and Body Works body spray. Yay.
- Last sport you played? Croquet, last summer at Happy Camp V. Also bocce. AND guess what??? I won the croquet game! I beat my dad; I won for the first time ever!!!!!!
- Things you spend a lot of money on? We don't have a lot of money. BUT if we did, we'd buy books. I would buy more craft supplies, esp. a better sewing machine and fabric. No, wait. A washer and dryer.
- Where do you live? Chattanooga. Hence "chattablogs."
- Where were you born? Colorado, of course.
- Last wedding attended? Heather's, two days ago. Woo hoo!
- This question was deleted when I got this meme, so I'm making my own up: Organ music or piano music? Piano. Unless Friberg is playing the organ.
- So was this one. Another made up question: The South or the Southwest? Southwest. No bugs! No humidity! Blue skies! Ahhh.
- Most hated food(s)? Most anything where you're eating the whole animal, like shrimp. I don't like seafood. And I don't like lima beans.
- What’s your least favorite dessert? That's a hard one. I don't care for flan or other custardy desserts. They're too gloopy.
- Can you sing? When others sing with me.
- Last person you instant messaged? The Dude, back in 2004.
- Last place you went on holiday? I just got back from Dallas and the Rantal-Greene Wedding. Being one of eight bridesmaids made it a fun no-boys-allowed time.
- Favorite regular drink? Coke. But when I'm being healthy, it's cold milk. Skim.
- Current Song? Let me go put three fun CD's in and tell you. Be right back...here I am! And it's Alison Kraus and Union Station's "Cluck Old Hen" (from their Live album).
- Tag 3 friends. I don't tag for memes. Do this one if you want to. And add questions of your own.
