Ok, it is another question blog. You'd think I would get tired of these after a bit, right?
1. Name someone with the same birthday as you.
My younger son's girlfriend
2.Where was your first kiss?
In 7th grade- on the steps at my best friend's house. It was her older brother (9th grade)
3. Have you ever seriously vandalized someone else’s property?
no, unless you count planning it in my dreams
4. Have you ever hit someone of the opposite sex?
Only my little brother when I was younger. Unless you count playful jabs on the arm.
5. Have you ever sung in front of a large number of people?
Plenty of times.
6. What’s the first thing you notice about the opposite sex?
Usually their eyes and their smile.
7. What really turns you on?
Someone who listens- who really listens!
8. What do you order at Starbucks?
Usually something that has so much cream, sugar, and flavoring in it that it doesn't taste like coffee. My favorite is the pumpkin spice latte they have in the fall.
9. What is your biggest mistake?
Hmm... that is a good one. I can't say marrying the ex, because then I wouldn't have the kids. I can say allowing him to buy a way too expensive truck 3 months before he left-- with my name on the loan. If I had known he was cheating at the time, I would never have signed.
10. Have you ever hurt yourself on purpose?
I do plenty of hurting myself on accident- why would I do it on purpose?
11. Say something totally random about yourself.
I really don't like pizza.
12. Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?
No, I have never had anyone tell me that.
13. Do you still watch kiddy movies or tv shows?
With an 11 year old in the house, are you kidding? Right now we're watching Suite life of Zach and Cody.
14. Did you have braces?
Yes- for 5 years!
15. Are you comfortable with your height?
I'm 5'8". I'm glad I'm not shorter- I'd just be fatter!
16. What is the most romantic thing someone of the opposite sex has done for you?
Wow- I can't really think of anything. I'm learning that I didn't have a really caring husband- Scott has done more for me as a friend than he ever did.
17. When do you know it’s love?
Good question- anyone have an answer?
18. Do you speak any other languages?
I would like to learn Spanish (so I can talk to my fellow Americans) but I'm not doing a good job of learning it!
19. Have you ever been to a tanning salon?
Not in the past 20 years.

Reader's Digest

24. What’s something that really annoys you?
People who take up the entire aisle in a store with their cart on one side and them on the other- and then pretend like they don't see you.
25. What’s something you really like?
Exploring- adventures. Going and doing or seeing something I've never seen before.
26. Do you like Michael Jackson?
Not after the Thriller album.
27. Can you dance?
As long as no one watches. I have two left feet.

29. Have you ever been rushed by an ambulance into the emergency room?
No, but I rode in one with my (then) husband once..
30. Do you actually read these when other people fill them out?
Depends on how bored I am- and how much I really like the person.
I am SO with you on this one!
ReplyDeleteYou know, I think I'm the bad girl out of this group. *sigh* I hit a guy.
I'm sure he deserved it.
ReplyDeleteHe threw me up against a locker because his latest 'girlfriend' said I was spreading rumors about him. *sigh* What a crock. So much for big jock football player looking so tough in front of all the guys. (I knocked him on his butt.)
ReplyDeleteYep, he deserved it.
ReplyDeleteI was really mad. I wasn't mad that he threw me against the locker. I was mad because of his accusations. *sigh*
ReplyDelete*Note to self: Try not to make Abby mad...
ReplyDelete*Note to Dave: I wouldn't knock you on your butt. I'd be a little bit nicer than that.
ReplyDeleteThat's 'cause you love me.
ReplyDeleteWell, that's part of it. I'd mean REALLY mean and cry in front of you.
ReplyDeleteInteresting question/answer post. I'm guilty of a couple of these questions. I once burned Einstein's clothes after he posted a nude picture of me ... and, I did hit a man once ... only once.
ReplyDeleteI want to be tough enough to stand up to someone. I'm learning- but a long way from hitting them. It probably wouldn't hurt anyway.
ReplyDeleteAnd Abby, that doesn't make you a bad girl!
Yeah it does.
ReplyDeleteNo, it makes you a strong girl who won't be pushed around.
ReplyDeleteI'm 5'8" too. This is one of the better ones like this floating around here.
ReplyDelete*rolling my eyes*
ReplyDeleteI was SO mad that day!
YAY! Someone else I can look in the eye without having to jump! YAY!
ReplyDeleteOh...just give me some booze and I'm at least a foot taller than that. lol
ReplyDeleteHey Doug, you can be in mine and Abby's 5'8" club!
ReplyDeleteGive me some booze and I'm about 4' shorter- passed out.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I like the hard stuff. I just can't have a lot of it. My limit these days is about two drinks. But by golly, I can shoot pool really well when I'm drunk! lmao!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! Where do I sign up?
ReplyDeleteI think you just did!
ReplyDeleteYou party animal! lol
ReplyDeleteOh, keep me away from the hard stuff. The Irish in me comes out big time. Just give me a beer or two and I'm happy.
ReplyDeleteI prefer Bailys myself.
ReplyDeleteI stick to wine these days. And then not much of that!
ReplyDeleteOh, that stuff is goooood! Just don't keep it any longer than you need to. I always thought that booze never expired. That stuff gets kind of fowl after a while. You could strip the paint off the walls with just the scent of it alone.
ReplyDeleteThat stuff is special ocassion-type stuff for me. I was best man in a buddy's wedding back in 2001 and they had seriously 50 bottles of wine at the reception. Nobody was drinking it so the wedding party thought it would be fun to see of we could drink as much of it as we could. Before the night was over with, I was staggering all over the place and carrying a bottle of wine in each hand. I looked like the poster boy for liver shrinkage that night.
ReplyDeleteI keep telling you that you need to try Bunrattys, since you like the sweet stuff.
ReplyDeleteI've been in that condition, only we were playing kill the keg.
ReplyDeleteOh, THAT was what we did at a wedding a few months prior to THAT one.
ReplyDeleteI think I made my poster picture on tequila... I still can't smell the stuff without feeling sick.
ReplyDeleteRemember Purple Passion? That stuff smells the same thrown up. I dated a girl who drank that stuff like water. She always managed to throw up at every party we went to too.
ReplyDeleteUck.
ReplyDelete*whispers* I liked Everclear. That stuff WILL take the varnish off your dining room table. *oops*
OMG! We were just having this conversation today!!!!
ReplyDeleteI just did buy a bottle of Baileys. The kids put the groceries away and I've not been able to find it now. I think they hid it from me.
