Another Cool Meme. Really, I only do this sort of thing to entertain my daughters. They already know me and so the object is only to answer the questions in a way that will make them laugh. The rest of the blogging world is oblivious to my contributions.
Learn 50 things about your friends, and let them learn 50 things about you!
1. How tall are you barefoot? I maxed out at 5' 4 3/4" when I was in high school and have shrunk down to 5' 4 1/2". Until 3 months ago when I applied for a new life insurance policy and the agent told me to stand up as tall as I possibly could for the medical exam so that I could get a better height/weight ratio. So now...ahem...I am 5' 5" (with an eyeroll from the nurse).
2. Have you ever been unfaithful in a relationship? Over 35 years ago I started dating my DH while I was dating Machoboy (see post on September 15). But since we (MB and I)had no "understanding" about a relationship, I don't think it was cheating. That's it.
3. Do you own a gun? The answer that people who know me would expect would be "no", but we actually own several. We have land in the country and like to target shot.
4. Have you had a mental disorder? Aside from beating the daylights out of my terrified husband because he ate an avocado that I had plans for, I've lead a very respectable emotional life. Yes, I used my fists, but I was 9 1/2 months pregnant and I really wanted that avocado.
5. Why is a raven like a writing desk? I'm thinkin' it's the feathers.
6. What do you think of hot dogs? Considering the fact that they're made from leftovers of the Very.Worst.Kind, you'd do better to eat squid lips.
7. What's your favorite Christmas song? These days, I'm kind of a Hanukkah girl, but I still LOVE my old bell choir's arrangement of "Ding, Dong, Merrily on High".
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? I make myself drink water, but then I end up with decaf green tea with half and half and vanilla syrup? Yum :-)
9. Do you do push-ups? I did some in high school. I think that is sufficient.
10. Have you ever done ecstasy? No.
11. Do you have a boyfriend/girlfriend? I have my sweet hubby, who is also my boyfriend. This was "kelli in the mirror"s answer, but it cannot be improved upon.
12. Do you like the rain? Very much. Once you have actually lived through a drought that resulted in water rationing (as in sharing a tee-tee flush), you NEVER complain about rain. Not even if it ruins your garage sale.
13. Are you sweet? Why yes, I am, thank you very much!
14. Do you have A.D.D.? I have been told that having every cabinet door in your kitchen open all the time (even when your family members go around behind you closing them!) is proof of Adult A.D.D. In which case, I've been tried and found Guilty.
15. Full initials? KBKS
16. Do you like the snow? Oh, yes! Particularly after I found out that being dressed in the right kind of winter gear means you actually can stay warm and dry. (Snow in Texas back when I was a kid meant tennis shoes with bread bags over them, a sure way to end up with popsicle toes.)
17. Name 4 thoughts at this exact moment. Wondering what time hubby will be home. Wondering what I can make for dinner out of the chicken broth I boiled all day. Wondering if I can make it one more day on the almost empty can of baby formula. (I can't). Trying to decide whether or not to keep the shirt I just ordered in the mail, 'cause it doesn't fit as nicely as I hoped it would.
18. Name the last 3 things you have bought in the past week: $24 worth of salad fixings to take to a covered dish dinner; 2 Hershey bars (No, I didn't eat them both at the same time. I ate one whole one and three quarters of the other before I went to bed and then finished up the last quarter as soon as I woke up--after I drank my water, of course.)
19. Have you ever been arrested? No.
20. What time did you wake up today? About 3:00am. My husband woke me up when he came to bed really late (because he had a nap yesterday afternoon). I couldn't get back to sleep and then the alarm went off at 5:15. And yes, I was snarly and then had to apologize.
21. Can you spell? Sure can!
23. Current hate? Nothing comes to mind. I'll get back to you if I think of something.
24. Favorite place to be? Someplace cool. I like cool. If I get too warm, I have one of those annoying mid-life "power surges"--which you can now use as the answer to #23. Really hate those power surges.
25. Least favorite place to be? Someplace that makes me sweaty.
26. Where would you like to go? Israel. I've wanted to go there for a long time, but now it will eventually happen because my DH said to start a fund for the trip. (I've got $40 saved up at this point, so I'm thinking I don't need to start packing yet.)
27. Do you own slippers? Yes. But I might as well get rid of them, because not only do they make me too hot (see Questions 23, 24, and 25 on why that is a bad thing), but I also want to wear my Reeboks if I'm going to be standing around--even if it's to make breakfast. I look cute in a nightgown and sneakers.
28. Where do you think you'll be in 10 yrs? Living a very happy, healthy, debt-free life, waiting for Jesus to come back (very soon).
29. Do you burn or tan? I burn unmercifully. And it doesn't turn into tan. It peels off and stays white underneath. (I want my dad's skin. But my sister got it.) Again, this is "kelli in the mirror"s response. Her sister got the tanning skin from their dad. She got the burning skin from Moi.
30. Yellow or blue? Blue. Always. There is no bad time or place to choose blue over every other color.
31. Would you be a pirate? Nah, I'd be hanging over the side of the ship, barfing into the ocean.
32. When was the last time your phone rang? About an hour ago. A daughter with a question.
33. What songs do you sing in the shower? I have a boom box in the bathroom and it has had the same CD in it for over two years. I play it every morning. I love the songs and I tell time by them. If I'm in a hurry, I have to be out by the time the first song is over. If it's a regular morning, I can shower for two songs. And if it's the weekend, I luxuriate with 5 songs. The CD is Yeshua by Steve McConnell.
34. What did you fear was going to get you at night as a child? I just had a general sense of unease about things that go bump in the night.
35. What's in your pockets right now? Denim capris with no pockets.
36. Last thing that made you laugh? I don't recall, but I make a point of laughing as hard as I can every chance I get. I read that laughing boosts your immune system for 3 days and I try to be very kind to my immune system (because I feed it too much chocolate).
37. Best bed sheets you had as a child? Back in those days, sheets came in white. Everyone in our family slept on white sheets.
38. Worst injury you've ever had? I fell off the monkey bars when I was six years old and broke both the bones in my left forearm. One was a green stick break (picture snapping a green stick in half--one side splinters and the other side just bends). The whole thing had to be set by an orthopedic surgeon.
39. Have you ever crashed a car/truck? No
40. How many TVs do you have in your house? Two. Living room and playroom.
41. Would you ever buy an iguana? Ick, not into reptiles
42. Are you attracted to your same sex? No
44. Do you wish on stars? No.
45. What is your favorite book? That's a little like asking which is your favorite child (and they know the answer to that!) I just read and reread. and read again.
46. What song did you last hear? Some little ditty off the Baby Song DVD
47. Do you think Mormons are hot? This question doesn't even make sense.
48. What is your favorite cereal? Cereal is pretty much off the radar screen these days. All glutened. I do miss my delicious homemade granola.
49. What were you doing at midnight last night? Sleeping, and assuming that my silly husband would be coming to bed at some point.
50. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up? Bad day to ask that question. Usually, my first thought is "Good morning, sweetie!" We've already determined that I was not my cheerful self this morning.
Well, look at me, finished in less than a week. You know, of course, that that means we have no dinner. But I can't do everything!

:) This made me smile.
You know, if you think nobody reads your blog, it's probably because you don't leave many comments on other people's. If you'd quit lurking, people would come to see who was checking their blogs. :)
Good job, my little barfing Pirate.
I had the tx style, bread bag instant snow shoes, too! :)
Slippery little suckers!
Yes, Kelli is correct. I came to your blog because you posted on mine, but I was here for a while before I figured out who you were! (Sorry, I'm slow and K is not much of a clue) :) And thank you, we think she's pretty gorgeous too.
Well, dear Kathy, my friend, are you getting all caught up after your whirlwind tour of southern California????????? I do miss you already, but I'm working (well, not right now, of course) hard to catch up with grading vocabulary words! Hmmmm. Love, Sue
PS Did I say that it was interesting to read some of your answers. :)
