One Foot on a Banana Peel

Life and blogging are slow in the summer, so here’s another meme.  Lifted this one from Maria.

1) Are you taller than your mother?

Not really.  I think we are about the same height.  But we are both waaaay taller than either one of my aunts or my grandparents.

2) What color is your car?

Wine red with a cluttered gray interior. 

3) What is the closest thing to you that is red?

A Country Weekly magazine.  Meg uses it as a reference when downloading music.

4) What is your ringtone?

I bounce back and forth between "It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere" and "Down In Mississippi"

5) Are you sick?

Now and then.

6) What color is your favorite pillow?

Kind of an off white at the moment.  I am hard on pillows and get a new one every month or so.

7) Favorite video game?

Jewel Quest Solitaire and Bookworm.

8) Nap today?

Actually, I did.

9) Gold or silver?

Silver.

10) Is there an animal that creeps you out?

Snakes and sharks are my big phobias, but I’m not particularly fond of anything cold blooded.

11) The last person you rode an elevator with?

Geez, I need to get out more often because I don’t remember the last time I rode an elevator.  It’s been months.

12) Did you go ice skating as a kid?

A few times, but my ankles always turned out (same with roller skating) and I never could see the fun in either falling on my butt constantly or hanging onto the rail for dear life.

13) Last person you had an argument with.

Tim or Megan.  I end up arguing with them all the time.  They are both stubborn as the day is long and they always think they are right.  Oh, did I say that out loud?

14) Ever have stitches?

Nope.  No broken bones either, unless you count a toe and I don’t because they don’t do anything for a broken toe.

15) Favorite non alcoholic drink?

Pepsi.

16) How long ago did you kiss someone?

This morning when Tim left for work.

17) What is something that you want to do before you die?

Live on a farm.

18) Ever caught something on fire?

Possibly.

19) Ever seen a ghost?

I don’t know.  There used to be things going on at night in my parents’ house that creeped my out and that I swore were due to ghosts, but I don’t think I ever saw anything.

20) Ever seen the northern lights?

Sadly, no.

21) Do you know how to use chopsticks?

Yes. I’m just not that good with them.

22) Something good that happened today?

I tried Reese’s new peanut butter cup flavor…peanut butter and banana cream.  It is sooo good.

23) Are you worried about something you can’t control?

Constantly.  I am a chronic worrier.

24) Do you take daily meds?

I take provera, but only 10 days a month.

25) Ever been in a fight?

No.  I missed my calling as a diplomat.

26) Wearing nail polish?

Yes. Clear on my fingers and Flutterby (kinda lavender) on my toes.

27) Favorite color?

Yellow.  I like happy.

28) Innie or outie?

In.

29) Ever used a Ouija board?

Yep, then I got religion and now they scare the crap out of me and I won’t even have one in the house.

30) Sweet or sour?

I like both about the same.  Now if salty had been on the list……

31) Sun or Moon?

The sun.

32) What shoes did you wear today?

Hot pink flip flops.

33) Favorite eye color of the opposite sex?

It doesn’t matter, but Tim’s are blue.

34) Most important quality in a relationship.

Love.  Not romantic, mushy, lusty "love."  I’m talking about real love, not a feeling.  The kind where you make a decision to put the other person first, to always look out for them and their needs, to cherish them for the rest of your lives.

35) Favorite zombie movie?

The Night of the Living Dead movies.  The first one has scenes filmed in a cemetery near here. The second one was filmed at Monroeville Mall, where I have shopped many times.

36) Time of day that you were born?

4:30 pm

37) Do you know your blood type?

A positive.  The same as Tim and the kids.

38) What would you spend 500 dollars on right now?

Back to school clothes for Megan.

39) Name something annoying in public transit?

I don’t have any real experience with public transit so I couldn’t say.

40) Did you grow up in a city or in the country?

Mostly in the country and for a few years, in the forest.

41) Consider going on a reality show for a large amount of money?

You couldn’t pay me enough.

42. Flown in your dreams?

Not that I remember, but I don’t remember very many of my dreams.  I am a very sound, deep sleeper.

43. Hugs or kisses?

Hugs, cause they’re nice from everyone.

44) Ten dollars to spend in a dollar store. What on?

Cleaning products, seasonal decorations, books.

45) Slurpee flavor?

I don’t like Slurpees.
