50 ODD Things About Me

(If you dislike these tagging lists, then stop reading now. This one seemed completely random so I liked it.)

1) Do you like blue cheese? Only with celery while eating hot wings.

2) Have you ever smoked crack? No, but I've eaten what we call coconut crack (call me if you want the recipe. It entails 3 kinds of chocolate chips, coconut, graham crackers, butter, condensed milk etc. You get the picture).

3) Do you own a gun? I do not personally own a gun but my husband has something in a gun case that I've never seen.

4) What flavor do you add to your drink at Sonic? Ideally, it would be a vanilla Dr. Pepper, but since I don't like to consume that much sugar in one sitting, it's vanilla Diet Coke.

5) Do you get nervous before doctors appointments? Depends on where they are probing me.

6) What do you think of hot dogs? They have to be black from the BBQ or from Pink's in Hollywood. That was seriously the best hot dog I have ever eaten.

Re 35: Quilting frame? Since when? I need to hear more.

Re 46: Oh yeeaaaaa. Too bad it's Sunday and my local jelly ring "dealer" is closed.

Numi: Since one of my Grandma's died and my mom didn't want to pack something she had never used all the way to Tennessee.

We cleaned our garage last weekend and I had every intention of getting rid of it until yesterday when I lent it to a humanitarian project being done. It didn't get used since (I had never used it I didn't know that) it was a baby quilt size. I think I might just keep it for the future. I could tie a quilt right?

Im SO on the other two LL books. Cant wait. Thanks again! I just loaned the Giver to Liz today.. Oh yeah..also just barely jumped on that damn SM bandwagon.(today, thanks mom) I swore i would never go there. Well im already half way thru TWLT (i cant even spell it all the way out, im way too embarrassed) and i have NM waiting. What got into me, i do not know.

sandi said...

So a couple of thoughts and questions.

What jiggly arms?? Seriously if you want to see some jello come for a visit!

Wasn't the fence like 10feet?

If Dave is dead and I am not can I sing? I'll sing "I just called to say I love you"?

You made me laugh remembering our paints!

I remember being in one of those car wrecks screaming while you kept repeating a certain word and then you yelling at me to stop screaming!! It's funny now.

Don't you love it when kids friends say that about you? A couple of weeks ago Malory informed me that her friend at school that saw me thought I was pretty and then she said, Mom, all of my friends tell me that! AHHHH so sweet. I guess they are still innocent enough to see through the JELLO!!

I will try to take a stab but I'm not making any promises!

When I read #12, I thought it said pornography.

athena said...

I'm glad I'm not the only one that needed to re-read that word!

Muriel said...

You all are making me think I spelled it wrong. P-H-O-T-O-G-R-A-P-H-Y. You know the art of taking pictures?

The Numismatist said...

Re# 12: As Athena's Mom, her misreading of that word doesn't surprise me!

Hey Muriel, my neighbor guy came over today and we really got into some heavy photography (no, not pornography) for over an hour. Oohh man, was that exhilarating! He just got a D40 like yours and is trying to work through that learning curve.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

jeny said...

i love code red, but i'm always a little too embarrassed to drink it...i don't know why. i didn't know they had diet. sweet!

Muriel said...

Jeny-maybe because it seems like a teenager's drink. I don't know. But yes, there is diet. It's soooo good!

Natalie Jo said...

Re #21: What's wrong with the name Renesmee? I really think it's a cute name!

apyknowzitall said...
