Let's get to know each other a little better today.
Anyone want to play a game? It's called Five Fun Facts. List five things that I probably don't know about you, and I will do the same. It all has to be true!
1. My favorite indulgent snack is Ruffles chips with Alberts hot sauce
2. I get claustrophobic driving a car in the rain
3. If I really like a novel, I'll read, re-read and continue to re-read it a dozen times over the next few years.
4. There are 3 things (and three things only) that I refuse to buy store/value-brand: baggies, cereal bars, and dryer sheets.
5. My Southern accent greatly increases when I'm in my most polite, professional mode. I sense it, and hear it, but can't control it.
Your turn! Spill it!! =)
I'll play!
ReplyDelete1. I work in an office three days a week, and I keep a space heater going under my desk all day.
2. My husband and I lived in a small town in an apartment above his brother's barber shop for awhile. We shared the kitchen (a refrigerator, sink and burner) with the barbers. Fun times!
3. During that time, I was a reporter for a small-town newspaper that was next door to the barber shop.
4. My dad was a cattle rancher and farmer. I grew up helping on the farm, fishing, going on hunting trips (I was more of an observer than a hunter), and riding on tractors.
5. Now, I'm a city girl. I work in marketing and live in suburbia.
I love games like this! It's always fun to learn new things about people.
ReplyDelete1. When I'm driving I count up or down the mile markers. In Missouri they have mile markers every .2 miles, making trips through that state take so much longer!
2. I think that I have been in almost every county in Ireland...maybe all of them.
3. I worked in a library for about 2 1/2 years, and I mastered the whole looking over my glasses at the kids to keep them in line. :)
4. I had a poem published in a senior citizen paper when I was twelve. It was about my love/hate relationship with Minnesota winters.
5. I could literally eat pizza every day and not get sick of it. Yes, I have tested this theory!
Hmmm....considering everything we've talked about over the years, I'd be hard pressed to find 5 things you don't know about me. LOL!
ReplyDeleteThinking hard.....
1. I was bitten by a dog on a mission of mercy to a horrible pound. I'm afraid my mission of mercy most likely turned into a dog entering the not-so-happy hunting grounds earlier than it had planned.
ReplyDelete2. If I like a song, I play it over and over and over and over again. Feel very sorry for anyone within earshot.
3. My first official boyfriend ended up marrying my cousin, and I helped with the wedding reception.
4. I get pretty close to gagging if I try to eat a pancake.
5. I used to play the clarinet.
1. When I find a food I like, I eat it until I'm sick of it.
ReplyDelete2. I can't stand the feel of construction paper.
3. I bought a BEAUTIFUL $80 dress on sale recently and I feel both guilty and thrilled.
4. I've never left the country.
5. I'm learning how to drive a stick shift!
(this was hard!)
How fun!
ReplyDelete1. I took piano lessons for 10 years, but I rarely touch the piano now.
2. I love to drink orange juice when I eat pizza.
3. I'm allergic to morphine.
4. 2/3 of the states I've lived in start with the letter M.
5. I don't own a cell phone...yet!
1. I was born in New Orleans, (one of the many reasons I enjoy your books...I love picturing the places you mention!) and a cajun accent "returns" to me whenever I'm in a group of relatives lol
ReplyDelete2. I love to smile Ü
3. I prefer keeping the same ole phone rather than having the latest & "greatest" in cell phone technology
4. I write praise & worship music
5. Making cards & scrapbooking is one of my hobbies
