Another "Get To Know Me"

I couldn't land on anything to write about today, so I chose to do the "Get To Know Me" meme from Mike M's blog.

Hope this is enough information for you to say, "Hey, I'm beginning to know In_spired".

1 WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yes, my mom and my dad. Nancy Jacqueline (Jacqueline being the derivative of John)

2 WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? I'm not a cryer. I can't remember the last time I cried.

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? It's passable. Better when I'm not in a hurry.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? None, nil, nada

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Yes....two daughters

6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Yes, I would! I'm loyal and trustworthy, honoring confidences.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? No, not a lot. But on occasion sarcasm seems to be quite fitting.

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes, but I don’t have an appendix anymore.

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Not at the age I am now. Maybe as a teen ager I would have

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Anything that isn't presweetened. If I have to name just one, guess I will choose Grape-Nuts.

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Of course, I do!

12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? There are different kinds of strengths...physical, mental, spiritual. Pick one.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Gandy's Swiss Chocolate Caramel Swirl. But I've been told it's not being made anymore. Maybe that's the truth because I can't find it.

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? If (or not) they look you in the eye when talking to you. (I learned that from my dad talking about my friends when we were teen agers.)

15. RED OR PINK? Neither. I'm more Blue or Green.

16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? There are several...procrastination, lack of assertiveness (although I'm improving on this one) and spending too much time reading blogs. Yes...I'm addicted!

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? Strangely enough, it's not my mom and dad. They were both ill for so long before they passed away, it was a blessing for God to take them. I was very close to my sister and her husband when he was diagnosed with cancer. He passed away about 5 years ago and I still miss the days when we all had so much fun together.

18. YOU WANT EVERYONE TO BLOG THIS? Only if they're truthful about what they write.

19. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? As it so happens, I Do have on pants and shoes! Jeans and brown slides.

20. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Ice Cream

21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? My hubby asking me to read the questions and answers that I write. He says he's learned A LOT that he didn't know....DUH! After 50 years of marriage???

22. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? Gosh! Who wants to be a crayon? But it wouldn't be pink or red!

23. FAVORITE SMELLS? Magnolia and Honeysuckle; early spring rains

24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? A friend calling to see if I would substitute for her Sunday School class in the morning.

25. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU? Well....I think I do, I think I do! Actually he didn't send it to me at all. He just invited his blog readers to participate and, I chose to do it because I didn't have much else to write about today. Mike M has a very interesting blog and I enjoy keeping up with him. He and his wife seem like what I would choose in friends.

26. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? None. Sports teams are paid too much and they're not good role models! The day of Johnny Unitas is long gone.

27. HAIR COLOR? Only my hairdresser knows for sure!! Just teasing, it's brownish with a lot of gray. I (like Mike M) am a recovered Ginger Kid.

28. EYE COLOR? Very BROWN...and you know what is said about brown-eyed people! And, if you don't, I won't tell you on this blog.

29. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? No. Tried them at one time but didn't work for me. In fact, corrective lenses don't help all that much. We're ( doctors and myself) just struggling to maintain what vision I have. Only time will tell.

30. FAVORITE FOOD? Too many!! That's why I struggle with my weight!

31. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? I used to like scary movies but they're really not scary anymore...just gross and bloody. So...guess my answer is happy!

32. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? I haven't watched any lately but I DO want to see Bruce Willis in “Die Hard IV”

33. WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING? Red knit with white stripes.

34. SUMMER OR WINTER? Both. They are part of a cycle of nature.

35. HUGS OR KISSES? I'm partial to big, hearty HUGS!

36. FAVORITE DESSERT? Any...good or bad...I am as addicted to sugar as I am blogging!

40. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? A kitten painted by my grand daughter, Hannah.

41. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT? Can't remember!

42. FAVORITE SOUND? My husband asking my advice...just teasing. He's sitting right here by me. I like a lot of sounds but one that comes to mind right now is the sound of the wind when we have our first Norther in late fall. It's a promise of a change in season and exciting things to come!

43. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? Beatles..."Yesterday"

44. WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? Niagra Falls, across the border into Canada. Don't know the distance.

What kind of ice cream? I had ice cream yesterday. It was cookie dough. My gosh that stuff is good. The Wife and I once spent a weekend eating little more than egg-less cookie dough. It was the best weekend of my life.

David said...

When I was little my hair was a lot lighter and combine that with the Cali sun, I was blonde. When I met my wife I was still referring to myself as such even though my hair was brown!

I have come to terms with having brown hair and not enough time outside to not have a tan.

mike m: What you know isn't even a 'finger lick of icing' on the cake! I'm not one to spill my guts,especially on www

crabby: If you have a 'horn to blow', I say "Blow it!" No one else is going to do it. We may have to do that sometime...shoot craps over the LL.

Terri: Have never eaten Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Will have to look for it when in 'the city'.

As far as not crying...I get 'teary-eyed' when something is very touching...but never a break down "Boo-Hoo, tears streaming, heart-rending" cry. Don't know whether I'm just that hard-hearted or just not normal. (probably not normal)

Hey Dad! I was eating Gandy's Caramel Caribou. But I, too, love the cookie dough! Hubby says I'll end up with Salmonella!!

David: You don't need to be in the sun long enough to get a tan!!(just enough to get a good, daily dose of Vitamin D) Causes all kinds of thingys to grow on you as you age...worst of all, skin cancer!! Comodyne works wonders for tans!!
