Oh and you thought that other part was all you’d have to read didn’t you! That was only half of it! I took a relatively easy, simple, shortish meme and made it difficult and way too long but now that I did part of it, I just don’t think I can leave it half done….so here’s the rest for you to groan read over. Just in case you haven’t seen the other half, check it out here. It also has some links to blogs that have done this meme in probably the more correct way.
Have you ever:
15. Sang Karaoke …. like out in public for anyone else to hear! I.Don’t.Think.So.Tim! (pretend points for that) Now I sing in the car, around the house and in my mind all the time and I do in my mind dream of singing for other people but then reality and being a scaredy cat sets in. I would so love to be one of those backup singers on AI! Or a backup singer or dancer for you know who! Well maybe only Stacy knows who!
16. Paid for a meal with coins only? I think I’ve been with hubby when he’s done this for some small meal at a fast food place before, and been just a little bit embarrassed. At times he collects massive amounts of change in his truck and likes to use it up but I can’t recall that I’ve done it myself. I will pay cash at stores sometimes for stuff, and count out exact bills and change much to my kids and Stacy’s chagrin at having to hold up people in line while doing it.
17. Done something you told yourself you wouldn’t? I’ve said things to my kids that were told to me when growing up that I thought I’d never say to them but did! Like when they asked why, I’d say because I said so! And other assorted genius parenting statements on my part.
When it comes to something like sky diving and bungee jumping, no I’ve still not done them and still never plan to. Wait, I think I said I wouldn’t go white water rafting but sorta got rooked into that on one of our vacations….I’m semi glad I did but even more glad that I’ve done it and don’t really feel the need to do it again.
18. Made prank phone calls As a kid I did those standard ones, call someone and ask them if their refrigerator was running…who came up with that anyway!
19. Laughed until some kind of beverage came out of your nose – or other places! Nose, probably yes….other places, gross no!
20. Caught a snowflake on your tongue Well for the one time in 5-10 years that it snows here in the south, I probably have done this!
21. Danced in the rain I SO don’t like to be wet! So I’m guessing that it’s not something I’ve ever done and why would you want to? I’ve not learned to embrace rain or water to any great extent.
22. Written a letter to Santa Claus Yes….and I was absolutely devastated when I found it one year under the telephone nook out in our hall in the house I lived in as a little girl. And let me tell you, I was a bit older and maybe way too naive but for someone who actually really truly without a doubt to this day saw Santa Claus fly by her window on Christmas Eve, finding my letter at the house was just way too much. (there’s a song that could have been written for me about it too!)
23. Been kissed under the mistletoe I have no idea! If so then it would be with hubby when we were at someones house but I don’t know that I’ve ever seen mistletoe used that much.
24. Watched the sunrise with someone you care about One year my family went to Grand Canyon on vacation. We made it a point to get up before dawn one morning to go to a recommended spot to see the sunrise, it was glorious! And I was with hubby and kids, I care about them a great deal! We also hiked to the bottom, spent the night and got up before dawn the next day for the twice as long trek back up. That day I was more focused on making it out in one piece instead of watching the sunrise.
25. Blown bubbles I brought bubbles with me to TX for Grayson and Ava Clair! And Katelyn had some already when I visited her a couple of weeks ago…so twice in a month is pretty good I bet! I don’t blow them in my drink though, do you?
26. Gone ice-skating Yes, when I was growing up there was someplace in Jackson that I tried it. It seems like for some reason it was at the Coliseum for some special event but I have no idea now what it was. But I remember that I wasn’t very good at it, not strong enough ankles I think even though I roller skated. I think we’ve ice skated on some of our ski trips before too.
27. Been skinny dipping outdoors Never, ever ever! And never ever will! That’s just not something I would do, am way too modest for that!
So that’s it for this one……….unless you have any questions you want to ask me that I can answer later!

More good answers! On #15 Karaoke, I do know who you want to be a backup singer for. Oh, how I wish I had her legs 🙂
#16 – I can’t remember paying for a meal with change, but Tim probably has. I don’t mind picking out exact change, I do that a lot. Not to my chagrin about cash and coins, but I would rather swipe a card than write a check. Checks take forever!
#21 – you should try singing and dancing in the rain, it’s actually quite fun!
#23 – we’ve had mistletoe here at Christmas, maybe you had a smooch under ours!

Yeah, I’m kinda the same way now about the checks Stacy…I’d much rather swipe than write now! Maybe it’s the kids that don’t even want to wait on me to count out change!

I just read your two part meme…I have to say, I could have answered these questions almost exactly the same as yours. Except I never had a blind date with someone named Tre…heehee Actually, I married my blind date! 😀
Your DVD is on it’s way, just to let you know! 🙂 Thanks again for being so patient!
I just posted about my littlest who turns 6 tomorrow…where did the time go, I wonder! But she’s still my cuddle bug!
Hugs,

I like to dance in the rain. I also like to wash my hair in it…but I freeze! Even if it’s 90 degrees, when I come inside I just shiver!!
You should try skinny dipping 😉
