Today's been a nice, slow day so far... such a rarity around here! This morning we delivered cookies to the fire station with Emma's Daisy Girl Scout troop, and this afternoon we spent time outside - WITHOUT COATS! - since the weather was so nice. We've kind of forgotten what it feels like to be outdoors in the last few months. Addie took advantage of the nice day and tried to learn how to ride her bike without training wheels, but it looks like we'll be trying again another day.
4. Have you ever licked a 9 volt battery? No! I'm too afraid.
5. When is the last time you swam in a pool? In September when we went to Kauai. I may or may not have performed a synchronized swimming routine with a friend for our husbands. I also may or may not have attempted to dive into the pool, which may or may not have resulted in a painful (yet amusing for onlookers) belly-flop.
6. What are you wearing right now? Jeans, a pink sweater, and a funky necklace
7. How many cars have you owned? Well, since I didn't technically own my first cars (my parents did), then my answer is four since Gary and I have been married.
8. What is the type of music you detest most? Rap
9. Are you registered to vote? Of course!
10. Do you have cable? Yes, but I could live without it.

12. Have you ever made a prank phone call? Yeppers.
13. Would you go bungee jumping or sky diving? No and no.
14. What is the farthest you've ever traveled? Kauai.
15. What is your favorite comic strip? Hmmm... I don't really have one, but if I had to choose I'd pick Calvin and Hobbes.
16. Do you know all the words to the National Anthem? To the first verse, yes! The rest of it... no clue! (Did you know there are FOUR verses?)
17. What is your favorite pizza topping? Green peppers and sausage... or maybe plain ol' pepperoni.

27. When was the last time you ate a homegrown tomato? Sad, I don't even know...!

36. Do you believe in love at first sight? Hmmmm... not really. But from the first time I saw Gary, I "knew."
37. Spongebob or Jimmy Neutron? Neither. Phineas and Ferb? Yes!
38. Did you have long hair as a kid? Yes! Always had long, blonde hair. Too long at times.

44. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? Gary
45. Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny? Mickey Mouse
In a couple of hours we'll be heading out to our church for a Volunteer Appreciation Banquet, so I thought I'd squeeze in a quick blog post before we go.
Brace yourself, because this is going to be riveting.
No really, I hope you're sitting down...
Useless information:
1. What is your name spelled backwards? Eigna... actually, when I was younger my name (with my maiden name) spelled backwards was Eigna Noslo, and I'd pretend I was a Norwegian exchange student when I was out and about with my mom running errands. I think my obnoxious fake (and horrible) accent embarrassed her immensely. I, of course, thought it was hilarious.
2. What did you do last night? Went on a date with Gary! We went to dinner at Red Robin and then saw Alice in Wonderland. I fell asleep during the movie, although I blame ME, not the movie.
3. What was the last thing you downloaded onto your computer? Pictures from my camera.

What's the story with #30?
ReplyDeleteI forgot about Kit Kat's ...I love that candybar, just haven't had one in a while.
ReplyDelete@#26: Awwwwh. Yay! Love you friend!
ReplyDeleteI am laughing SO hard at #1. I can totally picture you doing this. What a funny kid you were! hysterical.
ReplyDeleteYou were at Red Robin on Friday night? At Flat Irons? Because if yes- we were there too! But maybe you went to a different one.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah- in middle school I smoked peanut shells. All the time. But then I grew out of it.
ha.
You are on a roll with these blog posts, Angie! I LOVE it.
