Friend Making Monday

Today is Friend Making Monday over at Kasey's blog.

I get a ton of these kinds of things.......sometimes I do them, sometimes I don't.  Kinda depends on what kind of questions are asked.  I have to admit that it is an interesting way to get to know a lot about someone!  

You wouldn't be caught dead where?

Working anywhere with natural gas........the smell makes me gag!

Do you have any hidden talents?: 

Let's see........I snap backwards.  My middle finger snaps in front of my thumb instead of behind it.  I don't know if you'd call that a talent.....my husband calls it weird.

Name two things you consider yourself to be very good at: 

Making Green Chile Stew

Driving

Name two things you consider yourself to be very bad at: 

Decorating

Anything crafty - especially scrapbooking!

Have you ever won a trophy?: 

Yep.......in Drill Team during high school.  We won state my Junior and Senior year!  It was all because of my Rockette worthy high kicks.......just kidding.

Name one thing not many people know about you: 

I was interviewed by CNN when Ike came roaring into town.  Apparently a guy who works on Campbell Brown's show read my blog and a post referring to Ike and contacted me.  My only claim to fame and it wasn't even shown.......got bumped by the commuter train wreck in California.  They were nice enough to send a copy of the final story to me and my husband shows it to everyone who comes over to the house!  I still haven't watched it.......I just don't like to watch video of myself!!

Name your earliest memory: 

Sneaking out of bed (apparently I did that a lot in an attempt to drive my parents insane so they'd be institutionalized by the time I was 3) and listening to them watch TV.  VERY faint memory - I think I was only 2 or 3.

What was your favorite musical group in jr. high?: 

Toss up between Duran Duran and Depeche Mode.

What was something the worst roommate you ever had did?: 

I was very lucky in the roommate department.  One of my roommates, and good friend, did decide to kiss my ex-boyfriend...........but honestly?  It was pretty funny!

When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up?: 

A doctor......I still think about it to this day.

What was your worst dating experience?: 

I was the victim of a "bet date" in my younger years.  Nothing worse than being excited about being asked out, only to find out it was all a bet!!

If you were about to die what would your last meal be?: 

Salad made by my sister, Cyndi.  She makes incredible salads!!

Chips and salsa from Chuys

Green Chile Stew

Bakery cake with buttercream frosting with enormous flowers on top

Who is the most important person in you life?: 

My husband.  No question.  Making him my #1 priority makes us better parents, friends, etc.

If your house was on fire what 3 things would you grab on your way out?: 

My husband, kids, and dog could get out by themselves so that doesn't count.

My computer because it has all of our pictures on it.

My pictures that are someday supposed to be scrapbooked......see answer to question above about what you're bad at.

Grandmother's jewelry.

Thanks Kasey for hosting another fun Friend day!  I look forward to seeing what the topic will be every Monday!!
