Time for Getting to know you! And other Random Thoughts

Oh how I have missed my bloggy fun.

Stupid work.

Pout.

I did get to completely enjoy a fabulouso night out with Big Daddy last night. He got some tickets to the IU/Illinois basketball game, which started out beautifully then went to crap after the half, but was fun none the less. I then entered full-blown stalker phase, as we had decided to hit up a favorite bar (Hubs used to be in management there, and I worked across the street. Bar food, while not my heart or hip's friends, makes my mouth happy!) for a late dinner and a beer. Via the addiction that is twitter, I rounded up some great sports writers, and coerced? guilted? convinced them to meet us for a cold one.
They didn't get there until after 1 a.m.
Holy smokes. I'm old.
But once they made it, we (I am going to assume that they did, too. I know hubs and I did, and we're a we, but I am completely assuming that they did!) had a great time.
And we shut down the bar.
Did I mention that I'm old?
Yeesh, getting up this morning was rough. By the time we got home, dealt with the dogs, and got settled in for bed, it was after 4. FOUR! In the MORNING!

But, I picked up the kiddos from my mom at about 9:30, and off to church we went. Planning to sleep like the dead tonight, thanks.

Moving on.
Keely is keeping things rolling with her Sunday Fun: Getting to Know You!
Wanna play? 'Cause we (she) wants you to! We've been rolling along for several weeks now, and it's been a BLAST getting to learn about each other. And it's easy-peasy lemon squeezy! 'Cause she does all the work! Just click that button over there, copy the questions to your blog, answer 'em, then link up using the MckLinky!
No blog? No problemo! Just pop your answers into the comments section below!
Then, use the MckLinky links to check out everyone else's answers (that's my favorite part of all!) so we all Get to Know each other!

(I've just re-read that paragraph and realized that I need to work on my addiction to exclamation points. I can't help it. For anyone who knows me at all in real life, I'm kind of an exclamation point kind of person. You don't like my punctuation? Life's tough.)

Without further ado : Getting To Know You!


1. If you were stranded on a desert island and could pick one person to be stranded with you..Who would you pick? Family members not included.
2. Do you read celebrity gossip?
3. Favorite show you're waching this season?
4. How tall are you?
5. What was the last book you read?
6. Flats or heels?
7. If you had to choose one natural disaser to go through, what would you choose..Earthquake, Tornado, or Hurricane?
8. Thong, panties, or (gasp) granny panties?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. If you were stranded on a desert island and could pick one person to be stranded with you..Who would you pick? Family members not included.
Oh this is hard. Not being allowed to pick family makes it a little bit easier, yet a little harder, you know? I think, however, that I would select my BFF Elizabeth, though. While we would likely never survive as roommates in a traditional sense, our different skill sets would complement each other well in such a setting. I would build shelter and find food, she would find ways to make it habitable and palatable. We'd have the best decorated hut on the island!

2. Do you read celebrity gossip?
Not religiously. If something significant happens, I will check it out. Celeb deaths, that kind of thing. But I don't religiously check things like TMZ or Perez Hilton or whatever.

3. Favorite show you're waching this season?
The tax channel.
No, seriously, this time of year, television is not something I get to watch much of. I chose to watch the sports stuff, but I'm so behind on any good series right now, I don't want to jump back in at this point. I love me some Grey's, but I'm behind.
NFL, Hoosier hoops, and then March Madness. Those are what I try to catch whenever possible during tax season.

4. How tall are you?
5'4"

5. What was the last book you read?
I have an issue. I never am reading just one at a time. I'm usually working on two or three. So, I don't really have "one" I read last. Most recently I've completed David Baldacci's "The Simple Truth" and Robert Jordan's "The Eye Of The World". The first was a first time read, the latter, a re-read. It's a sci-fi series that I love, and it's had some newer releases  that I've yet to read. As it's been a while since I read the earlier books, I decided to re-read them so it's all fresh.

6. Flats or heels?
Flip flops! But when I have to wear real shoes, heels. I'm not tall, so I like the height I get with a heel, plus it makes my butt look good. I tend to go with a chunkier heel, though, so as to not kill myself.

7. If you had to choose one natural disaser to go through, what would you choose..Earthquake, Tornado, or Hurricane?
Hurricane. If my stuff's gotta be destroyed, I want to be able to SEE what did it, and have it take more than 30 seconds. I'd like the chance to get away. I'd like the chance to protect those I love. And, I would love to rock a 'Cane party.

8. Thong, panties, or (gasp) granny panties?
I had to laugh at this one! My bloggy gals are more interested in my unders than anybody I know!
As a card-carrying member of the Crammer Jammers, I officially announce that most of the time, it's just plain ol' panties. However, there are times when the evening's attire (or the need to do laundry!) requires the thong, and I am not afraid to rock it.

Ok, kids. I've exposed everything right on down to my panties - now it's YOUR turn! Be sure to link up over at MannLand5! And happy Sunday!

  1. Glad to see I still am in good standings this week. :) I was pretty sure you hated me for not being a procrastinator. ;)

    I envy you for being able to rock a thong. I totally SHOULD be able too.. but I just end up wanting to pick at it and therefore, don't even try.

  5. I dont wear heels for the most part, but when I do I am with you... I do the chunky heels. I would kill myself if I wore a stiletto!

  6. I love heels and I want to be one of those girls that can do the whole...the bigger the heel the better. But I would totally bust my butt if I did that. I love stiletto boots though :o) I just try to keep the heel about 3 inches.
