20 Questions

I may or may not have found this 20 question gig on Emily A. Clark's blog Saturday. I liked the questions so I'm borrowing it. :)

1. What is your essential road trip snack? Combos. It's the weirdest thing. I don't normally buy combos any other time, but I really, really love to have them on a road trip. I'll eat any, but the cheddar in crackers kind still holds my favorite spot.

2. You've been handed 2 free round-trip tickets. Where are you going and who are you taking with you? Oh man!! How to PICK?? Just kidding. Well interestingly enough, Ryan and I have been hunting for some plane tickets for a trip we're taking later (and all that's still a surprise, so I can't tell you more than that right now) - but we'd go there and that means obviously I'd take Ryan!

3. What was your high school jam? Don't laugh. Sandi Patty.

4. Would you rather have a perfect bum or a flawless face? Face!! Face!! :)

5. What shows are you ashamed to admit are on your DVR? Well the one my mother hates to hear is on there is Ellen.

6. What's your ringtone? I'm currently holding a transition phone, so whilst I wait for the new one to arrive, it's whatever was preset on the phone. But I will tell you that on my old phone, my ringtone for Ryan was J.J. Heller's song "Love Me."

7. How old were you when you had your first kiss? Was it meh or toe-curling? I was 2 months shy of being 21 years old and it was neither meh or toe-curling. It was incredibly awkward because I was so scared, but it was also incredibly wonderful because I'd waited almost 21 years for it! Though obviously we did not end up together, it's a memory I don't hate or regret.

8. Do you have any siblings, and if so, where are you in the birth order? I am the youngest by um.....15 1/2 years. :) I was a wee bit of an accident. To put it nicely. This is me with my sisters on my wedding day:
9. What was your first car, and did you name it? I did indeed! It was a gray-blue Ford Escort that our family purchased when I was a 3rd grader. I named him Lloyd {after Lynne's boyfriend on Alf.}

10. What would you request for your last supper? A buffet of all my many favorites and a giant frappe.

11. Have you ever been hospitalized, and if so, what for? Yes. I was hospitalized when I was 5 {just overnight} for a strep infection that settled in my hip and rendered me unable to walk. True story.

12. How tall are you? Do you wish you were taller or shorter, or are you just right? Until about 2 months ago, I was 5'6" which I deemed perfect. When being measured for a physical, I was informed I am 5'5 and 3/4". Too short and flat out ridiculous. I'm too young to shrink.

13. Do you prefer to DIY or hire it out? Decorations: DIY. Real work: Until 4 months ago, forced to hire it out due to lack of talent. Now: I just ask Ryan. It's one of the most lovely and unexpected treats of marriage.

14. What do you eat for breakfast? Ryan brings me coffee while I do my devotions, and then later I have a peanut butter and honey sammich. Usually eat that on the way to work.

15. What would you do for a living if you didn't need money? I would be THRILLED to be a stay-at-home wife and spend my days writing and taking care of Shafferland.

16. Finish this sentence: Every room needs...Cozy lamps or lighting of some sort. Ryan and I have been working on cozy-ing up the house. I love it.

17. How frequently do you wash your hair? Do you have any hair secrets or tricks? If I straighten my hair, I can go two days without washing - and it looks better the second day. Not as frizzy. If I curl it, which is what I usually do, it has to be washed every day because it has fire-hazard amounts of product in it. Do I LOOK like I have hair tricks? But if YOU have any, I'll take them!

18. Will you leave the house without makeup? No. I can leave without lipstick, blush, and eyeshadow, but I CANNOT leave without eyeliner or mascara or I look very ill.

19. You just unloaded your Halloween haul. What candy do you go for first? Likely to be a toss-up between Snickers and Reeses.

20. What totally inane talent do you possess? Sadly, I can think of none. :(

I'm curious to hear about your trip... I LOVE to travel! And I might borrow this to do on my blog but sadly, some of the questions aren't relevant to me. I don't have a mobile phone for one :)

You should borrow it! You can always modify! Or say - good old ringtone is whatever a ring USED to be in the days of yore!! :)

Phats said...

3. The Downings, a Southern Gospel group, and Sandy Patty ranked right up there!!
4. Face.....hands down!!
5. Prob Criminal Minds. I used to tape Ellen but I tired of her after a while. I do not agree with her lifestyle but she really is funny!!! Personally, didn't like the dancing thing. Annoyed me!!!
6. I have a different ringtone for everyone who calls me on a regular basis. It has to fit their personality. My default ringtone is Blessed Be His Name!!
7. It was a birthday kiss on my 14th birthday by my heartthrob. He never kissed me again but I can tell you where and when it was and I still relive that moment every year on my birthday.
8. I am the second born out of 4 siblings and the oldest daughter.
9. A 1956 Red and White Ford Fairlane. It had belonged to my grandmother. Never named my cars.
10. Swiss steak, mashed potatoes and homemade brown gravy with corn and brown and serve rolls.
11. Several times for asthma, 3 child births, once as a 4 year old for a cystoscope and also for ulcers.
12. 5'3" said goodbye to 5'4" a couple of years ago!!
13. Depends on what it is for. Although, I also am blessed to live with a handyman!! I am not too talented in those ways.
14. Bowl of cereal or toast with cinnamon and honey. Coffee of course
15.I am living it!!
16. Family pictures!!
17. Every week when I go to my favorite hairdresser!! Luckily, I can go as long as 2 weeks if need be!!! I know many women are jealous!! LOL
18. I have to have at least some mineral foundation, definitely mascara, a little blush and lip gloss. I can forgo the lipgloss. If I leave the house without anything on you know two things.....I am on my way to the hospital or already dead!!
19. Prob Minatures milky ways.
20. I used to be quite talented with singing....with my asthma that has gone by the wayside. When I was practicing nursing I was talented in being able to get about any difficult IV stick and I also was good at drawing blood gasses. Now.... Just keeping my nose in my own business is what I declare my talent because I hate drama. The less I know the better!!!!!!

Now how in the world did my comment post twice??????? Obviously, user error!! Silly me!!

Bekah said...

Phats - I've never had a peanut butter combo. Can you believe it? I CAN believe you laughed at me. And yeah - she's not a fan.

Nita - you make me smile so much!!! I LOVE Criminal Minds too - although it gives me nightmares. I used to have the biggest crush on Thomas Gibson - more when he was Greg on Dharma and Greg than now when he's more serious. :)
