Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work?-- Does that work?
What's the largest age difference between yourself and someone you’ve dated?-- Paul and I are 10 years apart and we've made it 14 years now, so it can't be a bad thing.
Ever been in a car wreck?-- Yep. A guy t-boned Mom's station wagon when I was 4 and Tater was 2 months old. We were a mile from home. I was also in the backseat of DeLisa's parents' station wagon when we slid on the ice into the ditch just up the road from Papa's house, just a little over a mile from home. Lessons learned? I stayed away from station wagons on my road - it was too dangerous!
Were you popular in high school?-- Yeah. Fat lot of good it did me, too. It wasn't worth hurting the people I hurt to get there.
Have you ever been on a blind date?--Yep.
Are looks important in a relationship?-- Yeah, they really are.
Do you have any friends that you've known for 10 years or more?-- Oh gosh yes! DeLisa and I have been friends for nearly 30 years!
Have you ever made a mistake?-- No, I'm perfect. Geesh, what kind of questions is that? Who would actually say they hadn't made a mistake?
Are you a good tipper?-- If I get good service, I tip good. I've been a cocktail waitress, I know what it's like to work for tips, but I also know that it's pretty easy to be nice and earn those tips.
What's the most you have spent for a haircut?-- $22
Have you ever peed in public?-- Nope. I don't even pee in front of my husband. Things lock up and quit working. Performance anxiety? :-)
What song do you want played at your funeral?-- When I Get Where I'm Going by Brad Paisley. Since we've lost Papa that song has taken on a whole new meaning for me.
Beatles or Stones?.-- Beatles
If you had to pick one person on earth to die, who?-- Bin Laden
Beer, wine or hard liquor?-- Beer. It's cheaper.
Do you walk around the house naked?-- No. Even when I had a good body I didn't. Just not my thing. I prefer clothing, thank you very much.
If you were an animal what would you be?--A cat. I like to be left alone unless I want you to mess with me.
Hair color you like on someone when you're dating?-- Dark
Would you rather be blind or deaf?-- Deaf. I'm legally blind without my glasses and it scares me to think about being completely blind.
Do you have any special talents? -- I can clog dance.
What do you do as soon as you walk in the house?-- Put my purse down and check the answering machine.
Do you like horror or comedy?-- Both. I'm not as big of a horror movie fan as I used to be. Old age has made me into kind of a weenie.
Are you missing anyone?-- Papa and Cousin Stacey
If you weren't straight, what person of the same sex would you do?-- I have a huge crush on Kelly Preston.
Where do you want to live when you are old?-- Right here.
Who is the person you can count on the most?--Mom.
If you could date any celebrity past or present, who would it be?-- Tom Hanks.
What did you dream about last night?-- I remembered it this morning, but I've forgotten now.
What is your favorite sport to watch?-- I don't like sports, but watching Sam play basketball now makes me smile.
Are you named after anyone?-- Nope.
What is your favorite alcoholic drink?-- Bud Light, but if someone else is buying apple martinis are nice.
Non alcoholic drink?-- Sweet tea
Have you ever been in love?--Who hasn't?
Do you sing in the shower?-- No. I'm always trying to keep the kids asleep as long as possible while I get ready in the morning.
Have you ever been arrested?--Nope. I've never even gotten a speeding ticket.
What is your favorite Holiday? Christmas
Would you ever get plastic surgery?-- You betcha. It's only a matter of time.
Have you ever caught a fish?-- Blech, no. I see absolutely no point whatsoever in fishing.
I was born a semi-diva. I married a redneck. Through the magic of osmosis or just because of a serious lack of sophistication over the years I have found a balance of the two that make me who I am today. And then I write about it all, much to the chagrin of my mother.
