Yay for Random Dozen! Linda’s weekly questions save my blog behind every week!
1. Have you ever fired a gun or shot a bow and arrow?
Can you believe that I grew up in the South but never fired a gun? I have, however, shot an arrow…way back in 6th grade in P.E.
2. Do you know where your childhood best friends are?
I did not have many close friends growing up. I recently reconnected with a couple through Facebook, so I guess you could say that I know where they are (having been a smart girl and checked out their info pages). The one friend I’d love to find is somewhere out there.
3. Do you usually arrive early, late, or on time?
On time, if not a couple (but only a couple) of minutes early. There’s always just one more thing to do before leaving the house!!
4. Are you more of a New York or California type?
California, definitely. I am totally not stylish enough for New York
5. Do you have a special ring tone?
My uber-favorite used to be my “Hips Don’t Lie” ring tone. Every time my phone rang, the kids groaned because I would totally do a little jig (now Shakira would be groaning).
I have separate ring tones for different people. For Chicky, I have “Free To Be Me.” For Rooster, I have “No Sweeter Name.” For everyone else, I have “How Can I Keep From Singing Your Praise.”
6. What is your favorite type of chip?
Poker? Just kidding. I have no idea how to play the game. I just wanted to make you laugh.
Seriously, it’s gotta be Pringles. One summer, my sister and I stayed with our “step-grandmother.” She bought us each a two pack of Pringles, and we hid them from each other among the many boxes of sewing materials in our grandmother’s bedroom, which we shared with her. The only problem was that I lost a can. I never did find it. I’m thinking my mom did, though, when she cleaned out my grandmother’s house after she passed away.
7. Best comedy you’ve ever seen is ….
13 Going on 30, hands-down. I love Jennifer Garner, and the Thriller scene makes me laugh so hard I get tears in my eyes…every time I see it, and I’ve watched it often since I own a copy.
8. Have you ever cut your own hair? To quote Dr. Phil, “How’d that work for ya?”
No, but I tried to cut the mole from my sister’s face when we were little…with the blunt-ended safety scissors that kids are allowed to have. How’d that work for me? Not very well. I believe I got a sound spanking. Sorry…I didn’t really answer the question, but I sort-of did, I guess.
9. If you were going to have an extreme makeover, would you rather it be about your house or your personal self?
This one is hard. I’d love to get a new wardrobe, highlights in my hair, and maybe even a pedicure. However, my yard needs to be re-graded and re-sodded, and my wood floors could stand to be replaced. I’ll say my house. I can do my own highlights (who remembers Sun-In?).
10. Are you allergic to anything?
Housework.
11. Why is it so hard to change?
Because I’m stubborn. At least that’s what my mom always told me.
12. One last question dedicated to February love: CS Lewis said, “To love is to be vulnerable.” Please share one example of that assertion or share any thought you’d like to about this topic.
Love is risky. It opens the door to rejection. Just as God loved us and sent His Son to die for us, many reject God’s gift…and ultimately miss out on experiencing His love.

Stand back and do not come near the mole on my chin. YIKES!! What a cute story!!
See…? We all did archery in gym class. And those bows…they were pretty sorry, at least the ones here….
Love 13 Going on 30. My kids and I always get up and dance during the Thriller scene. Way too much fun!
Trying to cut the mole – awesome! Way better than a hair answer any day. 🙂
# 12 – great answer. I can’t think this late/early so my answer is not as thoughtful or coherent.
#8 – That is so funny. I cannot believe you took scissors to your sisters face.
#10 – I think I am too!
#12 – WOW, great answer. I feel rejected much in life, when I am not going to the Lord to get my approval as I should be.
Until next time!
I’m guessing your sister wasn’t all that grateful on #8 either? Did that experience influence your choice to be a surgeon?
Love your answers!
I liked your take n #4 and I thought #6, #10 and #11 were funny. Random Dozen also saves my blogging behind every week!
THis was good! No can’t believe you haven’t shot a gun! We are very much alike, can’t wait to get to know you better. Oh and I grew up in South Alabama! WAR EAGLE back to you. It’s the strongest rival in football!
Sun-in…haha…wow that takes me back!
I love Jennifer Garner-so cute-and I love 13 Going on 30 too.
It was fun reading your answers…have a great day!
Oh the mole story! Wow, who’s idea was that one? LOL.
Enjoyed your answers.
What fun answers. Oh my gosh, I had totally forgot about Sun In. How funny. And your sister let you take the scissors to her face… trusting soul. And on a serious note I love your answer to the last one.
until next time… nel
Hey! Stopped by for Random Dozen! I love your answers. I find it interesting how many of us shot arrows in PE. I don’t think they do that anymore in our neck of the woods…but it’s kinda’ sad. And your cut-my-sister’s-mole-off-her-face story CRACKED. ME. UP! Sounds like something I’d have done with one of my brothers.
Nice to “meet you” via RD!

Enjoyed your answers.
Well, maybe not #8 – that made me cringe! LOL
i never got to shoot an arrow in P.E; i got to do it on a farm as an adult
hope you find your friend “out there.”
Isn’t it always the case…usually hubby’s in the car tapping his finger…”just one more thing to do before leaving the house!!”
doing a little jig …i can SO relate!
How long was it before they cleaned out your grandmother’s house…that could have been interesting.
OMgoodness…you cut on your sister…i bet your bottom was hurting
My wood floors need replacing, too…in fact, we’re getting ready to do a complete master bath makeover…yikes.
(we did Sun In, then lemon juice…)
Rejecting God’s gift was a topic in my Disciple III class today, while studying Paul/Romans…so sad and heart breaking, needless to say what it doesn’t for your eternity life.
I can’t believe you tried to cut something off your sister’s face lol! Omg. I grew up in the south as well but never would have shot a gun before I was married if it hadn’t been for my redneck-y neighbors lol. I’m so glad they taught me some though…made it a little less embarrassing once I got married…and now I have plenty of practice! 😉
Great answers.
I try to remember that stubborn is the same as persistent.
I think that’s the flip side of stubborn!!
