Friend Makin' Monday

Welcome to another week of Friend Makin' Monday!

Kasey over at All That Is Good so graciously hosts this little mixer each week to help connect all the fabulous bloggers out there. I can't pass up an opportunity to socialize, so here we are!

For those of you that are regulars to GM, welcome back! For those of you that have found your way here from Kasey's site, welcome! I'm so glad you stopped by and I can't wait to start commenting on the other FMM posts!

With that, I give you Friend Makin' Monday!

---------------------

You wouldn't be caught dead where? Buying hair dye at Wal-Mart. The hairdresser in me cringes every time I see a woman down that aisle reading the back of 1,765 boxes looking for just the perfect shade of "plum."

Name two things you consider yourself to be very good at. Baking and socializing! Hey, socializing is a skill, right?

Name two things you consider yourself to be very bad at. Having a "poker face," my emotions show very quickly, and Guitar Hero. Seriously...it's a train wreck! Unless you're talking Guitar Hero : World Tour with the drums...those I can rock out on!

Have you ever won a trophy? In middle school I was on a Future Problem Solvers team that won State and went to Nationals. I seem to recall a trophy for that.

Name one thing not many people know about you. That all depends on how well you know me. I used to own my own salon. I bought a horse 2 years ago. I can't touch ice because it makes me gag when it freezes to my fingers.

Name your earliest memory. I remember riding on the tailgate of my Grandpa's pickup while we were working around the farm and falling off the back and skinning my knees. When I told Mom I remember that happening she told me I was two...that's pretty early.

What was your favorite musical group in jr. high? I had a bunch, but I'm sure that Backstreet Boys were pretty far up there.

What was something the worst roommate you ever had did? I'll spare all of you the gory details, but I had a roommate in college that was very friendly with the guys on campus. I woke up to her and her "guests" doing things that would make sailors blush on more than one occasion. Thankfully she left at semester.

When you were a kid what did you want to be when you grew up? That changed a lot. For awhile I wanted to be married to a fireman (I think I'd still be okay with that!) I also wanted to be a dancer or an interior decorator.

What was your worst dating experience? This question almost deserves it's own separate post! I was set up on a blind date with a guy by a "friend." The date started out well enough; a picnic and ice cream. Later he told me that he planned for us to go swimming at "his pool." This was news to me and I didn't have a suit with me. He so graciously offered the suggestion that I could just swim in my underwear, to which I politely declined. As we made our way to "his pool" he admitted that the pool was actually in the apartment complex that he used to live in and that we'd sneak in through the maintenance entrance, but would have to "make a run for it" if security showed up as my date had been asked to move out of the complex for harassing female tenants. We did not have a second date.

If you were about to die what would your last meal be? A really good steak, my Mom's mashed potatoes, a big bowl of hominy, and Mom's strawberry shortcake. Mmmm!

Who is the most important person in you life? He may not be a person in the literal sense of the word but God is the most important relationship I have. He has brought me through so much, and blessed me with far more than I deserve!

If your house was on fire what 3 things would you grab on your way out? Assuming my family (and dogs!) is already outside I would grab my Bible, the ring my Dad gave me when I turned 16, and Pete The Ugly Bear (a threadbare Care Bear that Mom made me for my second birthday.) "Stuff" isn't important to me, but the memories attached to them are!

Hope you enjoyed FMM! Stay tuned for this week's PoCA!
