And You Are...? Blog Hop

What a fun blog hop!  Tammy Theriault and Emily posted about it weeks ago and it's been in the back of my head to do simply because the questions are hilarious!  So here goes!

1. How many speeding tickets have you gotten?

Um...5?  We have "speed cameras" in my county, so those darn things have caught me 3 times that I can recall and I've been pulled over for speeding twice.  Guess I need to slow down, huh?

2. Can you pitch a tent?

Maybe.  Possibly.  Last time I went camping was in 2002, and I honestly don't remember if I helped or not.  I'm sure I did.  What the heck - I'll go with YES.

3. What was your worst vacation ever?

I often take "staycations" because I get so much vacation time and my husband only gets 1/2 of what I have.  So my last "staycation" was right before my brother's wedding this past July.  I thought I'd take off, help them out a bit, hang out by the pool, relax.  Instead, my parents decided to redo their kitchen.  6 days before the wedding.  By themselves...or more to the point by using their children as labor.  So there I was, on my vacation, painting, cleaning, painting some more, cleaning some more and then finally cleaning the whole damn house.  I was not happy, but my parent's house and kitchen looked spectacular and my brother's wedding was wonderful.

4. What was the last thing you bought over $100?

I bought a bunch of makeup at Sephora recently.  It needed to be done.  Your face is forever and if you don't pamper it, it'll show!  So yeah.  Foundation, eye palette, moisturizer, serum, eye cream...the whole 9 yards. :)

5. We're handing you the keys to what?

A vacation property in Sarasota, Florida.  Which I will take and catch the first plane to.  OMG want!

6. What was the last meal cooked that made even you sick?

Chicken in "papillote".  Basically chicken in parchment paper with zucchini, carrots and onions.  It was over cooked and had zero flavor.  It literally made us gag.

7. Fill in the blank: Oh my gosh! Becky, look at her butt! It is so big. She looks like _____?

Some rap guy's girlfriend.

8. What was your first car?

1982 Buick Le Sabre, nicknames: Big Blue Boat; Lurch.  It was approximately the length of a football field, leaked oil non-stop, had no heat, no air conditioning, and no tape deck. The radio tuner only went in one direction (down) so you had to use the presets to go up on the dial.  Also, the roof liner was coming down, so it was like a giant bubble over your heads.  And it wouldn't go into reverse unless you eased it in and you felt the whole car shift.  The blinker was hanging on by a wire, so I had to turn that gently lest it fall off.  It would frequently stall when pressing the gas after coming to a complete stop, so I was the cause of many people being late to things as my car stalled in the middle of the intersection.  God I miss that car.

9. Your best friend falls and gets hurt. Do you ask if he/she's okay or laugh first?

Since she/he is hurt, I ask if he/she is ok first.  If she/he wasn't hurt, I would laugh hysterically.

10. What's the worst song ever?

Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up and The Christmas Shoes.
