Wednesday's Random Dozen


1. Ever had any run-ins with the "library police?" I have not and it has been several years since I've been to a library.  The internet serves as my library now.


2. Do you have a special organizational plan and place for wrapping paper, gift bags, etc., or do you just purchase whatever you need as you give gifts? Well, until about a year ago I had a gift wrapping and gift basket business.  So, I still have lots and lots of supplies left and it is all very organized in a small room at my husband's office.  I enjoy seeing just how creative I can be with wrapping and packaging.


3. Have you ever been in (first-hand witness) a natural disaster? No, thank goodness!


4. What's your favorite Barry Manilow song? Oh, I do love Barry Manilow and one of my most favorite songs of his is "Can't Smile Without You." 

 5. What's the best costume you've ever worn? I was a "flapper" from the "Roaring 20's"  many years ago and my costume was so cute with all the fringe and the head dress. I still have it!


6. Which do you use more often, the dictionary or the thesaurus?
I keep both right by my desktop computer but use the dictionary much more often.


7. What's your favorite breakfast food? Well, I love bacon and when you add waffles to that, it's just "plum" good!


8. Have you ever purchased anything from an infomercial?
Not directly off the TV, but Wal-Mart always has a section with a lot of those items in it and I've bought some there.  The last item was those green plastic bags that are suppose to keep fruit fresh longer, I can't remember what they are called.  They have not worked for me.


9. Have you ever crawled through a window? Perhaps when I was a child, but if so, I can't remember it.


10. Do you believe in love at first sight? I'd better since I met my Hubby (he was 19) when I was a mere 13 years old and I went straight home and told my parents that I would marry him one day.  Six years later I did. ~smile~


11. How man pairs of jeans do you own?  I probably own about 8 pair in different styles and different washes and colors.  Every time I put a pair of jeans own I thank the person that started adding that bit of Spandex to them. Y-e-s, it spells commmmforttttable!!!


12. If someone were going to bake a cake to honor/represent you, what would it be? (Think creatively, like Duff and Crew on "Ace of Cakes.") Now, I will have to explain this, but it would be a MOUTH.  Since I love to both talk and laugh, it just seems like the appropriate representation of me.  And, I would love to see Duff and Crew's creation of my mouth. And, they would have to make sure that I had lipstick on my lips. I do love me some lipstick!

  2. I didn't know you had a gift wrapping and basket business...how neat! I really wish I had a talent or eye for that kind of thing.

    I actually kind of like Barry Manilow, myself. My parents had a cassette of him when I was a little girl. I can remember cranking up the stereo and belting out, "I'm gonna sit right down and write myself a letter..." I also loved his version of "Memories"

    I love that you would have a mouth...that is hysterical!

    Have a great day!

  3. Hi Lea-

    I've enjoyed reading your responses to Random Dozen. It's a terrific meme. I've always liked a good meme and now I have started my own. We just started a new meme called "Wednesday Wickedness" and will post on Tuesday afternoons. You are welcome to do it on Tuesdays, if you do only one meme a day! We are up and posted now. Each week we pick a famous person and find 10 quotes. Then each question is based on the quotes! This week is George Clooney. Check us out at http://jjatww.blogspot.com.

    Thanks!

  6. You know, before kids, I used to spend a LOT of time wrapping people's presents. It was one of my favorite things to do - make them pretty using ribbons, bows, even curling the paper itself to use as ribbons. Fun stuff. Maybe when the kids are older I can do that again ... hmm...

  7. #3 Yes I have! Lots of tornadoes and I am so glad I do not live in Texas any more because we had them every year. Very scary.

    Enjoyed learning about you. Nice to know someone else who loves Barry Manilow LOL
