    {two} if you could be any other person for one day, who would it be?
     

    Wow…this is hard! I think I’d like to be Lindsey Vonn. 
    I’d love to ski sometime…something I can’t do and would really like to do, 
    plus she’s very athletic and likely looks awesome in any old thing she throws on.

    Brie
     

     

    {four} do you remember your 1st grade teacher?

    I can’t see either way so there’s no point.

     

     

    {nine} do you look at the keyboard when you type?
     

    I do a mix…glancing back and forth
     

     

     

    {ten} when was the last time you took a nap?
     

    A couple weeks ago. Had gotten about 4 hours of sleep total in two nights. 
     

    Slept for a couple hours…it was glorious!

    Um…no. I’d be a basket case.
     

     

    {two} have you ever ridden on an elephant?
     

    YES!!  At the MN Renaissance Festival about…
     

     Well…lets just say a long time ago.
     

     

    {three} have you ever met a well known celebrity?
     

    A couple people I went to high school with are semi-famous now…
     

    but they were just typical kids back then.
     

     

    {four} do you have any food allergies?
     

    Yes…chocolate….doesn’t stop me though. 
     

    I just sneeze my head off for a minute or two
     

    then its all good. 🙂
     

     

    {five} do you know how to sew?
     

    Yes…I wing it most of the time though…I’m not good with patterns and instructions.
     

     

    {six} did you get an allowance when you were young?
     

    No. I did start getting paid when I mowed our couple acres of yard though…of course, my payment was directly deposited into my SAVINGS ACCOUNT.
     

     

    {seven} how often do you fill up your gas tank?
     

    Maybe once a month…I don’t drive much.
     

     

    {eight} have you ever been stung by a jelly fish?
     

    Um ..no…I don’t really care for the ocean. Too many things that can eat you in there.
     

     

    {nine} have you ever been robbed?
     

    It’s funny…a long time ago, my VW rabbit was broken into…
     

    everything from the glovebox was on the front seat…
     

    they took NOTHING…I guess I didn’t have anything good.
     

     

    {ten} what is the worst haircut you’ve ever had?
     

    Hmmm…it would either be that haircut my cousin gave me when I was 4 and she was 5.
     

    She tied me to a chair….seriously. 
     

    We stuffed my hair into a Kleenex box…yeah, like that would hide it.
     

    Or 
     

    maybe the time I thought I could give myself a haircut. 
     

    You see, my mom was a beautician so I figured I could do it. 
     

    Yeah…not so much… I went I to get it fixed and said that a “friend” did it. 
     

    I couldn’t confess that I’d been so dumb.
