Today’s Question(s):

When you were in high school, were you a:

Jock

Nerd

Comic

Partier

Preppy

Rah-rah

Leftover

Other?
~ Longhair hippy rock & roller.

Are you the same today?

~ Nahhh.....now I have short hair.

Bonus Question(s):

When you were a kid, did you ever want to be the main character in your favorite book?

~ Nope. My books were natural science reference books.

Just for Fun:

Hubby suggested I ask “How yellow is seven?” (Hubby must have been a comic in high school! )

~ You'd have to ask Nimchimpski that one.


Today is:

Barnum and Bailey Day
~ I always really liked Beetle Bailey.
Weed Appreciation Day
~ I love weeds and grow weeds. Beautiful flowers!
I don't call them "weeds". What is a weed? It isn't. They're nice plants.
The weeds that I grow now do not include the one that I used to grow,
but even that is a very beautiful, aromatic plant!
National Black Forest Cake Day
~ Never had it.
National Something on a Stick Day ~ I'll be eating chicken teriyaki on a stick at the Chinese buffet on Friday. The only thing I may have on a stick before then is a paint roller.

HappyWishes for you all on this day and all days. May good things happen for you and yours. GoodEatsWishes to all!

When you were a kid, did you ever want to be the main character in your favorite book? I wanted to be in several books - main or otherwise. I do remember going through my Harriet The Spy phase when I started toting a notebook around with me in case anything fishy was going on

Hubby suggested I ask “How yellow is seven?” (Hubby must have been a comic in high school! ) not as blue as five

None of the above. There were a few nerdy kids, a few jocks but for the most part, we were all "just kids".

Are you the same today? Yep. I'm still a kid, at heart.

Bonus Question(s):
When you were a kid, did you ever want to be the main character in your favorite book? I wanted to be Wonder Woman when I grew up.

Comic (I've always had a great sense of humor! )

Are you the same today? Haha. Yes!

Bonus Question(s):
When you were a kid, did you ever want to be the main character in your favorite book? Hmm. Interesting question. I don't think that ever crossed my mind. But now that you mention it....... If I had wanted to be the character in a book it probably would've been Heidi. Edit: I just thought of another one. While in junior high school, I wanted to be Laura Ingalls Wilder. I had read the "Little House" series of books and fell in love with them and with the author.

Just for Fun:
Hubby suggested I ask “How yellow is seven?” (Hubby must have been a comic in high school! ) Huh?

Today in History:
1993 Type II supernova detected in M81 (NGC 3031)
1990 Michael Jordan scores 69 points, 4th time he scores 60 points in a game Greatest basketball player of all time!

2. To be reluctant to give.
Don't begrudge me because I'm beautiful! *tee hee*

Today is:
Barnum and Bailey Day I loved circuses when I was little. Now I don't because I feel so sorry for the animals. The only part of the circus I still like is the acrobatic acts.
Weed Appreciation Day I'll admit it - some weeds are very pretty. I'd just prefer they stay out of my garden!
National Black Forest Cake Day Now we're talkin'! Black Forest Cake is delicious!
National Something on a Stick Day I'll take a corn dog with mustard, please!

Happy hump day, everybody!
