Diesel?
Other?

The Jeep was gassed up last week.

Is your hair length short, medium or long?
lets just say it is longer than it should be.

Have you ever worn your hair in a ponytail?
It is not that long

Super Bonus Question:


Describe something really embarrassing that has happened to you in public.
While I am sure I must have done many embarrassing things, my brain has managed to stash the memory so deep that I am not able to recall it.

Just For Fun:


When you were a kid, could you do a cartwheel? Could you stand on your head?
This question has managed to unlock the memory of one of my embarrassing moments in life. My ninth grade PE teacher decided for class one day that we would do gymnastics. It turns out my gymnastics ability is somewhat worse than my singing ability. Every time I tried to do a simple summersault it ended in disaster. The teacher decided it was in my best interest to not attempt something much more difficult like a cartwheel.

Can you still do a cartwheel or stand on your head?
Fat chance of me doing either.

Finally:


Can you play any musical instruments? If so, tell us about it/them! Did you take lessons or are you self taught? When was the last time you played?
I sort of played trumpet when I was 10. There was another thing that ranked right up there with my singing and gymnastic abilities.

Super Bonus Question:

Describe something really embarrassing that has happened to you in public. The last really embarrassing thing I can remember was when a few co-workers and I had lunch at the food court inside the local mall. I bought a hot dog and a soft drink. The drink didn't have a lid, for some reason. As I left the counter with my hot dog and drink, I turned too quickly and the drink spilled on the floor. The restaurant employees saw it happen and graciously gave me a free replacement drink...WITH a lid this time!


Just For Fun:

When you were a kid, could you do a cartwheel? I think so. Could you stand on your head? Never could.

Can you still do a cartwheel or stand on your head? Maybe, but I don't dare try it.


Finally:

Can you play any musical instruments? I did. If so, tell us about it/them! Did you take lessons or are you self taught? When was the last time you played? In high school, I was in the band and played the clarinet. I took lessons both at school and at a community class. Last time I played after high school was in the mid-80s when I auditioned for a community band but I decided not to pursue it because of the time commitment. I would, however, like to learn the bass guitar.


Today is National Blonde Brownie Day. Yay! Let's celebrate! I agree! I'll have mine with a cold glass of milk, please.

Have a terrific Tuesday, everyone. You do the same!
