TODAY'S QUESTIONS

When was the last time you wore a tuxedo or a formal dress, and what was the occasion? Would a bridesmaid dress count? That was 17 years ago. Now, I often like bridesmaid dresses. But that one was so ugly it hurt my feelings, and I was glad to get rid of it after the wedding.

Beyond that, I literally don't know.

Have you ever memorized a poem or lines from a play and recited them in front of a group or crowd? If so, please share some details! No - not my thing.

Have you ever given a toast (not the kind you eat!) at a special event? No - I can't speak in front of groups. Can't do it in funerals, and rarely speak up in meetings.


NATURE QUESTIONS

Have you ever swung on a tire swing or any swing attached to a tree? Yes, as a kid somewhere. Can't remember where it was - it was a one-time thing.

Did you climb trees when you were a kid? Yep.


Have you ever planted:
  • a flower bulb? Numerous times.
  • a vegetable plant? Many times.
  • a tree? No, although I have a palm tree in a big pot.
  • a shrub? No.
  • a houseplant? Yes.
  • seeds? Yes.
Do you have a "black thumb" when it comes to growing things? Sometimes. My gardening successes are unpredictable.

Have you ever visited or worked on a farm? Grew up on one but never "worked" on it.


EXTRA CREDIT

Do you wear eyeglasses? Yes. Once in a while I wear my contacts.

If you wear glasses, at what age did you start wearing them? 13 or 14.

How about sunglasses - do you wear them? Yes, but not in the spring. I wait until the sun gets brighter. I believe that moderate sun is good for the eyes.


JUST FOR FUN

Does your shower have a curtain or a glass door? Glass door and I hate it.

If you have a shower curtain, what design is on it, if any?


BONUS QUESTIONS

Does any room in your house have a decorative theme? If so, what's the theme? LOL!! Are you ready?

Livingroom: The mantel and wall above it has New Orleans stuff (including a few creepy things); sideboard has a Merlin-related display with a dragon skull and various sizes of spheres; the Egyptian corner, with an Elizabeth Taylor-Cleopatra mask on the wall; curio cabinet full of elephants, wall masks here 'n' there, and; Santa Cruz beach theme on top of a small shelf.

Dining area: African theme in one area.

Happy hump day, everybody! 'Tis PJ again. PatsCats has asked me to fill in for her today; she'll be back next Wednesday. Let's get busy and head on into
TODAY'S QUESTIONS
When was the last time you wore a tuxedo or a formal dress, and what was the occasion?
Never.
I'm hopelessly casual in my dress, being comfortable is always going to trump looking fancy/pretty.
Have you ever memorized a poem or lines from a play and recited them in front of a group or crowd? If so, please share some details!
It was an assignment in 9th grade English class, to memorize a particular passage from Merchant of Venice-
though I can't recall for what purpose (whether to recite in class or what, but everyone had to do it).

Have you ever given a toast (not the kind you eat!) at a special event?
Nope. I don't attend events.

NATURE QUESTIONS
Have you ever swung on a tire swing or any swing attached to a tree?
Probably, though it would've been at someone else's place, not mine.
Did you climb trees when you were a kid?
There was a large lilac bush in our yard that I used to crawl up into & hang out in as a kid.
Wasn't daring or muscular enough to reach heights of tree branches other than that, for the most part.

Have you ever planted:
  • a flower bulb?
  • a vegetable plant?
  • a tree?
  • a shrub?
  • a houseplant?
  • seeds?
^Yes, seeds (to grow veggies), 30 years ago-the gardening task assigned to me by my father.
Do you have a "black thumb" when it comes to growing things?
Don't know, my aversion to dirt is one of many reasons I've never tried to keep houseplants.
Have you ever visited or worked on a farm?
Paternal grandfather had dairy cattle & vegetables on his farm in Maine, which I visited many times as kid.
My parents lived there when I was born, but (we) moved out soon afterwards.

EXTRA CREDIT
Do you wear eyeglasses?
Yes, when out in the world. At home, most things are close enough for me to see clearly.
If you wear glasses, at what age did you start wearing them?
16
How about sunglasses - do you wear them?
No.

JUST FOR FUN
Does your shower have a curtain or a glass door?
If you have a shower curtain, what design is on it, if any? None, it's just clear plastic.

BONUS QUESTIONS
Does any room in your house have a decorative theme? If so, what's the theme?
I'm haphazard and serendipitous in what I've acquired and retained.
If you consider "I thought that thing looked cool" a theme, then yes.

Thanks for filling in
