This is an interesting one - makes me think :)

1. I eat candy in rainbow order (skittles go red-orange-yellow-green-purple) ... mostly b/c I like the red ones the least and the green and purple the best!
2. I lived at home until my wedding day
3. I like to read horoscopes - but I only believe them when they are positive!
4. I think I've seen every episode of the Simpsons - most many times!
5. Caffiene can either wake me up or make me very sleepy instantly!

1. I've moved 30 times in 47 years, which is an average of once every year and a half, give or take a week or two.
2. I've only been shot once. Once is enough.
3. I've been on my own since the age of 16, when my parents moved out.
4. I've remodeled 6 bathrooms in the past 15 years, which averages out to 1 bathroom every 2 1/2 years since 1993.
5. My back hurts, and has been hurting since 1983 when I had half a ton of falling iron knock me across the rig floor.

Okay, this is one I can figure out and jump in on.  Here goes:

1. Normally, I'm not superstitious but sometimes I just have to "knock on wood" and if wood isn't immediately handy, I'll even stand up and walk over to where it is!
2. I hate washing dishes
3. I've moved only once in the last 43 years and that was two blocks away.
4. I won't eat raw oysters and that's THAT!
5. The tunes from commercials tend to stick in my head -- last night I was singing "Viva Viagra!" as I folded my sheets down in the Laundry Room!

 

1. My hair-eye color combo is a double recessive set of genes (red hair, green eyes). Go figure.
2. I've been to 25 of the 50 states, including Alaska and Hawaii. (This does not include airports. These are states I've actually visited for days at a time.)
3. Kitchen sinks and sponges make me cringe. They are so gross!
4. I've always wanted to be a jockey but I'm too tall (5'9") and heavy.
5. I order Kiddie Cocktails at restaurants more often than I order alcohol. If the waiter or waitress puts 3 or more cherries in the drink, I tip them better than if they only put 1 or 2 cherries in it (of course, they don't know this - too bad for them!).

1.  I have three tattoos

2. I moved to Hawaii in 2004 without knowing anyone there.

3. I call my "dad" a sperm-donor because he took off and left

4. I am a condiment queen - I like extra sauce on everything.  Pizza, salad, pasta, enchiladas - you name it, it needs more sauce!

5. I use about 5 cloves of garlic in everything I make

Oh yah, that part about the garlic is really singing to me!  I'm going to start eating at YOUR house!  :)

Did you see my review on the 1 pound container of garlic?  That is wonderful!!!

WOW!! My Dad would LOVE your cooking.  He puts garlic in green beans!  LOL

Five more about me....

1.  I order my burger w/ no onions.  But I order onions rings on the side.

2.  My shirt fell off in front of everyone when I was in the 4th grade.

3.  I wore headgear when I was a kid.

4.  I despise fish sticks, but like fish.

5.  I've worked at the same place for 20 years.

1. I'm a retired magician/illusionist/escapist.

2. I'm a retired clown. (They're not all scary.)

3. I get a touch of stage fright before writing/submitting reviews.

4. I used to successfully sell my art work and photos and jewelry that I created.

5. I was just reminded - I'm sometimes very ticklish.   : )

1. I grew up with a disabled father.

2. I did make-up FX in the film industry for a  while.

3. I'm a born and raised Cali girl, though I long to move out of state. (I don't get the hype, cause the activities get boring after a whie, a short while for me and I don't want to raise my son here, especially because of the school system.)

4. I hope to successfully sell my arts, handmade items and writing on a regular basis soon. ;o) (It's nice to see we have somethings in common, LadyMagic!)

5. Am quickly realizing that getting involved in the holiday production is inconvenient timing for me and must make a "note to self" to not do so next year.

This is a cool thread but I'm not sure what to post at this time but some of the answers are very interesting.

Don't worry about that shirt falling off incident.  One time (during the course of a successful weight-loss effort) my SKIRT fell down when I stood up to pray in church.  Fortunately, there weren't many people there, I was toward the back (and wearing a coat!) and I managed to snatch the skirt back up before anybody noticed.  Alas, I then burst out laughing and I'm sure the poor guy standing next to me is still wondering what I thought was so funny about The Lord's Prayer!

Gosh that's all interesting. I guess even here I get a bit of stage fright. That's the reason I have yet to review my DVD and our new TV may wait until next December (:

Ok here goes...random thoughts at 8:33p.m. (yes I know it show up:) I'm procrastinating...hmm

1. I can be a procrastinator
2. I can be very obsessive compulsive (but not in the clinical way)
3. I've been married to my 2nd husband for almost 25 years.
4. I wish my daughter the doctor would get someone special in her life.

I still have reviews as drafts. Tomorrow we go to Trader Joe's so that's another draft.  : )

Love your list. You'll be a wonderful grandmother. Maybe in the new year ......    : )

There's a few of us who are artistic here at Viewpoints. Hmmmm, I should check to see if they've been selling and where. Someone also sells her jewelry but I can't remember if she also sells online. I'll check tomorrow.

I passed my best friend a note in church and asked her what I should write and before the service started she gave me four and I will add five:

2. I didn't get my first driver's license until I was 22, and it was motorcycle only. I drove on an expired learner's permit from '77 to '83. d;-)
3. I've worked for the same company for 21 years.

Are you guys still best friends?!?

We haven't been best friends for years but I am still on speaking terms with her when they come to town to visit.  We grew up at the same church--they now live out of state so I only see them when they come to visit family and come to a church service.  I actually haven't seen her in several yrs. because she hasn't been with him the last few times we saw each other at church.

Que sera sera!! 

You have a pretty positive attitude about it. I'd never talk to the bee-otch again!

2. If you knew me at 25, you probably have no idea where I am now.
3. When I got a job fixing computers, the total extent of my prior computer experience was making set lists on the bass player's Tandy PC. I told the interviewer that experience didn't matter; if you put something broke in front of me, I'll fix it.

5. My current bathroom remodel project is STILL almost done. d;-)
