Have You Ever?
This list of "Have You Ever?" questions is a meme that I saw on blogs by both Michelle and Speedy. It looked like fun, so I'm giving it a try. Copy the questions and supply your own answers on your blog if you want to play along.
1. Have you ever been on TV? Yes, I have.
Well, sort of. I wasn't on there intentionally, and it was for just a few seconds, so I'm not even sure if I should count it. I was attending an ice hockey game at Bowling Green State University. After the game, the local TV news crew was there doing a feature piece about the team mascot, Freida Falcon. I happened to be standing behind the mascot in the crowd there when the cameras were on. Short-lived fame--ha ha! No, that's not me in the photo below--that's Freida!
2. Have you ever sung in public? Yes, I have, but not solo. I sang with an all-girl ensemble group of eight teens when I was in high school. I remember we sang the song, "You'll Never Walk Alone" for some sort of competition. That was my only foray into public singing. Here is Elvis singing that song. He did it much better than we did.
3. Have you ever dyed your hair blond? No, I have not. If I ever did, though, I'd probably look something like this.
(Ha-ha-ha! That just seems wrong!)
4. Have you ever eaten frogs' legs? Yes, I have. In fact, I had some about a week ago. Tastes like chicken.
5. Have you ever received a present that you really hated? Yes, I have. It was a faux fur tissue box cover somewhat like the one below except that it was made from very shaggy looking fake hot pink and white colored fur, and it had google eyes glued on it.
Google eyes look like this.
6. Have you ever walked into a lamp post? No, I don't think so. I have walked into other things, though---walls, signs, mud puddles, dog poop all come to mind. No, this isn't me in the video below.
7. Have you ever cooked a meal by yourself for more than 15 people? Yes, I cooked a meal for about 80 people at my church by myself one time. I'm glad I don't have to do that very often.
8. Have you ever fallen or stumbled in front of others? Yes, probably several times. One time I remember falling in a restaurant when I was VERY pregnant with my first son. The tables and chairs were very close together, and I was trying to maneuver my awkward, overly large belly in-between them. At one point, I went one way and my knee decided to go another way, and all of me went down hard onto the floor. We were there with several members of my husband's family. Everyone rushed to my aid and was concerned for me. My knee was a bit sore for a while, but otherwise I was unhurt, except for my pride, of course.
9. Have you ever done volunteer work? Yes, I have for my church and for area schools at various times and on various occasions.
