  Wow. 
  That's kind of scary, daunting, exciting, whatever.  I've never
  gotten so many comments in my whole xanga life.   Now I'm all
  shy.  But thank you all for the great comments, and hi to all new
  friends who keep coming around! 
  

  
  I was tagged by nameless (I really need to learn how to link...yes, I
  know someone told me how, but c'mon, it took me awhile to get the cut
  and paste down, too!)  to do this quiz...I love these
  things...nothing gets to the heart of the matter like these get to know
  you quizzes...I should try to make one up...that would be fun! 
  Hmmm...maybe I'll do that after Thanksgiving...
  

  
  I think I'm ready for the next 4 days...we're going to my parents house
  for Thanksgiving this year.  I have 16 pre-bottled
  Mudslides.  My husband will stalk up on beer and St. James
  wine.  We're not alkies, I swear...let me paint you a little
  picture.  All of us siblings will be getting together for the
  first time in years.  (5 of us)...with all of our spouses, and all
  of our children.  In one house.  For 4 days.  (or until
  we run away)...not so bad yet, right.  Wait.  Figure that one
  of my brothers is allergic to cigarette smoke, gets horrible headaches,
  and no one gets along with his new wife...('cept me, of
  course....unless your'e a complete ass, I'll like ya OK).  There
  will be 13 children under the age of 13 there...5 being pre-teens with
  pre-teen hormones...the rest are between 6 and 4.  Shuddering yet?
  There's more.  My mom's a chainsmoker...smokes the more stressed
  she gets, (don't forget the bro allergy to smoke), and more my mom
  smokes and gets cranky, the crankier my dad gets, until he starts
  yelling at kids for being too noisy, leaving toys out, etc....My Ohio
  sister already told me she's bringing lots of outside clothes, 'cause
  that's where she'll be hanging most of the time!  So my husband
  and I choose to remain pleasantly happy faced for most of the
  time!  Is that so wrong?  I will be taking lots and lots of
  pics too, 'cause what an awesome thing that we all can get together at
  once!  (and note to self:  earplugs...earplugs are good)
  

  
  My ceiling got finished today!  Carpenter Steve (so dubbed by my
  son) got all done today and even hung the new ceiling fan!  And
  believe it or not, I called the carpet cleaners TODAY, and they said
  they could come out TOMORROW MORNING and be all done for the
  holiday!  Life is good.  All I need to do is find linoleum I
  like for the bathroom now...well, I did find some, but so far that's
  the first sample every one else points to first to say how much they
  hate.  Sigh. 

  
  Well, here's the quiz anyway!
  

  
  

  Answer any or all of these questions…

  If you could only access one website for the rest of your life what would it be?

  Before
  xanga, I'd have said my online banking...or maybe neopets...now all
  normal life has stopped so I can post....I may be addicted. 
  

  If you had to explain YELLOW to someone who is blind, how would you?

  "Put
  your face up to the sky...feel the warmth on your face?  That's
  yellow...hear those kids playing and laughing?...that's yellow...it's
  feeling happy and warm."  That's how I see yellow, anyway...
  

  If you were asked to describe your first kiss, what would you say?

  Then - AWESOME...totally hot.  Now...I can't belive I ever kissed that guy...hormones got the best of me!
  

  If you could name a book from your childhood that had the greatest influence on you, what would it be?

  You've
  all heard it before, now here it is again!  "All I ever Needed to
  Know I Learned In Kindergarten" - Robert Fulghum...good then, better
  now.
  

  If you had to eliminate one emotion from your life, what would it be?

  Hmmm...I'd
  say fear...even though fear can be healthy, I think I have way too
  much...for instance, I'd love to go skydiving if I wasn't so afraid of
  heights!
  

   

   

  5 weird things about myself…

  1. When
     I found out about the magical operation called gastric bypass, I
     researched to find out how to get it...I then proceeded to try to GAIN
     weight so I could get this surgery.  It worked...but I didn't get
     the surgery. Too afraid.
  2. I
     have hair on my toes...yeah, I know, gross...I shave them too.  My
     husband affectionately calls me "hobbit toes"...isn't he sweet?
     (hey-you asked)
  3. I
     still jump into bed so that my feet don't dangle over the empty space
     so the monster under the bed doesn't grab my ankles. I also must have a
     light on until I am in bed...the better to disintigrate the monsters
     hand with light, ya know.
     
  4. I
     read scary books like anything Steven King, John Saul, or Dean
     Koontz...then I'm all scared and need a night light too. (my kids think
     this is hilarious)
  5. My
     food can't touch...mashed taters cannot mix with green bean juice,
     burritos are nasty 'cause it's a whole bunch of food all mixed
     together...I even order my tacos with just meat and cheese, 'cause
     otherwise it's just too much mixing.

  And there you have it...weird enough?  I can't believe I told ya'll about my hairy toes...
  And I tag: Everyone on my sub list!!!! (I'm watching-so ya'll better do it!)
  And now for the funny!

  Redneck Thanksgiving

   

  You Might Be A Redneck If:

  You've ever had Thanksgiving dinner on a Ping-Pong table.

  Thanksgiving dinner is squirrel and dumplings.

  You've ever re-used a paper plate.

  If you have a complete set of salad bowls and they all say

  Cool Whip on the side.

  If you've ever used your ironing board as a buffet table.

  On Thanksgiving Day you have to decide which pet to eat.

  Your turkey platter is an old hub cap.

  Your best dishes have Dixie printed on them.

  Your stuffings secret ingredient comes from the bait shop.

  Your only condiment on the dining room table is ketchup.

  Side dishes include beef jerky and Moon Pies.

  You have to go outside to get something out of the 'fridge.

  The directions to your house include "turn off the paved road".

  You consider pork and beans to be a gourmet food.
