It’s been a long long time since I’ve posted anything like this and since it’s snowing and I’m procrastinating about work, I thought I’d join in.

About the Author
I may have to steal this and post it over the weekend! And I am totally stealing your bungee jumping answer – NEVER IN A MILLION YEARS.
We can sit back with some wine while all the crazies make the jump then! :)
What a great idea! I was actually born without tonsils. Weird, huh?
That is different! At least you never had to worry about them swelling up or bothering you!
I really like quiet too, but I like the sound of children playing outside also. I used to wear contacts but they don’t correct as well as glasses so I gave up.
I do like the sound of my own children playing outside :)
This was fun to read! I cry over happy movies too… even the animated ones, lol.
Oh, I was a mess at the end of Toy Story 3!
Me too, and I had a boy about to head off to college the first time I saw it, so I was feeling it! lol silly grownups ;)
What fun, I want to answer these now! May I steal it from ya? lol I will link to you of course!
Go ahead Brandy! I stole them myself ;)
That was fun! I enjoyed learning a bit more about you:) BTW, I love the picture of your legs with the chicken. Beautiful!
Thank you! Sitting outside with the chickens running around is a favorite summer pastime! They’re such silly animals :)
Does anyone like their own handwriting? I know I don’t. Chicken scratch.
That’s exactly what mine looks like!
Question to 44 and 45 — have you ever lived anywhere other than near where you grew up? I live in Toronto and live about 30 minutes from where I was born/grew up as well, and I’m just interested to see if many are like me and embraced what they’ve known for so long.
dull doesn’t mean you wouldn’t be a good friend :) I don’t think most people like their handwriting
Thanks Melinda :)
I love this!! I noticed a lot of your answers feel similar to what I would answer. Especially the daily anxiety, I deal with the same thing… daily. It sucks! I hope you dont mind if I snag this idea too, I will link of course :D
I can’t wait to read your answers! I stole this idea myself so snag away :)
I love getting to know more about bloggers. Nice to meet you :)
Nice to meet you too, so glad you stopped by!
Fun little post! I love you put, “I love all food!” Sadly, I totally do too =P
This was fun reading about you. I want to try this later this week if you don’t mind if I borrow some of your questions. I wish I lived out in the country so I could have some chickens. Maybe one day!
I can’t wait to see your answers! Chickens are fun, I hope you can have them someday too :)
