Have you ever?

This was on Bridget's blog and since I'm a sucker for meme's I had to participate

Have You Ever…

1. gone on a blind date? Yes I have. In fact I married to him. It is a fun story involving a cookie pie and a day at Great Adventure.

2. skipped school? Well, I've skipped to school and past.

3. been on the opposite side of your country? Yes. My blind date was born and raised there so he enjoys going.

4. swam in the ocean? Not real swimming, I have waded in Atlantic, Pacific, and Caribbean.

5. had your booze taken away by the cops? Not me - but I have taken booze away from several underage college students who were stupid enough to bring it in the building when I was the RA on duty.

6. lettered in a high school sport? Ha Ha Ha. Though I did letter in Marching Band. Don't pick on us band geeks, we keep at a thing until we get it right.

7. cried yourself to sleep? Over good and bad times on more then one occasion.

8. played a musical instrument? Since I wasn't the cute type - I had to for marching band - clarinet and tenor sax. Once I have more time and less "help" I'd like to jump back into playing.

9. sung karaoke? No. The shower was a wonderful music studio though

10. cheated on an exam? No. I know several have borrowed my answers off of exams. It was funny that I came out with better grades then either of those who found my answers compelling.

11. played spin-the-bottle? No. Soda bottles weren't very easy to get and who could be bothered anyway. Truth or Dare was much more entertaining.

12. laughed until some sort of beverage came out of your nose? Soda, tea, and milk - at different times luckily.

13. watched the sun rise with someone you care about? So great and I'd do it again.

14. ever been arrested? Not me, but I have "enjoyed" seeing others taken away.

15. gone ice skating? Yes, and one of the best places to skate was on the Mall in DC looking up at the capital.

16. been skinny dipping? Yes and thankfully no pictures exist.

17. been on television? Nope and hope not to be.

18. thrown up in front of a date? Not me, but throwing up in the privacy of my own bathroom or the Wildwood boardwalk was enough for the gang.

Without an Invite

Bridget tagged me with this meme - or at least she was going to but I'm one of her neglected co-conspirators, so I'll just have to play along without an engraved invitation.

The rules: Posted at the beginning. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves a comment, letting them know they've been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you've posted your answer. Play nice, children.

1. What was I doing 10 years ago? Wow 10 years ago, I was still in the glow of wedded bliss and working at Plainfield Public Library. what if.....?

2. What are 5 things on my to-do list today - in no particular order? Having survived the day, I'll give you tomorrows to do list. Get kids up for school, survive work and design an exhibit or two, pick up the kids, figure our dinner, pack MM for her sleep study.

3. Snacks I enjoy - Isn't life just what lapses between snacks - popcorn, chocolate, cookies, nuts, pretzels, and tortilla chips.

4. Places I've lived - Baumholder, Germany; Pittsburgh, PA; Buffalo, NY; Allentown, PA; Runnemede, NJ; Edison, NJ; Robinson, NJ; Bensalem, PA; and most recently Philadelphia

5. Things I would do if I were a billionaire - I wouldn't even have to be a billionaire to quit my job - but this would give me even more security. After discussions with dh, some would go to a few select charities, invested for my future and the rug rats inheritance (that is if I don't spend it all first) travel, and by a place at Chautauqua (for every season!).

6. Peeps I want to know more about - Being new to blog-land, I don't have many I would dump this on - but I will forward this on to some email buddies who can at least send back to me. One I'm tagging is Ash, my recent swap partner.
