Saturday Six - Episode 78

To play along go to Patrick's Place and leave a link! 

Picture from Hometown

It's time for another edition of the "Saturday Six."  This week has moved by both quickly and slowly, all at the same time.  I'm not sure if that's a sign that I'm getting older or that I'm getting senile.  I'm sure that some recent visitors would likely point to the latter.

In any case, before the questions, kudos to Tina of "Ride Along With Me" who was first to answer last week's questions.

Also, a big welcome to Chris  who played for the first time last week.  Be sure to stop by her journal to say hello.

1.   What's your favorite brand and flavor of ice cream when you go grocery shopping?  Is there any of it in your freezer right now?  I usually buy Blue Bell, but can be enticed by other brands as well.  Usually my choices have something to do with chocolate, I am female after all.  I think I have some “sugar free” ice cream right now if someone hasn’t eaten it all yet.  I am usually slow on the draw around my house when it comes to sweets and desserts.

2. When was the last time you ate a fresh fruit as a snack rather than something not "diet friendly?" 
I ate some grapes last night, and some fresh pineapple yesterday morning.

3. Take this quiz:  What language should you learn?

You Should Learn Chinese

Surprised? You shouldn't be - Chinese is perfect for an ambitious person like you.  You're a natural entrepreneur, and a billion people are waiting to do business with you!  Really surprised! Oy!

4. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #72 from Cdmmw2:  If you could relive one moment of your life and watch it (like a movie) but not interfere, what would it be? 
Well, I think I would pick two events.  The birth of my children.  I had c-sections and was not allowed to “watch”, so I didn’t actually feel as though I was really there and a participant.

5. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #73 from Debbie:  What was something you were afraid of as a child?  Did you overcome the fear? 
Yes (and DON’T laugh – my Mother loves to tell this story).  We had a two-story house and my sister & I used to share a room.  Well at some point in elementary school I decided that I wanted my own room and moved across the hall to what was an “office”.  There were no curtains up on the windows yet.  Well I had been watching “Night Stalker” and was deathly afraid of Vampires, although I was assured that they were not real.  I was terrified that Vampires would be able to see me so my Mom hung up a sheet until she could get some curtains.  Well…the sheet kinda drooped in the middle and you could see a little bit of the window.  I was soooo afraid that Vampires would hang down from the roof and be peering down at me that I would sleep with the covers all the way up to my nose and be very careful not to move in case they could see the outline of my body in the bed.  And yes…I have overcome that fear (thank goodness).  Oh and btw…after that first night of spazzing, my Mom forbid me to watch Night Stalker ever again. LOL!

6. READER'S CHOICE QUESTION #74 from Anna: If someone were to open your refrigerator right now, what item would it embarrass you most for them to find? 
Not at the moment, but the usual answer to that question would be “yes”.  My stepdaughter is very diligent about keeping the fridge clean and recently moved the entire garage around to hook up and clean out our other refrigerator.  So now we have plenty of room in both fridges and nothing is sitting in the bottom of a drawer rotting.  That I know of any way.

1: Hmmm I don't know about brand but I absolutley love mint chocolate chip and chocolate chip cookie dough!
2: The other day I ate some yummy pineapple.
3:You Should Learn Spanish  
For you, learning a language is about career advancement and communication.
Knowing Spanish will bring you tons of possiblities for jobs and travel. Bárbaro!  OMG LOL ROTFLMHO I knew there was a reason for living in Arizona!
4:My third grade play. That was so much fun! It was worth giving up recess every other day!
5: Complete and total darkness. It freaks me out. I can deal but that doesn't mean I like it!
6: I dunno.

I used to love Night Stalker! I used to be afraid spiders would come down from the ceiling and bite me while I slept. I'm still terrified of spiders to this day.

LOL!  How could I forget about spiders!  I used to have my Mom check every corner of my room so none would crawl down and into my mouth or bite me, or something just as horrible.!  De

Chinese! I bet that would be a hard language to learn how to speak. Do you like Chinese food? I loved your childhood fear - I think I didn't like vampires after I read "Salem's Lot" by Stephen King. Never read another one of his books again; it scared me that bad.

Sorry about the C-sections (although I know it was probably a medical necessity). I never gave birth, but I think it would be an awesome experience to participate in actively!
