Random Dozen

My cousin, Karen, posted these questions on her blog today.  I thought I would post my answers to these random questions here.

1. What insect are you most afraid of? Feel free to post a picture.     Scorpions.  I don't know enough about them and the fact that they like to hide in dark places (like the sheets of the bed that I sleep in at my Mom's and Dad's house.)


2. What is the greenest/most organic thing about you or that you do?     I tried my hand at a garden this past summer.  TOTALLY over planted.  Lesson learned.  We still have some eggplant, sweet potatoes, basil, oregano, rosemary and bell peppers out there.  I also bake my own bread.  I make my own mayonnaise.  I have even made some home made noodles this year.  I love to pull weeds.  It's therapeutic for me and our yard has gracious plenty of them so I pull them by hand instead of using poison.

3. Tell me about a recurring dream that haunts you.      There's a certain room in my childhood home that haunts me.  I'm still not sure what that's all about.

4. Have you ever missed a flight? What were the circumstances?       No.

5. What do you consider your best feature?       My ability to laugh at myself.

6. What was the last concert you went to?       Jim Ed Brown.  Marina Civic Center.  The place was less than half full.  The opening act played for over 2 hours and we had to leave before Jim Ed Brown came on stage.  We had a baby sitter and needed to go pick up Drew.

7. Describe the most embarrassing church moment you ever experienced.      Once, during revival, at Davidson Baptist Church we were singing, "How Great Thou Art."  Let me stop here and say that when we sang in church there was no half-hearted singing.  Everyone sang with gusto and loud, praise worthy voices.  Sooo, apparently there was a pause, just before the final "How Great Thou Art" that was a little longer than I had anticipated and I screamed at the top of my lungs in a briefly silent sanctuary, "HOW!!"  I was mortified!  And I laughed for about 20 minutes afterward.

8. Are you a whistler, hummer or singer?       I like to do all.  Mainly a singer because it's in my genes.

9. George Washington Carver said, "I love to think of nature as an unlimited broadcasting station, through which God speaks to us every hour, if we will only tune in." What is God saying to you through nature today, or this very minute?        Life is great!  Everything is going to be alright.

10. On September, 1, 1752, the Liberty Bell arrived in Philadelphia. What memorable event will take place in your life on September 1, 2010?         My father-in-law is having surgery to remove cancer.

11. Taco Bell or the Liberty Bell? (You must choose.)         Much to the disgust of my husband I like Taco Bell but I really have to choose the Liberty Bell.  I love history and old artifacts and I would love to see the Liberty Bell.

12. Do you believe men and women can have purely platonic friendships?        Yes.  I say this because I have had purely platonic friendships with guys and I also have 2 female friends who has a purely platonic friendships with guys.  To me and my friends the thought of intimacy with our friends would be like kissing your brother...disgusting.
