Hey Kids! 🙂
Let’s have a little fun, today.
Here are ten random questions.
I’ll answer them first, and then I’m hoping you’ll play along, too.
Just copy and paste a few – or the whole bunch – into the comments section; delete my answers, and write your own!
Ready? 🙂
1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Closed. I like to see all drawers and cabinet doors closed as well. None of them are so neat that they should be on display!!
2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from the hotel?
Sometimes . . .
And when we buy new pillows, we remove the tags, too! Shhhh!
3. Do you like to use post-it notes?
I especially like the very small ones – they make great bookmarks! If you think you’ll want to return to a specific spot in a book or magazine, place a post-it right there and find it easily next time!
4. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
I assume this means the “top” sheet, and my answer is “tucked in” – but only at the foot of the bed. (I’m old enough to remember a time when bottom sheets were not “fitted”. Boy, were they ever tough to keep tucked in!)
5. How many languages can you speak?
Two – English and French (4 years study)
I also studied Latin for 4 years. Contrary to popular belief, Latin offers many benefits to a student! For example, the majority of words in English (and other languages) can be traced back to Latin roots. If you’ve learned Latin, it’s much easier to decipher unfamiliar words that you encounter – including math and science terms.
6. Which are better Legos or Lincoln Logs?
Legos!!! The creative possibilities are endless!
7. Take a vitamin daily?
Most days, though we sometimes miss taking them on weekends if we’re really busy.
8. Wear slippers?
Oh yeah! The minute my feet cross the threshold – I take off my shoes and “slip” into those slippers. 😉
9. First concert?
The Beach Boys – not only was I young then – so were they!!! lol
10. Can you swim well?
Yes. I learned very early, and I think that’s the key. They say swimming is the best exercise there is! By the way, who are “they”, and how do they know so much? 😉
Hugs,
1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Closed!! I HATE closet doors left open! I HATE it! ~lol~
(Compulsive Disorder, you know.)
2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from the hotel?
Nope, Bring my own and use my own. Don’t want theirs. Probably dish soap in there anyway.
3. Do you like to use post-it notes?
I use ’em all the time at work.
They make good markers to mark where you are on an intricate bead or crochet pattern too.
4. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
Tucked in at the bottom. I hate to have the sheets creep up off my feet. I must sleep in a neatly made bed. CD again.
5. How many languages can you speak?
Only English. And I sometimes have a hard time with that!!
6. Which are better Legos or Lincoln Logs?
OMG!! Both!! But I must admit I am just a little partial to Lincoln Logs.
7. Take a vitamin daily?
No, they give me acid.
8. Wear slippers?
In the winter. I go through a pair a season and throw them away when the flip flops come out. In the summer I live in flip flops. I go through a pair a month.
9. First concert?
Do I have to admit…the Oak Ridge Boys…I didn’t buy the tickets..I didn’t enjoy the concert….and the one guy was just horribly rude to a guy in the audience. I HATE Elvira.
But the best ever concert I ever went to at the county fair was John Sneider. You know the Dukes of Hazzard guy. He made two albums that I absolutely love. He was at our fair and he was so gracious and involved physically handicapped kids to sing with him. He was wonderful. I will love him forever for seeing him in that concert.
My next best was Brad Paisley at that same fair…different year.
10. Can you swim well?
OMG!! I could DROWN well!!
1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?

2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from the hotel?
yes – once opened, who else would want them?
3. Do you like to use post-it notes?
I love them, any size, any color – which reminds me, I need to buy some today!

Tucked in. But as soon as I get in bed I kick them loose – I think I need a shrink to explain this one,

Yes, but often I wear my Birkenstocks as slippers
9. First concert?

10. Can you swim well?
Yes but I haven’t kept up with it so now I swim OK – but my endurance is not so good anymore!
1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
I have dogs. Dogs who eat. They eat food, they eat MY food, they eat chocolate bars, they eat plants, but lo… they eat shoes. They eat underwear. They love armpits and butt flaps. So that would be a closed 🙂 The only issue is you walk through the closet to the washroom, so I have a tendency of sleep walking INTO the door.
2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from the hotel?
Did you know they EXPECT you too? Upper class hotels even expect you to take the robe – that way every time you put it on you think of them. I read a whole article about it in a magazine… the bar fridge *isn’t* free, though. Darn.
3. Do you like to use post-it notes?
Not really, the dogs eat them, too… paper cuts in the intestine sounds painful.
4. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
I don’t sleep with sheets! It’s too hot… they haven’t turned on the A/C yet and I have temperature regulation issues and, well, yeah.
5. How many languages can you speak?
I can hardly handle English…
6. Which are better Legos or Lincoln Logs?
Legos do more than build shacks 🙂

A few, actually

New Kids on the Block LOL

Open, I cannot see the closet from the bed.
2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from the hotel?
Always, I figure it is included in the price.
3. Do you like to use post-it notes?
I really don’t have too much use for them

I sleep with the bottom sheet which is fitted, tucked in. I hate the feel of sheet so I never cover up with one.

2 English and Japanese

I live in a log cabin home so I love Lincoln logs.

Truimph with Survivor
10. Can you swim well?

Oh Carol, Clenna, Spamgirl, and Kelly!!!
I am loving your answers, here!
Too cute and too funny! 😀
1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
I have no closet doors. Basic safety measure. I cannot believe that, in this day and age of increased Boogeyman Awareness, well-meaning parents are still constructing nurseries with light-blocking closet doors! People! Dark closets are the natural breeding ground of Boogeys! It is a science FACT.
2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from the hotel?
Well, yes. If it’s shampoo worth using. What, you think they’d prefer we left them a bunch of half-used shampoo trial sizes? Eew.
3. Do you like to use post-it notes?
*looks askance at Illustrator’s market bulging at the seams with added Post-It pages*
…Mmmmmmayybe.
4. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
Not only do I sleep with my sheets tucked out, I’ve never understood the point of tucking them in! They have to be untucked and shaken out before bed every night anyway, why go to all the trouble of flattening them in between?
And yes, they DO need to be shaken out every night. When you curl up with your first pillow-scorpion from failing to heed this truth, do not blame me.
5. How many languages can you speak?
I dare say I *can* speak any of them, except maybe !Kung! and similar. Humans tend to rely on human accessible sounds, you know?
I’ve actually *studied* Japanese and Spanish, enough to be bi-ignorant! I can read Spanish pretty well (those Latinate roots! Which I learned from English, heh) and speak it well enough to get around. I understand Japanese well enough to keep from embarrassing myself, keeping in mind that I am almost impossible to embarrass.
6. Which are better Legos or Lincoln Logs?
Neither! Tinker Toys forever! I want to make jewelry with those wooden wheels!
7. Take a vitamin daily?
I should. I forget.
8. Wear slippers?
When I’m free from outside-shodding, and not barefoot, yes.
Apparently, going barefoot indoors was once considered gauche? But I was raised to consider it rude to stay shod indoors. I still have to force myself not to unshoe when I enter a house.
9. First concert?
..Defined how? Something at the Kerrville Folk Festival, probably. First concert I *remember* was…opera? Some school Cultural Exposure thing.
10. Can you swim well?
I’m no Michael Phelps, and I don’t swim for speed– but I can float around happily for hours.
1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Open- I never seem to get around to closing them….
2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from the hotel?
Sometimes I do- only if they smell really, really good!
3. Do you like to use post-it notes?
I love post-it notes- I use them for EVERYTHING
4. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
Tucked in at the foot of the bed, but not around me.
5. How many languages can you speak?
By speak, do we mean fluently? Because I can speak Spanish fairly well, but I am by no means fluent.
6. Which are better Legos or Lincoln Logs?
Legos, of course! They’re so much more versatile!

Ummm…I plead the fifth?

I swim okay, but I’m no Olympic athlete!
1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?

2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from the hotel?
No not anymore, when we backpacked yes! but I find they are not they best quality and make my hair feel like straw.

Sometimes, they are good for putting with items in the post.

I took French in high school & college but I really do not remember that much so I guess just one.

Legos! I could never get the hang of Lincoln Logs.

Yes, prenatal. (I am due in October!)
8. Wear slippers?
Only in the winter, it is way too hot here to wear slippers year round.
9. First concert?
I can’t really remember, my parents took us to a lot of concerts when we were young and all I remember of most of them was they were loud & boring. Maybe Kenny Rodgers? We often only knew a couple songs and once we heard those, we were bored.
10. Can you swim well?
Yes. I started swimming lessons before I was 3 and swam so much each summer that my hair was always green.
Fun questions!
