Sunday Stealing: the 40 Meme

Ahh, for a little break from my studying, I found this Sunday Stealing meme via The Night Life from a Nurse's Point of View blog.

1. My uncle once : took me to the airport...and brought me back when I returned several months later. Granny was superstitious about that stuff.

2. Never in my life : have I been to Idaho.

3. When I was seventeen : I was plotting and planning what I would do in college.

4. High School was : fun, especially when I was goofing off outside of classes. It was even fun goofing off in class.

5. I will never forget : high school graduation. It was hot and steamy, with no AC. Thankfully, I was tall enough to sit in the back row by the fans.

6. I once met : Chuck Berry in Reagan National Airport.

7. There’s this girl I know who : meets celebrities all the time. She works at several local concert venues.

8. Once, at a bar : I saw a flaming drink (I forget what it was, though).

9. By noon, I’m usually : working somewhere.

10. Last night : I watched a movie.

11. If only I had : an iPhone. I could send e-mail from anywhere.

12. Next time I go to gym/church : I'll bring my husband. (He was out doing stuff today, so he went at a different time.)

13. Susan Boyle : sounds pretty good. Just watched the YouTube video today. Loved Simon's face while she sang.

14. What worries me most : being unprepared for anything.

15. When I turn my head left, I see : a lamp.

16. When I turn my head right, I see : a lamp.

17. You know I’m lying when : I say, "Okay." and look incredulously at you.

18. What I miss most about the eighties : my giraffe print Chuck Taylors. I'd be so in right about now!

19. If I was a character in Shakespeare, I’d be : Ophelia...or Juliet.

20. By this time next year : I hope to get my family out somewhere on vacation (and not to anywhere in IL).

21. A better name for me would be : I like my name just fine, thanks.

25. If I ever won an award, the first person I’d thank would be : My parents, without whom, said award would be impossible.

26. When I compare 80’s rock to 90’s rock : I don't usually. I have my favorites among both decades.

28. My ideal breakfast is : slow and unhurried with lots of coffee.

29. A song I love, but do not own is : Vacation by the Go-Gos (80s and reflecting what I'm thinking about right now!)
