But first... you have got to go check out both Dawn and Susie Q. Yesterday, they both posted bed-jumping pictures in honor of me!! Dawn had her cute Jayla and Susie Q had her cute Grace both jumping on beds on their weekend excursions!! The pictures were priceless and really made my day (it just warms my heart to know that I am spreading some bed-jumping love and perhaps starting some new family traditions!! LOL)
In fact, I'm thinking of having some sort of Bed Jumping contest here on my blog later on in the year. Perhaps during summer vacation I can challenge all of you to take bed-jumping pics the next time you're in a hotel and then we can vote on the best one!! That would be fun!! (Don't let me forget to do it!! lol)
Now, onto our Random Tuesday fun for this morning! I found these fun questions on some blog (not sure where!!!), but I thought they were really fun. And that some of you would enjoy answering them too!
Here you go...
- Do you still have tonsils? – Yes
- Would you bungee jump? – No, heck no!! I’m deathly afraid of heights and I don’t like the idea of being flung around on a giant rubber band either!
- If you could do anything in the world for a living what would it be? –I'd absolutely be an ESPN sportscaster or a bestselling mystery novelist (note the "bestselling" part; I'm already a writer and it doesn't always pay the bills!)
- Do you consider yourself well organized? –You have got to be kidding!! The answer would be “No!”
- Any Addictions? – Sweets (especially baked goods), scrapbooking stuff, sports!
- From what news source do you receive the bulk of your news? – the Internet
- Would you rather go to a carnival or circus? – I don’t care for circuses because of the clowns (yikes, they scare me!), but I do like the trapeze. I don’t like the carnival because of the fear of heights, but I do like fast rides on the ground. So, it’s a toss-up really!
- What is the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning? – Look at the clock to see what time it is, then go back to sleep for at least a little bit.
- Have you ever gone to therapy? – Briefly, after my first marriage ended.
- If you could have one super power what would it be? – Do you forget?
- Have you ever gone camping? – Yes! We loved to
- 12. What was your first car? – 1980 Mustang. (first one that was in my name, a 1984 Corolla)
- Do you go to church? – Yes (it keeps me sane!)
- Favorite flower? – Calla lilies (our wedding flower)
- Your favorite potato chip? – Salt and pepper chips.
- Astrological sign? – Virgo
- Do you own a gun? – I don’t. In fact, I can’t stand them. But
- What do you think of hot dogs? – Pretty yummy, IF they’re covered with all kinds of junk—chili, sneaky pete sauce, mustard, onions.
- Favorite “geek-out” tv show? "Lost," "Heroes" (holy cow!! I just downloaded last week's episode and it totally blew me away! gotta download last night's today sometime!), and I still love to watch “Star Trek: The Next Generation” on reruns during the day.
- Do you eat oreos whole or split them apart? I just pop the whole dang thing in my big mouth!
See ya!!!

Amanda - I'll try to post some video of her pitching on my blog tomorrow... come on by and see it.
That is just too funny! My family has this ADICTION of jumping on the couches, mind you! it's funny that your kids do, too! And those pics of your friends in their hotel room are awsome. I never thought of having the kids jump in the hotel INSTEAD of home. Pretty sure it would make our couches last LONGER!
And how funny that Calla Lilly is also my fave flower! it was my grandmother's fave flower, too, and I absolutely love it! I have a couple of framed posters on my walls, of paintings of Diego Rivera, the Calla Lilly seller, it's called. Love it!
Been to therapy for about three years, and it's the best time I've ever invested in myself. Really helped a lot! Every once in a blue moon I still go there. It really helps!
Of course I don't have time to sit around-- I'm supposed to be working :0. LOL!! But I am with you on #8. I wake up to see what time it is and if I have a few more minutes-- well... I'm gonna take it. Nice random Tuesday.
Have a nice day!
Thanks for sending people to my blog.
Cheryl, I wish you had seen my husbands face when I told Jayla to jump on the bed in the hotel last weekend. He said, "You're ASKING her to jump on the bed?!?" I said, "Y Yes, it's for Cheryl..DUH!" He said, "WHO??" LOL And of course I had to explain. He thinks we bloggers/scrapbookers are a little coo coo anyway.
So now, as you know, we're headed to the championship in a little less than 2 weeks. And I hear they got us a room with a king sized bed this time. So be ready for pix from that too...lol.
Those questions look fun. And your answers are great. I'll update with them later on today. Have a great day my friend!!
Love this list! So fun!! And cool to read everyone else's too!
I loved your questions....maybe I'll answer mine in a blog post if I can. I won't promise, but I'll try. I really have to update my blog soon!!!! I think my last post was from Saturday! Why does life get soooo busy??? Oh well, back to work now. I definetely love the idea of the bed jumping contest!!! Totally count me in for that one!
