It's Random Tuesday..
and I'm actually posting a fun, random list today!

I've been a Random Tuesday slacker, what with all the busy-ness of last week and the fact that I was posting at really weird times of the day (like at 11 a.m, times like that; I really like to post early in the morning so I can catch everyone from daybreak on. Ha!)

Anyway...I'm back on here this Tuesday and I have a fun one for all of us to participate in. (You know you want to!)

This one goes something like this. Come up with three answers in each category. Easy!

Three..

Things I fear: Heights, snakes, something bad happening to a close relative

People who make me laugh: Sydney, the gals on “Designing Women” (caught this show on tv just the other day and reminded me of how funny it was/is!), Ellen Degeneres

Things I love: Really good food, family, traveling

Things I hate: Negative people, mayonnaise, unmade beds

Things I don't understand: Why people get upset about little things that don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things, Why people care about Paris Hilton, Teenagers

Things on my desk: A computer, picture frames with pics of the girls in them, lots of paper

Things I'm doing right now:(actually, I typed this last night around midnight) Typing, thinking I should really go to sleep, eating a toasted croissant topped with Nutella (it is SO yummy you can't even imagine!!)

Things I want to do before I die: Travel as much as possible, write a novel, make a Difference with a capital D!

Shows I watched as a kid: Electric Company, Three’s Company (I still think that John Ritter was one of the funniest guys ever!), Wonder Woman (I WANTED to be her!!)

Things I think you should listen to: That voice inside your head (because usually it’s right), The stories that you hear from older people, the laughter of children (they know what it’s all about!), the Bee Gees (ok, I know that’s four, but I was listening to some of them lately and how much do I still love them?)

Things you should NEVER listen to: Negative people, gossip (although I do fall into its trap a lot of times!), anything that's on tv at like 3 a.m.

Things I'd like to learn: To paint (canvases, not houses), to catch a softball (so I could catch Delaney pitching), to play a musical instrument

Favorite foods: Anything Southern, Anything Italian, and pretty much Anything Else!

Things I can't do: Roll my rrrrrrrs, curl my tongue, watch sitcoms or reality shows when people do embarrassing things or get in uncomfortable situations (I just can’t watch them because I feel so bad for them!)

Things I can do: Stand on my head for an inordinate amount of time, find the positive in just about anything, speak in public, hula hoop (oops that's four, but I think you needed to know I could hula hoop. Didn't you?)

So, you know the drill...

Answer these here in my comments section or link us to your blog where you've posted your answers. This is a FUN one, so I'd love to see some answers from all of you! (But no pressure, okay? lol)

Songbird--Can't wait to read yours!
Muffin--I love DOING them (glad someone likes to read them! lol)

Cheryl Wray said...

Lz--It truly is something I try and do and I'm usually pretty good at it! I figure--why be negative when we can't really control most of the things that get us down? And if we can control them, well I'm gonna try and get something done about it! I'm definitely a glass half FULL person!
Gin--I literally used to stand on my head for 2o minutes. I can't do it as long now, but I can still some. LOL
Dawn--Chocolate is ABSOLUTELY a food and I hear "That's so Raven" in the background a lot too! ha!

Cheryl Wray said...

Dawn--I hope you have a wonderful summer too!
Southern heart--Thanks!! I love coming up with these things!
Jeff--I could've put clowns too. I'm way afraid of them also! You are SO a multi-tasker, doing all of that at the same time. And HA on the Fox News!There is NO WAY I could be talked into bungee jumping!!!
Nikki--yay!! Going to read yours right now!!
