1. What’s your favorite candle scent? I like the holiday scents, like cinnamon apple.
2. What female celebrity do you wish was your sister? The late Nora Ephron. I think she would have been the ideal older sister!
3. What male celebrity do you wish was your brother? Vince Vaughn
4. How old do you think you’ll be when you get married? 78
5. Do you know a hoarder? I'm a garden variety slob, not a hoarder. I read the book Coming Clean about growing up with hoarder parents and it was moving and sobering.
6. Can you do a split? No
7. How old were you when you learned how to ride a bike? Very young. I remember riding up and down the block, over and over again, by myself by the time I was in third grade.

13. What’s the worst grade you got on a test? F
14. What was your favorite TV show when you were a child? That Girl
15. What did you dress up as on Halloween when you were eight? That's too specific. I do remember going as an Asian girl, wearing a costume my uncle brought back from Thailand. It was my favorite color (blue) with black toggles closures. I remember it so distinctly, but I can't swear that it was the year I was 8.
16. Have you read any of the Harry Potter, Hunger Games or Twilight series? Nope
17. Would you rather have an American accent or a British accent? I think if I had a British accent, people would think I was smart.

19. Are your grandparents still married? My grandparents are dead
20. Have you ever taken karate lessons? No
21. Do you know who Kermit the frog is? Yes
22. What was the first amusement park you’ve been to? KiddieLand. It's closed now, and the carousel was up for auction just yesterday. It didn't sell, no one made the minimum bid. I'm glad. I was afraid someone was going to buy it and then tear it apart. I suspect anyone willing to spend nearly a million would keep it in tact.
23. What language, besides your native language, would you like to be fluent in? Spanish
24. Do you spell the color as grey or gray? Gray
25. Is your father bald? Yes, and he was very sensitive about it. I don't know why, as both his dad and his brother were bald, too.
My dad did not appear to be sensitive about being bald, but since he laughed when he was teased and teased back, I think not.
ReplyDeleteI grew up with hoarder parents I will have to look for that book
ReplyDeleteSome men are just really unhappy about their lack of hair. My husband laughs it off but I think he hates seeing the shine on his head.
ReplyDeleteWhen you get married at 78, I so want to come to your wedding. It would have to be so much fun.
ReplyDeleteOh, I always forget "That Girl." I loved that show, even though I don't think I really understood it. Her apartment was awesome, but her boyfriend was a complete loser.
ReplyDeleteKiddieland! I loed that place! The weird thing is, although my parents say we went there when I was a kid, I have no memory of ever going there until I was an adult and used to go with my friends and their children. Maybe it ran together in my head with Santa's Village. One of my favorite things about Kiddieland was you could drink your fill of free soda all day long!
