{1} First thing you would do/buy if you won the lottery:
This makes me kinda sad, since I had long wanted to replace the fence at my mother's house with my lottery winnings. But she's gone and the house isn't hers anymore. SO I'll double my retirement savings and if there's any left over, I'll (finally!) finish my bathroom. If there's still any left over, I'll take my nephew to Washington DC. He so wants to go, and it would be the perfect high school graduation gift for him.
{2} First person you call when you get amazing news:
Depends on the news. My life is kinda compartmentalized.

| Reynaldo can be very understanding |
Reach for Reynaldo.
{4} First movie you went to without your parents:
A re-release of Hayley Mills' Parent Trap.
{5} First sport you played (Little League-style or in school):
Other than mandatory PE class, it would be volleyball. (I suck at sports.)
{6} First major injury:
When I was a preschooler, I fell down the stairs and broke my clavicle.
{7} First product I use in the shower:
Aveeno Ultra Calming Facial Cleanser
{8} First apartment or house on your own (away from you parents!):
A studio with lovely hardwood floors and a spiral staircase. I was very happy there for a long time. But I'm glad I no longer rent. Amazingly, that little apartment costs more in rent than my current mortgage payment on a 2BR condo.
{9} First Roommate(s):
I've never had a roommate. Never shared a room with my sister. Never went away to college so I wasn't in a dorm. While I've "shacked up" (as my parents' generation liked to say) with a man or two, I never gave up my own apartment.
{10} First Time Living Away from Home:
The apartment mentioned in #8.

| I loved you, Bobby. |
In junior high, I paid for a subscription to FAVE with my allowance.
{12} First real piece of jewelry you owned:
I have no precious stones of my own. When my mom died, my sisters decided I should have her engagement/wedding rings. I never wear them. I suppose if times get tough, I can sell them. (My parents did not have a happy marriage and it's hard for me to get sentimental about these rings.)
{13} First time staying home alone:
My parents and sisters went out to dinner but I begged to stay home and they let me. I looooooved it.
{14} First thing I reach for in the fridge:
Coke.
{15} First car accident or traffic violation:
I don't drive.
Bonus: Toilet paper, over or under?
Over. I feel very strongly about this.
So glad you're passionate about the TP. I have become that way myself. Fortunately there are only two of us here, and Walt just goes along with what I do.
ReplyDeleteHow cool to have had a studio with a spiral staircase!
I always had a roommate until I moved into this apartment 20+ years ago. Now I'll never have another roommate, I like being by myself too much.
ReplyDeleteI will never ever live with another person if something happens to my husband.
ReplyDeleteIf I'm the survivor here, I'll stay without a room mate and adopt two more dogs.
ReplyDeleteWith kitties around, it's probably better to have TP OVER rather than UNDER.
My kids just had to leave a place they'd rented for 17 years as it was being sold. Our daughter has a head for numbers like her dad and other sisters, and she toted up their rent to be over $400,000 for which they could have bought a house. Rents are too high where they are but that's the market....hope you win that lotto. :o)
If anything every happens in my relationship and I find myself single again...I don't want any roommates, maybe a dog or two, or ten.
