Getting to Know YOU! (with MannLand5)

Hey all, its time for the weekly "Getting To Know You" with MannLand5.  Answer these questions and then link up to her page :-)  I know, I know....I'm late.  But, better late than never, right?


The questions..



1. The most expensive thing hanging in my closet is.....?
Probably my ski jacket.

2. Have you ever played a team sport?
Yes.....Volleyball, Basketball, and Softball in high school.  In college, I did club basketball and IM volleyball, and was also on the Archery Team (kind of a team sport ;-) )

3. If you were a bug, what kind would you be?
Ok, this is going to be a really dorky answer.  In college, I had a friend who was an Entomology PhD candidate (entomology= the study of insects).  He actually discovered a new species of fly.....The Long-Legged Fly.  So, I'll go with that as my answer.  Who wouldn't want to have loooong legs??



4. Where on your body is the worst place to get sunburned? (thanks Ian)
I'm going to go with my butt.   There is a story behind this...  In High School, I was tanning for prom, and one night, burned my butt REALLY badly.  It so happened that it was also softball season.  The day after the Great Burn, I had a softball game.  I had a really good hit and was trying to stretch it out as far as possible.  It probably should have been a double, but I pushed for the triple.  To make it to 3rd base safely, I had to slide.  That was the most painful slide EVER with my burned tushy!


5. Are you happy?
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I am very happy!  I've always been a happy person, but now having JS in my life, I couldn't be happier!

6. People are always abbreviating..are there any abbreviations that make your skin crawl when people use them?  Hmmmmmm....I don't like excessive abbreviating.  I can see if you're in a hurry and your texting on a phone and what to abbreviate, but I don't like it when people start bringing it into emails.  I guess what comes to mind is when 4 U is used in place of for you.  Yeah, I guess that aggravates me ;-)  hehe

7. Do you love where you live..or could you live anywhere?
I do love where I live!  Its a great little town, AND its only an hour away from my family!  I'm definitely soaking all of this in because I know that I'll be moving in a year after JS and I are married.  I've never been that far away from my family, so it will be interesting!

8. What, if any, extreme measures do you go to to keep yourself from overeating when you're full?
I'm not above drinking a few glasses of water.....that helps to keep my tummy extra full.....and its low-calorie ;-)
