X. X-Rays you’ve had: broken foot (twice), two broken fingers, broken arm, lungs


Y. Yummy food that you make: Roast and potatoes, chicken n dumplins, layered potatoes


Z. Zoo animal: the funniest one...Ostrich. Only because this one time, about 22 yrs ago, I was leaning out the drivers window (drive thru zoo) to take a picture and he reached his head in my passenger window and bit my butt and I wet my britches!  My older kids won't forget that day!
But I enjoy watching the monkeys. 




Your turn....and let me know if you post this...I'd love to get to know you better too!

What an interesting and fun list! My goodness you've had your share of hospital stays but your movie quote explains it all, I love it. : )

I studied the guitar for a year, in high school and would love to pick it up again, good for you!

And I learned to drive stick shift in my dad's escort, it was fun to drive! Then, what isn't when you're 16? ; )

Okay, I love this! I might have to do this post one day next week!

I'm 5'10 too! woo hoo for the tall ladies!

When my husband & I were first married I told him I wanted to buy a king size bed (he's really tall too) but he said he didn't think we needed one. Four and a half years later, he says that was stupid! In March, we are going to be buying a king size bed. I can NOT wait!!!

This a fun post! It's a fun way to get to know more about our blogger friends. I'll try to do this soon. We have something in common...I was a middle child and had 2 brothers and I was blond when younger. Color does the trick, now! Ha!

I'll come unload your dishwasher for you if you'll come dust for me. You sure jogged my memory on hospital stays. I totally forgot I had to stay overnight once when I broke my arm.

I'm also a 5'10" blonde with a brother on either side and I hate brussel sprouts! I used to be 6' but I shrank. The story about the ostrich is hilarious, I'm sure your kids will never forget that!

Lynn said...

Saw this at Faithfulness Farm, think it's a cute idea so I played along! Thanks:@)

Angela said...

You are TALL! Great to learn a little more about you!

Debby@Just Breathe said...

That was fun. Can't believe you are 5'10". I am only 5'2" and shrinking.....My sister is 5'8"!
I always wanted to be tall.

Jen said...
