I visited
Angie Arthur's blog today and she had a meme to participate in....
Okay, Angie, here goes!
(Oh, and if anybody is a Toby Keith fan, you will recognize the title of my blog entry today)
1. Were you named after anyone?
My mom – her name is Dorothy Mary. Never quite understood why I was just name Dorothy – no middle name, and I’m the youngest and the only one out of my four siblings who didn’t get a middle name. I guess times were tough when I was born
2. When was the last time you cried?
I guess my last really good cry was the day I had to put my young, otherwise physically healthy (but not mentally) dog to sleep in August. She was so happy and wagging her tail but all involved in her care knew it was best for her.
3. Do you like your handwriting?
Absolutely not!4. What is your favorite lunch meat?
None, I don’t care much for lunch meat.5. Do you have kids?
Yes, I have two wonderful teenagers who have been featured at various times on my blog. 6. If you were another person, would you be friends with you?
I think I would. Except when I get in a bad mood, then I would have to drop me as a friend!7. Do you use sarcasm?
Yes, but would prefer it if I didn’t – I do try to stop myself.8. Do you still have your tonsils?
No, they came out in sixth grade! And, they stuck me in a pediatric ward with a room full of screaming babies and toddlers who cried all night long! Yup, that was back in the day when they actually kept you IN the hospital after surgery. I was the only one in the ward who was old enough to talk!
9. Would you bungee jump?
Nope, not for all the money in the world. 10. What is your favorite cereal?
Like Angie, I’m a kid – who loves Lucky Charms!! However, I usually eat frosted mini wheats or Cheerios because they are “healthy”.

Not always, but I hate having to untie them to get them back on so I do make an attempt to untie when removing.

Ditto Angie!! -Anything with chocolate and peanut butter in it.14. What is the first thing you notice about people?
