|Happy Friday, everyone! Hope you’re all kicking off the weekend in a fun and relaxing way if possible. David and I are painting the town red. …Wellll, part of our living room is painted red. Does that count? We turned down multiple social engagement offers in our metropolis to be present for the season premiere of Stargate Atlantis.
Whilst awaiting the big moment (I said that with a British accent), I’m taking inspiration from a great blog, Altered Ambitions. Christi was challenged to share seven random things about herself. So I thought to myself, “Why not mooch off of this idea?” (also said with a British accent)
So for your weekend reading pleasure (or pain), here are seven random things about me…
1. My left thumb is double jointed.
2. I think Worcestershire sauce on mashed potatoes is quite tasty.
3, When I was born I had black hair and blue eyes. (very different now – no comments!)
4. Despite a fear of heights, I’d love to try parasailing and the trapeze.
5. I’ve been on Texas’ death row. Don’t ask me how I escaped.
6. I think it’s fascinating how owls can turn their heads so far around.
7. I have never understood the appeal of the Three Stooges.
…There you have it. Now, what about you?

Sorry, this isn’t a comment on this particular message, but I just know all of you are waiting on pins and needles to see how Alison is genealogically connected to the Cass County courthouse in Linden, Texas. As is happened, Alison’s third great-grandfather on her mother’s father’s side sold 50 acres (for $50.00, total)to the county in 1849. The land where the courthouse now stands in Linden is part of that original sale. By the way, Linden won out for county seat over the little burg of Jefferson.

(sigh)…you are such a girl (relating to the 3 Stooges comment)
October 2nd, 2007 at 3:28 am
Heyyyyyyyy!!!!
I’m okay with that.
October 2nd, 2007 at 10:01 am
What a fun tidbit! Thanks, Alison’s mom!! LOVE the photo from the prayer garden today…such a serene, beautiful place!!! smiles…

I have always said that the stooges are a man thing. I know of only a small miniority of ladies who enjoy the comic genius of the three stooges.
(sigh) I guess ladies just don’t know a good thing when they see it. After all, Daniel is married. See…ladies do not have good taste! I guess I’ll never understand women not liking the three stooges or a baseball to the groin joke (just kidding on that last one).
October 2nd, 2007 at 4:04 pm
Well, we ladies would like these three geniuses a lot better if they would just leave out the eye poking, noggin hitting, cheek slapping, board-to-face slamming, banana-peel slipping, and nose twisting.
And then it would only take about two minutes to watch them. Everyone wins.

To quote an earlier comment:

But “Better Off Dead” is a cultural icon to Ali. Wait…I guess 2 dollars is better than getting poked in the eye.
October 2nd, 2007 at 10:35 pm
“…Cash!”
Wait a minute–doesn’t everyone consider “Better Off Dead” a defining cultural event???
“I’ve been at this high school for seven and a half years, Lane. I’m no dummy.”
“Two brothers… One speaks no English, the other learned English from watching ‘The Wide World of Sports.’ So you tell me… Which is better, speaking no English at all, or speaking Howard Cosell?”
Somebody stop me!
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:49 am
ROFL…I refuse to stop you. You have me plum giggly now.
Dave – you man you…do you watch the stooges whilst (yes, British accent) drinking your raspberry latte with whipped cream?
ok…quick seven, since I haven’t a blog of my own…
1. I am afraid of heights, too, and hate to stand on step stools.
2. I teach 2 year olds at Sunday School. They’ve taught me more than I ‘ve taught them.
3. I’ve named all of my cars.
4. My first pet was a weiner dog named Clementine.
5. I love dumb “guy” movies, although, I, too, don’t understand the three stooges.
6. I got my belly button a couple of months ago. Don’t know what came over me, but I do love it!
7. I think Dave is kinda cute.
And there you have it.
October 3rd, 2007 at 1:51 am
yep, I received a brand new belly button a couple months ago…in the mail.
Ok, I meant “I got my belly button pierced a couple months ago.”
Yeah…I’m a mother of two. Can’t talk good anymore.
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:03 am
Heh heh heh…I knew I could reel you in, Kara, if I whipped out the 80s Cusack! =)
I could say that I think Daniel’s kinda cute, too, but we’re not that kind of family.
(And to those reading who are now seriously questioning their taste in blogs, you might want to know that she and I are married to twin brothers.)
October 3rd, 2007 at 4:17 am
Seven “nuggets”:
1. Down on eye-poking stooges.
2. Peanut butter and mustard sandwiches rock.
3. “Better Off Dead” and Lane Meyer define 80′s movie magic, not to mention celebrating the French culture…French fries, French dressing…
4. Not a fan of heights.
5. I’ve met Walker, Texas Ranger.
6. .38 Special made some special 80′s music.
7. Bugs Bunny is cartoon genius.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:17 am
Very nice, See-ster. I think I had blocked out the PB & mustard sammies from my memory. I also seem to recall some other “delicacy” sandwiches you liked when we were little. Wasn’t there a butter sandwich, too? =)
But I guess I shouldn’t be cheeky when I have you, Sensei, to thank for showing me the path to Better Off Dead and Looney Tunes.
Tell us about when you met the Chuckster, please.
October 3rd, 2007 at 5:29 am
alright miss kara…I’ll have you know that right now there is no raspberry latte or blackberry mocha with whipped cream in my hand, but a simple caramel apple cider …uhhh …with whipped cream.
I mean, come on! Life’s too short to not enjoy whipped cream and the stooges!
October 3rd, 2007 at 2:34 pm
ewwww, peanut butter and mustard?!?!
Kara, I am seeing you in a whole new light…belly button pierced??
When do you get the motorcycle…
smiles!
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:00 pm
Is this news to you Christi? At least I talked her out of the tatoo – for now.
At least she still does not like the 3 Stooges – for now.
October 3rd, 2007 at 11:54 pm
But many respectable women have a tattoo.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:56 am
are you calling Kara respectable?!
October 4th, 2007 at 2:58 am
I’m not sure if anyone should be called respectable if they don’t understand the comic genius of the stooges (except Alison of course)
October 4th, 2007 at 10:23 am
Alison…do you have news too? tattoo??? smiles…
October 4th, 2007 at 1:58 pm
You guys are cracking me up!
Chris – no motorcycle in the immediate future…sadly, I’m terrified of them. So this image I’ve been cultivating is totally down the drain, eh?
Alison – Thank you! ha HA!! In your face, Dan!
Dave – you are right. Life IS too short to not enjoy whipped cream in your girly drinks. Absolutely true.
Dan – I love you anyway.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:53 pm
LOL! Kara, not down the drain…actually probably raised a notch or two. I think that it is good for the soul to break a rule or two…
Alison, have I mentioned lately that I love your blog? It makes me feel a little closer to home. LOVE you guys!
smiles!
October 4th, 2007 at 3:12 pm
Ah, good times, good times…
I don’t necessarily have any immediate plans for a tattoo, but I’ll admit I’ve thought about it.
Some people have surprised me when I found out they actually do have a tattoo. And it would be hard for others to believe.
October 4th, 2007 at 11:59 pm
I have a heart that says “Curly” on my left “hiney” cheek and “Moe” on my right.
I too am enjoying the good times on your blog Ali and Christi’s comment made me smile.
