The FINAL chapter of 15 Random Things You Never Needed to Know About Me

....because it's Saturday and tomorrow is Easter and I have a MOUNTAIN of work to do--so naturally I think it's time to work on the blog.  Got it?

31. Sprite or 7-UP?  
Whichever is in the house when I'm sick.  Did your mom do that? --give you 7Up when you had an upset tummy?  Do people drink it any other time?


32. Have you ever had to wear a uniform to school/work?
Nope...I've never had that formal of a job or education.  Dh has always had to wear a uniform, though.  We're night and day, my man and I.


33. Last thing you bought at Walgreens?
We don't have a Walgreens in the area, so I only visit one when I'm on vacation. It's been a year, but I think I bought folders the last time I was there.  Not just any folders, mind you...these had gross versions of food wrappers on them....reminding of the garbage pail kids cards I used to collect when I was a kid.

34. Ever thrown up in public?
I have NO idea why this question is here.  Let's ignore it and move on, k?

35. Would you prefer being a millionaire or finding true love?
All the money in the world won't get you through the tough times--gimme my true love.

36. Do you believe in love at first sight?
That's a toughy.  I believe in lust at first sight. Love is something that grows and develops with care if you work on it. 


37. Spongebob or Jimmy Neutron?
Who? 


38. Did you have long hair as a young kid?
Sometimes....until I wouldn't brush it and it would get all tangled and mom would take me to the hairdresser and have it all cut off.  It always grew back.  Fast.

39. What message is on your voicemail machine?
"HI, thanks for calling the McL's.  We're not answering the phone right now, so leave a message."  BEEEEP
I'm. so. creative. 
When my oldest son was 3 I changed it to, "I can't come to the phone because I'm cleaning up yet another mess, so leave a message and I'll call you back if I can." It was a very frustrating time for me.  He's 17 now and cleans up after himself most days.

40. Where would you like to go right now?
ha-ha-ha...you've got to be kidding.  I *need* to go to the kitchen and start working on Easter dinner. But instead I'm doing exactly what I want to do...so I'm content and I'm not dreaming of Hawaii or some other far-away place.  Not that I'd turn down a free trip to Hawaii, mind you.


41. What's the name of your pet?
Mimi.  She's a retired racing Greyhound and was named when we got her.  Her race name was "Come By Me", but they never call them by their race name so that they won't become distracted by people shouting their names during a race.

42. What kind of back pack do you have, and what's in it?
I have a clearance backpack that I purchased new...oh...3 years ago for a couple of bucks.  It's light green and silver and black. It still looks new. There is nothing in it right now.  It's my vacation backpack.  I'm obviously not on vacation. ...in Hawaii or anywhere else.  Not that I'm bitter....  Moving on:


43. What kind of tennis shoes do you have?
I just bought my first pair of Easy Spirit shoes.  I have a narrow heal, so it's hard to find shoes that I don't walk right out of. I'm also hard on shoes and they don't last long.  So far so good.

44. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone?
Hmmmm....probably my daughter.  Before that it was my Mom to tell her we'd be visiting her and dad today. Another reason that I really shouldn't be working on my blog instead of working on tomorrow's dinner.


45. Mickey Mouse or Bugs Bunny?
Bugs Bunny.  I can't stand that shrill voice of the mouse.  And in all the years that we've been to Florida visiting my snowbird parents, we've never taken our children to see the Mouse in it's Florida habitat.  Even though we were 30 minutes away from Disney.  Shamu, on the other hand, we visited.  That's just how we roll.

Have a blessed Easter, dear friends and family.  I love you all.  Please remember our Savior each and every day...not just when reindeer and bunnies are in the stores.  HE's alive. HE has risen.
