Winter Guard Day

Going to a color guard competition this afternoon! It's been quite a while since we've been to one. Can't wait to see the programs.

Saturday 9: St. Patrick's Day

1. St. Patrick's Day is March 17th (Thursday). Do you celebrate and wear green? Drink Green Beer? Ignore it?
If I'm going out, I do wear green, etc., but if not I sort of ignore it. Thursday night I'll be in San Antonio with Donna at the Bon Jovi concert! I am certain there will be some lively St. Patty's Day activities afterward at the Riverwalk.

2. If a leprechaun told you that you could have any amount of money from his pot of gold but it had to be a specified amount for a specified item, how much would you ask for and what would it be for?
$599 for an iPhone (that's the Immediate Gratification price, of course)

3. One of the symbols of St. Patrick's Day is the leprechaun. Name a celebrity that you think would look good as a leprechaun. Name a celebrity that would look ridiculous as a leprechaun. Is there any one celebrity that would make a really scary leprechaun?
Robin Williams would be a good leprechaun.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson would look ridiculous.

Howard Stern would be a scary leprechaun.

4. For a prize of $1,000,000,000 you are challenged to make yourself a costume for a St. Patricks Day party. The ONLY rules are that you aren't allow to use clothing and it has to be green. Using anything other than clothing, describe your costume to us using ANYTHING else in the house.
I would use green duct tape and green tissue paper to make a top and a skirt. I would wrap my old flip flops in the duct tape, too.

5. What day of the week is your busiest? Tell us about your schedule.
Monday is the busiest because I work in the morning from 7:30 to 11:30, and then do laundry the rest of the day. The laundry takes well into the night.

6. No matter what's going on in your life, what always makes you smile?
family and friends, most times when they're not even trying

7. Of all the clothes you own, what do you feel most comfortable wearing, and why?
I don't feel comfortable in the typical comfortable clothing, like sweats, because I feel very sloppy-looking in them. I'm most comfortable in jeans and a nice top.

8. On what television show—either past or present—would you like to make to make a guest appearance, and what role would you play?
I've already answered this with the obvious ER/"Dr. Ross's girlfriend" scenario. (Many similar questions last year. LOL. Looks like my taste has changed in toys. Makes the iPhone seem cheap, doesn't it?)

9. What else is on your mind? Go ahead and rant.
My daughter's letter jacket was paid for by the school, but this morning we went for the fitting and the three patches cost me $100. Just the patches. Sewing them on is going to be extra. Yeesh!
