Lame Joke

Donna — Mon, 19 May 2008 13:16:00 GMT

Last week my husband went to Wal-mart for lettuce and tomatoes. Here's how the conversation went with the cashier.

Cashier as she rings up the lettuce: Are you going to make honeymoon salad?

Husband: What?

Cashier: You know, lettuce alone.

Questions You Could Ask Your Family

Donna — Mon, 26 Jun 2006 06:00:00 GMT

I was cleaning out my purse the other day and found a list of ten questions that I saved from a magazine several years ago. They are supposed to help a family get closer by finding out about each other. Ask your family the questions at the dinner table, in the car, at a restaurant while waiting for your food, or any other place. Have fun!

1. If you could have picked your own name, what would it be?

2. If you could switch places with any movie character, who would you choose?

3. What’s the best thing I ever did for you?

4. Who are the best and worst teachers you ever had and why?

5. Are there any places you wish we could visit or travel to on vacation?

6. When you dream, what do you dream about?

7. Which would you rather explore: beneath the ocean or outer space?

8. Is there one food you wish we never made for dinner again?

9. How much time do you think you spend watching TV and using the computer?

10. When you grow up, how many children would you like to have?

Meme Taggaroni!

Donna — Thu, 16 Jun 2005 01:44:00 GMT

I've been tagged by Prochein Amy! Below are five things that I miss about my childhood.

1. As a teenager, sitting in the grass in the backyard on Saturday afternoon talking to my friends. This includes not having to clean house, cook, pay bills, and all that grown-up stuff. My childhood was a carefree time, especially the time a spent outside playing when I was younger or talking to friends when I was older.

2. Roller skating on our street in England. The street was sloped, so I would be going really fast by the time I got to the bottom of the street.

3. Being excited about Christmas morning. (I had that feeling when my children were little, and I have that feeling again now that I have grandchildren.)

4. Having the time to read and read and read.

5. Drinking Delaware Punch and Coke (with slivers of ice) from a bottle and eating Dreamsicles and my mother's good cooking. And drinking and eating all I wanted because I was so skinny.

Your turn!

Remove the first blog from the following list, bump everyone up one place, and add your blog’s name in the bottom of the list. Then add links to their blogs in order the multiply the meme.

Now tag four other bloggers with their links. (Except I only picked three because I'm new at this and don't visit that many blogs. How long can I use this excuse?!)

Tag, you're it!

One Happy Dog Speaks (I tagged her because she makes me happy with her terrible jokes, and because I like the names Tater and Tot.)
April Fool (Because she's nobody's fool, and because she went to high school with my daughter.)
Uptown Girl (Because I like her photos, and because I like George.)

Whew!
