I sympathize with Jacquie's #7, and it could make it on my list, but it does not fill me with the same kind of sweaty palm, weak muscled nausea that the sound of my #7 makes.
I wish that Jacquie's #3 had an opportunity to happen to me more often.
#5, I love that word, too, but it can only really be paired with "crazy." But, then you'd think it's be a regular part of my vocabulary (given the crazy people I'm around).
Beth's #1 and #2 make us like soul sisters. I like her #5 a lot, too.
And, I gotta love "Skippy's" #5. I was just complaining on Friday night that we don't drink enough champagne.
You ladies are a riot!
Geez. I just realized that I offered up conflicted answers to numbers 8 and 9. I don't want to be a grave digger for people who have recently died, instead I'd like to try digging up people who have been dead a long time?!?
ReplyDeleteI may need some professional help.
" I don't want to be a grave digger for people who have recently died, instead I'd like to try digging up people who have been dead a long time?!?'
ReplyDeleteI thought it was a pre-planned statement of sophisticated irony and admired the thought you must've put into it. I actually gave a little laugh at it when I first read it, seriously, I thought you meant it that way!
