48 Things You Could Care Less About
1. FIRST NAME?
Margaret
2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
My Grammy who everyone calls Maggie but when I was born my mom didn't think Maggie was good for a little kid - old lady name she said - so I'm Beth because my middle name is Elizabeth.
3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY?
Happy cry or sad cry? Happy on Saturday at Rhinebeck when I saw all of the ribbons on m shawl. Sad, also about a week ago, about my second daughter Chelsea who thinks she has to do everything in her life the hard way.
4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
Not at all. Very messy. Couldn't do much about it when I was younger and have no inclination to fix it now.
5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCHMEAT?
Honey Ham if it has to be lunch meat. I like it a little warmed up though. Maybe a grilled ham and cheese sandwich.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Yes siree. I'm hilarious - at least my friend Angie in Buffalo thinks so. My kids are somehow unamused.
7. DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL?
I own a journal. Am I supposed to write in it too?
8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Yup.
9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
I'm terribly afraid of heights.
10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?
Stone cut oatmeal that I have to cook for 45 minutes. Crap! I forgot to get that yesterday.
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
Not unless it's necessary. Actually I can't think of any shoes I wear regularly that have any ties.
12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
Stubborn may be more like it. If you want to know physically, I think I can do 2 pushups and no pullups.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR?
It changes but right now Cherry Garcia and Sweet Cream ice cream with strawberries, graham crackers and chocolate chips from Cold Stone. If it has to be ice cream for a group I'm going for butter pecan. From the looks of that answer I think I think too much about ice cream which could be the source of the roundness.
14. SHOE SIZE?
7
15. RED OR PINK?
Red if I have to choose and both if I don't.

My friend Angie and my sister.
18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU?
Do I want every one to fill it out? Heck, yeah.

Lobster in all its forms - on bread, in the shell, in casseroles, as stuffing...

Happy endings, andy kind. I hate to be scared. I'm scared of it.

My family is not very touchy so I'm not either unless I can see that the situation calls for a hug. Pennsylvania Dutch you know.

43. FAVORITE SOUNDS? Quiet, Maggie playing the piano as only a 5 year old can, Maggie and Ryan laughing. Brittney's voice when she calls on Sundays and Chelsea's voice if she calls.
44. ROLLING STONE OR BEATLES?
Beatles. What kind of question is that? When I was 15 I had a stereo that recorded 8 tracks and the local radio station had 24 hours of beatles songs one day. I think I recorded 10 hours of it on 8 track. I also had almost all of their vinyl albums. Unfortunately some were destroyed when my sister took them to college. Thanks Tammy!

Now I have a favor to ask of anyone who went to Rhinebeck. There was a vendor there who was selling little wooden spinning wheel lamps. I need one for the store. I almost bought one and then never went back. I have been all over the internet trying to find the guy and can't even remember then name of the shop. I think they were in the very back barn that kind of was off by itself. Anybody remember? I sure would appreciate the help.

Of course - roommates in a past college life would totally explain it! Especially coincidences like #4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 (except I can't actually do any pushups at all), 15, 16, 22, 23, 25, 27, 30, 33, 35, 36, 44, even #2 in a way (being named after grandmas but not actually having the same name as said grandma)...and for all we know, #34, too!
#17-which one?
I think you could get over your anger issues if you could let 44 go. They were dad's, you weiner.
