If you have not read the musings of Oonaballoona yet, you need to stop and read up on this lovely lady. Go ahead, I'll wait. Just put down your coffee first or you may end up spitting all over your laptop and impairing your "L" key like some of us...
But this fabulous bloggess has nominated me for "I Am All That" Award - which I gladly accept with a grin, because how could you not? The title of the award rocks my socks off.
This award was originated by the also lovely beangirl - who is also hilarious and should be read regularly.
1. what size shoe do you wear? if you wear a size 7, can i borrow your shoes?
I wear a size 10, sadly. I have large feet and it can get a little weird with shoes sometimes and the pinching and whatnot...but I will proudly admit to wearing running shoes in a 10 1/2 because I am a runner and my feet swell during the marathon but I am running a marathon so I am a WARRIOR!
Whew. Other than that, I think my feet are just big and clumsy most of the time. I painted my toenails orange this morning. Are we surprised? Not really.
2. 30's or 60's?
I really love the 60s, for both the hippie elements of loose clothing, long hair and wide leg jeans...kind of like the photo below...hello Abe Lincoln photobomb! I also really love the sheath dresses and "Mad Men" looks, because they just really work for my curves.
...I also really love the glamour of the 30s...the hair, the luxurious fabrics, the way everything appeared just so...
...so I am going to take the easy way out and say both :)
3. have you ever kissed someone you shouldn't have?
Most definitely, yes - yes, yes, yes. I did however, use this lesson in life to write a solo performance piece on all the people I had kissed...and then performed it in my stand up class's showcase. He totally had a girlfriend, but something came over me and I was like "Sh-BAM!" I was also a freshman in college and to me, he smelled like cookies. Seriously. He wore the vanilla scent from Bath and Body Works.
Now I only kiss the Robert.
4. have you ever been poisoned? was it by the girlfriend of the person you kissed? that is awesomely "knot's landing."
I was not poisoned by that girl, but I have gotten food poisoning from olives. Twice. You're probably like, "No way, Meg," but I am telling you, it was hard to think otherwise. I don't want to go into details, but let's just say I got crazy sick the first time I met Rob's parents and threw up in front of his father the next day. "Pleased to meet you - blech!" I cried the entire way home from Missouri...all 7 1/2 hours. Apparently, that endeared me to his family and we get along great now.
...Or maybe they poisoned me to test me to see if I was worthy. And now I have just entered a whole new level of paranoia.
5. who's on your "celebrity free pass" list (top 5)?
