Roll Call - TOO EARLY in the morning!

Good morning, peeps! It is 6:45 AM and I have been at work since 6:15. I had to drop my husband off at the airport so I just came to work from there. I have no idea where the light switches are so I am sitting here in the dark. I can't even do my make-up or else I will end up looking like Tammy Faye! So...I thought it would be a good time to do roll call! So here is today's edition... 1. What is the most unusual thing that you can do? 2. Finish the following question: People would be very surprised to know that I _____. 3. If you wrote an autobiography, what would be the title? 4. What is the craziest thing you have ever done? 5. Do you have a favorite poem? If so, what is it? Okay...that's all today. It is not easy coming up with questions everyday but I will try my darndest! Have a wonderful day, everyone! It is only two days until my son comes home so I am SOOOO PSYCHED! Hugs, Jersey Mom

Chiming in with my answers... 1. What is the most unusual thing that you can do? ~Hmm...it is a tie between two unusual things. Oh, hey! The lights just came on in my building! Whoo hoo! Anyhow....I can put both legs behind my head and I can also stand on my toes (with my toes curled under...this REALLY grosses people out!). 2. Finish the following question: People would be very surprised to know that I was married in India; that I am often crippled by depression (people at work would be floored); that I used to be a strict born-again; that I used to be a prude! 3. If you wrote an autobiography, what would be the title? ~Here is my nod to Wally Lamb. My autobiography would be entitled, "She Will Not Come Undone." 4. What is the craziest thing you have ever done? ~Oooh...where to start. Probably the craziest was showing up at a famous singer's house uninvited when I was 18. My pal and I just walked up to the doorman, I sweet talked him, and we were let up. And we were invited to stay!! 5. Do you have a favorite poem? If so, what is it? ~ There are many poems that I adore but here are my favorites: --My favorite poem now: Song of a Wandering Aengus by William Butler Yeats I went out to the hazel wood, Because a fire was in my head, And cut and peeled a hazel wand, And hooked a berry to a thread; And when white moths were on the wing, And moth-like stars were flickering out, I dropped the berry in a stream And caught a little silver trout. When I had laid it on the floor I went to blow the fire aflame, But something rustled on the floor, And someone called me by my name: It had become a glimmering girl With apple blossom in her hair Who called me by my name and ran And faded through the brightening air. Though I am old with wandering Through hollow lands and hilly lands, I will find out where she has gone, And kiss her lips and take her hands; And walk among long dappled grass, And pluck till time and times are done The silver apples of the moon, The golden apples of the sun. --My very first favorite poem when I was young: Dreams by Langston Hughes Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly. Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow. -------------------------------- Have a great day, Everyone! Jersey
