QOTD - Wednesday

Hi everyone!! Sorry I'm so late getting this out. I overslept big time this morning, then I got busy reading the posts and forgot to post this!!! Must still be half asleep. We had another massive thunderstorm come thru our area last night and the dogs were going ballistic. There was even the possibility of tornados in it - which is unusual for the coastal area we live in. It was quite a storm! Okay...on to the questions and fun! 1. What was one of your favorite cartoons to watch when you were a kid? 2. Do you still like to watch cartoons? 3. What is your favorite section of the newspaper? 4. What is your goal weight? Did you pick it or did the doctor? 5. When was the last time you went to the zoo? 6. What is your favorite animal at the zoo? 7. Are you still loosing your hair? Has the loss slowed or is it still coming out like crazy? 8. What was your favorite field trip when you were in grade school? Where did you go? What made it so memorable? 9. Do you still keep in touch with friends you grew up with? Why/why not? 10. How much jewelry do you wear on a daily basis? Okay...that's all I could come up with this morning. I forgot to make my list last night, so I had to compose at the keyboard this AM.... Actually went better than usual. Maybe I'm just getting the hang of this....or these are really lame questions... Either way....HAVE FUN!! Susan

1. What was one of your favorite cartoons to watch when you were a kid? Oh wow...I loved to watch cartoons when I was little. Some of my favorites were Tom and Jerry, Roadrunner, Bugs Bunny, Pepe le Pew (sp???), Chip and Dale.....the list goes on. I think those were way funnier and more imaginative than what kids watch today. 2. Do you still like to watch cartoons? I watch them with my kids....but I have to admit, I just don't really enjoy them like the ones I watched growing up. 3. What is your favorite section of the newspaper? Hee hee....the comics!!! Seriously. I read those first, then the style section, then homes, then the local pages, then the front page....OH...and I clip the coupons from the Sunday paper right after I do the comics. It's my routine. 4. What is your goal weight? Did you pick it or did the doctor? I'm still wavering on this. It will be between 124-134. Depends on when I get there. The doctor said I could pick my own - where ever I felt best. So, I'm going to do just that. Find the weight where I feel good and my body stays at without too much work on my part. Then I will just maintain that for the rest of my life!!! 5. When was the last time you went to the zoo? Last fall before surgery. We had a BLAST!!! 6. What is your favorite animal at the zoo? The San Antonio zoo has an animal called the Okapi - it's a mixture of several different animals. Very strange looking. Unfortunately, it was too far away and in the shade so we didn't get any good pictures of it. We tried though!! 7. Are you still loosing your hair? Has the loss slowed or is it still coming out like crazy? I'm still loosing like crazy. I thought last week that it had slowed...and then it picked back up again. Hmmmmm....wonder why that was?? Maybe I just didn't notice how much was in my brush.... 8. What was your favorite field trip when you were in grade school? Where did you go? What made it so memorable? Oh wow...this is an easy one for me!! When I was in second grade we went to see a stage production of the Wind in the Willows at our state capital. It was FABULOUS and was the first time I'd gone to a professionally staged play. Then, eating our sack lunches at this fantastic park on the way there....and the special surprise snack we had on the way back....WAY too much fun! We had a blast that day. The only thing I didn't like was my Mom didn't get to go along with us because she had to stay home to be there for my brother after school. I really missed her that day. 9. Do you still keep in touch with friends you grew up with? Why/why not? No. We all drifted apart after high school. I only had two really good friends from high school that went to the same college I did...and they both quit before 2 years were out. We didn't stay in touch much after that. One got pregnant, married and started a completely different life and felt we didn't have anything in common anymore and basically didn't ever return my calls, come by to see me, or anything anymore. The other moved to Alaska and thought she was better than everyone else and didn't keep in touch anymore either. However, she and I had a falling out before she left and I didn't care that she left anyway!!! lol Still keep in sporadic touch with some of my friends from college, but we've spread out across the US so much that it's hard to stay close. Especially as they are NOT addicted to the computer like I am. 10. How much jewelry do you wear on a daily basis? I wear earrings, my wedding ring and 2 necklaces every day. When I go out, I usually add my watch (now that I found it!!!), my charm bracelets (if they go with the outfit) and sometimes another necklace - or different ear rings.
