After trying to wrap my brain around the fact that I am now in the last year of my forties all day today...........my brain is completely in a fog. I'm sure the copious amounts of chocolate cake I ingested (thanks to our youth pastor who makes the.best.chocolate cake evah!) didn't have anything to do with it!
But seriously, I can't possibly be almost 50........50! I don't feel over 30 on the inside....okay, maybe 35 but not a half a century old.......
...now you see why I decided to grab this meme I saw at Linda's!
Have you ever. . .
1. Been pulled over? Yes. 3 times in my life. Once, the cop gave me the choice of a ticket or a lecture. I, of course, took the lecture......by the end of the 20+ minute lecture, I was wishing I had taken the ticket!!!
2. Dyed your hair? yep, every 4 weeks!! I went gray early.....too early.
3. Pulled an all-nighter? many times during finals in college....they always killed me! And several other times while working with teens at church!
4. Fallen down in public? I am sure the answer to this is yes....I am a klutz, but I can't think of one at the moment......brain fog, remember!
5. Broken a bone? I broke the top of my foot once when I dropped my briefcase on it.
6. Had braces? Yes. And I thank my parents regularly for it......especially when looking at pre-braces pictures!
7. Built something out of wood? a bird house at home depot with my kids.
8. Been to Disneyland? yes, many times as a kid....living in AZ, CA was our vacation spot. And have been a couple of times as an adult
9. Eaten a Krispy Kreme donut? oh yes! Boston creme filled is my fav!
10. Screamed during a scary movie? yes! Once while watching Halloween in college, the guy next to me reached over his girlfriends shoulder (she was sitting in front of him) for some popcorn. She screamed and through the whole bucket in the air......everyone around her screamed too!
11. Been to a professional sporting event? yes, cowboys football and many base ball games. We are a sports family and try to go whenever we can.
12. Slept till noon? rarely, I am an early riser......well, my body is an early riser, my brain doesn't get up till later.
13. Been arrested? never.
14. Opened Christmas presents early? Never!! I love, love surprises and would never even peek at a present!!! One of my birthday presents (in a gift bag) sat on the counter all day today....I never peeked!!
15. Rolled down a hill? yes!!
16. Toilet papered someone’s house? yep.......more times as an adult!
17. Laughed so hard you cried? Yep! Need to do that more often.
18. Gotten seasick? I, fortunately, don't get sea sick because I love being on the water!
19. Shared a sucker with your dog? no.....yuck!
20. Been in an accident? yes, in college twice (others driving) and once my husband and I got rear ended.
21. Ridden in a limo? yes, a boy I was dating once tried to impress me by picking me up in a limo to go to a concert......it worked.
22. Had a pet fish? My brother did growing up and for a short while my youngest did....emphasis on short while!
23. Been ice skating? yes, and I am not very good at it.
24. Locked your keys in the car? I am so good at this. very thankful now for keyless entry!
25. Ridden a horse? yes, but I am not fond of horses.......and they know it!
So tell me: Have YOU ever?

HAPPY birthday sara! you are "rollin' down that hill" (#15) beautifully! (sorry couldn't resist)
have a fabulous day!
Happy Birthday! Loved reading your answers!
Had to laugh at your emphatic response to 'rolling down a hill' 'cause i love to, and the last time I did was well into my 50's. The last time I wanted to was this week :)
About cribbage. I don't play, yet...will have to learn slowly, not with these guys. i love card games too. Nertz is a favorite.
About the ducks. With the Koch-men it's all about the hunt. But they cannot waste anything, so we take most of them because the others, the wives especially, will NOT eat duck. We're the missionary-type, so we can handle it. I'll be looking for good recipes.
Some is donated to food pantries or missions.
Happy Birthday Sara! you don't look or act a day over 35! :D
i laughed at the 'not being fond of horses, and they know it!'...i am the same way, and the horses certainly do know it! lol.
Happy Birthday!!! Enjoyed reading your answers.
Yeah! I love memes. I learn so much about people!
Loved Linda and your answer:
Rollin down the hill!
ewwww! sharing a sucker with your dog.....haha! never heard of that one.
i lock my keys in the car all.the.time the girls have started asking me before i even get out of the van if i have my keys ;)
I have laughed till I cried, and I love doing it.
If you think the brain fog is bad now...
lol
Haven't you heard, 50s are the new 30s.
Or something like that.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
It's just a number - you look great!!!
Hey, funny thing happened today. I guy came up to the counter today and I wanted to say "Jason". This young man could be his twin. It was really wierd! Thanks for the prayers - Ilove that passage.
Happy Birthday and 50 wasn't so bad. Now 52 is another story! lol
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SARA!
Hey Happy Birthday!! I understand EXACTLY what you're going through. I will be 50 on Sunday. :( This is the first age that has ever made me feel bad. I never would have guessed you were over 35!!
So I guess I'll play this for my birthday too. Maybe Monday so I'm not late with my P365. :)
Happy Birthday!! I read a birthday card that said, "Birthdays...can't live without them". That has helped me face them a little more bravely.
Happy Birthday to you, my young bloggy friend!! (((((hugs)))))
More times as an adult? I'm intrigued! :)
Oooh! Think I may have to do this one. Sounds fun!
Hsppy FIFTY, friend!! I'm right behind you! Yeah, and about that hair color thing? Me, too. :)
AW....I am just catching up on your blog and I totally missed your b-day! Hope it was fabulous - how could it not be, surrounded by your awesome family??? :) Happy Birthday, my friend - may you be blessed above what you could ever ask or think this year.
