Have I ever?

Stolen from Leesa over at Peace of My Mind. Hope you don't mind.

Snuck out of the house........ No, never really had to. I used to come home by curfew and then left again because Mom didn't care where I was.
Gotten lost in your city.........I am so directionally impaired. I have learned to stay calm except for one when the exit did not have an entrance back on the highway. I was sobbing and in a very bad part of town.
Seen a shooting star.......... Never.
Been to any other countries besides Canada.... Traveled to London on the company's dime in 1997. Loved it.
Had a serious surgery........ Would you call an emergency cholecystecomy serious? I would especially since it was the old-fashioned kind.
Gone out in public in your pajamas....... Since my pj's are often tee-shirts and shorts or lounging pants, what's the harm?
Kissed a stranger...........Hmmm, what defines a stranger?
Hugged a stranger......... probably same answer as the last question.
Been in a fist fight........ Make love not war.
Been arrested.......... NO! I would definitely wet my pants at the possibility.
Laughed and had milk/coke come out of your nose...... Ya, haven't you?
Pushed all the buttons on an elevator........'fraid so. I was a child shit disturber.
Swore at your parents.........Yes, but not proud of it. It happens when you deal with a crazy lady for a mother.
Been in love.......A couple of times.
Been to a casino......... Yes, 2 sisters lives in Vegas at separate times. But never close to home (in St. Louis). Gambling scares me, and why bother when you can play games on the computer that don't cost money.
Been skydiving.......... OMG, I would definitely wet my pants on that one. Look out below!
Skinny dipped...........I don't swim, so a naked drowning woman has a higher chance of needing saving and then someone would actually see me naked.
Skipped school...........Yes, mostly a class here or there my senior year after years of being a golden child so no one suspected. I was always "selling ads" for the school newspaper!
Seen a therapist........ Yes, thank God. Saved my life. Saved my marriage.
Done the splits........... Yes, as a child and teenager when I was not so fat and very limber.
Played spin the bottle...........Never that popular.
Gotten stitches..........Got hit by a car when I was 10, resulting in a few stitches. That emergency surgery I spoke of earlier. And cut my finger on a dog food can lid. OUCH!
Drank a whole gallon of milk in one hour.......... Oh God no, not a big milk fan.
Bitten someone............ When I was little, my nephew who is now almost 40, was a biter. My big sister, his mother, told me that I had to bite him to show him that he had to stop. Nothing like sticking a 2-yr-old's hand in your mouth to bite on purpose. Ahhh, children rearing the 60s.
Been to Niagara Falls........Nope.
Gotten the chicken pox....... Worse case in Jeff City history. Just kidding, but I was in kindergarten and in the early 60s, when they didn't know the time frame of the disease, you had to stay out of school the entire time you had the "pox." I was out of school of 6 weeks. Not a pretty sight. I don't think there was a spot on my body that was not infected.
Kissed a member of the opposite sex.......Yes, hmmmm that may be my big secret. You're dying of curiosity, aren't you?
Crashed into a friend's car........ When I was 16 and just got my license, I crashed into my friend's mailbox, creamed it. Does that count?
Been to Japan......... No
Ridden in a taxi............Many times on business trips so I could tip generously.
Been dumped........... Oh God yes. It was probably mutual.
Shoplifted............ Shoplifted perfume (Paris Nights) from the Kress in downtown Jeff City. Never caught, but I did feel guilty. One time I was "wearing" a blank apron on my shoulder from a craft store so I could buy it and noticed it was on my shoulder when I got to the car. My daughter and I cracked up because I think we were felons.
Been fired............. No, but being laid off is bad enough.
Had a crush on someone of the same sex.........No
Had feelings for someone who didn't have them back........... Ahh, high school.
Gone on a blind date............. Set up in college with a guy who only had a thumb and a finger on his right hand. Awk! But damn, he could roll a joint with his little claw faster than most people could with all 5 fingers.
Lied to a friend...............Yes, who hasn't?
Had a crush on a teacher............ No.
Celebrated Mardi-Gras in New Orleans........... I never want to go to a party where they are excited when the death toll is in the single digits that year.
Slept with a co-worker............ Have you seen the people I've worked with?
Been married........... Yes. Still am. 25 years!
Had children............. 2 wonderful, brilliant, witty, gorgeous daughter
Seen someone die............I've seen someone pretty close on death's doorstep, but not actually die.
Had a close friend die...........Yes, was to have dinner with a close friend on his 45th birthday. His brother called me because he opened his birthday card and called me to tell me that dinner was cancelled and instead I could come to his funeral. It was so awful. Who has a funeral on their 45th birthday?
Been to Africa............ No
Driven over 400 miles in one day........... My husband loves to drive and do it in a day likes there's some reward when we pull into the driveway. So I don't do the driving. I do the navigating and stay awake so he doesn't drive us off the road.
Been to Mexico.......... Juarez to see the dog races. It was no Cancun.
Been to India............. No, but my daughter is dating an Indian (dot not feather). Does that count?
Been on a plane............ Many many times.
Seen the Rocky Horror Picture Show.............I have never seen it because when it came out, I was already a teacher and I was deathly afraid of running into a student while stoned (me or them) so I never went.
Thrown up in a bar..........I have a rot-iron stomach. Never thrown up because of alcohol.
Purposely set a part of myself on fire............Is this crazy? I have set fires in my closet as a child. Not smart.
Eaten sushi..........California roll which isn't raw.
Been skiing/snowboarding............. One of the worst experiences of my life. Had to be rescued off the top of Mt. Riodoso (New Mexico) by the ski patrol after spraining my ankle. Spent the rest of spring break in front of a fireplace drinking rum toddies.
Met someone in person from the internet............ Yes. Twice. Wrote back and forth to an author's secretary (I was in publishing.), and on a whim, the family drove down to Florida and she and her family flew to Orlando one summer. It was wild, and she is one of my dearest friends now. The other time? Gonna write a book about this one day.
Lost a child.............At the mall? No. I've tried. Just kidding.
Gone to college/university............M-I-Z... Z-O-U... bully for ole Mizzou.
Graduated college/university.............No
Fired a gun................. Yes, once with John DeClue when he was in ROTC. Scared the holy shit out of me, but I have a lot of respect for the whole process and know now that when I see a gun fight on tv or the movies, it should be knocking the shooters on their butts.
Purposely hurt yourself................. I bite the inside of my mouth sometimes which hurts like hell esp when eating Mexican food the next day, but nothing like cutting myself or setting fire on myself.
Taken painkillers............... Can we go back to that emergency surgery? Hurts like a son of a bitch to be cut from stem to stern. I don't even know where my stem or my stern is, but it hurts when you cut it. Plus, I had the worst breastfeeding experience in the world and had to take Darvacet for a while. Doesn't necessarily take away the pain. You just don't care about the pain any more. Good stuff! But scary!
