Re: A Poll since it's very slow at work today
1. If you could have any color phone what would you pick? hmmm i'm not a color person..so i'd have to say black.
2. Would you ever go sky diving? no! i HATE the free falling feeling. i don't mind heights...but i can't stand that stomach dropping feeling.
3. What about bungee jumping? nope
4. Do you sing in the shower? not really...i guess i used to. i take pretty quick showers. no time for funny business in there
5. Do you have a nickname (other than your screen name)? If so what's it from? my guy friends call me T or TMoney (an off shoot of my maiden name, Thomas)
6. Do you have pictures up in your office/cube? What are they of? i work from home so...no. just picks that are around my house.
1. If you could have any color phone what would you pick? Probably dark grey
2. Would you ever go sky diving? Yes, but I wish I had gone when I was younger. I'd still do it, but I'd be more scared now
3. What about bungee jumping? Off a bridge over water yes. Over the ground, probably not.
4. Do you sing in the shower? Nope
5. Do you have a nickname (other than your screen name)? If so what's it from? The only one I can think of is Wifers. That's what H calls me most of the time, but I think it came from me. I did something devious to him (I think I threw water on him, but I can't be too sure) and I was so proud of myself I yelled out Wiferrrrssss!! and did this hand on the hip finger in the air stance.
6. Do you have pictures up in your office/cube? What are they of? Yep - just two really old ones of me & the dude. Need to update those at some point.
1. If you could have any color phone what would you pick? I'd like to have a white one, but I'm not sure how clean it would stay.??
2. Would you ever go sky diving? Never.... I just got over my fear of flying. There's no way I'm jumping out of the plane.
3. What about bungee jumping? Nope.... I'm a chicken.
4. Do you sing in the shower? No... I'm usually still half asleep when I'm in the shower.
5. Do you have a nickname (other than your screen name)? If so what's it from? My H calls me Gina (not even close to my name). I loved the show Martin and when we started dating I would always say D@mn Gina. I guess it stuck because 12 years later he still calls me Gina.
6. Do you have pictures up in your office/cube? What are they of? Yes, I have a bunch of vacation/wedding/family.

1. If you could have any color phone what would you pick? I like variety, so whatever I do pick isn't go to be forever. I like pink. A teal phone would be cool.

4. Do you sing in the shower? Mmmmm I dont think so, but I can't say no for certain. If its early in the morning I'm still trying to finish what ever dream I woke up from.

I have 3 on my locker.
My mom and me before, I did the wife chop and dyed my hair dark.
This is from our last cruise.
And I think this one of our boat may still be up. I should take it down if it is though b/c that beotch is gone!!
To those who said yes to one (sky diving/bungee jumping) but no to the other, why did you only choose one?

6. Do you have pictures up in your office/cube? What are they of? Just one of my H holding Bretta when she was 6-8 months old
For some reason skydiving seems more fun, less scary to me. Bungee jumping just looks like it would hurt. It's the bounce back that would bother me - not so much the falling.
Woodland - no personal effects?? That's lame!!
1. If you could have any color phone what would you pick? I like my black slick iphone but I have an otterbox that's purple and white and I would want purple and gold haha

3. What about bungee jumping? nope
4. Do you sing in the shower? fo sho

1. If you could have any color phone what would you pick? Just black or gray or whatever. I'm super low-tech lame on phones. I use them to call, that's it. No pictures or texting, etc. Guess who's old
!
2. Would you ever go sky diving? I'm not mad into heights, so probably no. But it's possible.
3. What about bungee jumping? Less likely to do bungee.
4. Do you sing in the shower? I'm too tone-deaf, even alone
!
5. Do you have a nickname (other than your screen name)? If so what's it from? I had one in college (sorority) Buffy. No one ever actually called me that though. I'm pretty much a full name kind o' girl.
6. Do you have pictures up in your office/cube? What are they of? On the walls-- I have my diplomas/license stuff. They basically take up all the wall space. However, if you look closely---on a cork board thing on my desk next to my computer I have my "pretend" dog-- a Springer Spaniel pic a former coworker gave me before we had Lucy. Next to it I have a tiny pic from (from LL Bean no less) of a tri-color English Setter pup that I "pretend" is Lucy's "puppy picture" (we rescued her as an adult dog).
While I find the silly pretend pix amusing (they're small, it's not like super noticeable or anything), it occurred to me that since I actually have a husband and a real dog, it's kind of weird to only have the pretends. Yeah, I had that realization after about a year of being in the office.
. I mentioned it to H and he set me up with a nice 8x10 of him and Lucy in Sicily, which I put on my bookshelf.
