I'm a Chevy? Ack.

I'm a Chevrolet Corvette!

You're a classic - powerful, athletic, and competitive. You're all about winning the race and getting the job done. While you have a practical everyday side, you get wild when anyone pushes your pedal. You hate to lose, but you hardly ever do.

Take the Which Sports Car Are You? quiz.

The following is something you can cut and paste to your blog, then bold the items you've done.

1. Started your own blog
Um....you're here right?
2. Slept under the stars
Regularly. We dragged some mattresses out onto our deck this summer and watched meteors and stars for hours. Some of us came inside when it got a bit damp.:)
3. Played in a band
Flute. Jr. High school band. woohooo...
4. Visited Hawaii
Several times. Lived there for a year.
5. Watched a meteor shower
See above. I remember camping out in a friend's field one time, to watch the Leonid meteor shower. We didn't see a damn thing but we froze our butts off.
6. Given more than you can afford to charity
7. Been to Disneyland/world
Land. Several times. You can have it.
8. Climbed a mountain
Mt. St. Helens several times, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood (just shy of the peak).

Heck, I've hatched them. Unintentionally, but there ya go.
10. Sang a solo
In my car, all the time.

13. Watched a lightning storm at sea
From our family cabin on Busby island.

15. Adopted a child
Not me personally, but my parents adopted three children.
16. Had food poisoning
Um...yeah. Hasn't everyone?
17. Walked to the top of the Statue of Liberty
Thought I'd get a glimpse of it while driving through NY last May. Big mistake.

All the time. Best food you can get.
19. Seen the Mona Lisa in France

26. Gone skinny dipping
Hells yeah.
27. Run a Marathon
Nooop. Does a triathlon count? Competed in the Santa Rosa Island triathlon in 2001. Came in 16th for my age group (out of something like 38).

31. Hit a home run
I think my Dad was just being nice though and handicapping himself.
32. Been on a cruise
One in Hawaii and one in Mexico. You know, those little dinner cruise type things? Never on those big cruises. I think they sound like one of the most wasteful things you could possibly do. The luxury part always sounds nice until I think about all the waste that must go on to make it happen.
33. Seen Niagara Falls in person
Soon...soon.....
34. Visited the birthplace of your ancestors
Which ancestors? I'm living in Cherokee country. So I live in the birthplace of some ancestors. I'd need to visit a lot of places to get them all though....Scotland, Norway, Switzerland. Who knows what else.....

That was La's fault. I'm pretty sure I scared small children but had a ton of fun with my gurlz.

Yep, yep.
43. Bought a stranger a meal at a restaurant
When a homeless guy needs food and the restaurant is right there, what else do you do?

45. Walked on a beach by moonlight
Many a time. I lived in Hawaii and Florida yo.
46. Been transported in an ambulance
No, but Bleu was. When Jared was exactly one week old, Bleu fell off Mt. Hood. Scary stuff. I was at the emergency room most of the night with our wee babsy boy, waiting for the ambulance to arrive, not knowing if he was mostly ok or dying. As it turns out, he was injured and had exposure injuries but was mostly ok.
47. Had your portrait painted
That goes with the territory of being in art class.

63. Gotten flowers for no reason
Not often enough! But I get chocolate from
complete strangers now. It's good to gear conference talks

81. Visited the Vatican
82. Bought a brand new car
Yeah, bad idea.
83. Walked in Jerusalem
84. Had your picture in the newspaper
85. Read the entire Bible
Probably. I grew up in a Christian cult, dontcha know?
I know more Bible than most Christians, which really
freaks them out because they expect a heathen to be
drooling and dumb. Or at least growing horns or something.
86. Visited the White House
87. Killed and prepared an animal for eating
Um....fishing requires gutting.
88. Had chickenpox
89. Saved someone’s life
Not that I know of, though I've stopped at accidents to help. Held a woman's hand through her flipped over truck and talked her down while the rescue team prepared to cut her out. I think she was mostly uninjured, just trapped. I instructed people to get blankets on an injured pedestrian once. Don't know if she survived or not.

96. Swam in the Great Salt Lake
Ok, didn't swim in it...hell it was December! Touched it and took pics though.

Beekeeper. Duh.
