Woo Hoo...here we are, again, for A Wee Bit Of Me Wednesday! All you have to do is head on over to Leigh Ashley's blog and link up to join in on all the fun. C'mon now...you know you want to! Alrighty, here we go!
{One} If you won a trip to Disneyland/world, who would you take with you? Seriously...do you even have to ask? My family, of course! If I didn't, they'd probably never speak to me, again!{Two} When was the last time you listened to a CD? I can't even tell you the last time! I'm guessing a year, if not longer. I listen to my tunes on my iPod. 80's all the way, baby!
{Three} What spice/seasoning is your favorite? I love lots of Italian seasoning on my lasagna, spaghetti, and pizza.
{Four} If you were in a band, what kind of music would you play? OK, this may come as a shock, but I've always wanted to learn how to play the drums. I think there's a rocker in me just dying to break out, so I'd have to say rock from the 80's, of course. Maybe a little Heart or Bon Jovi thrown in there.
{Five} If you could have personally witnessed one historical event, which one would it be? Wow, that's a tough one...there's so many! How about when the Wright Brothers took their first flight in Kitty Hawk, NC.? I bet that was something to witness! Of course, I would have loved to see Jesus walk across water or be resurrected! Simply AMAZING!
{Six} If you could go back to school, what would you study? I have, actually, thought about this many times. I have two degrees in speech-language pathology. I really loved working in the field, but I found it to be very frustrating at times. At one school where I worked, I performed therapy out of a BROOM CLOSET, if you can believe it. Talk about a tiny space! I did the best I could with what I was given. Then, I had mounds of paperwork to do, which didn't leave me much time to devote to my kids. So, if I could go back, I might choose pediatric nursing or physical therapy...I would still want to be in the field of helping people.
{Seven} If you could go to one sporting event, all expenses paid, which one would you see? Let's see...I think I'd have to go to the World Series, especially if the Braves were in it!
{Eight} Do you drive an automatic or a manual? Definitely an automatic! When Chris and I were dating, he attempted to teach me how to drive a stick shift. It was a total disaster! We'd go and stop like every few feet...not a great way to make a positive impression.{Nine} Are you comfortable speaking in front of people? Nope...and probably never will be! I think the first time I did it was back in high school when I was the MC for the talent show. I faked it the entire time like I was an old pro at it. Then, I had several speech classes in college and I can recall sitting in my seat just praying the professor wouldn't call on me! I even break out in hives on my neck and my face turns beet red whenever I speak in front of people...what's with that?
{Ten} Have you ever experienced an earthquake? Thankfully, NO...and after what's happened to the poor people in Japan, I pray I never will, either!

Heart ROCKS!
Your wedding picture is awesome! Love it!
Oh my gosh....#9 is totally me!! Hives, red face, and all!! ugh!!
And I have to agree with the 80's....you can't get much better than that!
I laughed about the CD...while I was driving to a track meet last night I couldn't find a station I liked so I listened to a CD!!
My hands used to sweat terribly when I had to speak in front of people. After all the presentations for my degree, that finally went away but I still get nervous. It's great reading these to learn more about you. Thanks for sharing. Blessings, SusanD
I love that you are this Southern-Belle-kinda gal & you love 80's Rock!!! :)
I'd love to see Jesus... but the time period? No air conditioning? No bathrooms? ohhh - that's rough...
As much as I talk in public in church, I still get nervous & break out in a rash myself - so dont feel bad.
Great post...surprising, I never imagined you had this bad girl lurking down deep inside of you!!! I love it!!

Neat post, April! My BFF's daughter plays the drums and loves it. She just does it for her own enjoyment.
I was in an aftershock of an earthquake in San Francisco, and it was the weirdest feeing on earth. I was at a convention in a gorgeous old hotel, and I thought in the middle of the night that someone had dropped their suitcase off the bed in the room next door. THe whole floor moved. But it was an aftershock. Scary stuff.
I love Italian seasoning best, too!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Rock on April! LOL!
Suprising but great answers. Never pictured you a drum playing 80's music type.
Had to laugh at the stick shift answer. I've driven a stick shift since I was in 9th or 10th grade. Both of my cars were (before the recent new purchases) stick shifts, so both of my kids know how to drive them. Yay for that!
You better not ever go on the show The Amazing Race. Those people ALWAYS get stuck with stick shift cars.
Visiting from a wee bit of me.
Amazing photos. I lve the touch they gave on your answers.
Blessings
So what you're saying is you are a secret Rocker but afraid of the microphone. :)
Hooray for 80s music!!!
I love getting to know you better!! We have so many similarities! Well...except for the drums!

I wouldn't sing Bon Jovi, but I'd have him sing to me :)
I miss my little manual Jetta... but a stick shift is so not mom friendly... how would you possibly pass things to the backseat if you were shifting all the time???
*HAHAHA* I can so relate to the public speaking thing, April!
And Heart ROCKS! I would love to be in band as a guitar player, but I have a feeling stage fright would get the best of me!
80's music is definitely the best! I enjoyed learning more about you!
Ah, earthquakes that are small happen all the time here in California. You totally get used to them. You go "is that an earthquake? Hmm, dunno. Check USGS. Yep 3.5, no biggie." and go back to whatever you were doing. Big ones are so few and far between that no one fears the day to day ones. It is cool to go to a place nearby and stand with one foot on the pacific plate and one on the North American plate. And there is s fence there that moves many inches a year in opposite directions. Now it is many meters apart.
