Not a real important post



Leah tagged me over at The Weather in the Streets with this meme: Mention six things of no real importance about yourself. I'll give it a shot and see what happens...

1. I've traveled through 43 of the 50 U.S. states
2. I've played golf in 25 of the 50 U.S. states
3. I only write with blue ink pens
4. Traumatized by my high school uniform, I won't wear brown slacks
5. I am right handed but eat predominantly with my left hand
6. My birthday is _____________.

I'm not tagging anyone... but Leah feel free to tell us more about yourself :)

This is neat. Thanks, Bob. Are you ready for 101 Things about You now? No? heh heh.

And 43 states--wow. Are you going to try for the other 7?

Megan said...

Let's go to Hawaii!!

Suzanne said...

Bob, I swear to God, if you don't take Megan up on her offer I'm personally coming to San Jose to take matters into my own hands. I've alerted CNN. With rush hour and various problems, I should be there my 9pm. *Bob madly books flight for 2 to Hawaii.*

Thank you.

1) I know you've been to NY, so expect a visit when I find my country estate!

2) Golf.

3) Are you crazy? There are so many colors in the rainbow.

4) I understand and will let this one pass.

5. Why?

6. April 1st!

Almost logged off forgetting why I arrived. I tagged you. Forgot Leah tagged you. So guess what buddy? Come to my blog to learn the unofficial rules!!!!!

I love you, you know.

Leah... I had trouble coming up with 5 things. It would take me a year to get to 101.

Blottie... I'm all for you sending Megan and I to Hawaii. When can I expect you to email the plane tickets and hotel reservations?

1. You build it and I will come.
2. Yes, golf
3. I will only use blue (not black) at work. If I could draw I'd use different colors. I am so bad I can't even stay inside the lines of a coloring book.
4. It took me a while to wear a yellow button-down shirt too. I haven't gotten over the brown slacks.
5. When I was I kid, I read an article in Golf Digest magazine that said you should try to do things with your less dominant hand to improve your hand/eye coordination and in turn make you a better golfer. Brushing my teeth lefty quickly was a disaster, but eating among other things I still do lefty to this day.
6. I'm a fool... but I wasn't born on April Fool's Day.

Cinco, cinco, cinco de Mayo!!!

That's the last answer to the question you left blank. I'm sure of it. So this year, May 5th is Bob's birthday. My birthday is the day before Bob's.

So Bob's is the next day. Because I'm a year and a DAY older than you, Bob.

It's 9:00pm Blottie... where are you?

Cece said...

You have missed the best state out of all 50. Can you guess which one it is? Your birthday is between May 1st and May 21st. I just don't know which day, but I'm going to guess and say the 4th. I've never played real golf, only putt putt golf and very little of that. Oh and by the way, I think you have visited 44 states, only because you live in a perpetual state of Missouri (Misery). Oh and I use black, not blue at work. we must be polar opposites. Just like my husband and me.

It's after 11 pm. Looks like I missed the boat, or the exit! I'm here taking care of the wee ones and preparing Bijou for his little "Nip-n-Tuck" tomorrow. I often think it's harder on me. You know how I worry. In fact, Leah agreed I could be her Jewish sista!

This comment page is a hoot. Even funnier is I don't have the money to send you and darling Megan to Hawaii because the economic downturn has nearly killed me. However, the fact you'd go gives me hope. Might I suggest taking her on a date with cheap hot dogs and beer? I'll foot the bill if you stay under $10! Honestly, being Irish and all, I don't think she'd go for cheap beer, so shop at the 99 cent store for hot dogs and rolls, grill um up yourself, then splurge on $8 beer. Oh, we can't forget tax...$7 beer.

1. I'm not going to build it, I'm going to find it!!! It might just be a simple little cabin, Then I'll build an inclosed porch all the way around to enjoy the out of doors with out mosquitos! You my dear man, will always be welcome.

2. Golf. Back in about 1976 my sister and I spent the day at my Grams house and my sister found a book (we were in high school in 76), "100 Years In A Sandtrap." It was my uncle's book and he gave it to her (he's a GREAT golfer). She of course read it. She said "Sue, ya gotta read this, it's hilarious." I never did. Wish I had. I often think of the book because I know golfers and would like to understand them. Rob came back from visiting his dad in Florida and told me the story of his dad in a sand trap. Dad hates golf, but plays for his wife, who love golf. Dad was in a sand trap and Rob said "Honey, he must have wacked at that ball 10 times and still couldn't get it out." Rob said he was on his knees laughing his ass off while dad just kept wacking. A few months later Dad gave up golf. Rob asked him why? He replied "Why not?"

3) Well you know blue is the color of authority. Perhaps you should have been a police officer.

Oh, and don't worry about staying inside the lines of a coloring book. Why bother? Life should be fun!

4) I prefer black slacks anyway. Brown would never do it for me. You look better in black by the way! Does anyone wear brown slacks?

Yellow button down. I can see you in that. Have you ever worn a pink button down? I met Rob wearing a pale pink button down Izod. Very preppy and quite lovely on a guy. Surprised me.


5) That "lefty" thing is so funny. I too tried to brush my teeth with my left hand because I understand it helps with coordination. I felt as if I was brushing in slow motion. Had to return to the norm. However, tomorrow I'm going to try and eat with my left hand and see if I get smarter or become more coordinated. I'll let you know.

6) Damn. Am I close? Bob, honestly, why don't you want anyone to know your birth date?

Just so you know, I did try golf. I have a beautiful little Ping putter too. Golf just isn't me, but I still have my putter. Just moved it the other day and realize I gotta get rid of the damn thing. I'd rather play tennis.

I've gotta go to bed. It's almost midnight and I'm exhausted. Hope you had a great day. Thanks for making mine a whole lotta fun.

Happy Friday!

P.S. The 20th?

kylie said...

can you just tell them your birthday?

i'm sick of it

make one up if you must

Merely Me said...

Happy Birthday Bob!

Also (not to be a PITA) you said you would tease us with six things of no importance about yourself. I don't think any of those things are unimportant...especially number six! So there.

Suzanne said...

Kylie,

How rude!!!! (Of course I'm laughing.) Okay, that it for me. Merelyme, you're on your own! Good luck with your mission impossible.

P.S. Kylie must have woken on the wrong side of the rock!

just bob said...

Kyles... I've always been honest so I won't just make up a date. As far as telling the real date, the mystery is the only thing that keeps all of you coming back here everyday.

kylie said...

no bob
WE COME BACK HERE BECAUSE YOU'RE THE BOMB!!
