17. What is the craziest thing you’ve ever done?
In college I drove to S. Padre Island for Spring Break with two girlfriends on the spur of the moment. We were in class and just decided to go that afternoon. We had about $100 between the three of us and couldn’t afford a motel so all our stuff was in the car. On the drive, the windows in my car, a Chevy Chevette, fell down and wouldn’t roll up so one of us had to be in the car at all times. We were known as “the chevette girls” all week.
We ate at the Pizza Inn buffet every day. One of us would go in, pay the $5 for the buffet and fill our purse up with pizza and bread and then bring it back to the car to share. I never did get the pizza stains out of that purse. One of the girls was sick of pizza so she filled her purse with spaghetti and salad (WITH dressing) for us one day. Her purse definitely got the worst of it even though she lined it with a trash bag.
18. Have you ever been on TV?
Yes, my high school choir gave a Christmas concert on a local TV station. I hadn’t eaten all day and the lights were hot so I passed out on live TV. My grandmother was watching with some friends and later she said “One minute you were there and the next minute you were gone!” Yep, on the floor, Gramma.
19. Favorite food?
Key lime pie and something my Mom makes called Upside Down Fettuccine Bake.
20. Favorite quote?
