Who was your FIRST prom date? The FIRST real prom I went to was with my boyfriend, Eric, who was a senior when I was a sophmore.  He was an exchange student from Belgium.

Who was your FIRST love and do you still talk with him/her? My first heartachingly true love FIRST love was David Adams. He was gorgeous; tall, dark, and handsome. I thought I'd won some universal blue ribbon when he asked me to be his girlfriend.  I became very close to his family as well.  His sister and I became best friends, and are still very close even now.  He and I don't talk but we keep up with one another through her: I still think he is gorgeous, he tells his sister he still thinks I'm beautiful. She's convinced we still belong together.

3.       What was your FIRST alcoholic drink? My grandpa would let me sneak sips from his beer - cheap ass, nasty $2 a case Falls City beer which would account for why to this day I can not stand the taste or smell of any beer. 

4.    What was your FIRST job? Sadly, my FIRST paying job was unlacing and then pulling off my grandpa's Army boots when he came home.  A dime a boot.  Yup, that was the going rate.  I graduated to cleaning out his pipe; promotion to a quarter.

8.       Who was your FIRST grade teacher? Mrs. Green.  She had a beehive hairdo and wore dresses everyday.  We listened to the recorded version of Old Yeller during rest time and it made me cry every time.  She was also my Second grade teacher.

9.       When and where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane? The summer before I went into sixth grade. I flew from Nashville, TN to Portland, OR.  I remember getting a set of those little pin on wings they used to give kids - I thought I was the coolest kid ever. And my sister and I got our lunch in a pencil box that we used to keep our special stuff in for a long time afterwards.

10.   Who was your FIRST best friend & do you still talk? Diana Earthmann. I have no idea what happened to her.  We were friends in Kindergarten and First grade.  She was black and at the time, in rural TN, that was a big deal.  I remember asking my mother why Diana was black.  My mother just looked at me and said,"why are you white?" That was the only explanation I ever needed.  My Granny knit us matching stocking caps for Christmas.

12.   Who was the FIRST person you talked to today? My husband.  I told him to let me keep sleeping, I didn't want to get up.

13.   Whose wedding were you in the FIRST time? Hmmm that's a toughie....what's "in"? I've sung at lots of weddings - does that mean "in"?  Otherwise, the FIRST I was a bridesmaid in was my friend Wendy's wedding.  Let's not discuss the dress - ohhhhh let's not...scary :shudder!:

19.   FIRST movie you remember seeing in the theater? Bambi. I don't think I was as traumatized by Bambi's mother being killed as I was by the idea presented by Thumper of not saying nuthin at all if I couldn't say something nice....that's sooooo wrong!!! 

20.   FIRST Detention you had? I didn't get detention. I got paddles for talking too much in grade school.  Oh, and once for writing a note to a girl that was a grade higher than me and telling her she had a fat ass.  Ummm yeah, Karma got me on that one...look who has the fat ass now!
