Well, it is not actually the last memory
test considering the fact that I will offer a similar test in the
future. Yes, I do know how to repeat posts. This should not surprise
you. So,
let us call it a memory test on a list of last items.
Tell us these last things:
- When is the last time you went to the theatre?
- When is the last time you were caught with your hand in the cookie jar?
- When is the last time you complimented a stranger?
- When is the last time you wished you had more ironing to do?
- When is the last time you spoke in your outside voice?
- When is the last time that someone made you blush?
Well, go on, answer now, you do not wish to be the last person on the last things memory test. Do you?
1. It was a year ago to see Pricilla Queen of the Dessert
2. I don't get caught - thats the trick
3. This morning at school to one of the new mothers - for not crying.
4. What is ironing?
5. When one is partially deaf, I always speak in outside voice - LOUD
6. Last week when I was told my buttons on my work shirt were undone and said my bra was pretty.
Phewwww I will not be last.

1. I saw The Drowsy Chaperone in NYC in Feb. 2007.
2. I don't get caught either....LOL
3. Tonight, at a florist's meeting.
4. Probably when I was 3 and pretending.
5. I always do that!! (much to mr. kenju's chagrin)
6. I don't blush easily, but it was sometime last year.
No, not at all, and I don't mind being second because we try harder!

1. About a month ago, with my Tumorless Sister. We had a blast.
2. Since I am the one who fills the cookie jar, my hand is frequently in there.
3. Today. I told a woman that her tiny children had beautiful public manners.
4. What a sense of humor you have, dear Michele! Ironing! Moi?
5. Today in class. I had to compete with the thunderstorm.
6. Probably one of the many times I went to school with a fabric softener sheet hanging out of my pants.
I do not wish to be last. It would not be good for my fragile self esteem.

1. I saw a movie in mid-February
2. I can't remember ever being caught in the cookie jar, but those sneaky, crackling wrappers on the candy give me away all the time!
3. Sometime in the last week someone had on a very pretty jacket and I told her so.
4. ha! ha-ha-ha-ha. OMG, I almost fell off the chair! hee-hee, you are a funny woman!
5. Monday night when trying to make announcements at the end of the choir rehearsal.
6. Now that would be telling!
I wouldn't mind being last, as long as I made a big entrance!

1. If you are talking movies...then it was just a few weeks ago to see 27 Dresses...if you're talking actual THEATRE where they act and everything, well, I guess my "attendance" was in December. I quote that because I was actually IN the show.

1. Since I'm a theatre critic, I go all the time, sometimes 3 times a week, but the last time I did a show was about 2 weeks ago ("25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee")

1. Movie theater: Sweeney Todd, sometime in February- or was that late January?
2. Earlier today when I was raiding the Easter Bunny's stash of candy beneath my bed & my 11 year old came into my room & caught me with my hand in the bag of jelly beans.
3. A few weeks ago at work, the lady in question had such gorgeous curls in her hair.
4. When I was about 16 or 17 I loved to iron, so back then I guess.
5. Earlier today when exhorting my children to clean their rooms at once.
6. A few weeks ago, something written to me by a friend had my cheeks quite pink!

1. End of January, to see the Little Mermaid.
2. Never! I don't know anyone who even has a cookie jar.
3. On Sunday in a dressing room.
4. Again, I'd say that's never happened. Wash-and-wear whenever possible.
5. Happens all the time, even without my noticing. Much to my chagrin. Consciously? Probably the last time I gave a conference presentation, so a couple of weeks ago.
6. Probably yesterday. Definitely this week.

1. The children were kids and Ninja Turtles were teenagers..uhm.. they still are, huh?
2. Cookie jar? I have no idea what is in that thing.. cookies never make it out of the bag they come in.
3. I don't pay attention to know.. I just do.
4. Ironing? Ironing...what? Hair? Dried leaf projects?
5. My husband says I do all the time.. voice gets louder as I age apparently. I think about the same degree as the hearing goes??
6. A few months ago.
Posted by: Sol | March 19, 2008 at 10:34 PM
1. A week ago. Joan Rivers' stage-play. :)
2. About half an hour ago.
3. Today. At Jamba Juice.
4. The 12th of Never.
5. I always project from the diaphram. Hush hush now, voices carry.
6. July of last year, possibly. I forced my friend to waltz with me in a retail store for her birthday.

1. last time on a long haul flight
2. never, not me, big girl did and ran away
3. well, I tried yesterday when someone came out of the fitting room in a dress that really suited her. it was silent, though - does that count?
4. never do it - that's HIS job!
5. no idea - I'm very quiet and soft spoken
6. probably when someone paid me a compliment - now, when was that?
Posted by: belle | March 21, 2008 at 02:27 PM
1 - Thursday, watched Vantage Point. Great idea, didn't really work.
2 - Cookies don't last long enough here to be in a jar ... I would like the Cookie Pocket Dragons though.
3 - Tuesday in car park.
4 - Ermmm - what's ironing ? :-)
5 - It's been a while, last game of cricket where I'd be spreading encouragement around. Missed last season, so 2 years ago now. (It doesn't get used unless I need it)
6 - A month ago, when boss's secretary was trying to get me to ask someone out, little realising I had my sights set on someone else ;-)
