Saturday 9: Chattanooga Choo-Choo (1941)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) Chattanooga is Tennessee's fourth largest city. Have you ever visited Tennessee? If so, where did you go and what did you see?
Yes. With my pal Stephanie and her eldest son Lucas, and my three then-teenytots, we did a mystery shop at a resort in Gatlinburg. We also visited Pigeon Forge. I have driven through Chattanooga, and there are some cool views there, coming in from the North Carolina side. I wouldn't say it's my favorite state in the Union, but I didn't hate it! ;)
Since Glenn Miller's recording of "Chattanooga Choo-Choo" was awarded the first-ever gold record, we're going to devote the next questions to your firsts.
2) What was the first award or accolade you ever won?
Third grade Class Giggler; my proudest achievement, y'all!
3) We know about your blog. But which was the first social media site that you posted to? (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, MySpace ...)
Pretty sure it was MySpace.
4) Where did you go on your first plane ride?
Probably Newark, New Jersey, from Syracuse, New York, to visit the gran'parents after we moved upstate. That was a flight I made many times.
5) Tell us about your first cell phone.
It was a Nokia candy bar phone, a lot like that one, and I got it in 2003. After we moved back to CONUS from Guam, we decided to drop the landline thing and go exclusively cellular. Never looked back; never regretted that decision!
6) Tell us about your first tattoo: Where is it on your body? Where did you have it done? What does it depict?
No tats for me!
7) How old were you when you had your first piercing?
7) How old were you when you had your first piercing?
I got four piercings in each ear between the ages of 8 and 20 or so. After thinking about it for three long years, at 21, I pierced my nose on the right nostril. They jacked up the piercing, though. Instead of having it repierced, I really want a septum piercing (as does my 12yo daughter, Sophia) and a tragus piercing. Just haven't had the balls time money to get those done yet.
8) What had you been drinking the first time you suffered a hangover?
A shot of Goldschläger - or three - at the age of 17, with my much older buddies from work. That was an every weekend occurrence until I graduated high school, pretty much (with a GPA of like 4.4 btw). I can no longer drink the stuff. Ecccchhhhkkkkkk!
9) Was your first ticket for parking or was it a moving violation?
I think my first ticket was for going over 100 mph on the Howard Frankland Bridge in Florida, going from my home in St. Pete to my grad school classes in Tampa. I was running late, but I was also blasting the tunes and singing at the top of my lungs, completely oblivious to the cruiser trailing me for many miles. That was not a small ticket.
Oops.
