hillarygayle1. Do you suffer from Spring Fever?
I certainly have in the past. I'm pretty excited for spring this year. Unlike past years, I don't have any particular REASON to be so excited; I just am. In 2009, for example, we had the worst ice storm this area has seen in YEARS and we lived in a trailer in the country. We had to have our house hooked up to a gas powered generator to have any power at all for 3 weeks. I was also in the middle of the accelerated nursing program. That year you better believe I was excited for spring!
2. Have you ever been twitterpated (infatuated or obsessed. In a state of nervous excitement)?
I've definitely been twitterpated, and it was actually during the spring!
3. What does Spring taste like to you?
My immediate reaction to this is that it tastes like raspberry sherbet.
4. When was the last time you visited an ice cream truck?
I want to say it was a couple of years ago during the 4th of July festivities in Frisco, TX. Everyone hangs out in all the business parking lots near the downtown area to wait for the evening fireworks show (which is a very good one) and some enterprising ice cream truckers roll around from parking lot to parking lot, doing fine business.
5. Do you know what song your ice cream truck plays?
We don't have one in our neighborhood. Having listened to a podcast not long ago about the incredibly racist origins of the classic ice cream truck tune I knew as "Turkey in the Straw," I should hope it wouldn't be that one if we DID have an ice cream truck.
