If you've ever played Scattergories, you know how to do this. If not... You have a list of topics and you have to come up with a word using the letter given [usually by rolling a 26 sided letter die]. I got this one in an email from a friend so... Using the first letter of your name, come up with words for each category. Personally, I don't care if you use your screen name or real name or whatever . 1. What is your name? Carol 2. A 4 letter word: Coke 3. A vehicle: Corvette 4. A city : Cape Jirardeau 5. A boy's name: Carl 6. A girl's name: Cat 7. Beverage: Cola 8. An occupation: Candy Cane maker 9. Something you wear: Coat 10. A celebrity: Chevy Chase 11. A food: Chicken 12. Something found in a bathroom: Curling iron 13. Reason for being late: constant kiddo catastrophes 14. Something you shout: Car! 15. An animal: Cougar 16. A body part: Clavicle 17. Word to describe yourself: Creative Next? Carol

Steph - it's nice to know I'm not alone with the uncreative parents. I have three siblings, and all four of us have the same initials for our first and middle names (and of course, last name too, until I get married and thwart my parents' evil plan, HA!)
Anyway, down to business here...
1. What is your name? Rona
2. A 4 letter word: Riot
3. A vehicle: Racecar
4. A city: Raleigh
5. A boy's name: Ryan
6. A girl's name: Ramona

9. Something you wear: Raincoat
10. A celebrity: Reese Witherspoon
11. A food: Risotto
12. Something found in a bathroom: Razor
13. Reason for being late: Rain (Trust me, if you lived in SC, you’d understand the validity of this).
14. Something you shout: Really!?
15. An animal: Rhinoceros
16. A body part: Retina
17. Word to describe yourself: Restless
I think my brain short-circuited about halfway through this. I seriously stood in my bathroom for five minutes before I wailed, “Nothing in here starts with an R!” And then I spotted my razor. Heh.

@ Steph: I take it your parents are very fond of the letter "S" - no wonder you turned out to be a Superman fan Steph - it's nice to know I'm not alone with the uncreative parents. I have three siblings, and all four of us have the same initials for our first and middle names Ha! Then there's all our pets! Seriously, growing up I think at one point we had about 12 pets (of course 5 of them were gerbils but still) and they were all 'S's. It's horrible when your parents are calling you and make a mix of yours and the dog's name. I will also answer to my name mixed with my brother's/sister's names (Stevenie, Stayphanie). But my last name, I actually miss. I went from Johnson (so wonderfully simple) to Pfenninger. It's been a challenge having to tell people how to spell it when before there were no questions asked.
