A Stolen Meme

I don't have much to say this evening, so I've stolen this little meme from Sunday Stealing

  1. When was the last time you cried? 
    This afternoon, in the card aisle at Target. 

  2. Were you named after anyone? 
    Anonymama, LadyKay and I all have the same first name. Only Anonymama actually goes by it on a regular basis.

  3. What is your favorite lunchmeat? 
    Deli-sliced honey ham, I suppose. Unless I can somehow count cheese as a lunchmeat.

  4. Do you have kids? 
    One, in my uterus.

  5. If you were another person would you be friends with you?
    I would like to think so, but I am rather annoying.

  6. Do you use sarcasm a lot? 
    Who me? Sarcasm? Never!

  7. Do you still have your tonsils? 
    Yep. I have most of my original parts (missing two wisdom teeth), but some of them (my stomach/intestines) have been rearranged.

  8. Would you bungee jump?
    Not no, but hell no.

  9. What is your favorite cereal? 
    Reese's Puffs
    Sidebar: I had to explain to Shrike today that, when she's going to the grocery store and I ask her to "Get me a box of one of the yummy kind of Cheerios," I'm not referring to multi-grain. Yummy = Sugary. And, while we're definite things, if it ain't chocolate, it ain't candy.
  10. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
    Only if I have it. I generally slip off tennis shoes and my dressier shoes if I can, but I can't get my boots off without untying. 

  11. Do you think you are strong enough to be with me? 
    I believe the question is, are you strong enough to be with me

  12. What is your favorite ice cream? 
    On my, that depends on my mood. Usually something very chocolatey, and possibly with peanut butter. 

  13. What is the first thing you notice about people? 
    I guess I notice the over-all "big picture" first, then start seeing the details later. The first time or two I rarely notice enough details to recognize them on a second seeing. I am awful about that. 

  14. Red or pink? 
    I would've said red a few months ago, but I've become rather partial to pink lately. Especially in tiny sizes.

  15. What is your least favorite thing about yourself? 
    My inability to keep my damn mouth shut. 

  16. Who do you mess with the most? 
    Shrike.

  17. What was the last thing you ate? 
    A leftover barbecue cheddar slider (baby hamburger) from TGI Friday's. But if you ask me again in about fifteen minutes, my answer will be a chocolate-ish peanut butter sundae. That's no-sugar-added vanilla ice cream, with melted peanut butter drizzled over it, and some Carnation Instant Breakfast powder sprinkled on top. Shrike will have it without the CIB.

  18. What are you listening to right now? 
    The tappity-tap-tap of my keyboard.

  19. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? 
    I left a message for a seamstress who is probably going to be recovering the glider cushions for us. The last two-person conversation was a call-back to a guy who called yesterday, looking for an Obama yard sign.

  20. Why aren't you married? 
    Because it's not legal in BlueState. 

  21. Last movie you watched? 
    Do the baby-having videos in our childbirth class count? Before that, I don't remember. Probably something really bad that Shrike rented. Although, it might have been the most recent Pirates of the Caribbean or Elizabeth. She also rented those, but they were actually good. 

  22. What did you dream about last night? 
    Oh crap, I don't remember. I do remember that when I woke up, I was still thinking about it and sorting it out and all, but I can't remember what it was about. 

  23. What book are you reading? 
    Nothing at the moment, but I just finished listening to the audiobook of Stephen Colbert's I Am America (And So Can You!). I highly recommend it, especially if you are a Colbert fan.

  24. Summer or winter? 
    Summer in BlueState, winter back home in Texas.

  25. Hugs or kisses? 
    Chocolate or affection? Either way, I'm a fan of both.

  26. Do you have any special talents? 
    Maybe? 

  27. What are they? 
    I'm pretty good at organizing people and planning things. Organizing myself, not so much.

  28. What did you watch on TV last? 
    TiVo'd episodes of Ellen and Saturday Night Live.

  29. What is your favorite sound? 
    At the moment, Peeper's heartbeat on the Doppler/monitor. 

  30. Rolling Stones or The Beatles? 
    The Beatles

  2. Re Anonymama's answers:
    1 - Ditto. That's who the card was for.
    11 - I have no idea. It was in the list of questions that I stole.
    12 - Not even sugar free? Or is it really "free" enough?
    14 - Exactly

  3. re IC: Even sugar free is a lot of calories as I am not good at 1/4 cup. Much of the sugar free means too much sorbital which really does violence to the GI tract. And PB is basicly essence of calorie. Otherwise healthy for the skinny.

  4. Ah, gotcha. I was just thinking in terms of your diabetes.

  5. My mother has my father hide the peanut butter from her. My sister, on the other hand, hates peanut butter. We have not really figured out what planet she is from.

  6. 1. When did you cry last? I cried when we had a really bad scare about Ellie a few months ago.

    6. Ever use sarcasm. Who me?

    12. Favorite IC? Either bubblegum or peanut butter/chocolate.
    13. First thing I notice about people? Eyes

    18. Listing to? Whozat talk to MamaCat about Peeper

    20. Why aren't you married? It is not legal, but ever since I met Whozat, I felt married to her.
    21. Last movie I saw? According to Netflix history it was Best in Show, and Whozat liked it, so there. She just does not like it when I rent scary movies.
    22.Dream last night? I dreamed I found myself accidently in a job interview for a position I was nowhere qualified for, maybe vice president? :-)
    23. Last book read? I am reading three, "Everything you never wanted your kids to know about sex, but were afraid they'd ask; The Birth Partner; and in the car I just finished listening to Dean Koontz's Phantoms. I prefer Koontz over King. He has a higher opinion about people, he doesn't do unnecessary violence to animals and he lets the good guys win.
    24. Summer or winter? Summer. But I am partial to Spring and Fall because they are both so beautiful and moderate. I could do without Winter.
    25. Hugs or kisses? Either/or depending on my mood

    27. See above
    28. What was the last thing I watched on TV? The Office and some Daily Shows. The one with TIm Robbins was especially good. Finally someone who agrees with me that we want someone elite to be in the White House. Of course you want them to be better than you.
    29. Favorite sound? I like Peeper's heartbeat when we listen. Before her, I prefer the sounds of the woods without the benefit of TV or radio thank you.
    30. Rolling Stones or Beatles? If I must pick between these two, RS
    but I resent having to choose between these as much as I resent people saying ELvis is the king of Rock and Roll. Yeah, by whose standards? If I had to choose a male musical artist, it would be Simon and Garfunkel, but I very seldom listen to men as in real life. :-)
