No really... Who Am I?

Tag!   I'm it!  The lovely Ms. Dina Marie of  A Plucky Procrastinator (she is double boiled chocolate awesome-sauce and you should really check her out) tagged me on the book the other day and I was all like... well... I'm not sure WHO I am.  Maybe these questions will help?  We'll see......


1.  WHERE WERE YOU BORN?  B.F.E. KY... not the lube, fools.


2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER SOMEONE?  It's an old family name from the mother country so totally applicable today.  Way to go Dad.

3. IF YOU HAVE CHILDREN, HOW MANY DO YOU HAVE? 2... I think.  They just won't stop moving long enough to count and they make enough mess for at least a baker's dozen worth of folks....

4. HOW MANY PETS DO YOU HAVE?  2 dogs... not kids right?  Because they both smell a little....

5. YOUR WORST INJURY?  It really is too early in the day to talk about my perineum so... I have a giant scar on my back from a teething toddler classmate.  It has grown as I have grown and now is just waiting for it's inevitable surgical removal.  Maybe I can have a two-fer... my scar and Fred, my golf ball-sized uterine cyst?

6. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?  I can work my children's bowel movements into any conversation.  I'm magic like that.

7. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING TO BAKE?  Kielbasa and potatoes....

8. FAVORITE FAST FOOD?  Burger King Whopper w/ Cheeze!

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?  There are sooooo many other good ways to die......

10. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?   Assholes... not the actual ones... just if they are one or not.

11. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?  My son whines and cries enough for all of us.....

12. ANY CURRENT WORRIES?  Bail or college fund?

13. NAME 3 DRINKS YOU DRINK REGULARLY.  Coffee with cream (no sugar), unsweet tea, and more unsweet tea.  I despise sugar in my libations and cannot abide plain water.

14. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE BOOK?  LOTR... and if you don't know, I can't help you.

15. WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE A PIRATE?  Hmmmmm... trapped on a boat for weeks at a time with a bunch of hygiene challenged men who are absolutely riddled with syphilis....  I'm going to say no.

16. FAVORITE SMELLS?  Newborn hair, freshly turned earth, and lemon Lysol.

17. WHY DO YOU BLOG?  So no one dies.  It's a catharsis of sorts....

18. WHAT SONG DO YOU WANT PLAYED AT YOUR FUNERAL?  I will not be put in the ground.  Instead, I would like to be burned on a pyre after all my useful parts have been donated so, I guess no music.  Afterwards I want all my loved ones to have a huge party with tons of good food and effective drinks and for them to tell scathing and titillating lies about me....

19. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?  That I have no least favorite things.  Things are or they aren't.  Self-deprecating humor is not always truth.  It's an equalizer. (Okay... THAT sounded way more uppity than I intended.  What I meant was, I don't have the time nor the inclination to hate all the wiggly streched out bits on myself.  My children love me whole and my husband loves me absolutely .. why should they be wrong?)

20. FAVORITE HOBBY?  I get to have hobbies?  But I have kids....

21. WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A FRIEND?  A nice ass.  That goes for you too, ladies.

22. NAME SOMETHING YOU'VE DONE THAT YOU NEVER THOUGHT YOU'D DO.  Work for the man... and like it.  :)

23. FAVORITE FUN THINGS TO DO?  Sleep, nap, and relax.  In that order.  They are in such short supply these days....

24. ANY PET PEEVES?  Doomsday Preppers.  The actual folks, not the show.  That's just silly.  If there really is a zombie apocalypse, a world wide power outage, or a nuclear disaster do you really think a hole in the ground and 80 cases of Tofu Jambalaya and canned green beans are going to save you?  Really?

25. WHAT'S THE LAST THING THAT MADE YOU LAUGH?  My Hubbs at lunch.  He said some funny things about spicy, moist chicken balls....

  1. Thank you for including me, I LOVE when people invite me to join in the fun. A few weeks ago when this first started, another friend tagged me and I wrote a post that was, well, sort of my unorthodox (meaning I changed it, A LOT) version of this. Hope you enjoy it: http://www.bakinginatornado.com/2013/02/there-was-fb-before-i-joined.html

  11. You have a giant bite scar from a teething toddler? Crap. That's some bite. I wouldn't want to be a pirate either. All that scurvy and crap - no thanks.

  12. I'm glad to know I am not the only one who can work my daughter's bowel movements into every day conversation. We should probably have a support group.
