The 'Liebster' Second Time Around! And Some Kissing Explanation


Hey there Emi and Lillie!!!  I followed the rules once so I may adapt this post for my own fun…..

First of all I have to tell the story surrounding my kiss in Paris.  I have to say I saw plenty of men I wanted to kiss in Paris.

 Especially, the lovely older gentleman who directed us to find a delicious bottle of wine for our picnic lunch of bread and cheese.

 Can I say charming?

However my companions and I were riding the Metro, navigating all around the city. We were so excited to be backpacking our way independent of any tour.

I felt a prickling sensation upon my neck, and looked up. A gentleman was looking intently at me from around three feet in a distance. I turned away feeling uncomfortable.

When next I looked up he was about a foot and a half away staring right at me again……

I raised my eyes to my friends indicating the man. They were confused but looked. Both tried to act as if we were all intently engaged in conversation. However as the time approached for us to make sure we knew our stop….

 I looked up, and turned in the direction of the gentleman.  He quickly took the opportunity to latch on to my lips and me as well.

Well having two strong women along with me, we were able to pry his lips away, and jump off at the next Metro stop.

It was all harmless and we laughed good naturedly about the experience.

Unfortunately I must have a neon sign that points at me and says,’ take her!’ She is quirky.


So here is another few ( No I am not doing 11) random facts about me!

At one time I lived above a drug dealer. Horrible! Scarey stuff happened.

I once had a strange man try and pick me up by my ankles on the dance floor. (neon sign) My friend started banging on his back so I could regain my balance... and feet!!

Here are Lillie’s questions:

1.  What is the best dish you make? A sweet and sour chicken, that isn’t really sweet, and homemade bread. Oh… and great stuffed pizza.

2.  Who is your favorite author? I have too many to name.

3.  Book you are reading? Besides romance and spanking romance…… I cannot remember the name but it is about the brain.

4.  Favorite section of the zoo? Elephants

5.  Favorite board game? I spent many a childhood day playing Monopoly

6.  Place in the world you most wish to visit? Anywhere I haven’t been. However I would love to do a train trip.

7.  Cause you feel strongest about? That is so hard, but caring for those with special needs and healthcare.

8.  Person you would most want to take to a deserted island? Cannot do one person, my husband and kids are a given.

9.  Skill you possess? Painting and drawing.

10.  Favorite outdoor activity? Biking.

11.  Something you refuse to eat? Haggis.


Here are Emi’s questions:

1. What is your favorite genre of music? I answered already and basically…..I’m eclectic; however I do love New Wave.

2. Do you like Horror movies? Why or why not? Yes because I was the biggest scardey cat as a kid. I forced myself to face my fear and love being scared.

3. How old were you when you had your "first kiss?" first grade.

 4. Do you prefer sweet snacks or salty? Salty.

5. What was your most memorable vacation ever? (where and why) I cannot just say one either.  My honeymoon, backpacking Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales and Paris. New Orleans, South Dakota and Crazy Horse. Gosh they were all memorable for one reason or another.

6. Have you even performed on stage for any reason? Yes I have been in some musicals and plays.

7. Have you ever won a contest? Yes art, and as a child costume contests. Oh and recently Spank and Treat.

8. Did you love or hate your high school years? They were fun.

9. Spanko or spankNO? Well since we do not do major punishment I would say spanko. Although I am finding…. some of the play ones, HURT. (I think he’s making his irritation known, which he has always done.lol)

10. Do you read spanking fiction? Uh… YES!

11. What is the weirdest implement you've been spanked with? ("H" whacked me once with a red licorice vine! Ouch!) Never anything weird.

I nominate anyone who hasn’t been nominated.

Thanks guys....My question- or statement to anyone interested, is to tell everyone something no one would ever guess about you!

Thanks for reading,

Minelle

  1. I love that you listed Spank or Treat. Ewwww about the random kiss. The full story is even worse!

    I wish I could try your stuffed pizza...or your homemade bread! Mm.

    There is a great story about a man traveling by train. He picked his favorite seat and then titled his blog/book that. I can't remember the details.

  3. Minelle,
    You've got to get rid of that Neon sign. It's unhealthy.

    That book about the brain? Was it called 'How to improve your memory'?
    A train trip! What's it gonna be? Orient Express? Swiss Alp Trains? Trans Canada?

    1. Yes...unfortunately if you want a laugh....the stories I could tell. lol

      The book is primarily about the adolescent brain! However I can always use ideas on how to improve my memory.

      I almost said like the Orient express. I think the visual that comes to mind, is the posh one in Africa.

  5. Gee Minelle it is a good thing we didn't know each other in our single days- the adventures we would have had, none of our doing of course.

    I too had one of those stupid signs. I even had a stalker, ( not a great one as I was working in the bush out of town at the time and he was stalking my house...but ya know). As for the drug dealer..did he have a female roomate? Not adding anymore to that either.

    What type of art fancies your pleasure? ( psst won one of those awards myself back in the day ). I love or used to sketch and do water colours. Love combining the medium actually.
    As a fun little 'game' this was, it is amazing how different yet similar people are here in blog land.

  6. I teach my students to combine actually. I love mixed media.

    Unfortunately, the drug dealer was below us and my daughter was an infant.....! Awful! He went ballistic, thank God we were not home!

    Maybe the guy who wrote me for two years planning our eventual date...qualifies.

    I was so naive!

    1. Ohhh...stalked too.

      So you are an art teacher? How did I miss that. I had a fantastic relationship with my art teacher! In fact I did until 2 years ago when she moved..hmmm? Maybe she though she had a stalker too! *wink*

      Delete
    2. I probably could have taught you....!

      Wait where do you live? *Wink*

      I absolutely love teaching art, and I am sure your art teacher didn't think you were stalking her. We are a bit of a different breed.

      Delete
    3. Oh I KNOW you are a different breed! Why do you think I stalked her! LOL . She would be much older than you.

      Art class by far was the high light of my high school years! Your students are very lucky to have you.

      Delete
    4. speaking of HIGH...guess I wasn't paying attention in English--Highlight...and yes media...grrr

      Delete
    5. I can say the same, I am lucky to be able to do what I love.

      I am not the spelling or grammar Queen--- just ask anyone!

  7. OMG Minelle - I agree with Bas - hope that neon sign is broken and buried somewhere! Your girlfriends had to pry the random kisser off of you? Sheesh! And the pupose of picking you up by the ankles on the dance floor was...

    Really enjoyed learning more about you! :)

    Blessings,
    Cat
