Hermione's Meme!!

I have been so busy learning my new job. I hope I can find a way to manage the work and visit you all in blogland. Sometimes I forget to comment, but I am reading whenever I get a chance! Please have patience with me! 

I realized I had intended to post Hermione's recent Meme! Gosh thanks Hermione. I thoroughly enjoyed this one.

I hate giving one answer to some of these questions. However the way I answer is really ‘who I am’ so at least you get a true picture of me! I may have added some 'on topic' stuff...a bit.

Here goes......wooosh!

The phone rings. Who do you want it to be? My kids for sure….a good friend or two…Family….or… Anyone who wants to call me. I love to talk, unless I am taking a nap!

When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart? Yes, even if I hate that rule when the thingy…is far from my car, it's raining or cold and I didn't dress properly! I may run to the corral….stand a bit away and aim for the cart to sail home perfectly.

In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener? Ummmm…. I hope I talk and listen. Conversation, which is what I hope, happens.

Do you take compliments well? Not always. I do try however. I am especially hard on myself so…..I may deflect. (In front of the younger element I always do) If it is my art I do take the compliment…if it is about my looks….maybe not.

Are you an active person? Sometimes, It varies. I try and exercise…but life may interfere. Then again….. if I am in superwoman mode….yes. If I am in wiped out couch potato mode…not so much.

If abandoned alone in the wilderness, do you survive? Ha ha….Probably not. I am terrified of spiders, so if I imagine them on the ground sleeping with me….ellllgllllaaakkkkkkkkk!!!!!

Did you ever go to camp as a kid? Nah…We were too large a family and had no money for that. We played outside every chance we got. However don’t feel bad, I had the nicest summers. We made go carts, forts, drop in baseball games, rode bikes, skated, climbed trees, played dress-up, barbies. Hours were spent making up shows and creating yard carnivals. Frankly I had a wonderful time without camp.

What was your favorite game as a kid? SPUD, (with a spanking machine) Snake in the grass, and catch one catch all.

A sexy person is pursuing you, but you know that he/she is married, would you? No….It did happen and I said no. That is one heck of a story….one day maybe I will share. 

Are you judgmental? I hope not.

Do you like to pursue or be pursued? Pursued. Absolutely.

Use three words to describe yourself. Loving, caring,  artistic , happy…emotional….intelligent…Not ever going to be able to follow that rule.

If you had to choose, would you rather be deaf or blind? Deaf. I am an artist, being blind would be difficult. But if it happened…I would have to figure it out.

Are you continuing your education? Always, it never stops. I actually love going to school. However the malarkey makes me nuts. The nonsense gets to me. I tend to be a bit more honest the older I get. For example theory versus practice…Give me a break….But I can play the game.

Do you know how to shoot a gun? Nope I never have.

How often do you read books? Every single day of my life. There is reading material in every room in my house. Although when I am busy I begin several books and tend not to finish anything for a long-long time!! Oh and Spanking stuff hmmmm.....read daily too.

Do you think more about the past, present or future?  All of them. I believe they are each very important to our lives. Remembering the past makes us understand our present and can help or hinder our present or future. In fantasy or reading, I love romanticizing the past…present and future.

What is your favorite children's book? The Borrowers, The Happy Hollisters, Little Women, The Hobbit. That is a hard question….!

Where is your ideal house located? Where my family is.

Boxers, briefs, thongs, panties or grannies? Probably the cute boy shorts. My Scotsman loves those too!

Last person you talked to? My Scotsman.

Have you ever taken pictures in a photo booth? Yes, In the past. It was so much fun!

What are your keys on your keychain for? House and car. However I should have more keys. In this house Keys are often lost. NOT BY ME usually!

Where was the furthest place you traveled today? Less than a mile to my parent’s house.

Where is your current pain? My back, my feet, hands, shoulder…legs…hmmmm…. the weather has a lot to answer for! Hey my butt is not sore! Is that good or bad??? My Scotsman has to answer to that-- because it probably should be. “TRUE” he said!

Do you like mustard? Sure! My Mother in law loves to say I will eat anything!

Do you prefer to sleep or eat? Gosh my fat figure can attest to the fact that I love food….Darn that little need!

How long does it take you in the shower? As long as I want! Sheesh! If I want to stay in longer I do!

What movie do you want to see right now? The Hobbit. The second one.

What did you do for New Year's? Unfortunately…Nothing since hubby was supposed to make it home in time for us to party with family…but he worked….We usually go somewhere.

What was the cause of your last accident? Moving  furniture…LOL. This is now a rule…NO MOVING FURNITURE…...

No I didn’t recently move furniture to those of you ready to yell!! Not that I haven’t been tempted. Grrrrrrrrr!!!!! I hate that rule! That is one rule breaking that may cause an automatic quick response of the NOT FUN TYPE OF....you know what! My Scotsman just said...."TBB" (Too Bloody bad.) He has no sympathy for my desire to be independent here. Hmmmmm.....

I do keep trying to get him to alter that rule. Shhhhhhhhhh!

Well there you have it! Now someone come up with another one please!!
