Fun Meme!




·       Thanks for this fun Meme Erica, Ronnie, Sunny and Abby!



    What is my favorite kind of pie?  Pumpkin for sure, however I remember traditional mincemeat pie my Great Aunt used to make…what a delight that was.


·       Who’s my favorite band/singer? Gosh…too many to list. During the 70s….maybe the Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Peter Frampton…80s….The Smiths, Echo and The Bunnyman, Tears for Fears, Human League, Peter Gabriel, Sting, Rod Stuart,….the 90s…..Shall I continue? Lol. I love groups like Pink Martini, The Cranberries, Pink,  old Rock…Elvis, Classical, Swing….Andrew Sisters, Musicals, Opera….sheesh everything I guess.

·       Favorite Fruit? I love tropical fruit the best.

·       Favorite Sport? Seriously?? If you knew me you would laugh. If you knew my Scotsman he would lament his wife’s lack of interest in sports. Just to be nice to hubby, I will say ‘Football’ or Soccer for us Yanks.

·       Favorite color?  No way will I answer that one! I am an artist. My mood and creative spirit determines my favorite at any one time!


·       Favorite accessories?  I always wear earrings….I have double piercings in both ears.

·       Do you collect anything?  Shot glasses lately. My daughter must think me a sophisticated drinker. Everywhere she travels she picks up a shot glass as MY souvenir. Prior to that it was probably Santa’s….and any quirky artsy thing I see at a second hand shop. Glass ware.... Junk or not.

·       Do you read?  ALL the time, every free moment of every day.

·       Are you sad about Michael Jackson’s death?  I think any death and a tragic death is sad.


·       Can you apply mascara with your mouth closed? Nope. And I wouldn’t. Mascara is the one item of make-up I am never without. I always felt my eyes were the one thing I wanted to emphasize.


·       Have you ever broken a bone…how many? Not that I can remember. Maybe my pinkie toe on the metal of a pull out couch! Middle of the night -crying infant with an ear infection….


·      Do you text people often? All the time. You know kids never answer the phone, but text them and…..miracle of miracles…you get a response!

·       Have you ever gone to a concert?  Yes….My first was Chicago.

·       Are you a runner? In my 20s and early 30s, I used to run three miles, five days a week. However I skipped when I used the stair master or treadmill etc.....

          Would you ever get a tattoo?  Nah too chicken…..
 
·       What is the song that describes your life most? To answer this I need to look up the lyrics……


·       Have you ever been heartbroken? Yes. However, when I met my Scotsman I realized the difference in-- love… and loving, vs sharing a love of one another!


·       What do you wish to accomplish before you die?My family to always be healthy and happy.  I would also love to do something more with my artwork. I dream of making that a daily endeavor.

·       Are you afraid of death?  Not sure about that answer. I know both my Scotsman and I will be okay, I worry about my kids. So-- to answer that question I want them to be settled more when I die.

·       Are you having a good year?  Some parts are fantastic, some are very sad, others are very stress filled. I hope to focus on the fantastic, but some days…..

·       Do you forget things easily?  It depends. Ask my kids and I am very forgetful….oh wait--- also ask my kids and I have too good a memory. Ask my Scotsman and my memory is PERFECT!


·       Are you overly truthful?  When stating my imperfections. Actually honesty is very important to me. Although I try and be honest without compromising someone’s feelings!

·       Do you like the heat? I much prefer a season that is cool or cold!  In the middle of the night I may have a ‘furnace-like’ feeling, so heat is NOT my friend!


·       Have you ever met a celebrity? Yes, a few.

Thanks, 
Minelle

  1. Love your answers Minelle...You might not have one favorite color but I bet your Scotsman does...red! *snicker*

    You are not overly honest when stating your imperfections...you are overly critical!

    If I get a chance, I just might have to borrow this meme. Thanks for sharing. ;)

    Hugs and Blessings...

  8. This was fun to read, Minelle! :) I love your varied taste in music! Have never seen Chicago but used to listen. My first concert was Jimmy Buffett before he was really famous. Now it is near impossible to get tickets!

    The thing about kids answering texts is sooo true! I can always get a response that way, but they don't always answer the phone. LOL!

    Love your shot glass collection! Rob has one too and it is starting to take up a whole lot of cupboard space. I am the guilty party for getting them for him on my travels. Others have added to it as well. Thanks for sharing. I have to do this one soon. Many hugs,

    <3 Katie

  9. These were fun to read Minelle. Isn't it strange to have a whole conversation in text, lol. After the sixth or seventh I always end up saying just call for goodness sake. I have a daughter that can send two or three to my one. She's exhausting!
