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

Love your answers Minelle...You might not have one favorite color but I bet your Scotsman does...red! *snicker*
ReplyDeleteYou 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...
Cat
Cat you must know my Scotsman!
DeleteI am overly honestly critical!
You should do this...its fun.
We always remember our first concert don't we..and Chicago what a great one! Loved learning more about you..thanks.
ReplyDeletehugs abby
I can still remember that concert, the excitement was palpable!
DeleteThanks!
Good answers. Mine is going up tomorrow and one of our answers is surprisingly close.
ReplyDeleteI had a feeling I knew the answer you meant! I was correct!!

I love music. I used to think I needed to identify with one type of music.....now I just enjoy!
DeleteThanks!

ReplyDeleteHow cool! Does he like real whipped cream on top?
Deletethanks for sharing...love your answers...love what you said about love...feeling about death are the same...and colors :-) Hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Terps! I could certainly imagine you would feel the same!
DeleteHi Minelle, I swear you all like Pumpkins over on your side of the pond. ! yuk, give me a mince pie any day
ReplyDeletelove Jan,xx
Hi Jan! I like mince meat too! I do love pumpkin though!
DeleteThis 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!
ReplyDeleteThe 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
Rob has the shot glass collection? I bet he has more than I have if it fills the cupboard. I think that is fun!
DeleteYea the texting thing....!
Thanks!
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!
ReplyDeleteYour daughter must be around the same age as ours. I eventually text CALL ME!! LOL
DeleteFun to read your answers Minelle. I have a recipe for mincemeat for JZ's Great On Line Cookie Exchange next week.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Ronnie

Oh great! I can't wait! I am definitely going to make it!
DeleteThanks Ronnie!
Golly, double piercings! My, my! You're an adventurous little sprig!
ReplyDeleteLoved your meme - might copy it one day soon.
