Ella's Winter Meme!

Thank You Ella for this Meme!


1.  You have to leave your house because of a disaster.  All the people and pets you love are safe.  If you could choose just one item to carry out, what would it be?

I guess this question made me think to prepare! First I need to scan every picture I have in my house! I would already have my phone on my person.....so if I scanned all my pics to my laptop.....Id grab that! Ugh but now I am thinking about my own art......!!!


2.  Tell us about a book or series of books you loved as a child.

I devoured mysteries and romance! I remember a series called the Happy Hollisters! I loved Nancy Drew and later The Borrowers....at about 14, I was into Harliquin Romance books!



3.  Name one item of clothing that you love for your spouse to wear.

 Hmmm......I love when my Scotsman wears his soccer (Football) teams shirts. His favorite colors representing his team make him happy and I love seeing him that way!


4.  Is there a lullaby your mom or dad sang to you that you also sang to your child?

 My parents sang all the time. I can't remember one lullaby. Mom used to sing 'School Days' on long car trips. Dad sang a few children's songs as he got ready in the morning....intensionally to wake us up! However, I have fond memories of Sundays after Church when my parents would play musicals and opera on our record player!


5.  Tell about the fanciest restaurant at which you have ever dined.

 I can't remember the name....and I am sure I have never eaten at a restaurant that was super expensive.....However white table clothed, middle of the road classy.......There are MANY.
But, the Gulf Coast on our Honeymoon-- a Seafood restaurant is my choice!


6.  Tell us about any phobias you have. What else are you scared of?

I am terrified of spiders! TERRIFIED! I actually jumped out of a slow moving car on a hill to get away from a spider! I also traumatized my niece to kill a spider that was crawling on my seat as I was driving.....Hmmmm... then there was the time I stripped thinking a spider was on me....DID I TELL YOU I AM TERRIFIED?


7.  Is there something old from a family member that you treasure?

The things I cherish are gifts given from the heart of another. However I do have a couple of antique pieces from my parents. One is a beautiful painted bowl my dads mother kept her jewelry in, another is a small china cabinet in my basement my moms dad refinished.


8.  If there is reading material in your bathroom, what magazines or books could be found? 

 TONS of magazines! Smithsonian or health type magazines!


9.  Tell us about your dearest childhood friend. Besides the typical out door stuff?

My Cousin and my sisters are truly my best friends from my childhood! We all shared secrets, played dress-up, long board games and traveled with each other! Each of these special woman are those I would trust with my life.  Not sure I would share COMPLETELY about the spanking stuff. However some know the crazier or wilder side and others see the mature big sister!


10.  Is there a household task that belongs to your husband? 

He usually washes dishes and does quite a bit of laundry. I HATE those chores. I do other things he doesn't enjoy lest you think I am terrible. OH and I HATE getting gas in the car! ( lots of bellowing and maybe a few smacks related to that last one.... depending on his tolerance level.)


11.  Have you ever smoked pot?  How old were you the first time?  Do you still enjoy?

Yes, I was in college. I preferred alcohol. However I didn't like how everyone had the munchies from pot. Back then I was just as crazy about dieting...even if it didn't work! The real reason I didn't continue is that I figured It would be something I would enjoy too much if I continued.


12.  If it is cold, what do you wear to bed?

My man's t-shirts and Jammy pants or leggings. Most of the time these days I boil, so its just a t-shirt and panties.


13.  How old were you when you lost your virginity?  Share any story with which you are comfortable.

 Let me just say that when I met my husband I was in my late 20s. (I was not really  sheltered)...... We did many things....ahem.....but I truly lost my virginity on my wedding night!
What a good man to let me have that.....I still can't believe how he cared enough to wait for the complete event.


14.  Think of something you did as a kid about which you were glad your parents never found out.  If you were a perfect child, you may just respond with "Perfect", but the rest of us will hate you for it.

I am sure there are too many to count! I actually was a pleaser even as a kid, but I was a high strung child too. Oh--- the dichotomy made for some crazy stuff. Goody two shoes and mischievous!  There was a time in my teens when I imbibed so much that.....Lets just say I was carried into my house.....after I passed out on a street. My friends were with me and I was taken care of. However, my MOTHER was there for the carry into the house!


15.  Boob Question - 
Think Goldilocks and the 3 Bears.  

Do you think your boobs are: 
a.)  Too big
b.)  Too small
c.)  Just right
d.)  "All of the above" is not a valid answer


Hmmmm...... I am satisfied and my Scotsman loves my boobs! If I could add one caveat it would be to lift them a bit! Being a woman that is in the DD category, pulling them up would be nice!


Thanks for Reading!
