Sunday Stealing: The Trivia About Me Meme
Opening…
Do you get regular massages? I try to get one every 30 to 60 days. My shoulders get soooooo tight from all the time I spend on the computer, and as I get older, I worry more and more about long-term damage to my shoulder/spine/ribs alignment.
Do you have an answering machine? Voicemail.
What cuss word do you use the most? Fuck. It's vulgar but it doesn't take the Lord's name in vain. Also, it's very flexible. (As in that old story about a sailor describing his unseaworthy ship by saying, "The fucking fucker's fucked.")
Are you underweight or overweight? I'm a tub of guts.
Can you see your veins? Yes. I hope to get the ones on my legs repaired a bit this spring.
Favorite…
Soap? Dove
Fruit? Banana
Kind of red meat? Ribeye steak
Fish? Salmon
Candy bar? It changes. Right now, Snickers
Have You Ever…
Eaten a whole bag of potato chips? Of course.
Eaten lobster? Yum. Yes.
Climbed a mountain? If climbing the half mile to the top of Hot Springs Mountain and then up the Observation Tower counts, then yes.
Been skydiving? No. But I may. Sounds fun.
Been water skiing? No. Sorry, but it doesn't interest me.
Do You…
Wish you could change something about your life? Goodness, yes! So many things.
Like your nose? Yes. It's turned up and cute.
Like salt and vinegar chips? No.
Eat salsa? No. I don't like spicy food.
Own a boat? No. They sound like a lot of work, but I wish I had a friend who had a boat.
What Is…
A small thing that people let slide but that actually has dire consequences? Cell phones while driving
Your most macho trait? My high pain threshold
The longest relationship you’ve ever had? Almost 8 years
Your most embarrassing thoughts? No comment. Too embarrassing.
Your most shameful moment? I said something very cruel to someone because I was angry. I regretted it the moment it came out.
This/That…
Bath/Shower? Shower most mornings. Bath when I shave my legs.
Markers/Crayons? Wow! As a grown-up, I don't get much opportunity to use either anymore.
Pens/Pencils? Pencils. I change my mind a lot.
Jelly/Cream Cheese? Yes, please. I like them both.
Bagel/Toast? Yes, please. I like bagels and cream cheese and toast with jelly.
Finish…
My greatest weakness is… my lack of discipline
I wish I was… pretty.
Three things I wouldn’t do for a million dollars are… (1) Kill a person; (2) Kill a critter -- insects don't count; (3) Drink coffee every day -- I HATE COFFEE!
The oddest thing I’ve ever put in my mouth is… Judging by the looks I got from the vendor, catsup on my hotdog at the ballpark

Credit card you had? A Harris Bank Visa
Loan you got was for? I used a financing plan for a stereo to establish a credit history
Paycheck was for how much? $108.66
Time you had stitches? I had suspicious moles removed from my back when I was still in preschool. I remember the doctor let me bring my unsanitary but very dear plush Lassie dog with me for the procedure.
Time you went to the hospital for something? I fell down the stairs and broke my clavicle when I was about 6.
Lasts…

Last thing you celebrated? Happy New Year!
Last time you were at a sports bar? Infield's, downstairs at Macy's State Street
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
Are you sure.....for a million dollars you wouldn't drink lots of coffee????

Be sure to join us for Monday Meyhem!
I need to have massages more often.
ReplyDeleteI get by without a credit card by using a debit card.
The husband has been skydiving and LOVES it. Me? Never, no how, no way. So, props to you for even contemplating it.
ReplyDelete:-)
I enjoyed reading your answers, but I am stunned that you hate coffee. :) Have a great week!
