Saturday 9: St. Patrick's Day
1. St. Patrick's Day is March 17th (Thursday). Do you celebrate and wear green? Drink Green Beer? Ignore it? I celebrate my 15% of Irishosity by wearing green.
2. If a leprechaun told you that you could have any amount of money from his pot of gold but it had to be a specified amount for a specified item, how much would you ask for and what would it be for? $80,000, so my niece could go away to the college of her dreams.
3. One of the symbols of St. Patrick's Day is the leprechaun. Name a celebrity that you think would look good as a leprechaun. Name a celebrity that would look ridiculous as a leprechaun. Is there any one celebrity that would make a really scary leprechaun? Mickey Rooney would be an adorable leprechaun. John Mayer would be a ridiculous leprechaun. Mel Gibson is a really scary whatever-the-fuck-he-is.
4. For a prize of $1,000,000,000 you are challenged to make yourself a costume for a St. Patrick's Day party. The ONLY rules are that you aren't allow to use clothing and it has to be green. Using anything other than clothing, describe your costume to us using ANYTHING else in the house. I would wear my green afghan as my magic cloak and declare myself QUEEN of the leprechauns. Award me the prize money or risk my wrath.
5. What day of the week is your busiest? Tell us about your schedule. Wednesday. We have our staff meeting at 11:00. It's really the worst possible time in that it cuts the busiest part of my day in two.
6. No matter what's going on in your life, what always makes you smile? I always respond to this song. I guess it's written in the key that my soul is singing.
7. Of all the clothes you own, what do you feel most comfortable wearing, and why? Jeans and a t-shirt
8. On what television show—either past or present—would you like to make to make a guest appearance, and what role would you play? NCIS. I want Gibbs to protect me from harm. Even if it means covering my body with his own. And staying there for hours. Maybe even all night.
9. What else is on your mind? Go ahead and rant. My oldest friend's life is spinning out of control. Like she's caught in a downward spiral. I keep reaching out to her but I can't seem to pull her out of this cycle.
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.
Charlie Sheen makes Mel look (almost) good ironically.

What is it with Mark Harmon? Kathy got me into NCIS. I had never seen it...
ReplyDeleteAll hail Queen of the Leprechauns! That answer made me chuckle. As did the being saved by Gibbs answer.
ReplyDeleteBravo!
LOVE your afghan idea! You are indeed blogosphere royalty! NCIS rules. Hey...Earth Wind & Fire are one of my favorite bands and this song is one of my alltime greatest dance tunes. Nice to wish for your niece's college fund...very unselfish of you. : ) Have a great weekend Gal!
ReplyDeleteTo answer your question, it was Gertrude and Heathcliff - the two seagulls on Red Skelton. Thank you for stopping by. Jim
