Yet another meme stolen from mommablogsalot.
- Would you let your children go trick-or-treating at Michael Jackson’s house? Certainly not by themselves! He’d probably have good candy, though, so I’d totally take them.
- Did you eat paste and/or glue as a child? I tasted it, sure. But I don’t think I ate it on a regular basis or anything. Only the weird kids did that.
- Look at the wall to your right, what is on it? Nothing. But there’s a large bookcase, a tall lamp, and a TV so hanging anything on the wall would be kinda superfluous.
- Do you put butter and/or salt on your popcorn? I like my popcorn in extremes—love movie theater popcorn (without the Valvoline, thank you) but also love air-popped popcorn with nothing on it. Debi got me hooked on Kettle Corn a while back and if I do the microwave stuff, nowadays that’s my preference.
- What does your favorite coffee cup look like? We have a large collection of Starbucks City Mugs. Most of the time I just grab whichever one is in front, but occasionally I’ll seek out a specific one. Most have been gifts so we have them from all over the world. When Vic brings me coffee, I always look at the city he hands me and compare it to the city he took for himself—invariably they’re on opposite sides of the world—and accuse him of wanting to be far away from me, etc. It’s super-fun!
What was your favorite Halloween costume? I was Holly Hobbie lots of times. It wasn’t my favorite, but I was never all that proud of my costumes. Mom never really got into Halloween and my kids are totally reaping the benefits from my resentment of that. Probably the best costume I’ve ever seen, though, was on our friend Michael—a few years ago he wore one of those air blown sumo wrestler costumes. Hilarious!- Toilet paper - hard, soft, extra soft? Whatever’s near.
- Have you ever rescued/taken in a stray animal? Casey, our rat terrier, was a stray that Michael and Kristine brought to us. We looked for her owners but didn’t find them, and ended up being pretty glad about that because she’s a sweetie. Millie, our new kitten, was a pound rescue.
- Name three things you want your kids to learn before they grow up (if you don’t have kids, feel free to skip this one or add your own twist to the question). First, I want them to learn that they are free to be the person they are; that they need to follow their hearts and dreams. Second, I’d like them to learn how important it is to be open to other people’s ideas (not sure who they’re going to learn this from; certainly not me). Lastly, I want them to take opportunities to see the world, where they’ll learn things they’d never learn any other way.
Your turn...
Would you let your children go trick-or-treating at Michael Jackson’s house?
ReplyDeleteYes, as long as I was there.
Did you eat paste and/or glue as a child?
Tasted yes, but didn't eat it.
Look at the wall to your right, what is on it?
There's kitchen cabinets, as well as the oven and fridge.
Do you put butter and/or salt on your popcorn?
Both. Especially the stuff they put on at the theaters.

It's a mug that Jen got from Ashland with a bunch of Shakespeare quotes, well insults actually.

One year a bunch of us dressed up as the Village People.
Toilet paper - hard, soft, extra soft?
Whatever's on sale.

Casey is/was a stray. And Millie we got from the Humane Society.
Off topic: We laugh and tell Scout how lucky she is. Pure bred Beagle loved by her parents' owners then by our family.
Name three things you want your kids to learn before they grow up (if you don’t have kids, feel free to skip this one or add your own twist to the question).
1. Self worth or confidence.
2. The value of a good education.
3. Treating others with respect.
4. Taking responsibility for your actions.
OK, I know that's 4, but I couldn't decide which one to delete.

ReplyDeleteNot a chance. He's a Super Freak. And not in a good way.
Did you eat paste and/or glue as a child?
I remember smelling that good stuff from our childhood and I'm sure I tried it but I remember nothing about it. Why does it cause dementia?
Look at the wall to your right, what is on it?
Bookcase in my bedroom and two pictures I just got in NYC.
Do you put butter and/or salt on your popcorn?
I'm not crazy about popcorn but when I eat it I like a little butter and very little salt. Carmel corn is the best! Is that popcorn?
What does your favorite coffee cup look like?
It's one of those big clear heavy ones with a really small stand on it.
What was your favorite Halloween costume?
I'm not crazy about Halloween. I will dress up if forced. I just went to a Humane Society fund-raiser as Joe Montana. I liked that a lot because I wore tennis shoes. (He's a football player Jen & Kathy) :)
Toilet paper - hard, soft, extra soft?
Soft to extra soft.
Have you ever rescued/taken in a stray animal?
We currently have 3 cats. One, a siamese mix named Louie, we adopted from Petco. Two, a tabby named Lucy, my mom found on her property and promptly gave to us. Number 3 is a pampered persian named Leo who has never been lonely a day in his life. :)
Name three things you want your kids to learn before they grow up.
1. Always know they are unconditionally loved no matter where they go or what they do in their lives.
2. Treat people and their opinions and ideas with respect. There's always something to learn from others.
3. Nothing is more important than no less than 19 years of school and traveling the world before you settle down with someone and decide not to get married because it's antiquated and compromising.
And always call (text, e-mail) your mom!
We have a ton of coffee mugs and yet we drink from the same two mugs every morning. Crazy. Those city mugs sound fun though!
