Duh... Your Mom

Today we ripped off a blogger named Another Suburban Mom from the blog Another Suburban Mom. It is 20 questions,  She says she got it from Dana.  But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player's posts. It's a great way to make new friends!

Tastes like chicken!

Saturday 9: Stormy Weather

1) Do noisy storms scare you?

Nooooo - I love 'em.  I remember Hurricane Gloria - my cousin Chris and I went out and drove around for what seemed like forever, playing the song over and over again.  LOL 

2) Mother Winters tells us Lena Horne was considered one of the great beauties of the 1940s. Whom do you consider one of today's most beautiful women?

Well, duh.  ME.  But if not me?  I think that it depends.  Like Tina Fey at the awards show - she looked gorgeous - but Julia Roberts is one of those "classic" beauties.  Aw heck, I don't know.  I look at the guys more.  LOL

SNL.  Tonight.  Be there.  

3) Crazy Sam admits it -- there's a big bag of recycling she really should take out to the bin. Yet she's composing this meme. What should you be doing, instead of answering her questions?

Painting, once I'm done.  I've planned this down time into my day.  LOL 

4) Sam may be crazy, but she's not stupid and will never waste her money on Cialis, no matter how many unsolicited emails she receives! What's the most recent addition to your spam folder?

Something about enlarging my non-existent penis.  I mean, seriously, do they even check who they're sending this shit to?  I'm not gay, so I don't want to know how to pleasure her for hours..  Ew.  

5) What was the last thing you cooked?

Brains....  brains... BRAINS!!.. Nah... just kidding.  chicken.  it was tasty.  Or was it brains that tasted like chicken?  muahahahahahahaaaaaaa

6) Do you remember the lyrics to your either your high school or college fight song? If so, please share a bit.

We didn't have one.  But our graduating class song was "Southern Cross".  Yeah.  If you can figure it out, let me know.

7) "Samantha" is the feminine of "Samuel" and means "Listener." What's the derivation of your first name?

Spawn of the devil?  LOL  Actually, I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure what it's NOT:

Kathleen is a Irish girl name. The meaning of the name is `innocent`.

8) Are you following the NBA or NHL this year? If so, which team are you rooting for?

Neither, really.  But if I watch, it's the Bruins or the local ECHL team here in town.

9) Gloves, umbrellas, sunglasses, keys -- which of these do you misplace most often?

None of em!  Well, my gloves got lost - but I got new ones and I'd had the others for years.  I don't use an umbrella - the rain parts a way for me, sunglasses?  I AM the brightness, and keys?  Hah!  They're in my.. wait.  where the hell are they.. oh now dammit!!

 

  

TMI Tuesday!

OK, so if you know me, you know I'm a single mom.  Of a teenage boy.  Just one.  He's enough.  He makes me laugh my ass off one minute and shake my head the next.  And anyone that knows boys, know they like all kinds of bodily functions.  They like farts, burps, poops (aka dumps) - all that stuff.  And on occasion, we might have a contest.  You know - who can do the stinkiest one, all that.  Tonight, I'm cutting up my lettuce for my salad and I actually lifted my leg and let one rip.  Which, I have discovered, makes 17 year old girls wrinkle their faces in disgust and then they tweet about it.  And single moms of girls, while they might be a BFF, they don't get it either.  So after the aforementioned "rip", I started thinking, I wonder if any of the boy's friends moms do that.  And that made me laugh.  Loudly.  Now mind you - he's upstairs, plugged into his XBox live with headphones - and he hasn't heard any of this.  Which makes me laugh even harder.  Silly boys.  LOL

Oh, and if you need to get some going - eat a Fiber One bar.  Holy moley!

Someone sent me this email today - and really, I think it's the nicest email anyone's ever sent me.  It made me smile.  And she knows about all the shit with my family, and my son, and his father - all that stuff... but read it.  And you can smile too.  :0)

Just let me say one more time… you looked beautiful the other day… not just on the outside, but I could see an “approval rating” in yourself that, frankly, I haven’t quite seen since I’ve known you.   Don’t get me wrong… I think you have much to be proud of in who you are, what you’ve overcome, what you’ve done w/your son… and where you have still yet to go.   You sure aren’t finished yet.  I watched you take yo’ butt out onto the cold, wet pavement to get some exercise in… and you inspired me further.  I was reeling (in a good way) inside when I saw that. 

Keep going Kathy.  You’re being prepared (although you call it “preparing yourself”) for something wonderful in your future.  You can never receive the best until you make yourself the best you can be to be received. 

Your son is very fortunate that he has a good role model and example for a mother… and as a result, he is much of what you have given your life for… even though he is a self-centered (aka “normal”) teenager (sometimes horrible brat) who will appreciate you more later.  You go girl that you’ve done something great for yourself (body, soul and mind).  The basis of all goodness is giving and receiving love.  You are transforming yourself into a better person…  even though it’s not all about you (or me).  Be hungry for more of the “real thing”… and that ain’t you or me…but what we can offer to others.  May goodness follow you all the days of your life.

Okay then….. See you tomorrow!!!!  J

I feel/sound like a preacher.  How bout we just accept me (the dork) for being the cheerleader I want to be for you???

I like her.  She's good peeps.  Oh.  And speaking of peeps.  Do you know who's hosting SNL this week?  Oh yeahhhhhhhhhh......

This guy.... 

Who, not for nothing - could put his dick in a box for me.  And then make me do naughty naughty things...  And I'd love every.  single.   second...

Random Saturday Thoughts...

I've been thinking about age a lot this week.  I'm 48.  I don't feel old.  Except when I realize that my cousin (who is also my godchild) is going to be 30 in March.  Yikes.  30.  And she was born the year I graduated from High School.  Which means that it'll be my 30th reunion this year.  And that's more than a yikes, that's a holy shit - THIRTY YEARS. 

Thirty years ago, I was thinking about what I'd do after high school.  I was warned early on - find your own money for college or 30 days to get a full time job and start paying room & board.  Yup.  That's what I was told.  So college for me, at that time, wasn't an option.  I was 17.  What did I know about finding money for college.  I had no help from my parents.  They were too absorbed in how much they didn't like each other.   I had an older sister that was in college - but she knew what she wanted to do - and for the record?  She dated a guy that showed up at our back door wearing pants with whales on them.
 My older brother was in the Navy - he was given some opportunities, but had to back out because (big surprise) my parents wouldn't help him.  He actually had an interview that my uncle set up with Al Wang - you know - Wang Laboratories?  But my mother wouldn't let him use her car to go to it.  Seriously?  Yeah...  That was my life.  It was a mess.  Oh, and I was thinking how much I wanted to go back to Greece.  I had a boyfriend there.  We wrote each other letters.  LOL  We communicated in German - he didn't know English, I didn't know Greek.  But he was dreamy.  Oh.. so.... dreamy....   That was one good thing that my parents did - let me go to Greece for a month with my BFF.  She was from there, and her parents had a house there, so they paid for the plane ticket - that was my graduation gift.  Ahhhhhh Greece.  Ahhhhh Tony...  I wish I had made different choices that month.  I'm not going to elaborate.  LOL

Let's see.  What was I doing 20 years ago...  I was 27.  Oh, wait.  That was the half-decade of bad choices.  We won't go there.  Maybe I'm thankful that it was only half a decade, instead of a full one?  LOL

Ten years ago?  Working in a law firm.  Thinking that there had to be so much more.  Looking for love where I wasn't going to find it.

Now?  I'm in a house that I'm finally considering "home".  My kid is happy.  He's back in touch with at least one of his siblings (as a result of his father's "LIFE of bad choices")..  He no longer has a desire to meet his father - after being told "no offense, but your father is a douchebag" - he got to hear the truth about him, and not from me, which is so important.
I'm actually going to continue to paint, decorate, find a job that I love, and settle into a life that I've made for myself.  Maybe it's time to start dating.  It'd be nice to have someone there.  I think I'm ready for that.  Although, most guys my age want the trophy wife/girlfriend at this point - and I'm not either of those.   But I'm special, dammit.  And not short bus special.

And the mail is here.  Happy Saturday.  Enjoy the weekend, and I'll be back tomorrow with the Sunday meme... :)

Meg Ryan? Really? I'm still not seeing it...

1) Has anyone ever told you that you resemble a celebrity?

I used to drive a jeep, and was told once that I looked like Linda Hamilton in her Terminator Days, and when I had a spiral perm, I guess I looked like Meg Ryan.  Not for nothing'... I'd be OK looking like either of them!  LOL

2) Is there an actress or actor whose movies you make it a point to see?

Just the ones that I've slept with..

3) We're stopping for refreshments before we go in to see the movie. What's your refreshment stand order?

Last night.  With your mom.  Cherry something sangria.  It was tasty..

5) Are you jumpy? Do you startle easily?

Seriously?  No.  I'll scare the shit out of you any day, though..  LOL

6) Do you wear a watch?

Nope.  Haven't since July of 2003 - I got laid off from my job, and walked out - took it off, and said "never again".  Never again will I be a slave to a little band wrapped around my wrist.  Ever.  

7) When was the last time you tried a new restaurant?

I went to a place in Chicago.  But it wasn't new.  Just new to me.  Define new, willya?

8) What color is your wallet?

Red.  RED RED RED - whore red, if you must be specific.  LOL

9) How much does it have in coins right now?

Prolly a buck three eighty.  How much is in yours?

During the week?  Usually 10, 11 if I'm feeling crazy.  Back in the 80's though?  Whoo hoooo it was just CAraazy!  I used to work 3-11, and that schedule leads to a lot of nonsense.  That's all I'm going to say.  LOL

3) Lady Antebellum is one of the most popular acts in country music. Do you often listen to country music?

I've actually gone to see Lady A in concert, they opened up for Tim McGraw.  Want to see his bum?  He's got a very VERY nice bum...

4) Are you responding to this meme on a desktop or laptop or phone or tablet?

Desktop - and do you have ANY idea how long it took to find the picture of that man's ass?  Forever.  And just so you don't miss it - look at the guy's face between his legs.  Classic.  LOL

5) How often do you check your horoscope?

Never - want to check it for me and get back to me?

6) Congratulations! You just won a trip to Switzerland! Is your passport up to date?

No but yay!  I can go visit Aunt Jane, and see the Swiss Alps, and have a lovely time!  I'm geeked.  Where are my tickets, bitch?

7) Do you know how to snow ski?

Yes, but we don't talk about it.  Moguls.  Oh the moguls...

Today we ripped off a blogger named Gina from the blog The Journey to Olivia. It is 40 questions, so we will do it in two parts.  She does not state where she found the meme. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player's posts. It's a great way to make new friends! Link back to us at Sunday Stealing! 
Sunday Stealing: 40 of The Most Random Questions Meme, Part One 

1) What side of the heart do you draw first? 
Seriously?  What are we, in 5th grade?  Kathy and blah-blah TLA - with the T turning into the L, turning into the A....   I don't draw hearts.  Although, maybe I should.  Maybe that's  why I 'm single, because I don't draw hearts and have mushy conversations with myself and practice kissing on trees... oh.  Wait.  That's Mary Katherine Gallagher.   Never mind..
2) Can you dive without plugging your nose? 
Does a bear poop in the woods?  I'm not liking these questions so far...
3) What color is your razor? 
OMG.  Of COURSE it's pink.  I'm a pretty pretty princess, remember??
4) What is your blood-type?
Whatever the universal one is, AB+, I think?  What's your sign?
5) Who would you want to be tied to for 24 hours? 
I need more information.  Tied as in tied at the neck, the arms, like in a one-legged race - it depends - if I'm tied at the neck with someone then I want Maguyver or however you spell that guys name.  If I'm tied at the crotch with someone - and we're facing each other?  A toothbrush and Adam Levine.  At the butt?  Someone comfortable.  Come on, more details...
6) What is a rumor someone has spread about you?
 Really?  In which decade?  Would you like to know how I supposedly slept with half of the Boston Police Dept?  Or how I stole money from my ex?  Or took advantage of him, and took him for everything I could?  Oh, how about... nah.... too good.. LOL  And for the record - NONE of them are true...
7) How do you feel about carrots? How do I FEEL about them?  I didn't know we ever had to associate a feeling toward vegetables.  I don't hate them, like those vile brussel sprouts, but I don't embrace them like a long lost cousin, either...
8) How many chairs at the dining room table? 

I don't have a dining room, but I do have an "oh my GOD you'd love this table" table in my kitchen.  Want to see a picture?  Here...  Don't mind the mess..  And it seats 6 with the chairs it came with, but you can easily fit another 4 around it..

9) Which is the best Spice Girl?  Who the hell cares?  But I will tell you my favorite spice lately is a toss up between Tastefully Simple's Seasoning Salt and the Howling Horseradish (I've had it and hadn't used it - but it is UNbelievable in a bloody Mary)...
10) Do you know what time it is?  Yeah, time for YOU to get a watch if you're asking me.  Let's just say I slept in, OK?
11) Do you know all the words to the Fresh Prince Theme Song?  No.  Do you know all the words to The Big Bang Theory?  See.  Didn't think so.
12) What would you do if you were stuck in an elevator?  Depends.  Am I stuck in there tied to Adam Levine?  In that case, then I'd like the aforementioned toothbrush, please - and that 24 hours as well.  LOL
13) What’s your favorite kind of gum?  "Ladies don't chew gum"...  straight from my Grandmother.  I don't chew it. 
14) All’s fair in love and war? 
I suppose?  But if I were given those 24 hours, I'm sure we'd find out.  But I will say - hell hath NO fury..
15) Do you have a crush on anyone?  Really?  Do I need to spell it out for you?

 








16) Do you know how to use some words correctly, but not know the meaning?  I try not to use words unless I know what they mean.  Because otherwise, I'll have some Inigo Montoya type telling me all the time "you keep using that word.. I do not think it means what you think it means"...
17) Do you like to sleep?  Duh... Do you like to live?
18) Do you know which US states don’t use Daylight Savings time?  Indiana, Hawaii and a couple of others.  And I'm in MI, which is EST and really should be CST.  Just sayin'...
19) Do you know the words to the song Total Eclipse of the Heart?
if it came on the radio, I'm sure I'd sing along - right before I changed the station.  That's dumb...
20) Do you want a bright yellow ‘06 mustang? 
Do I want to be back in High School and drive a car that makes me feel like I have a big penis?  No.  I'd rather drive a cooler than shit 69 Mustang convertible.  Now that.  THAT would make me happy.  And probably attract a guy with a big penis.  Although, at this point, I'm sure it's like riding a bike - but what the hell would I do with it??  LOL

Happy Sunday all! 

I'm a pretty pretty princess

Saturday 9: Brand New Me

1) It's a brand new year! Do you have any resolutions for 2013?
I try not to have resolutions, because they always get broken.  But this year I've committed to try and keep my mouth shut more - and try and keep some opinions to myself.  If you know me, you get that.  LOL

2) Dusty Springfield sang of feeling "brand new." What leaves you feeling refreshed and/or rejuvenated?
I have to admit, there's nothing like a whole "shit, shower, shave" morning.  Oh and coffee.  Can't forget the coffee.  

 3) Dusty's given name was Mary Catherine. If you could give yourself a brand new first name, what would it be?
Huh, well figuring mine is Kathleen Mary - she was doing pretty good there.  I once tried to get everyone to call me Katie.  I really liked Katie.  I thought I was cute and perky like a Katie.  Apparently my neighborhood thought I was NOT cute and perky like a Katie, and I was spawn of the devil.  I think I was a little mischievous as a child LOL

 4) Actor Billy Bob Thornton has dismissed antiques, saying, "I'm creeped out by old stuff." Do you ever shop at estate sales, yard sales or second-hand stores? Or do you want everything brand new?
Billy Bob Thornton creeps me out.  I love having a mix of old and new in my house.  Now if I could just figure out how to put them all together so it looks like one of those HGTV homes, I'd be all set.

 5) Are you sad to see the holiday decorations slowly disappear until next year? Or do you think they should come down on January 2?
Santa in the snow globe on the front lawn needs to go.  I have lights around my breakfast bar that stay up all year long, though.  They're cool.  

6) Do you like the picture on your photo ID?
I'm a pretty pretty princess - why wouldn't I like it?

7) Crazy Sam shudders at the very thought of a snake. Which is your least favorite member of the Animal Kingdom?
Bugs.  Bugs creep me out.  And those freaking tree frogs in the summer that jump and stick on my front door that jump off when I open the door.  Those freak me out. 

 8) What's the most recent magazine you flipped through?
Some rag

9) Do you have nice handwriting?
Duh... I'm a pretty pretty princess - we always have nice handwriting!

Happy New Year!
