More Questions, With Answers! Woohoo!
Posted by Lotus, aka Sarcastic Mom in Aging, Body/Health, Miscellaneous Blabbering on November 24, 2008
Going to be doing some stuff and thingies this week, in different places and locations. Heh.
So, busy busy busy, go go go, this that and the other = I’ll be Away From Keyboard a LOT.
To keep all of You Wonderful People entertained and amused, I’ll be slinking a little away from Lazy Douchedom again this week by FINALLY answering more of the questions you asked forever ago!
Then, later, I’ll also be asking YOU some questions. So get ready, my pretties.
Previous Posts Containing Answers:
Answers to “food-based” questions
Second installment of answers
Today’s Installment:
Dawn asked: “If you could snap your fingers and change one part of your body, what would it be?”
Well, if you had asked me that as a child, my IMMEDIATE response would have been,”My ears.” I got made fun of A LOT for my ears.
Being called “Dumbo” was not unheard of.
Bastards.
A year ago, I’d have asked for someone to zap my Muffin-op away.
But bah. I’m pregnant now, so the Muffin-Top is just providing the rounded-out icing on top of my bulbous cake of a belly. Yay and shi.
What I’d really like is thinner, smoother thighs. The junk in my trunk I can handle, but I HATES DEM OLE JELLY LEGS.

Kat asked: “What do you want to be when you grow up (you know, figuratively speaking, who wants to grow up anyway!)”
When I was a little kid (yes, I’m going to start off that way again) I wanted to be an astronaut. AND a ballerina. Yes, at the same time. And, uh, I TOTALLY could have done either or both, but I changed my mind. So there.
Years ago, I thought I wanted to be a research psychologist and professor. I burned out on that idea in Grad School. Oh, Grad School, how I look back at you with much fear and loathing.
Nowadays, I’m focusing more on how I can make today and tomorrow better for my family and myself, and less on “when I’m all grown up.” And busy learning that might be the best thing for me mentally. And maybe partly because of my tendency to be in denial about my aging in the first place.

Katie Ann asked: “What made you choose a chihuahua?”
Honestly? I HAVE NO IDEA. I have always thought Chihuahuas are HORRIBLE little pests of dogs! That they are annoying and really begging to be kicked across the room at any given moment.
And you know what? I WAS RIGHT.
Heh. Okay, the little jerk IS cute. And sometimes he doesn’t suck.

Veronica asked: “When are you going to fly over and visit me?”
Tomorrow, Honey. Better get your ass to the airport and pick me up. With chocolates in hand.
I WISH! *muah*
******
Marylin asked: “Hmm, where and what would you do in your dream holiday?”
Anywhere I can Sleep. Sleep. Sleeeeep. SleeeeeEEEP. SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP.
And have wine. Chocolate. Cheese.
Then more sleep.
See? I’m easy.

That’s it for today! Stay tuned for more… and be ready to answer my questions, too.





















Sparkle On!

Here’s hoping your weekend kicks ass, guys.
Braden and I will be playing with these:

Also, eating hotdogs, playing outside, and just generally hanging out together. On Saturday, John will join us in our merriment. There is much to be thankful for. Like anytime the 3 of us are together. That’s pretty sublime.
Can you believe that is the most recent picture of the 3 of us together? That’s from October, for cryin’ out loud!? Who thinks we should take a new one on Saturday? *raises hand*
If you have any downtime this weekend and feel like reading: yesterday’s post is here, and there’s one I’m excited about here, too. (*school-girl-type squeal*)
Comments on either/both are appreciated… as always ( b/c I’m an Attention Whore, I’ll admit it freely).
By the way, thanks so much to all of you who already hopped over there and read, and BIG thanks to those who commented! You even had to do MATH to leave a comment there. And that’s just above and beyond what should ever be required without compensation. So really, thanks, You Wonderful People! You made my day yesterday.
*gratuitous ass kiss warning*
Know this: I appreciate all of you, you who read, you who comment, – even you who don’t comment as long as you’re here with me! I appreciate you who are here often as well as you who only visit sporadically. I just appreciate all of you. Without you, there wouldn’t be much reason for me to hit “publish” on any of these posts. Sure, I write this for myself and write what I want to write, but I could keep a private journal if it didn’t have something to do with my interactions with YOU.
So, thanks so much for supporting me whenever you can.
*end of gratuitous ass kissing*
Now go eat some grilled stuff, drink some fun drinks, watch the bright lights and listen to the loud pops and the laughter of your loved ones, while you smile and soak it all in. Enjoy every moment, it’s worth it.
Appreciation, Ass Kissing, Commenters, family, Fireworks, food, Fun, grateful, Happy 4th of July, MATH, Readers, Reading Material, Sparklers, thanks, You Wonderful People
