Blame JoAnna!! More questions about ME! updated Mon. night

As much as I've been answering a lot of Q and A blogs, lately, JoAnna had some fun questions that make my life a lot more boring than hers, so I stole it.. here ya go.. (JoAnna B is niece to Douggie B.. you should check out her blog.. won't take her long to notice all Douggie's "followers" or "worshippers" LOL) I cracked up at her "Only in America" Blog and its so true.. I used to work for an ATM company.. its on them all because its cheaper than making another mold and to stock and organize one machine is so much more efficient (even though you'd be surprised how many options that are available to banks!)

Trudy has a great "Don't Close the Blinds" story to explain to a child why we are at war. I really started way back with the Iranian crisis and hostages when I had to teach my children what all this middle east "attention" was when it started up again. Schooling at home allowed us the days and days of research and questions and answers to give a different perspective than just one text book's representation.

I do support our troops and have many opinions of whether we should be anywhere or not.. but its a good representation of why its so so too late and why just ignoring it doesn't work, either. I'd apply it as a lesson for everyday life.

We have to know when to stay out of the den of a sleeping bear, too, though. Or is it more to not let the bear hibernate???

(yahoo spacing is all out of control again I've noticed.. sorry everyone!)
1. Have you ever been searched by the cops? No
2. Do you close your eyes on roller coaster? Yes, but the last one I was on, was what I would refer to as a "baby coaster" and I smacked my head on the side bar in the last jerking turn, and well, that big bruise and headache really ruined the whole idea of doing anymore for me!

3. When's the last time you've been sledding? *frown* Never, just like snow angels...
4. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone? Both, but mostly with someone most of the time, would be nice.


5. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes
6. Do you consider yourself creative? Yes

7. Do you think O.J. killed his wife? You mean with his own hands? Better question, would the LAPD let YOU or I parade around in a 30 mph police chase? I think I blogged how much they've helped me.

8. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie? Probably Jennifer, but I'm not sure I care.
9. Can you honestly say you know ANYTHING about politics? Much more than I'd rather think about or admit.


10. Do you know how to play poker? Yes

11. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight? Yes, even not in child birth, too.

12. What's your favorite commercial? The Pepsi commercial where the rapper gets a ride in a Pepsi truck and everyone thinks its the new "IN" thing and they start buying and driving Pepsi delivery trucks around. Did they pimp them out? See how much tv I watch? (from the super bowl!)

13. Who was your first love? Eddie Echeverria and I wonder if he knows? I wonder if he'd find this if he Googled himself? *grin*

14. If you're driving in the middle of the night, and no one is around you, do you run a red light? Only once and I still don't know why, I was just "somewhere else" in thought and my friend actually told me I ran it. I was in a residential neighborhood and even honked at the car that "cut me off" that had the green! Oh, to be 16-17 and non defensively driving.. ugh!
15. Do you have a secret that no one knows but you? Of Course

16. Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees? Well, The Dodgers or the Braves, actually. Go Marcus Giles! But for the sake of the question, I go with the Yanks, for sure.

17. Have you ever been Ice Skating? Well, yes, as a mom, who sat and watched her children learning. I really think that ice will hurt when I hit it and I know I will. So being an intelligent being and being able to add, its not going to happen in this lifetime.

18. How often do you remember your dreams? Not often. I have many journals but if I had a dream journal it would be blank, I think.

19. What's the one thing on your mind? Concern about the health of a dear friend.

20. Do you always wear your seat belt? Yes

21. What talent do you wish you had? I wish I could play the piano or paint even the "one stroke" method!

22. Do you like Sushi? Yes, if its cooked. I love eel, but avoid it (migraine trigger). I don't eat much cucumber anymore, unless its European (except in sushi). I don't like fake crab, either. My favorites are at sushi bars.. fried fantail with cream cheese, The Jax roll in Jacksonville, Florida, and Dynamite are some favorites.. I'll try any of it, if its not raw. I don't eat pickled ginger or wasabi. I prefer the rice on the outside, or "inside out" but I don't know why it matters to me. I even like it with brown rice. I prefer small rolls so you don't have to take a bite out of it.

23. What do you wear to bed? Well. Pajamas are my favorite clothing. I love them in cotton or satin. I love them with shorts or pants. I love pajama long shirts. I also love tanks and panties. I need someone else to "help" in the middle of the night with pets or children/family to get me in the buff all night long. Its also why I rarely sleep in just a tank and panties, too. I even love my plaid pajama pants that I wear in public that no one knows are jammies!! Men's cotton pajama pants are awesome too!

24. Do you truly hate anyone? I don't know anymore. I don't think so. There is such a fine line, though.

25. If you could sleep with one famous person, who would it be? No one, I would always want "more", so forget it.


26. Do you know anyone in jail? Sadly, yes!
27. What food do you find disgusting? Hmmm.. raw tuna or sushi, brussel sprouts, bad cole slaw,coconut grit (but love the flavor) orange carbonated soda, and olives. Is Beer a food?

28. Have you ever made fun of your friends behind their back? Yes, but I also agree, nothing that I would not tell them, say in front of them, or have already said to them. I'm with Carlos Mencia on this.

29. Have you ever been punched in the face? Well, I did get my jaw dislocated swing dancing one time with my ex-husband. I did not know it was dislocated for a few days, though. I just knew my mouth would not open and I couldn't do much more than stick a straw between my clenched teeth. Never trust your friends who are corpsman. I finally dug out a pain pill and when it started working, I laughed about something I had heard earlier that day, and it popped into place and was "all better" just like that!
30. Do you believe in angels and demons? Not in a way you'd think.

OOOH more stuff about ME!

OOOH more stuff about ME!! magnify
Aren't full size mirrors fun!?!

I'm getting into a more common size, I think, because no clothes in my size seem to be anywhere. Well, this is one of my new sweaters. It is brown.. I'll try to get a photo in the blue sweater, too. Hugz, ~Heidi

My blogsurfing brought me to JoAnna B's blog. Here are my answers to her questions:

1. What is the weirdest place you've ever fallen asleep? On a curb in an alley, in a rather populated area. I was walking home from school and really not feeling well. I decided to sit for a few minutes and umm, then woke up! I have no idea why no one worried about me, saw me, reported me, etc.. nor do I know how long I was asleep either.

2. What is your favorite fantasy? Hmmm... to be treated well and have a safe environment to just be a mom in between feeling like someone's momma. The other is a beach cottage rental for a month, or the whole summer.. alone (similar reason to drive a Miata)! And also being a home owner with a home-based businss with food and sundries delivery. LOL

3. If you had the power to kill and could get away with it no matter what, would you use your power? Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies.. grab a shovel!

4. Your secret vice is? Denial. I am not blog addicted. I am not addicted to chat. I also hate to answer the telephone lately. I do not own every journal that is beautiful YET. (or how about simply pretzel rods dipped in white chocolate.

5. What super power would you love to have? Seeing charming people for who they really are? Being a blind fly on the wall in the guy I'm dating's parentsbedroom. Or better..knowing for sure when you are being played or lied to.

6. Respect or money? Respect

7. Blonde or Brunette in a partner? Brunette

8. Filet Mignon or Cheeseburger? Burger, but really I want the salad bar with great heart chunks of iceburg and romaine, cheese, beets, Chinese noodles *pref. dry rice*, and cottage cheese. Top it with a real read (not orange) French and a tad bit of Italian, shake Parmesan cheese on the top. I love to add a chopped up softer meat, like meatloaf or Salisbury steak or warm veggies and beans too.

9. Would you kill for the safety & security of another? No doubt. I don't live in Iran!

10. Ever been to jail? No, but I have a bail bondsman in Jacksonville, Florida! LOL

11. Ever cheated on a boyfriend, spouse or girlfriend? Yes

12. Highest education level? High school grad/ some college/ lot of life experience and self-learning.

13. Biggest turn on? Drakkar

14. Biggest turn off? Having a date talk about his mother in a way that IS your age, in his opinion, oblivious to it because he hasn't asked me any questions and then he
begins to wonder if I'm listening, by asking me fifty times.

As much as having to speak in anyone else's tone but my own!

Being underpaid or under appreciated. Like doing ten jobs for the already crappy pay to just do my own!

Being invited to a holiday meal as a date that is personally special to you, meeting every single family MEMBER, and then never speaking to him again within two weeks or so. Don't take me home to momma unless you feel the possibility of a future.

Charmers and Players. I don't want to be around a "PimP" in that state.

Not being able to bill a doctor for your time when your appointment is two hours behind schedule, or is canceled on your machine but you never got the msg, like he'd give his time for nothing? Yeah!

Being able to creatively write to my credit reporting bureau, why I won't pay the Neuro's 40 dollar no show fee.

15. What cd is in your car right now? Blessid Union Of Souls ~ Home

16. Do you think that women or men lie more often? I think integrity is a line both men and women have skipped. A lot of women scare me so they should worry men and if they don't.. run very fast! All you have is your handshake and your word. Follow Through!

I can tell you my least favorite in high school was English Lit and when my school went business prep and had a sub. Class for that, I flew out of that class just in the nick of hell time!

17. Your Dream Vacation? Just one? My first thought is “If I lay here. If I just lay here.. Would you lie with me and just forget the world?” Then I’d have to say some beach, sunsets, tropical punch, hard bodies to watch, great accents.. Then I think of what Kurt, from High School told me the last time I talked to him.. so its Bermuda!

I love a tent in the rain! I just hate mud while without a washing machine!

26. Were you an honor roll student? We did not have this at my school. I was teased for having super grades. It never got in the way of the guys.. I still attracted flies. My eldest daughter was just inducted to the Honor Society.. plug plug.. LOL

32. Do you collect anything? Books, Family History, Marcus Giles baseball cards, Bargains to eBay in this lifetime, and sterling silver charms and jewelry, beads?! Now I obsessively scribble. So I collect spiral bound notebooks, journals, and phoo phoo paper even to write grocery lists. I absolutely adore decorative post-it notes! I look for anything PINK, too! I guess this means I have to admit that I collect pens to go with those journals and I'm a bag Ho. I like organized mess. I love canvas bags. I love things with names on them. My name, your name? The names of my children? The name's of my unborn children?? LOL I'm also a fabric junkie. I collect quilt squares, love swaps, and remnants, buttons, etc!

33. Last time you got stopped or pulled over by a cop? 1994, wrongly. Went to court (always go to court a former highway patrolman told me, if your issuing officer can’t make it, you get to go home and are excused from it, odds are in your favor). Mine showed. Brought his kid. I’m so proud. I had all three of mine, as my witnesses had gone out to sea that morning, too. My youngest was 4 months old. I was a good mom and brought presents to occupy them, but they were both pulling at my skirts in a tiff when I was talking to the judge.. ugh! I apologized and explained why they were there. I had good documentation but did not end up needing it and I’m glad I get to share this cuz everyone needs to know this.. I didn’t know, but in California, the cop has to justify why he was where he was to pull you over. He told the court that he was called by the school he was standing near when he got me for going 38 in a 40 but tried to get me for school zone of 25mph! I also didn’t know that I had a right to question him in my own defense. I asked one question. “Sir, if you could please tell us which school called you out that day?” He replied, “I don’t remember exactly the name, this was a couple months ago, it was the elementary school behind where I was parked”. I just quietly said, “thank you”. Then, my famous words in my only courtroom drama worth repeating.. “Your honor, I’d like to present you with documentation that the elementary school that called this officer out that day was closed that day and the day before.” He tried to change his story, but the judge said his time was over. I took my babies home. Never let them win, when they are wrong. That cop pulled car after car over that afternoon. In California, the law says “when children are present”. It was almost 5pm, he pulled me in after he let one go and pulled another in after me! How many of those people didn’t know he was wrong and just paid it and then got jacked to renew or get cancelled by their insurance companies??? I hope his child learned something that day too.

34. Have you ever drank soda from a straw? Yes, from a glass with ice. Never in a can or bottle anymore.

35. How do you like your drinks? On the rocks!!

36. Do you like hot sauce? Yes, but I’m afraid of it now. So I’m a mild wimpy saucer, now. I'm the type that loves you to get nachos at a movie so I can dip jalapeno's in the nacho cheese sauce. I'll empty the jalapeno container and use them as the chips!! YUM

37. Last time you took a shower? Okay, I’m cracking a gut thinking of Jesse’s “clean” comment again! I’m not telling! I am clean all the time!

38. Who do you have a crush on? Ain't gonna' tell. Me neither.

39. What is your mood? Fun and wildly tired.

40. Are you someones best friend? Yes

41. Are you rich? I loved Jesse’s answer as its all I can really offer, too. I have three wonderful children, a great honest heritage that built my integrity 150+ years ago, and I still know my name! To me, that’s very rich! Rich isn’t ever measured in dollars in my book!

50 Things about Me ~ Full of Me Friday?? LOL

50 Things About Me!

If you opened this, FILL IT OUT! Learn 50 things about your friends, and let them learn 50 things about you! I opened this in Jesse's blog and well, as much as I avoided this when I found it in other blogs, by the skin of my teeth, I was caught.. so here it is.. I referred to full of me because I can't give one answer to a lot of them.. so I'm quite full of myself in this blog!

1. Height? 5' 4"

2. Have you ever smoked heroin? No

3. Do you own a gun? No, couldn’t move the body! My grandpa always said “if they fall out of the house, drag their asses back inside!” Did Grandpa say ass? LOL

5. Do you get nervous before "meeting the parents?" Only if I’m with my children. Children will find a way to embarrass you. I promise you this. This is extremely bad when meeting the parents is a meal, too. I’m rather likable; too, til mom finds out how old I am and that I have three children!

6. What do you think of hot dogs? Two words: Hebrew National ~ Kosher! No crap! All Beef. Capt Johns Rolls a super plus.. toasted, too!

7. What's your favorite Christmas song? Hmmm, must we go here? There is this great CD of RM’s that sing a rendition of Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, and one guy brings his young daughter, who sounds about four years old, and these are her responses: (used to laugh and call him names) “Like Loser”, (reindeer games)“Like Chutes and Ladders, Duck, Duck Goose, and Parcheesi!!”, (Santa came to say)“My Precious!”,(you’ll go down in history) “Like a light bulb” that my kids love so much and I love hearing them sing it over and over and it never gets boring! Especially their “MY Precious!”

8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning? Tea or Juice

9. Can you do push ups? No

10. Is your bathroom clean? Yes!

11. What's your favorite piece of jewelry? *remind self to ask Jesse about focus stone.. * I love all my jewelry. I don’t own a lot, but what I have is dear to me. I have a paper ring made for me by a high school boyfriend. It resembles the school class ring I could never afford to have. I still have it! I only don’t have my first set of wedding rings because they were stolen! I’ve already blogged my claddaugh ring. I have this great silver ring that fell off my finger two weeks ago (lost ten more pounds).. it looks like someone stretched the sterling and dropped it and it shape is <3 like I have used online.. Sideways heart.. its so kewl. I have a sterling scroll pattern thumb ring that is the only piece of jewelry on my hands at the moment. I never thought myself to ever wear a ring on my thumb. That is so “my mom”. Anyway, I bought this ring on my way to the doctor’s one afternoon, on the fly, on sale at some clothing store, and it was too big. The receptionist said “put it on your thumb!” I told her I just couldn’t do that. I went back to exchange it for a smaller size and found my thumb ring!!!! I just love it. Thanks Leanna. Okay so then I have this pair of jade and sterling ear rings I Found at Target while on that camping trip, last Spring, that I needed for St. Patricks Day. I found this gorgeous matching butterfly/silver pendant on QVC! I’m almost done.. I have this magnetic necklace that I think really does help my neck pain sometimes, and I have these awesome self-made and gift given hand beaded anklets and bracelets.. I’ll blog them sometimes in the future. Hell, this is full of me Friday now! (this is a whole blog in itself if I don't shut up here!)

12. Do you like painkillers? Weed is an analgesic? I didn’t know that! Never been High. Live on pain killers.. the legal kind!

20. Current worry? Making a memorable Christmas for my Children with no way yet.

23. Current hate? Drama and Spam! I'm also very discontent that my eldest daughter isn't speaking to me, did not wish to come down for Thanksgiving, told me so, I told her I loved her and not to wait too long to regret this, she said "Ok, I love you too". Then today I find she's disconnected me from her Myspace! I think its because I tried to tell her about some boy connected to her that I was worried about and she then informed me she had recently gone out with him. His Myspace worried me. Her father was upset when he thought she had a photo of herself on it, as he misunderstood how I snagged those photos sent/uploaded by her friend.. but she does have a new photo up and mom is out.. so dad needs to know now. I don't want to be the bad guy but I'll do it for my children.

24. Favorite place to be? Duh! Asleep at normal times!

25. Least favorite place to be? A wake/funeral viewing

PINK! Pink! Light Pink! I heart Pink! Like my Blog Pink! Pink Hearts.. Pink Ribbons, Pink Bows, Pink Ribbon Roses.. PINK!

If I’m wearing it outside: Red or Beige. I love to wear white when I’m at home, on high thread count white sheets too.. I’m only spoiled with Down and expensive bedding.. its all about sleep I don’t get, right?

31. Would you be a pirate? No

33. What songs do you sing in the shower? Can’t think now that I’m singing “sing a song”. I love to sing. Its one of my favorite things to do. Lately I’d have to say its ta da again “If I lay here… If I just lay here.. Would you lie with me and just forget the world?” I just rented season one of Grey’s Anatomy and 1 and 2 of 5 of Season 2! I’d really like to see/beg/borrow anyone’s seasons of Gilmore Girls!!!! I’d like to start at the beginning and watch them all with my daughter.. but ouch at that sticker shock! I can’t find any downloads.. I even bought a subscription to find them.. no luck. Need to figure out that too.. where is that site?

34. What did you fear was going to get you at night as a child? Everything. If I wasn’t safe at Grandma’s house, my life was very unpredictable and it scared me to go to sleep and not know what might happen before dawn. I had moved in the middle of the night after trading “new friends” received as gifts with a friend, for the night, when i was eight.. Mine was a bear, her’s was a monkey. I still have that Monkey. I will always feel bad for never returning it. Wonder if my brother remembers its name? I can’t remember.

35. What's in your pockets right now? Air?

36. What was the last thing to make u laugh? These quizzes, tags!

38. Worst injury you've ever had? Yes, I agree.. my broken heart is the worst. AS for physical injuries.. well, I turned my foot over the last Saturday of my junior year, in the opening softball game! My whole Senior summer was spent elevated and crutched. It sucked. I took my finals with a wheelchair I thought Kurt would kill me in, even broke the splint on my leg. We had our first date that night too. I got him a pass from classes to come get me and take me to my next class fr finals. He ended up having a gf then.. but he called to have me take him to pick out his classes by the end of summer and he didn’t have that gf for a couple months by then.. it was bittersweet for a few months.. when I could walk again. I’ll blog our first date sometime soon.

I reinjured this same foot in the same place, about 1998, I think. I stepped off of a patio onto a stepping stone. I had done this a thousand and two times before. I planted that stepping stone! My left foot wobbled and twisted out from under me, the right foot did the same and there I was laying over a bush, in the grass, feeling like I'd been axed at both knees. I could feel nothing below my knees.

I was dropping off the children with their father to meet a friend for a movie as my boyfriend was working late that night. The children made a towel road for me to crawl back into the apartment when I could finally move. I could not support my left foot in the air at all to crawl. I knew something major had happened.. I'll blog this as its that big of a story.. needless to say, I had no medical insurance and my boyfriend was working for an ortho surgeon that night (on his home theatre) and he asked him what the cheapest route to go would be and the guy gave him his pager number. A week later, I couldn't get up the steps into this man's home, so he checked me out in his front yard, on those steps. He ordered x-rays at "doc in the box" (his words) and read them in his front yard. Left foot torn ligaments with bone chips/fragments.. broken foot! Right ankle sprained. Now who the hell walks and hurts both feet? You need at least one good one. I turned 30 in a wheelchair and cried through dinner because I was in so much pain. Should have had him write me a script.. learning lesson eight thousand and five?

40. How many TVs do you have in your house? Four? Matthew had to leave his in Virginia for now.. We have that many cell phones too, and no land line! Someone is always reachable.. in the house, out back, or plain not here!

41. Who is your loudest friend? Well Jesse says he’s his loudest so he must be mine, too, but I have not heard him.. hint hint.. I have free long distance dammit.

42. Who is your most silent friend? Ahmed Asker

43. Does someone have a crush on you? Yes

44. Do you wish on shooting stars? Yes, all the time.

45. What is your favorite book? Well.. Orel Hershiser’s Between the Lines and Mitch Albom’s The Five People You Meet in heaven! I have several "started" right now, so this may get added too soon.

46. What is your favorite candy? I firmly have this "adult candy bar vs child candy bar" law in my home. Adult candy includes: Lindt Lindor Truffles, Almond Roca (appropriately in a pink bag! but not as good as my homemade toffee), Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares with Caramel, etc. Everyone knows not to eat MY Candy, which is referred above as "adult". Its really just an unspoken rule! Adult chocolate is a perfect piece of sin!

Everyday candy includes: Payday, Spree or Jolly Ranchers when I’m reading. Even Starburst came out with a California flavor pack a few years ago that was so perfect. See that Cali girl in me will never die!!

Skor is preferred over Heath, if Ben & Jerry could get the memo! Red Vines !! In the West you find Red Vines in the movie theatres, in the South and east, where I am now, its icky other licorice! I love the mixed bag of mini's for a tiny chocolate treat. My favorite lately has been snickers.

I also adore salt water taffey that has no salt water in it whatsoever and never has! Anyone remember taffey pulls when you were growing up?

But I like the cookie candy bars.. Twix and Kit Kat and I misss terribly PB MAXX from the 80's, anyone remember that fantastic candy bar? Or Marathon? The braided caramel dipped in chocolate? Or Flicks? They were like large sized choclate drops that we bought at the drive-in movie in a tube shaped box! What about Abba Zabba? Was that a West Coast thing? It was peanut butter filled white taffey! Anyone remember these?

My grandmother used to love this one particular candy bar called U-NO. It was silken type chocolate dipped in chocolate. I thought it had disappeared but I found it near the Grand Canyon, in January 2000, and I bought a few bars to eat and one to put in Grandma's shadow box!

47. What song do you want played at your wedding? Jesse’s getting married again and so am I. I have no idea what song though.. depends on who I marry. Depends on if we dance and if we have a first dance.. ya know?

48. What song do you want played at your funeral? “In My Life” by the Beatles, but I’m very fond of Chantal Kreviazuk’s rendition from the Theme Song to the television show I miss, Providence.

49. What were you doing 12 AM last night? Walking in Blogland and chatting.

50. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up? “Another day gone..”

OHHH all these changes and new features.. yippie joy yahoo can really blow some more crap at us to check out and never get out of beta?? I'm not sure I want to tag anything. Do you? I want to be able to mark individual blogs adult content.. like the one that necessitated them all go automaticaly. What's the use of any of "check this boxes" if they don't work?3
