Link up here if you're playing along today!
I've been absent for the past couple of weeks, since Rob's been in the Neuro ICU with his brain tumor drama again, so I'm catching up. For the players' sakes, I'll start with Part III and go backward from there. Enjoy!
Part III
Most daring Dare you have ever done?
Hmmm. I don't recall, but we still "Dare" each other to do things, Hubs and I, except we call it "Ten Bucks" from the show Ed of a few years back. "Ten bucks if you go do XYZ," we'll say. Neither of us ever whips out a ten-spot, though! Recently I got ten-bucksed to call up a local seafood restaurant and ask how much their she-crab soup was. I thought it was going to be around $20 a bowl, but it was pretty reasonable, so the call didn't turn out to be that funny. Wish I had something more entertaining for you!
When is the last time you did something you knew was wrong?
Probably about a month ago. There was chocolate on the counter at the store where I'm always going, and I suddenly craved chocolate... so I took one. The cashier wasn't there and never returned, and I had to run, so I didn't get to pay for it, either. I've felt horrible about the 50¢ ever since!
What was on your mind most today?
Well, it's only 0335, so the only real thing on my mind so far is my sore lip! One of our cats laid it open while I was sleeping and caused quite the commotion in our house. Hurts like the dickens!
Have a best friend?
I do. My hubs, and my BFF Dr. Lisa are my two best friends. She's been my bestie since sixth grade, and I love her to death.
If you were upset, who’ s the first person you would go to?
Absolutely, it would be Rob, my husband - whether he likes it or not, he gets to hear about all my woes. And the good stuff, too, of course.
When was the last time someone yelled at you?
Maybe it's happened more recently, but Rob's nurse at the hospital the last time we dealt with his brain drama, back in June, really tore into me for coming in around 0600 and being too loud, waking up other patients. He was an asshole; I was really worried about Hubs and the care he was getting there, so... whatever. I insisted that nurse be taken off Rob's case. You don't need to yell at me and get in my face for being scared.
What have you done today, so far?
So far, I've finished knitting a doll sweater, taken a shower, gotten my mouth booboo fixed up by Hubs, run to the store for a soda and donuts (I did wake everyone up, so I had to feed them!), dressed and typed up this and the Saturday 9 memes. Not bad for before 0400, huh?
What did last weekend consist of?
We had a reprieve last weekend between intensive care visits, so we drove around much of Saturday and Sunday redeeming our birthday freebie coupons. My oldest kiddo, Chloë, and I had back-to-back birthdays.
What are you listening to?
"Irreplaceable" by Beyoncé on IHeartRadio, on my iPhone
Who were you last in a car with?
Hubs and our three kids, who went to the store for donuts with me - Rob carried Sophia in and out of the car, since she's in footy PJs and the ground was wet. Even though she's a ginormous 8-year-old, it was pretty cute!
Have you ever been called cute?
Yes, mostly by me, because I am! ;)
Describe how you feel right now in one word:
Productive
Has anybody ever told you that you talk too fast?
Ha. Yes. I grew up in New York, and when I moved to South Carolina between high school and college, I worked at the Winn-Dixie down the road from my dad's apartment. I had to call on the microphone for stamps, manager approvals, and whatnot, and they were forever telling me to SLOW DOWN, because they couldn't understand me! I thought it was hilarious.
Did you have fun yesterday?
Not really. I came down sick Friday evening and spent all of Saturday huddled in bed. Not how I wanted to spend this weekend with Rob finally out of the hospital, but I suppose it could be worse.
Do you like to cuddle?
I do, but only when I'm in the mood. If someone's huggin' on me when I don't feel like it, I do get annoyed.
Do you think someone is thinking about you?
Rob is, because I just asked him to reset the internet. Our internet is FOREVER "going down," so to speak, so we are constantly resetting it. Truly obnoxious. #FirstWorldProblems
Are you stubborn?
About as stubborn as they come, I am!
Is there a friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, or ex that you will never forget?
There is, but I don't think it's uncommon. Doesn't everyone have that person?
Thinking back, are there people you have no idea why you hung out with?
Kind of. There were people who were a bad influence on me and made me behave in a way I'm not proud of. I'm actually still friends with most of them, and we're all different now. We don't hang out as a group anymore, though, which is probably a good thing.
How’s your heart?
It's good. My husband is home from the hospital and feeling fine, which is a huge relief. Yeah. I'm good.
Are you easily amused?
I would say I'm easily entertained. It takes a lot to make me really laugh, though; I appreciate anyone with an intellectual sense of humor. If you can make me laugh, you're in like Flynn!
Do you speak more than 2 languages?
More than two? No... I can speak bits and pieces of about 15 different languages, but I can really only speak and understand English and Spanish well. My youngest kiddo, Sophia, was actually shocked to learn that I'm not Latina recently - she thought I was!
Are you doing anything tonight?
It'll be Sunday night, so I'll be planning out our school week for my homeschooling kids. We took the past two weeks off to run around, back and forth to the hospital to visit and take care of Rob, so we have a bunch of catching up to do.
Is there a person of the same sex who means a lot to you?
There are several! My sister, Dr. Lisa (BFF, mentioned above), my daughters, ... and many more. Not necessarily in that order.
Is your hair naturally straight?
Like a stick! People are always asking where Chloë got her wicked curly hair, and she always proudly responds, "From my daddy!"
What happened at 10:00 am?
I haven't a clue. It hasn't happened yet today, and I was dead to the world for it on Saturday.
What were you doing at ten last night?
Same thing, sleeping. I've felt like crap!
Have you made someone happy today?
I have. The kids got to ride to the store and pick out doughnuts in the middle of the night. Pretty cool for them, eh?
Is it hard for you to get over someone?
Hm. It depends on the situation, but as far as exes, I'm almost always the one who does the breaking up, so there's some crying and then it's over. As far as people who die, I don't get over that very easily at all.
Think it’s disgusting when girls get really wasted?
I don't know if "disgusting" is the word I'd choose to use. Probably more like "sad," if it's a frequent occurrence, especially one that goes on and on for years... There's just so much more to life. And why does it have to be for girls only? It applies to guys, too, IMO.
How long did it take you to get over your last ex?
My last ex would be Jamil. We were engaged and lived together. He hit me, and I landed in a bookshelf and broke my two front teeth. I kicked him out after that, obviously breaking up with him in the process. Within two weeks, I had met my now-husband. Two months after that, we were married, and very shortly after that, I was pregnant with Chloë. I have given Jamil very little thought since the teeth incident.
When you are home alone do you still close the door when you shower?
Decidedly not. I don't even shut it when everyone's here, unless we have company (which we never do). I can't stand the bathroom and mirror all steamed up, so I leave it open.
Meh. I guess I'll do Parts I & II later. I need to get back to my knitting. Cheers!
Fin.
