Back in April when I was moving, I posted about 10-12 questions for anyone to answer if they wanted. And I loved reading the answers to the questions. So, I’m doing it again. If you will, answer the following questions in the comment section:
1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.)
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
3.)What is your favorite song?
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care?
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win?
6.) What is your guilty pleasure?
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do?
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise?
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why?
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why?
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?
Okay, that is all. I would appreciate very much if you could answer these. I love hearing your thoughts and opinions, because they are generally all endearing and/or hilarious. I’m not just saying that to charm the pants off of you either. I really do love it. By the way, the easiest way to do this would be to copy & paste the questions into the comments section and then reply.

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.)
I did change my name–I was called by my middle name since I was 2, changed it to my first name for a couple of years when I was 7, went back to the middle name, and now use the first name for blogging.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
Hmmm. Recently I went on a long diatribe about parents who let their slacker kids live at home forever. Well into the diatribe I realized that a member of the audience was a 48 year old slacker that still lived at home.
3.)What is your favorite song?
What A Wonderful World–Louis Armstrong
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care?
E-mail
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win?
Why fight? The frog should just turn the other cheek and hop away,
6.) What is your guilty pleasure?
Lifetime T.V. stalker movies–yes, I feel guilty. No, I will never stop. There’s nothing like having a cold just bad enough to take the day off of life to indulge my guilty pleasure without feeling guilty for taking the day off of life.
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do?
My husband knows, but barely ever reads. He is, however very proud of it in a baffled sort of way. I’ve honestly never wanted to poke his eyes out. Slap him, maybe.
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise?
I like to think I’m pretty quick-witted.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why?
It was the trifecta of Nanny and the Professor, The Brady Bunch and The Partridge Family. All that happiness and familyness–I ate it up.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why?
Party of Five. I wasn’t done watching them grow up.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?
No, but I haven’t been around the blogosphere that long. I do think that certain people are not as open and inclusive as others. In that case I might still read, but won’t comment.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?)
I’m curious as to how you came to be such a young mother (not that I’m judging, it just seems like there’s a story behind it). I would totally understand if that’s too personal.

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? I wanted to change my name to Dawn. I don’t know why. I don’t know why Dawn. I think I just hated my name for some reason.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
Oh good lord! I have no idea! I once told my students that the teeny tiny “fashion pocket” on my shirt was a dimebag pocket. After their last teacher, the one I was replacing, had been fired for inappropriate language.
3.)What is your favorite song? Hmmm….I could listen to Jersey Girl by Springsteen forever. I love anything by Springsteen. The Backyardigans have a few ditties that make me happy, too!
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care?
Hmmm….either would be fine but don’t feel obligated! The comments section is fine…I come back to see what others have said!
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? The frog…totally the frog.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Dawson’s Creek on TiVo
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do?
He knows. He doesn’t read it. He knows what I talk about. That’s about it…he knows that if he makes fun of me I just write about him and the love he has for his co worker, Dan.
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise?
Humor…quick wit….friendly.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why?
Wow! I loved Romper Room…I had a few friends on there and it was cool to say I knew people on TV.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why?
Ooohhh I don’t know! Sex and the City but only if their lives went on from where the movie left off. I feel funny admitting this but Men in Trees…I totally wanted Marin to get together with Cash.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?
I have, not recently. I kept reading and still do.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?
No, I actually love reading about yours and your husband’s family! I love you write about a ton of different things! I almost always laugh when I read what you have to say!!
I actually really enjoyed doing this!

1.) Absolutely! I have the perfect p0rno name without trying. Anything would be better I thought.
2.) Geez, this one’s difficult because I say dumb things ALL.THE.TIME.
3.) I don’t have an absolute fav song, but right now I’m diggin’ Bleeding Love.
4.) I think I would rather it by email, which is funny because I respond in the comment section. I just love responses, so if you get around to it, either way I’m happy.
5.) Turtle hands down. Have you ever been bitten by a turtle?
6.) Geesh, what isn’t? Tv, internet, junk food. The usual.
7.) Yes he does know. He helped make up the name. Surprisingly he does read. He never makes fun of me, although he does get a bit irritated when I’ve basically sat on my ass all day blogging. Sometimes I wish he didn’t read just so I’d feel more free.
8.) hmmmm, I’d have to say my ability to not be mean to those who are being mean to me. Although to be fair, I do want to be mean. I just can’t.
9.) Three’s Company. I loved “Jack”. Apparently I was always into funny guys.
10.) Star Search.
11.) I have. I quit reading and took her off my blogroll. Oh well.
12.) Anything you write is hysterical. I vote you the funniest blogger I read hands down. But I especially love the series about 80’s lady.

Cute pics!
And here we go:
1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.)
*Yes, to Stacey or Renee, b/c they were my favorites on Kids, Inc.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
*holy heck, I’m a sagittarius, most everything I say is embarrassing. 2 stand out for me though: 1) end of Gulf War, I’m a teenager?? CNN reports only 400 out of 4,000 body bags sent were used. I say? “What a waste of body bags.” mm, yeah.
2) Listening to Al Gore’s speech (John Edwards maybe?) at the 2004 DNC, I say, “Sounds like a lot of Big Government to me.” Husband STILL gives me shit for this. LOL
3.)What is your favorite song? *I can’t pick just one.
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? *If something *moves* you about my comment and a direct reply is fitting, email, cuz I prolly won’t be coming back here to see if you replied. (You’re asking this post specific?) Generally what I said above, but if it’s NOT fitting for email reply, then return comment at my blog. That’s what I generally do.
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? *I was gonna say frog cuz he could kick with the legs, but then thought, well maybe the turtle could squish the frog somehow?
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? *bad reality TV and chocolate.
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? *YES If so, do they read? *SOMETIMES Do they make fun of you for blogging? *MORE SO THE TWITTERING & PLURKING Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? *KINDA
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? *I laugh a lot.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? *Kids, Inc. – dancing, singing, everything an LA girl dreams of, LOL. Parker Lewis Can’t Lose, show was just fantastic. Hey Dude, cuz it rocked, heh.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? *My So-Called Life b/c it died an early death
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? *Well if I have left several comments w/ no return comment or email, then I usually stop reading unless they are very special somehow – excellent writing, photography, etc. and they are SO popular that it would be ridiculous to think they have time to answer everyone. I try not to take this thing so seriously. Also I am a bastard about return commenting and staying connected b/c I just don’t have the time. Hell I almost didn’t answer these Q’s b/c gottdamn, there’s a lot of them = a lot of time. But I loves you.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ? *I would like to know (maybe you’ve covered this before but…) how did you come upon the decision to marry and have child “early?” It fascinates me to hear of others in their 20’s doing the same and I like to know the thought process/decision making process.
Wow! I did it. Damn, that’s more writing than I do in a week for my own blog! LOL

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? When I was probably eight or nine I insisted everyone refer to me as Samantha. I would get downright upset if they refused and wouldn’t answer them if they didn’t. The worst part is that this little phase lasted close to a year.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? I was in front of a bunch of friends without my children for the first time in months and was trying to say something to my friend without anyone hearing. The logical thing to do would have been to lean over and quietly speak to her, but instead I started spelling what I wanted to say, not realizing that everyone else could spell too, unlike my children.
3.)What is your favorite song? I have a ton of favorites but one of my all time faves is “Don’t You Forget About Me” by Simple Minds.
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? Probably email. I would totally forget to check back here.
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? The turtle because he can just retreat into his shell and fall asleep.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Anything with excess cheese.
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? I don’t have a blog. But mine makes fun of me for the amount of blogs I read on a daily basis.
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? I can laugh at myself no matter what the situation is.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? When I was little, I really never watched TV. I spent a lot of time at my grandmother’s and her TV only went on at night for Matlock. LOL.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Probably My So Called Life. Not for me now but I thought it was a much better depiction of what goes on in a high school than anything else on TV.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Not really.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ? I’m a young mom also and I really enjoyed your post about people’s reaction to your age.

June 29th, 2008 @ 2:03 am
Hi! This is my first time visiting your site so I’ll try my best to make a good first impression, LOLz.
1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? I STILL want to change my name. I was JUST thinking about that, how after college, I am SO going to finally do the inevitable and change my name to Leia. Because I love that name. And my mother was always like, “I have no idea why we didn’t. Your father was such a Star Wars geek, too.” But yes, Leia. Someday. (Even if that does sort of degrade the validity of my degree which will bear my given name.) I think about it this way. It’s still going to be four letters long–I’m just changing up two letters in exchange for AWESOME.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
(See above.) Probably something like…”I was reading this fanfic when…” or when I was talking to a co-worker about how one of the kids’ camps went and I was like, “there were some SERIOUS DRAMZ.” And he was like, “Dramz?” and I had to admit reading Perez Hilton. Oh, wait. no. This takes the cake. Carrie Fisher is my absolute hero, right? I want to be her someday and I got to see her show, which is very audience participation. And I was in the front row, PS, because my mother is a cruel, cruel woman. 
So during her act, she talks about her stint as Princess Leia and how George Lucas refused to let her have lingerie. So she asks, “What do you think they used?” Nobody said anything. For, like, five minutes. So I went, “Gaffer tape!” (beacuse I am a NERD and I know EVERYTHING about Princess Leia). And she stops, looks at me and yells, “How do you know that?! You’ve seen this show before, haven’t you?! How OLD are you anyway? What are you, TWELVE?!” FAIL.
What do I say that ISN’T embarrassing?
3.)What is your favorite song? According to my iTunes, “So Close” from the Enchanted soundtrack. But at one point it was “The Fall Of Saigon” from Miss Saigon.
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? I would just love a comment back!
I love meeting new people and sharing blogs. 
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win?
True story!
Oh, dude. If it’s my roommate’s turtle, it will SO win. He’s awesome. You can talk to him. And he LISTENS.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure?
Watching dorky Sci-Fi and Discovery channel paranormal investigation shows. My all-time favorite is Ghost Hunters (and their International show). But I get desperate when I’ve seen them all, I get into Paranormal State and now A Haunting (if only to laugh/grimace at the abysmal acting). This all started because I started watching Most Haunted when I was living in London. Apparently, I was bored and didn’t have enough of those aforementioned dramz.
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? First of all, I have a SPOUSE? Please tell me he’s Hayden Christensen, please…
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? My wit. Because it mixes the two virtues I have, if any.
My intelligence (big hair = big brains according to Hermione Granger and if hair has anything to do with it, we are BOTH super smart 
) and my sense of humor. Because as long as you can laugh at yourself and your situation, you are doing great. 
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? I loved Ghostwriter. Apparently because it incorporated two of my favorite things in the future: Ghosts and writing. Also, Alex was cute.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Ghostwriter. See above. Just kidding. Hands down, I would bring back Arrested Development because it was a CRIME it got cancelled. It is the funniest, most amazing show on the planet. It gave me higher standards for television viewing (and now how the mighty have fallen. Paranormal State, COUGH.)
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Hm…I don’t think so.
I’m not sure if I would quit reading if I really enjoyed their entries, but my feelings would be hurt. I’m sort of sensitive towards offending/bristling other people…
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future? I love it when people tell really funny, inside-joke kind of stories about moments they’ve shared with their “person,” their best-best friend, their sister, whomever. I just love it because it’s so REAL and it’s one of the best things in life we all do every once in a while. I just love laughing until my tummy hurts!
Whew. That was my longest comment reply ever. I’m so sorry but I hope you enjoy the answers! I’ll definitely be coming back to read more!

1.) Well I wanted to be Ashley Olsen, and my best friend to be Mary Kate, so I’d say I wanted my name to be Ashley
2.) Its a tie between the time I was playing Wii sports at a family friend of my boyfriend’s family and I was saying the characters looked like something really familier. Then, without considering my words I said “They look like little people!” Now I meant the toys I used to play with as a kid, but I’m not sure thats how their daughter who is a little person interpreted that statement. Nobody said anything. Luckily they’ve blocked this from their memory because when I saw them last they hadn’t remembered ever meeting me.
But it ties with the time I was shopping with my dad and I randomly yelled out “Bobby” which was my boyfriend at the time’s name. I wasn’t even talking to my dad when I did it, it was so weird. Neither of us mentioned it.
3.) At the moment L.I.F.E by Lil Mama, cause I’m cool like that
4.) emails cool I suppose
5.) the frog, if they can kill a dog they can kill a turtle
6.) soda, I love that sugary taste, but I really do try not to drink it.
7.) If I had a blog I’d feel stupid keeping it from my boyfriend, but at the same time I know I wouldn’t want him to read it
8.) hmmm, I’m really understanding…I think
9.) Full House. See the answer to question number 1, all I ever wanted to be was an Olsen twin.
10.) Northern Exposure, because its amazing and it makes me want to live in Alaska.
11.) nope
12.) more 80s lady

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.) I wanted to change my name to Sharlie. I read her name in a fiction romance story in one of my mom’s women’s magazines like Good Housekeeping or something.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? I think this would go back to my iPhone fiasco earlier this year. It was truly mortifying:
http://theflirtyguide.blogspot.com/2008/02/i-love-my-iphone-but.html
3.)What is your favorite song? The Heart of the Matter by Don Henley
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? No preference
)
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? The Turtle.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Pastries of all shapes, sizes and flavors!
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? (Yes) If so, do they read? (Yes) Do they make fun of you for blogging? (Sometimes) Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? (Lol no, I just poke him in the side and tickle him)
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? I’m kind of like that kid in “The Sixth Sense” but instead of seeing dead people? I always see possibilities.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? Hmmmm as a little kid it would be Mr Rogers’ Neighborhood.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? For inspiration? The Good Life or Extreme Homes. Both were on HGTV a decade ago. Just for fun? Sex and the City, Seinfeld, or News Radio… I can’t decide
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Sometimes but I just figure they’re just really busy and keep reading.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ? I couldn’t dream up half of the stuff you write about. That’s what keeps me coming back. LOL

1.) I’m sure I did. Probably to something ridiculous too, but I can’t remember so the idea mustn’t have stuck. My husband always wished his parents had named him Eugene, go figure…
2.) Ah geez, you mean everything that comes out of my mouth?
3.) I am not qualified to answer this question.
4.) It’s nice to get a comment response, but seriously? Every comment? You should do what works for you. I respond to comments in the comments section so other readers thinking the same can share in the conversation.
5.) Me.
6.) Sleeping in til 7. Maybe 7:30, ooohh.
7.) My husband knows about it but mostly acts like it doesn’t exist. Although he does help me take photos before dinner so we can get to the chow faster.
8.) I think I am friendly, I hope other people think so too.
9.) I am sure some assinine cartoon. I was a idiot then too.
10.) Can I jut say I want Tim Russert back? I know his show wasn’t cancelled but I haven’t been able to watch the news since he died.
11.) How do you get snubbed by a blogger? Do I not know the rules? Dammit…
12.) I really enjoy your writing. I am glad you commented on my website because it led me back here. I was once 23 with a 3 year-old and now I am 26 with a 6 year old, 3 year old and 6 month old. People still ask me how old I am when I tell them the baby is #3. Would love to swap rude people stories, recipes, and kid antics.

1.) Yes, I wanted to be named Cinzia Rinaldi (apparently my last name wasn’t goo enough, either).
2.) Recently, while talking to some new acquaintances at a friend’s picnic, I used the word “retarded” to say “stupid” (a charming habit I got from my best friend) and felt like melting in a puddle because after I had pronounced the guilty, non-PC word I realized I had said it to someone who has a sister with Down Syndrome.
3.) right now… hmmm… I think I have to go with “Apologize” by Timbaland and OneRepublic. In general, it would be something by NoDoubt or by Coldplay, depending on my mood.
4.) No, I don’t really care, LOL
5.) Neither. They will get tired, give up and go out to grab a bit to eat together. Insects, mostly.
6.) Reading British Chick Lit while munching on Whole Foods’ miniature whole wheat crackers.
7.) Yes, he does. I don’t know if he reads it – I have printed out some stuff for him to read before when I thought he might enjoy it, and one time to get his viewpoint before publishing my post. He’s happy that it makes me happy. He knows I always wanted to write and he’s happy I found an outlet of some sort I think.
8.) I am very good to my friends.
9.) Anything Loony Tunes: the Road Runner, Tweeitie and Sylvester, Duffy Duck, you name it.
10.) Dark Angel – such a misunderstood, underappreciated show!
11.) Not by a blogger, but on a reviewer on my LinkTraffic account. He had one of the ugliest shopping websites I have ever seen, but he apparently thought mine was worse.

1. I’ve never actually wanted to change my name, per se, I just wish my middle name WAS my first name, since that’s what I go by.
2. To Josh: “Maybe it’s all the red meat you ate.”
3. “Young at Heart” by Frank Sinatra
4. Only if you want to
5. The turtle. Because he is impenetrable. The frog will eventually die of exhaustion.
6. I am SO in love with the Jonas Brothers right now. There music is GOOD!
7. Josh is not aware of my current blog. I gave him my old one, then realized it was a mistake and made a new one. Not because I write things I don’t want him to read all the time, but because it just makes me feel awkward and I don’t want to write. So I don’t tell him so as not to inhibit myself from blogging freely. I’ll probably show him someday.
8. I’m not dramatic, like a lot of women (specifically, all the other women in my family). I know when to let things go.
9. My favorite show as a kid was Rugrats. I absolutely loved and wanted to be Angelica.
10. I would bring back the short-lived Life as We Know It. You know, the one with Kelly Osbourne? It was good!
11. I guess I’ve sometimes felt ignored by the owners of blogs I frequently comment at, but I don’t really get upset. I keep reading, if the blog is still good.
12. I think you should blog about rabbits, bullets, and other funny names for vibrators.

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? As I child, I did change my name. In 1st grade I changed my name to Annie. Not legally, of course, but I wrote it on all my school papers, signed cards that way…my teacher said I was being creative.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? “When is your baby due?” (The said baby was born 2 months prior).
3.)What is your favorite song? Seriously, no way to pick one. Some include “Downeaster Alexa” by Billy Joel, “Champagne High” by Sister Hazel, “Your Mother Should Know” by the Beatles, “Pinch Me” by Barenaked Ladies…
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? I love comments!
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? The frog, because he’ll hop away.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Pedicures
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? Boyfriend, and yes, he does. He can’t make fun, because he has his own widely read blog, and it’s his fault I blog.
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? My sense of humor
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? Cosby Show – because it’s the only one I really watched
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Ooo….tough. Maybe Fraiser? I loved the writing of that show.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Yes, I have. I switched to reading only occasionally and never posting. I have, however, gotten called out in a very mean way in my own comments section about a post I wrote, and I responded via email to that.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?) Ummm…I don’t know? I just started reading you so I don’t know what you’ve already covered! I like how you balance mom things with real life things though.

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. I decided to be Elisabeth. I even put it on a college application, but never did change my name legally. So when I graduated, there was my fake name on my diploma!
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
Told some new grandparents that since the baby looked like their son, the baby would be okay looking.
3.)What is your favorite song? It changes from decade to decade.
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? Email since I rarely go back and read old comments.
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? The frog has such a short attention span it won’t really matter.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Sometimes I fall into a deep sleep right in the middle of the bed after my husband has left for work and the kids for school. It’s the best sleep of my life.
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? Yes, Yes, No, and yes because he likes to critique it. It does get ugly.
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? I’m compassionate for a minute or two.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why?The Partridge Family.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? ??
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Yes, to a small degree. Just stopped reading.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?) I LOVE your observations on the mundane routines of life the rest of us think about but rarely discuss (visits to the privates doctor !)

1. Yes, I wanted to change my name. Bobbi is a nickname for an even worse first name, and I got picked on a lot for it. But, I could never think of another name that would “fit” me.
2. Hmm… I believe asking if penises had bones in them before I had taken sex ed?
3. Right now, it’s that new Duffy Song – I think it’s called Mercy.
4. Email, puhlease
5. Turtle! He’s got the hard shell that he can use against the frog and to protect himself.
6. Tiramisu – god I love the stuff but it is SO BAD.
7. Yes, he knows about it. I don’t think he reads it on a daily basis. I think he thinks it’s kind of weird – why would I want to share my life with random, online strangers? He doesn’t make fun of me though.
8. I’m a very good listener and if you ever need advice, I’m your girl (I guess that was two).
9. Mork and Mindy was syndicated when I was a kid, but that was my favorite – I loved it because it was always on for an hour right before bed!
10. Home Improvement for SURE!
11. I have. I keep reading, but I have always wondered, “what did I ever do to you?”
12. Just keep writing like you do – full of humor – it cracks me up every time I read!

1. I wanted to change my name to Gwen. I read the a book about King Arthur, and I was hooked!
2. I once told a group of teenagers that “It’s important to get your fingers into every pie.” A metaphor gone terribly wrong!
3. Favorite song: Hurt by Nine Inch Nails (I also enjoy the Johnny Cash version)
4. I enjoy emails because I don’t often re-check comment sections.
5. The frog. He’ll hope away, and the slow-ass turtle will still be sitting there. “Where the hell did he go?”
6. My guilty pleasure is junk food. Salty chips, homemade french onion dip, and guacamole. I want to shove it all in my mouth and lick my fingers.
7. My blog is unknown to friends/family/boyfriend. They’re only privvy to my livejournal.
8. I am HYSTERICALLY funny! I keep my friends laughing all day. I even crack myself up
9. Ooh.. tough choice. I was a HUGE fan of Rainbow Brite. She had a great attitude, and a unicorn. I had the doll version of her, and despite the rock-hard plastic head, I *insisted* on cuddling with it every night.
10. Without hestitation: THE WEST WING. I was hooked. I had to keep reminding myself that it wasn’t REAL, because he was such a good Prez.
11. I keep my blog small, so no snubbing. I don’t advertise or shout-out, so competition isn’t an issue. I find that rather silly, actually. If you don’t like me, don’t read me.
12. Selfishly, I’d like to hear more about you and your hubby. How it all happened, how you decided to marry and have kids. I’ll admit I haven’t read every post in your blog, so it’s possible you’ve already covered this.

Hey – the Weekly Winners never told me there would be a test!!
1.) Yes. I liked my middle name better because it sounded more romantic then “Susan”. (it’s Yvonne). I was the only one in all my years of school to have Susan, so I thought my parents named me something pretty dumb. Now I’m part of the Susan’s Club in my neighborhood – because there is 5 of us!
2.) Starting from when? I always say something humiliating.
3.) This will date me – anything by Madonna.
4.) Comments. Gotta love those comments!
5.) Turtle
6.) Hey – I barely know you.
7.) Yes. Yes, No and No. I don’t mind that he reads it – but now I can’t trash talk his mom like I used to.
8.) I’m a great listener. Even if I don’t want to be.
9.) Fantasy Island – where your fantasy came true!
10.) Journeyman – our family just loved this show.
11.) Yes, but I laugh and check back once in awhile because the drama is just too funny.
12.) More quizzes?
Great photos! It looks like so much fun!

1. My name is Chasity. One T. No one could pronounce it, my peers called me ChasTITY, and so my answer is yes,yes,please yes. I wanted to be a Sarah, or Amy, or Julie- anything normal that people could say. By 18, it had grown on me. Now I don’t even bother to correct anyone. I say, “Just call me Chas.”
2. I don’t talk. I’m too shy in social situations, so nothing stands out.
3. Indigo Girls – Devotion
4. Email
5. The frog by leaps and bounds. I’m sorry, I had to.
6. My guilty pleasure is Starbucks Caramel Frappucino. The full one. I usually order the light version now though.
7. My husband blogs too. After 9pm most nights in my living room you will hear, “Posted.” “Me too.” “I’ll show you mine if you’ll show me yours.”
8. My best personality feature is that I’m nice/sweet. Perhaps too much.
9. Growing Pains was my favorite show. Kirk Cameron. “Nuff said.
10. Touching Evil
11. I haven’t been blogging long enough to feel snubbed yet, but I’m sure at some point I will.
12. I like random subjects, it keeps a reader guessing. Plus it leaves a wide open venue for inspiration. But humorous stories are always good with me.

1.) When we moved from California to Oregon my brother changed his name to “Corey” (not legally though), and I wanted to be called Samantha, but they had already given my name to the school, so I couldn’t.
2.) I must have blocked it from my mind cause I don’t know.. but the most embarrassing thing I’ve written was a note to a friend of mine in Jr. High that said a boys name and then “He will be mine, oh yes, he will be mine” and the teacher read it in front of the class (which he was also in)
3.)Really REALLY depends on my mood, but I’d say if I could only pick one it would be Fighter by Christina Aguilera… I just get so pumped when I listen to that song.
4.) Email is fine
5.) Totally the turtle… they are ninjas you know!
6.) Cheesy ABC Family Original movies… I LOVE THOSE!
7.) Yes, my spouse knows, he is pretty supportive, although he does not read it. He has written me a couple posts though!
8.) My loyalty to my family.
9.) Depends on how far back we are looking. When I think “kid” I’d say probably around 8 years old or something, so I think I’m going to say Jem, she was truely outrageous!
10.) There are two that I don’t think got their fair shake. Tru Calling and Do Over. I have other favorite shows, but I think they all had a good run, and I have the DVD’s to relive the good times, but those just never got a chance.
11.) I don’t think I’ve ever been “snubbed” but there is one particular blogger that I don’t understand their popularity, and I refuse to read them.
12.) Nope

9.) I can’t get the Snorks, Smurfs, Flintstones and Jetsons out of my mind. Loved them!
10.) I’m not positive it’s cancelled by Private Practice.

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.) No. I really like my name. It is unique for a girl. Besides, I was named after my great grandmother. Also, Mom later told me the other family names she had considered, one being Iceaphina. I felt pretty lucky.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? Actually, it wasn’t me, it was a patient. We do eye exams and instead of asking if we do comprehensive retinal exams, she asked if we do comprehensive rectal exams. I felt pretty embarrassed for her.
3.)What is your favorite song? Ohh, that’s a tough one. A lot? Actually, Bellamy Brothers “Old Hippy”. My Dad to a T.
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? Comments. Things tend to get lost in my email.
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? Turtle, it can hide.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Horror novels. Vampires and werewolves, especially. Give me L.A. Banks or Laurell K. Hamilton and I won’t budge till I finish.
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? He does, and yes he thinks it silly. But I’ve blogged for going on thirteen years, so it’s been a part of my life longer than him.
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? Everyone says my eyes? I’m told I have an old-world appearance by a bunch of people. Not quite sure I’ve ever understood that.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? She-Ra, He-Man’s twin sister. She totally kicked butt.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? The O.C. I really don’t know. I was just addicted to this show.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Not really.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all)? You do quite well on your own. I love your quirkiness.

Your little girl is so cute! Is there anything better than being a kid in the summertime? I don’t think so.
I LOVE Q&A posts and reading everyone’s answers! Here are mine:
1.) I H.A.T.E.D. “Jennifer” growing up since there were no less than eight of us in any given location at once. When I was confirmed and had to pick a new name I wanted to be re-christened “Patrice” SO BAD. PATRICE. Why? I have absolutely no idea. Needless to say, my mother nixed the idea. I actually know a girl named “America” (Amy for short) and you know what? It totally works for her.
2.) My God, I’ve said entirely too many stupid things to pick just one. I am completely mortified when I have to ask someone to remind me what their name is, like I couldn’t be bothered to remember it in the first place, so here I am, asking again! Ugh.
3.) I have so many that I just can’t narrow it down. How about I tell you what my least favorite songs are? ANYTHING by Drivin’ and Cryin’ makes me want to commit atrocities. The lead singer’s voice just sends me over the edge. I also have to avoid “Miss You Much” by Janet Jackson thanks to an unfortunate dance team incident in 1990.
4.) I love to get personal email(s) from other bloggers. It makes me feel all special and shit.
5.) Dude, those snappy, pissy turtles are lightning quick when someone pisses them off. Turtle in six rounds.
6.) good cheese, Vanity Fair, expensive makeup and being a complete lazy ass reading the Sunday Times and drinking mimosas.
7.) My husband has no idea about my blog. He cares very little about what I do in my spare time so I never bothered to tell him that I have one. Seriously, I could spend my days injecting rat poison in between my toes and he wouldn’t bat an eye.
8.) I’ve been told that I’m funny. I think I have a great sense of humor but am not particularly funny.
9.) I loved “Facts of Life”. I never had sisters or a whole bunch of good girl friends so I would always pretend that the “Facts” girls were my friends. LAME.
10.) Without question, I wish “Arrested Development” would come back. “Freaks and Geeks” and “Undeclared” would also be great to have back as well.
11.) I’m a frequent commenter on a blog that I just love and she’s never contacted me. Whatever though, people are busy and don’t have time to personally reply to every single comment. I won’t stop reading and don’t take any offense.
12.) Um, I still want to hear Part II of the story about the guy who dropped a deuce on your couch!

I see, you want US to entertain YOU for a change. hmmmm
1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? I mainly remember thinking my name sounded too masculine (pronounced RAY) so I made every call me “RAY-AH”, so to this day people call me one or the other.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? GOD only knows. I’m sure I’ve said a ton of them. I’d prefer not to rehash them, thank you very much!!
3.)What is your favorite song? I have so many. Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield, Hips Don’t Lie by Shakira, NUMB by Portishead…
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? I do like responses, but I understand if you can’t all the time. Email is probably better because I don’t subscribe to your comment section because there are just too many comments, you popular biotch!!
)
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? The frog’s been training longer (I have some insider info.) and I put my money on him. The turtle isn’t in it to win it.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Blogging, Target, Chai Tea from Starbucks, books, books and more books (of any kind!)
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? Yes, god, how could he not?! He knows but doesn’t read it and makes a little fun of it. I try to tell him about it or people’s blogs I enjoy, so he’ll understand more and see I’m not cheating on him. lol
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? I’m honest and truly friendly and nice. too nice. I have a hard time saying no and don’t tend to stick up for myself enough…but I’m working on that. IN fact, I don’t want to answer these questions damnit. So, there, take that. Let’s see YOU answer them.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? I didn’t watch TV shows as a kid. I grew up on a ranch and my parents chose for us not to have TV. I did watch movies occasionally. I read a lot of books and played a lot with my barbies.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Dresden Files. I Loved the books and the show was fun.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? I get frustrated when other bloggers don’t observe the proper etiquette that I think they should know. But, maybe their mothers just didn’t teach them manners, I Just don’t know. When someone visits me, I visit them back. When someone comments, I try to respond. Just niceness rules.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future hmmmm….no, you seem to be doing just fine. I enjoy your blog, thanks for sharing your life with us!

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.)
I wanted my name to be Stephanie for a long time. Then it was Shelby (which I later named one of my girls) and there was also an Elizabeth phase.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
I truly wouldn’t know how to pick just one thing. I say embarrassing things all the time!
3.)What is your favorite song?
who can pick just one? currently, it’s Gunpowder & Lead by Miranda Lambert.
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care?
either way is great with me.
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win?
the turtle, simply because I love turtles. and they could probably squish the frog with their shell.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure?
watching crap on tv and spending time online.
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do?
he knows about my blog, he doesn’t read but sometimes I show him posts. he doesn’t make fun of me.
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise?
I am loyal and I’d do anything for a good friend.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why?
Growing Pains, I had a crush on Kirk Cameron. I also loved Addams Family.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why?
Once & Again, because it didn’t end, it just got cancelled. And I LOVED the show.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?
I have felt snubbed, and how I respond depends on the blog. If it’s a blog I love, I’ll still read. Otherwise, I’ll stop. I won’t email, that’s just not my style.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?)

1. As a child did you ever want to change your name? Yes, I hated my name. It’s a fairly normal name but it just has an odd spelling and so nobody ever pronounced it correctly. And my middle name I thought was just horrid. What I wanted it to be depended on my mood, but usually it was a more common name like Tammy or Amanda or Jennifer. But there was this one girl and I really looked up to her and her name was Francesca but everyone called her “Cesca” and I thought that was sooooo coooool. Sometimes I wanted to be a Cesca.
2. What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said? When we were still dating, I once asked The Man how to say burrito in Spanish.
3. What is your favorite song? Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts.
4. Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? It’s okay with me if you don’t respond. If I want you to respond I would e-mail you.
5. A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? The frog cuz the turtle has a hard outer shell to protect him.
6. What is your guilty pleasure? TV shows on E! or MTV. And food.
7. Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? The Man NEVER makes fun of me for blogging. He knows I blog and he reads it. If he ever made fun of it I would poke HIS eyes out! And then I’d tell our therapist and The Man would be in really big trouble.
8. What is your best feature, personality wise? I’m sarcastic.
9. Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? Friends. It started when I was a kid even though it ended after I was an adult.
10. If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Jack and Jill (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0207889/). IT WAS SO GOOD.
11. Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? I never felt snubbed by a blogger who commented to me. I probably have felt snubbed by someone’s blogging because I disagreed with what they said and yes I probably stopped reading it. But I didn’t let it get to me – it’s their blog, they can write whatever they want!
12. Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future? I love your blog just the way it is. I’m sure anything you come up with for future writing will be just lovely!

First of all-GORGEOUS winners!!! You have a beautiful subject
I am so coming back to READ all of these!!!
1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.) I wanted to be named STAR or ROBIN. I have no idea why.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? There is a long story related this about Oral S . . . if I had a different type of blog, I would so blog about it.
3.)What is your favorite song? Too many to list . . .
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? Whichever is easist for you . . .
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? The turtle. It had a hard shell.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Eating chocolate, watching reality TV
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? Mine knows about it and makes fun of me ALL the time. He doesn’t get it, but he’s cool with me doing it. As long as I am not TOO revealing–which is why I don’t post nekkid pics of myself . . . at least not ones you can SEE.
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? I’m generous and patient. I don’t think I always am, but that’s what I’m told.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? I didn’t really have one. I wasn’t allowed to watch TV much at all. I read all the time. This might have contributed to my DORK status in school.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Probably Friends or maybe Cheers, I mean, they weren’t exactly cancelled, but they did go off the air.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? No, not really. I don’t think I’m controversial enough to be snubbed.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ? Just keep writing what you are writing . . . your current material is what drew me (and kept me here) to your blog in the first place!

How can I pick? Sheesh. I’m constantly saying things that *should* be embarrassing. The problem? I’m only just starting to think, “Why the H did you just say that?”.

4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care?
Oh, geeze, another difficult question. My kid is sitting behind me trying to remove the child proof cap from the Prozac. Good thing the bottle is empty.

His only concern is that I don’t blog about him. Heh.
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? There are so many to choose from.

9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? 90210. Isn’t that self explanatory?

12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? I read a book when I was little, and the main character’s name was Primrose. I wanted that name for so long, but then I decided I would name my first child that. THANK GOD I didn’t. But overall, I loved my name b/c my mom said she named me after the author Danielle Steele, and I just like the thought.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? Um, I really can’t think of an answer for this one!
3.)What is your favorite song? I am not a person that can have just ONE favorite of anything, so…..I’d have to say right now my favorite song is that Duffy song ‘Mercy’.
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? Email, because I can’t ever go back to every single blog i comment on!
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? The turtle!
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Pastries, cake, cupcakes! On a weekly basis!
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? He knows I have one, and he’s only read it 3 times, when I said ‘hey, read this’. I don’t even think he knows where to find it! Most of the time he doesn’t say a word about it, but every once in awhile, when something happens, he will say ‘Are you gonna go blog about that?’
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? I am loyal!
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? Punky Brewster and The Wonder Years. Need I say why??
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Hmmm….again, I can’t pick just ONE of anything! But I’ll try: Probably Studio 60 because my hubby loved it and I liked to watch it with him.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? I don’t think I have.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future? Hmmmm…..I don’t know! Sorry, it’s Monday and I’m not very idea-saavy right now!

6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Coke in a can, which I consume once a day. I guess that isn’t a guilty pleasure then, is it? Ok, then CHEESE!!!!
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? I don’t have a blog, though I really do want to start one. I just don’t know where to start. Until then, I live vicariously through the blogs of others, like you!!!
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? I am very up front and honest. I guess that can also be a bad thing though.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? TV Family Sitcoms: The Cosby Show, Family Ties, Growing Pains, Full House. I just loved how fun those families were and as 1 of only 2 children who were 6 years apart, I longed for more siblings!
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Freaks and Geeks. That show wasn’t given enough time!
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Nope, never snubbed by a blogger.

I have too many…one of them;
This one time at band practice, we were learning a new piece (all the drummers) and I had just been there for a month or so, only girl and the youngest in a group aging 17 (me) to 28. The instructor asked if I got it (the rhythm). I said, “I know how to do it, I just don’t know how to get it!”

probably email but I’m easy…see #2

yes! he does, just to make sure everything is correct. surprisingly he doesn’t make that much fun of me although he doesn’t “believe in blog”…those were his exact words!
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise?
my ‘natural high on life’…possibly, or would that be my sense of humour.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why?
I was a huge fan of Dukes of Hazard! Huge reason why I thought moving to GA was cool…that’ll teach me! Degrassi (the origianl Canadian teen soap) was also great!
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why?
I loved that show American Dreams. I’m a huge fan of the 50’s/60’s and bandstand
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?
Not yet! But truthfully I don’t know what I would do!

I don’t have a spouse. I have guy friends that read it and a few ex boyfriends who do too. They don’t make fun of me because they like what I write and know better than to tell me otherwise! Haha. Besides, compared to some of the things I COULD do? Blogging isn’t much poke fun of worthy.

12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?
Not that I can think of now, but I’m still working on reading all the previous posts so if I come up with something I’ll let you know?

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.)
Not even kidding, my friend’s mom’s name is America!
Ok, I wanted to change my name to Tanya. I have no idea why..
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
While eating at a restaurant in Oxford, England, I made a comment about a waiter (who was h-o-t)..I said something like “I wish I could take him back to the states with me..” and I said it quietly to my friends. As we’re leaving he said “I’d love to go back with you, but I don’t think I’d fit in your luggage” and winked. Very embarrassing.
3.)What is your favorite song?
“quiet mind” by blue october
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care?
Either or.

12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?

You are going to be reading these comments for a long, long time. but here’s mine.
1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.)
I always wanted a nickname. A cool one. Like ‘Corky’. I liked the idea of being called ‘Corky’. Instead of the nickname I did have. Which, BTW, I did not deserve. Fatboy.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
“Oh, just fuck her and get it over with.” as the bride and groom danced the first dance at the reception and they were all close and grinding up against each other. Apparently, whereas I thought I had THOUGHT it, I actually SAID it out loud, slightly inebriated as I was. And rather loudly, at that.
3.)What is your favorite song?
“Cat’s in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care?
Don’t care, either way. Just respond. Because I feel neglected and rejected when you don’t. Or I would if you didn’t. Because I’m insecure and I need reinforcement. from you. Directly.
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win?
Frog. Because he’s quick.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure?
I don’t think you REALLY want to know the answer to this one.
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do?
Yes, she does and No, she doesn’t.
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise?
I’m emotional.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why?
Howdy Doody. Because it was better than Garfield Goose.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why?
A-Team. ‘Cause Hannibal was cool. And George Peppard needs the work.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?
Several. And yes, I have quit reading some. After all, it’s not about ‘you’, it’s about ‘us’, ALL of ‘us’.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?
Again, I’m not sure you REALLY want me to answer that.

1.) In the 4th grade, I learned that my great-grandfather changed his last name (Charles) to his step-father’s last name (my current LN). I found this info rather romantic and dreamed of changing my name to “Lynne Charles.” That “e” at the end was ever important and I signed school papers with this name. Now I find the name “Lynne” ghastly.

8.) My creativity, I suppose.
9.) 90210- Dillon was a dream!

1. Nope, never wanted to change my name. That’s because I’ve always been Ron which comes from middle name of Byron, so I’ve never been called my true name.
2. None stands out ’cause there have been many, but that’s my nature.
3. Rodeo by Garth Brooks, mainly because that’s what turned my daughter onto Country when she was 10.
4. E-Mail
5. A Turtle, ’cause they’ll never stop comin’ at ya.
6. Creme Brulee, homemade of course.
7. No spouse, no problem.
8. My Sense of Humor.
9. Hmmmm, favorite TV show as a kid? Man from U.N.C.L.E. (dating myself here, I’m sure) They just were the coolest characters on TV, is why.
10. That’s EASY! Taxi, Taxi, Taxi, Best Sitcom ever, I still laugh out loud when I even REMEMBER an episode, much less ever watch one.
11. Nope, and in fact when I do send an email to a blogger, I’m amazed how many actually write back.
12. Nothing in particular. Have you ever read the Pioneer Woman Blog? She takes some interesting lines of blogging regarding her husband and family.

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.) It wasn’t so much that I wanted to change the name I use (which is kim) but it is my middle name and our family moved A LOT and i was always VERY SHY and had to say OVER AND OVER YEAR AFTER YEAR that while *that* *is* my name, I go by my middle name….and I just always hated that.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? There is no way to narrow it down to one most embarrassing thing…I think the times I’ve commented on how people look (obviously not in a positive way) and belatedly realized they were within earshot are the moments that make me cringe the most in retrospect…I guess the time I made a joke about the kind of people who get pregnant without being married to a girl WHO WAS CURRENTLY PREGNANT AND NOT MARRIED is the most embarrassing moment…she had the grace not to be angry with me about it but after that I had trouble making eye contact with her
3.)What is your favorite song? Full Circle, Aerosmith
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? depends on what is said, but mostly comments section works for me
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? turtle, because even though the frog in theory could hop away he’s not bright enough to turn tail and hop away and the turtle will manage to smash him with his hard shell
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? buttercream frosting on brownies
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? mildly aware and no, has never read it and hopefully it will stay that way but mostly i avoid mentioning him so if he does, he won’t find any newsflashes there…
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? the ability to see humor in most everything
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? Partridge Family, not only because David was cute, I liked the idea of a family with kids who got to sing in a band
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? this answer will cause me to lose any credibility i have potentially gained in the last 9 questions, but I liked the Jeremy Piven show “Cupid” and hated that it was canceled as well as the new “Fantasy Island” that was very entertaining…and I still miss 30something
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Yeah, I’ve been linked and then suddenly unlinked without explanation and I’ve wondered if something I posted rubbed them the wrong way…I’ve never emailed anyone to confront them about something like that…but I might have unlinked someone who unlinked me…which seems slightly petty now that i think about it
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ? this is my first visit so i need to see what you’ve covered before i suggest something…but you can’t go wrong blogging about birth stories….hahahahaha

2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? i have two. The first? “I would never name my kid something effeminate, like…(the name of the son of the guy to whom I was speaking at the time.)” Second, well, that would be a couple of weeks ago, when I dropped the F bomb on my son. He DESERVED it, but, still. I should know better.

Rocky & Bullwinkle. Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat! Again?
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?
Yes I did. But having her call me all kinds of crazy names just made me laugh.

1. Amazingly I liked my name. Probably because my best friend hated hers so much, I felt like I lucked out. And Marianne is not so far from Marie, as in Marie Osmond, so…score.
2. I can’t remember exactly what I said that was so embarrassing, I just know I was trying to be funny to DAVID SEDARIS. And I failed. Miserably. Never drink too much wine before meeting a literary idol.
3. Favorite song today is Pitseleh by Elliott Smith. Will be something different tomorrow.
4. Either is fine.
5. I know a turtle who recently survived a fight with a racoon, so I have to go with the turtle. Tough little critters.
6. My guilty pleasure is the Gilmore Girls and massive amounts of cheesy pasta when my husband is out of town.
7. My spouse knows about my blog, but stopped making fun of me when he had to be out of town for a long time and was happy to be able to read my silly posts whenever he wanted. Now he offers to help all the time.
8. I think my best feature is my laid-back attitude. Which I think I have most of the time.
9. My favorite TV show as a kid was Facts of Life. I wore my hair like Jo Polniaczek for years.
10. I would totally bring back My So Called Life, but only if all the actors could be that young and awkward again. They made me feel so normal.
11. I don’t think I’ve ever felt snubbed by a blogger. I only read a few religiously, and I’m terrible about commenting, so nothing ventured…
12. I’m new to your blog, so I’ll have to let you know…

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.)
America is a cool name. I wanted to change my name to Frankie. it’s my dad’s name, and when my mom was pregnant, they kept telling her she was having a boy. My mom was stubborn and named me Frankie Jr. even though I was a girl.
My family made her change it.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
I have a crush on the guy in the office down the hall from me. I used to call him to flirt, so one day I called and started flirting HARD CORE…turns out it WASN’T HIM!! it was the Chief Judicial Officer.
3.)What is your favorite song? Nadie Como Ella by Marc Anthony (or JLo’s husband *gag*@ referring to him like that, but most ppl have no idea who he is)
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care?
it doesn’t matter to me. I’ve been super busy lately so I haven’t read this blog since February (right before your birthday and my trip to Puerto Rico where I had a few drinks in your honor), but I always tell ppl how great I think it is that u respond to every comment. I’m glad to be back!
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win?
the turtle. his body is hard and he snaps. besides, the frog will probably use up most of his energy jumping around while the turtle is hiding. when the frog is worn out, the turtle will kick his butt!
6.) What is your guilty pleasure?
false eyelashes!! I am so addicted to having my lashes done. Even though spend $80 per month and not being able to properly wash my eyes is a pain in the butt, I feel like a corpse without them.
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do?
I’m single, but my ex always said that chicks weren’t that interesting when it came to writing or telling jokes…or doing anything besides cooking and cleaning, so he rarely read my blog. he’s an EX for a reason!
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise?
most people say I’m funny. I don’t think so, but I’ll take the compliment! it’s weird…when I think I’m being funny, nobody laughs and when I tell a joke thats not so funny, they crack up!
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why?
I was addicted to Saved by the Bell. I had the BIGGEST crush on Zach!!
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why?
I miss Friends, but that show kinda ran it’s course. Seinfeld was like the greatest show ever, but it wasn’t ripped off the air. Both of those shows ended gracefully. I’d probably say Six Degrees. it was only on for half of a season before the strike. they started doing online episodes only and then killed it right when things were getting juicy. I miss seeing Jay Hernandez on my tv screen too.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?
I don’t remember, so if it happened, I couldn’t have been TOO offended. I’m a major grudge holder and I’d remember.

Most embarrassing thing? See sentence above. Seriously. Big mistake.
Fave song? Ya kiddin’? Too many to name!!
E-mail response, turtle (hides in shell til frog gives up), di!do.
Yes, spouse knows about the blog. Mixed results but mostly supportive.
Best personality feature – only have a personality when drunk. That count?
Fave TV show? Currently Scrubs
TV show to bring back? Northern Exposure. It was delightfully quirky.
No blogger snub (yet anyway). And yes, I’d quit reading.
Write more about…not sure cause I’m new here. But I’ll go with sex. That’s always a good answer.

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.)
Yes! I always wanted to change my name to Meggie- from The Thorn Birds.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
Can’t recall.
3.)What is your favorite song?
Currently it’s an old favorite- Sullivan Street by the Counting Crows
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care?
Comment if you have email follow up otherwise email.
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win?
Oh that poor little turtle will lose.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure?
Chocolate Chip Cookies.
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do?
My spouse is ALWAYS talking about my blog. I think he’s so surprised that I have figured out hosting and code and all that. He doesn’t read it though. When I asked him why- he looked at me and said, you blog about our life right? Right.
Then why do I need to read about it? I just lived it!
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise?
Empathy.
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why?
Mash- I loved the medical scenes.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why?
Northern Exposure. The characters were so rich and lively. I also loved the location!
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh?
Yes all the time. But I’m not sure if that’s on purpose. I emailed one in particular and she never responded. Also I never see an acknowledgment in her comment section that she’s read the comments. I figure at some point you get too big. What do you think. You seem to get A LOT of comments. Do you get back to them or respond in the comment section? Does it get to be too much. How many do you visit?
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ?
I want to know more about Divine Caroline. Is it a good group? I signed up but I seem to have a lot to do just to post to my blog. Do people visit you from there?
Thanks for the questions!! I’ll be back. You seem to really interact with your readers. I find that it’s rare these days.

1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? (Because one time, I wanted to change mine to America.)
Oh yes, I wanted to be Millie when I was very little, and then I wanted to change the spelling to something cooler, like Jayne. Now I love me name, it fits me.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ?
Oh man, there are so many. The first that comes to mind it talking to a young Jewish guy that just moved to the South from Long Island, and telling him you could “Jew him down” about a price. Gah.
3.)What is your favorite song?
Ain’t Life Grand by Widespread Panic, Ripple by the Grateful Dead
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? I don’t really care, although since I hardly ever get comments on my blog it is like a major rush to see one there.
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win?
Turtle, baby! Although I’m already feeling sorry for the frog.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure?
Reading blogs at work while listening to Salt ‘N Pepa Very Neccessary
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do?
He does know about it, and even told me a few days ago that he thought I wrote well. But there are plenty of other times that I would like to poke his eyes out.
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise?
I would like to say my sense of humor, no one else may agree…
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? So, so hard. We didn’t watch tons of TV, but I would say Mork and Mindy. It was really funny, and my parents would laugh at it too!
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Campus Ladies, no question.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Not so much snubbed, as just turned off by certain elements, one blogger I can think of was incredibly critical of where she lived, everything her husband did, her inlaws did, etc, and I just got tired of reading the negativity day after day. So I stopped reading, it is HER blog, after all!
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all?
I’m not sure, I haven’t been reading a really long time, but I’m really enjoying what I’ve read so far!

Hi–I’m new here. I love finding blogs that are new to me…thank you for coming by my blog & “introducing” yourself to me. I love posts with questions to answer! Here goes:
1.) As a child did you ever want to change your name? If yes, what did you want to change it to. If no, why did you enjoy your name so much? I didn’t mind Christy b/c it wasn’t as common as other names, but I did at one point think I wanted to change my name to Darcy…no, I’m not kidding. I don’t know–I was weird.
2.) What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever said ? I’ve said so many embarrassing things that I don’t even remember half of them.
3.)What is your favorite song? “I’m Yours” by Jason Mraz
4.) Would you like me to respond to your comment via email or the comments section? or do you even care? E-mail
5.) A turtle and a frog are in a fight, who will win? Hopefully they won’t fight b/c ‘can’t we all just get along?’ but the turtle would totally think he could take the frog, but he’d accidentally roll over & get stuck on his back. It would be over from there.
6.) What is your guilty pleasure? Reading blogs and watching “The Biggest Loser” (it’s the only show I watch)
7.) Does your spouse know about your blog? If so, do they read? Do they make fun of you for blogging? Do you want to poke their eyes out when and if they do? He knows, he reads…sometimes he comments. He’s actually very supportive of the blog b/c he knows I want to be a writer & he thinks I have some talent, however, that doesn’t stop him from commenting on how much time I spend on the computer (he’s one to talk though.)
8.) What is your best feature, personality wise? I like to think that I am kind to everyone (it’s certainly my goal.)
9.) Favorite Tv Show as a Kid? Why? Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley, & Mork & Mindy….Because whatever nights those were on those were the nights I was allowed to stay up & watch tv.
10.) If you could bring back one canceled television show, which would it be and why? Friends–well, I guess it wasn’t cancelled, but that was the only show I ever watched pretty faithfully.
11.) Have you ever felt snubbed by a blogger? If so, did you quit reading? Did you email or did you just laugh? Sort-of–I tagged someone for a meme one time when I just barely started my blog. And although she obliged, she made it clear how ridiculous she thought they were. I apologized for tagging her (as I didn’t know it was “inappropriate” to do so, but I stopped reading. I wasn’t that attached to her blog anyway.
12.) Is there any subject you would like to see me write about in the future (don’t be scared, all ? I don’t know…I’m interested in most anything people write about themselves (I guess that’s why I love reading blogs and memoirs, etc.) I also like it when people write about other blogs they’ve found or what they read. It’s a great way to find some new sites.
