It’s Interview Time

The awesomely awesome Stacie, from Stacie’s Madness offered to send me some interview questions. I tried… REALLY I DID… I tried to be serious and answer these questions in a professional manner but… DUDE!! So not me. So you’re gonna get this in true Chris fashion. Translated…. It’s a jacked up interview and I’m just as lame as ever. Heheee…

1) What is your greatest achievement?
I’m very proud of the fact that I can take my children out into the world and no killing will occur. I will not want to kill them. They will not try to kill each other. And I won’t feel like killing myself.

And speaking of kids, I gave birth to all 5 of them without a drop of pain killers. Not by choice, mind you. But I did it just the same. According to the doctor who you can hear in the background of the video that I took 2 minutes after Frogger was born, I’m a very strong lady.

But seriously, my only real achievement that I can think of, is that at age 25, I bought my house outright. That’s right. I don’t owe a penny on it. I also own all of my vehicles.

2) If you could do ONE thing over in your life what would it be? If you wouldn’t redo, why not?
That chicken I ate yesterday… OMG!! My stomach still hasn’t settled down.

I’ve always wished that I could’ve avoided the whole ex-husband part of my life. But without that part, I wouldn’t have 2 of my children. I also wouldn’t know just how good I have it now. So.. scratch that one.

On that same note, I wish that when I found out the SOB was cheating on me that I had gone ahead and beat the crap out of the person he was cheating with. I swear I’m not a violent person but, I always wondered if I’d have felt better about the whole thing.

Now, had I actually DONE that, this answer would probably be “I wish I hadn’t beat the crap out of her.” LOL And I know that many people will think “Well, HE is the one that promised to love you and not hurt you, so don’t blame her” but in this situation, you’d be wrong. She was my best friend and that little part of the equation makes her just as guilty.

Hmm… Did I actually answer this question yet? Uhm…..
Okay. I can’t think of any life altering changes…
No wait, I just did.

I would go back and make the doctors understand that my grandmother’s pain was not in her head. I would’ve insisted that they did more tests until they figured out what was wrong with her. I would’ve made sure that they figured it out BEFORE the cancer was allowed to spread throughout her body so badly that there was nothing that could be done about it.

Losing Grandma was the hardest thing I’ve EVER had to deal with in my entire life. If there was anything that I could do to make it so she were still here…. that’s the part that I would do over. And if that change resulted in no more ovarian cancer EVER….. then that would be even better.

3) If you had the chance to have a date with a famous person who would it be and what would you do?
Josh Blue! And if you don’t know who Josh Blue is then, shame on you! You have no idea what you’re missing. Go look him up on YouTube or something.

And if you DO know who he is and you’re rolling your eyes…. screw you & the horse you rode in on. LOL I love that guy to death!!!!! One day I’ll take a picture of my autographed picture for you.

We’d probably end up somewhere like Chuck E Cheese where he would undoubtedly kick my butt at any of the sports games.

But seriously…. No seriously!! Josh Blue is my answer! And if he’s unavailable, then I’d love to smoke a big fat fatty with Willie Nelson. (And no, this doesn’t mean I’m a pothead. But I WOULD partake if Willie was passin!!)

4) If you were an animal, which one would you be and why?
Hmm…. Maybe I would be a dog because I always have my nose in other people’s business.

Maybe a monkey because I like to climb and make weird noises and I’ve been known to throw poop.

The real answer would probably be a fish. I love water and I have the same memory capacity as a fish. “Oh look! A castle! *swim swim swim* Oh look! A castle!”

5) Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Right here, sitting on my butt, staring at a computer screen. That’s actually the honest truth, too. I’ve been mulling over some new ideas for online businesses. Hopefully at least ONE of my ideas will pan out and I can continue to stay at home with my kiddos.

It would be awesome if one of my jobs would allow hubby to stay home, too. With the exception of trying to feed 7 people and the normal “kid expenses” it really doesn’t take much money for us to survive. So this goal is actually something I can see being fullfilled (if I could stop reading blogs and put some time into working lol)

Now……. If YOU would like to be interviewed, by yours truly, just leave a note in the comments and I’ll send you 5 questions. Or you can drop me a note at textimps [at] gmail [dot] com. If you request an interview via comments and you don’t have your questions within 24 hours, send me an email because APPARENTLY your address is no-reply@blogger.com (oh how I hate that address)

Brought To You By The Letter T

Stacie from Stacie’s Madness found a fun blogging game to play and I decided I’d give it a try. Here are the rules as she explained them in her post.

It’s called “Brought to you by the letter…” game. You leave a comment (asking for a letter) on this post, and I’ll assign you a letter. You write about ten things you love that begin with your assigned letter, and post it at your place. When people comment on your list, you give them a letter, and the chain continues on and on.

Stacie’s hat picked the letter T for me. My first thought was “Is it cheating if I say The moon, The stars?” My 2nd thought was “I wish I used my kids’ real names on this blog because that would take care of #1 and #2.

So…. Here I go.

1. Tiny feet. Itty bitty tiny baby feet are one of my most favorite things in the world. There are only 2 left in my house and they will be the last until I become a grandma.

2. Tendrils of hair like my Boogie has.

3. Thongs

3. Thin slices of ham. I hate huge hunks of ham! I really do!

Am I cheating? My Ts seem to be adjectives instead of nouns & verbs. This is way harder than I thought it was gonna be.

4. Toyota Trucks because they remind me of when I met The Ol’ Man and the first time he let me drive his precious truck. Yeah, that’s how you know when they love you. It’s when they hand over the keys to their babies.

5. Text Messages on Yahoo. That’s what I spend the majority of my time doing while I’m on the computer.

6. Toys that find their way to the toy box on their own, without my assistance and without being stepped on before they decide that their place is not in the middle of my floor.

7. Trouble Makers

7. Themes & Templates. Anyone who knows me well knows that I have a huge obsession with searching through templates and creating my own.

8. Tadpole (The Ol’ Man’s real nickname) (I should move this up to #1 or 2 but I’m too lazy.)

9. TV Judges & Crime Shows - Hopelessly addicted to Judge Judy and Law & Order. I especially love SVU.

10. This game

10. Tenacious D - I love Jack Black to death.

Okay - That seriously was way harder than I thought it would be. I spent the last half hour saying “Tuh Tuh Tuh Tuh”

Wanna give it a try?

*ETA - I’ll update this with the links to the completed games. You can either come back and let me know you’re done or just wait until it shows up in my reader and then I’ll add it. And I decided I’d post a comment on your blog and use the first letter of your captcha to assign your letter.

Melanie D got the letter L
