I have no clue why I’m doing this one. I guess because my buddy June sent it to me, and her answers were so entertaining that I couldn’t help but join in. And I figured, if I’m going to do all that work, I might as well post it to The Blawg. No pressure to play along, but of course you are welcome to.
I have to talk everything to death. Drives people around me nuts, I’m
quite sure. But at least they’re nice about it to my face.
mom. I wish we lived closer. Which reminds me of a cute story. Humor
me, mm’kay?
My mom grew up in Maine and moved to Virginia when she
married my dad. I adored my grandparents in Maine, but I only got to
see them once or twice a year. Once when I was probably about
5-years-old, I asked my Gramma why she moved so far away. She
responded with something to the tune of, "Let’s get this straight,
young lady. Your MOTHER was the one who did the moving." My
grandmother wasn’t one to beat around the bush.
My friend Lisa. I talked to her the whole way through the grocery
store. I KNOW. I’m one of THEM. Sue me. I do have some standards,
though. I totally interrupted her mid-sentence to hang up when I got
to the checkout line.
Good grief, this is long. Is there an end in sight?
I’m not a fan of the air-kiss greeting. And the double air-kiss, like
they do on Project Runway? It makes me break out in hives.
I talk on the phone all the time too. Get many dirty looks, but hey, its a free country. 😉
(I really do try not to be rude about it though…)
Umm, how often am I the first one to post? NEVER! WOOT!
Btw, I did this on my blawg too 😉
That was fun!
# 24 is so funny! I’ve done the same thing with my friend Amber. The whole time I was thinking, “I really need to hang up.”
How do you push the grocery cart and talk on the phone at the same time? I could see myself trying to do that and then turning the corner with the big cart I’d need both hands so I’d try to cradle the phone on my shoulder but cell phones aren’t built to be cradled so then I’d probably drop it and it would be a huge scene.
Anyhow. I wanted to say, did you not watch Lost last night??
Well, I had no idea I’d be giving you blog fodder. I was just trying to get up in your business.
“…inherited a significant amount of money and we’re trying to figure out what to do with it. Would you like some? We think we’re going to Beliz for a month. Wanna go?” (just filling you in on the sentence I was in the middle of when you hung up on me).
Sorry, since then I found another friend to share it with! 😉
I have heard your grandmother say that about people moving away so many times! She would say, I’M RIGHT WHERE I’VE ALWAYS BEEN, THEY MOVED AWAY! Brings back memories, I still miss her!
Weavermom – My parents moved around a lot when they were first married. They happened to be living in Maine when I was born, but 6 weeks later, they moved.
Midlife Mom – “I’m right where I’ve always been” – I can TOTALLY hear her say that. Sigh…
First I’m laughing because I have bungee jumped and I love Lost…and I love chocolate peanut butter ice cream…more like obsessed with it….and I have always wondered if there are people out there that un tie their shoes before taking them off….lol…enjoyed this.
Thanks for giving us all a good laugh! I couldn’t bear to turn off the computer for the night until I read every single one of your answers although I’d hate answering all of them myself!
So, your mom went home to Maine to have you?
This was a fun read! I liked it! 🙂
Mmmmmm. Haggan Daz, or however you spell it, has chocolate ice cream with peanut butter swirls. *love*
Bangor, Maine is the place I most want to live. Before I had children I had a job that put me on an airplane every week. The first visit to Bangor was in April on my birthday and it was lightly snowing. I LOVED LOVED LOVED it.
I called DH from the airport and said we are moving here. Such the wonderful DH he is reminded me that when it is 80 degrees outside I still have on sweater.
I guess I much prefer the weather of the south – 77 degrees today.
Anyway, I found your site through Buy, Buy Pie. I’m going to mark it as a favorite.
hey….how come you’re getting your wisdom teeth out? i haven’t been to the dentist in, erm, 14 years (I KNOW!), but i have to go soon, because i think my wisdom teeth are causing my two bottom middle teeth to squeeze together and get crookedy. 🙁
Chocolate covered peanuts. YUM.
And 2 year old chatter. *sigh*
I was just scrolling through your blogs today to try and find the one where you told people how to subscribe – and I don’t know how to do that! (I know, I’m not very blog-literate).
When I came across this meme, I thought, Hm, maybe I want to do this one. Then I read your first answer: Jo-Lynn (JoLynn?) is not a weird name. It’s my sister’s middle name! That’s funny that your parents thought they made up your name, and my parents also thought they made up my sister’s name.
Anyway, I’ll try to comment on your recent posts from now on! 😛
