70 questions (except that really, a few are missing)

Posted by Isabel on February 8th, 2007. Filed under: I was tagged.

I was tagged by Frannie. Being tagged is fun. It’s even more fun when Liza also tags you.

I will be blogging later today all about The King’s trip to the hospital yesterday. At which time we will all understand and discuss how men are wusses (is that the correct use of “wuss”) when it comes to anything like this. I mean, it’s not child birth.

What I’m getting at is that you should totally come back later today so we can talk about how men cannot deal with being in any sort of pain or discomfort.

1. Are your parents married or divorced? Married, going on 35 years. (For the record, The King’s parents have been married for even longer.)
2. Are you a vegetarian? No
3. Do you believe in Heaven? Yes
4. Have you ever come close to dying? Not that I’m aware of.
5. What jewelry do you wear 24/7? None. I take most of my jewelry off the second I walk in the door. It has started to drive me batty.
6. Favorite time of day? When my head hits the pillow (preferable with my guys snuggled up with me!)
7. Do you eat the stems of broccoli? Yes
8. Do you wear makeup? Anytime I leave the house, there is makeup on my face. I heart makeup.
9. Ever have plastic surgery? I haven’t yet, but I’m not against it.
11. What do you wear to bed? Pajamas.
12. Have you ever done anything illegal? I’m sure I have.
13. Can you roll your tongue? Of course.
14. Do you tweeze your eyebrows? Um, yeah.
15. What kind of sneakers? I don’t usually wear sneakers. But the ones I do own are New Balance. I think.
16. Do you believe in abortions? “Believe in them”? Are they like Santa or Fairies??
17. What is your hair color? Brown
18. Future child’s name? I can’t even think that far in advance. It was hard enough naming the present child.
19. Do you snore? Not that I hear.
20. If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be? Right this second? And somebody else would pay for it? Tulum, Mexico with my family (or maybe Berlin…but its cold there this time of year).
21. Do you sleep with stuffed animals? Nope
22. If you won the lottery, what would you do first?
First? Probably pee my pants. And then call my husband to tell him the good news.
23. Gold or silver? Both, please.
24. Hamburger or hot dog? Brauts!!!
25. If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Soda!
26. City, beach or country? City…but the beach on the weekends.
27. What was the last thing you touched? My mouse
28. Where did you eat last? At my desk.
29. When’s the last time you cried? I have a heart of stone, so it was probably like 2 years ago!!
30. Do you read blogs? Is the Pope Catholic?
31. Would you ever go out dressed like the opposite sex? I guess. But why?
32. Ever been involved with the police? What do you mean by “involved”? Like have I dated a cop? Nope.
33. What’s your favorite shampoo conditioner and soap? I wouldn’t save that I have a “favorite”. Right now I’m digging on the shampoo you get at the Hampton Hotel.
34. Do you talk in your sleep? Not that I hear.
35. Ocean or pool? For swimming? The pool!
36. So, who has the original missing questions? What? Who?
37. Who would you take on a ménage à trois for a dirty weekend? With my husband? Rhett Miller. Without my husband? Rhett Miller and Rhett Miller’s younger brother. (And what makes it “dirty”? Are there no showers on this weekend? Because that isn’t dirty so much as it is gross.)
38. Window seat or aisle? Whichever one The King doesn’t want. I’m nice like that.
39. Ever met anyone famous? Rhett Miller. Unfortunately, it wasn’t for a dirty weekend. Not to say that can’t happen at some point. A girl can dream.
40. Do you feel that you’ve had a truly successful life?
My life has only just begun. Ask me in another 50 years.
41. Do you twirl your spaghetti or cut it? I am not really into spaghetti right now. But I DON’T cut it when I do eat it.
42. Ricki Lake or Oprah Winfrey? Neither. (and is Ricki still on?)
43. Basketball or Football? I loath sports.
44. How long do your showers last? As long as I want, damn it.
45. Automatic or do you drive a stick? Stick.
46. Cake or ice cream? Candy!
47. Are you self-conscious? Aren’t we all?
48. Have you ever drank so much you threw up? No.
49. Have you ever given money to a beggar? Is “beggar” the PC term? I prefer “food challenged person”. And the answer is “Yes”.
50. Have you been in love? I hope so, or this who marriage thing is a waste of everyone’s time.
51. Where do you wish you were? In life, right this second? Can you be more specific? Because right now I wish I was in the bathroom, because damn, I need to pee.
52. Are you wearing socks? Not right this second. I’m wearing hose. I wear tights/hose everyday. Lame, I know.
53. Have you ever ridden in an ambulance? Yes
54. Can you tango? I’m not sure what the tango is specifically. But damn, I can dance. (just not dance well.)
55. Last gift you received? I bought myself a new iPod. Does that count?

58. Where do you live? In my crappy one bedroom apartment until our new house is done.
59. Where were you born? In the hospital
60. Last wedding attended? Um…my younger sisters.
61. Spit or swallow? If it’s soda, I’m totally going to swallow it. But if it’s cat pee, I’m spitting it out.
62. Favorite position? On the couch watching TV.
63. Most hated food(s)? Coconut!

67. Last place you went on holiday? British Columbia, Canada

70. Tag 3 friends: Do it if you want. If not, I don’t judge.

(Except you should know that I do judge.)

  1. Frema

    I like how you smoothly sidestepped number sixty-one. What a random question!

    Also, I love “SexyBack,” too. And “My Love,” one of my current faves. Long live JT!

  2. Rachel

    Loved your answers! Too funny. I’m totally stealing this.

  3. Jennifer

    Lovely survey thingy. Are there really questions missing? I think I need some more coffee, I don’t get it.

  4. Hilary

    You did good answering these. Too funny.
    And yes, women do handle pain much better than men do. Although I’ll be the first to say that paper cuts hurt like a SOB.

  5. Carrisa

    She’s right. She totally judges. So I guess I’ll have to do this one.

  6. Britt

    Speaking of “SexyBack,” Ellen had a marching band on her show the other day in honor of something called a “Super Bowl” and the tune they were playing sounded so familiar, but I couldn’t quite put a finger on it. Then I suddenly started chanting, “Go ahead be gone with it,” and I realized I was listening to Justin Timberlake in marching band style. It freaked me out.

  7. Bunny

    ‘“Believe in them”? Are they like Santa or Fairies??’
    You are very clever, Isabel. I, too was tagged, I will have to give it some thought this weekend. Your sharp answers have inspired me.

  8. Marriage-101

    Tulum, Mexico? That’s where my husband and I went on our honeymoon. I have to say, it was awesome. And much cheaper than your second choice. Unfortunately, I don’t have the pictures to prove we were there because our digital camera was stolen on the way back to the U.S. Bastards.
