And when I told her not to touch the clothes she started screaming. And the lady came over and started yelling at me for hurting her little girl who she had just rescued from a terrible situation. I finally got through to her I didn't do anything, but I felt awful for both of them.

7. Name a food that describes you. I never know how to answer this, but this morning I was thinking my current favorite food is the Chicken tikka from the Indian Restaurant in Midland, served over their rice with their toasted naan. It's the BEST!

Sunday Stealing: The Heaven Eleven Meme

Cheers to all of us thieves!

1. If you could live in any other time period, which would you pick? Hmmmm, you know I think I would like to live with the Native Americans back before the "white man" discovered this country. That would be fascinating. So, like middle ages time but over here.

2. What is your favorite topic to write on your blog other than a meme? Duh - book reviews! lol

3. What are some traits that you admire in a lover? Humor, honesty and kindness. Without those 3 a person isn't even worth considering, I wouldn't find them attractive. I remember in high school I had the hots for this guy until one day he started teasing me for crocheting...seriously, WTF??? He became ugly in that moment and my crush dissipated.

4. Could you adjust to life in another country? I hope I someday have the opportunity. So many places I'd love to try living in, including Canada and Mexico, some South American countries, Ireland, Scotland, Sweden, Russia, oh and New Zealand.

6. What is your favorite possession that cost less than $15? My wallet, I paid $4 at TJ Maxx about a year ago. It's black, cloth with pink flamingos on it. When I was choosing a wallet, CW picked it out. I have to say it's served me well for being so cheap. And it's kitschy enough to fit in with all my Vera Bradley purses. Now people are thinking, what are you rich? No I have one very good friend who has given me gifts and let me buy her used ones, AND a very nice cousin who sells me cheap bags after the outlet sale. I swear one day I will attend that baby!

7. Which color do you wear most often? Black...or brown...really it's a tie.

8. What has been your “theme song”, or favorite song this summer? Hmmm...I can't think of one. I love so many songs, and since I can't seem to hook up my MP3 player into the car...it's just not as easy to listen to music when I'm driving. Husband introduced me to Robin Trower last night, and I gotta say he bears looking into. So go check it out, very classic rock sound.

9. What's the most romantic thing that's ever been said to you? "here give me your hands." Seriously, i was massaging Chris' back and I had to stop because of my carpel tunnel made my hands hurt. I felt bad, he sat up got some lotion and asked for my hands and massaged me until I felt better. I told him that meant more than all the flowers and chocolate in the world.

10. What would be your dream birthday cake? Oh no doubt on this one, the Soaring Eagle Casino has this buffet restaurant that has an amazing dessert section. There's this white-chocolate raspberry cake that is heavenly. So if you ever come to Mt. Pleasant, MI - go to the Casino's buffet and just eat dessert.

11. What is the coolest thing you’ve ever done? Grown a human being. Yup, of all the things I've done, having that little human being growing inside my belly is the COOLEST thing that has ever happened to me. And since I am the one who got pregnant, I share responsibility for that miracle.

27. What is your favorite thing about winter? Hot chocolate and a good book...or a fun crochet project. But mostly hot chocolate.

28. What was the name of your first pet? Venus...I think that was her name. I don't actually remember her but my mom had her when I was a baby so technically she was mine too. ;)

29. What have you done so far this weekend? Took the boys to the mall to play, picked up Emma, put them to bed, took them out for breakfast, shopping, then home to play. Going to have to do bath time soon. I know, my life is oh so exciting. I did write a blog post and I'm writing this one right now...and now...and now...

7. What's the longest job that you've had? (No parenting does not count!) Let's see...ummm...I guess I haven't found my true calling just yet. Although if I hadn't decided to be a stay at home mom I'd probably still be at Keystone doing property accounting.

8. If you won the lottery, who'd you call first? My husband...then my mom...then my friend Peggy.

9. If you won, how would you spend your money after investments? Buy us a house, new cars, pay off my mom's mortgages and car, buy Nate a car or let him keep mom's house where he's at now. Oh and let's not forget the damn student loans and credit cards...get those damn yokes off our necks.

10. When was the last time you went to church (or a religious house)? Well it's been a few weeks...might be a couple more. Depends on if we have company or not.

11. What's the biggest lie that you've heard? Goodness I can't think of which one to choose...all of them are from Chris' previous employer. Most recent is telling everyone that he paid Chris $2-$3 more an hour than he actually did...trying to make Chris look like a selfish dick.

12. When you go out with your friends, where do you go? I don't go out with my friends. Well occasionally Peggy and I go out to eat and that's usually Ponderosa although I think we'll rethink that one now. I love just hanging out at her house. I've met Amber at Barnes & Noble and we had lunch and hung out there - that was awesome too. Maybe someday soon I can do that again!

13. When was the last time that you cried? Oh my that was the day Chris called me to help him load his stuff...I was scared s***less.

After that is this chicken casserole that the Andersons made that had green olives in it...without the olives it's ok but with them...blech!

15. What do you like best about yourself? I have low self esteem issues...I really don't know what I like best about myself. And honestly I'm not really talented at any one thing. I'm OK with lots of stuff but nothing stands out.

2. What book are you reading? I'm trying to read Freedom's Sword but Goddess Bless is calling to me.

3. Favorite board game? Parcheesi...you want to know cheesey? I have been known to play it all by myself. I thought when I had kids we'd have family game night but I went and stupidly bred with a nongamer and the boys are nongamers too. Damn!

But my Sims daughter is all grown up and engaged to her high school sweetheart...I had to make that boy grow up though. Also the daughter has a bowl of peanut butter and jelly stuck on her hand, that's funny. It was baby food, I'm not sure how she got it as a teenager. Oh sorry, you all might not be that interested. Hey, there are vampires...is that more interesting? lol

16. If you had to dye your hair another color, what would be your choice? I so want blue hair!

41. Who was the last person you went shopping with? My children...I always go shopping with my children. It can be a pain in the butt, but today Chris took them and it was sweet to kick back.

42. What is something you need to go shopping for? We always need food. Although right now we are pretty good, probably going to need milk soon.

43. Do you have the same first name as one of your relatives? Nope, as far as I know I'm the only Angela...which is weird considering how large my dad's family is.

44. What kind of car do (did) your parents drive? My mom was all Ford but she just bought a Chrysler mini-van. It's pretty, I love my Chrysler Concord.

45. Are you rich? Oh hell no, I'm at the opposite end of the spectrum from rich. lmao

48. What famous person do you look like? Feel free to use this facial match program by clicking here. Show us at least the celeb photo. God the only one I recognize is Terry Hatcher...EWWWWW!

49. What is the most daring thing you've done recently? I let myself run out of fabric softner. No really, do you have any idea how not-soft my towels and sheets are???

50. Say you were given a pregnancy test right now. Would you pass or fail? pass, no question at all in my mind. I've been spayed. lol - I just realized I probably answered this wrong. I think it would be failing if I WERE pregnant...probably not what they meant.

51. Which sex scandal of the last decade bothers you the most? None of them bother me, I mean when it's a politician or a celebrity they don't get any privacy and all I can think is it isn't any of my business. It's between the guy and his wife.

53. What are your plans (or what have you done) for this weekend? Nothing at all...well I did read Smokin' Seventeen and I took a 3 hour bubble bath and I moved the recliner onto the porch so I could spend the rest of the afternoon in trailer-park style.

58. Which is more distracting: Sexting while driving or sex while driving? I've never done either but I would go with sexting because you have to look at the keyboard. Having someone play with your wangdoodle doesn't require any eye contact.

59. Do you think someone is thinking about you right now? Yes, Ivan is hoping I don't bust him for being in the fridge.

60. Have you ever changed your clothes while in a vehicle? Yeah, but more like a van when camping. And I was super fast about it.

2. Your best friend tells you she is pregnant. What is your reaction? I think I'd be holding her because as far as I know she doesn't want to be pregnant.

4. What is the last thing you spent money on? Food...oh and a little gas can to buy gas for our wonderful new lawn mower...did I mention I love my Mommy?

5. Do you think you gained or lost weight this past month? Gained...I really need to refocus my efforts...

6. Crunchy or Puffy Cheetos? Crunchy...but honestly I'd rather have Fritos...

7. The first person on your friends list just called you a bitch. What do you do? Well that would be my husband...so I'd probably kick him out until he cools down and apologizes...or just yell at him. But I also say that in jest as he wouldn't ever do that.

8. Congratulations! You just had a son. What’s his name? Oh no, no more sons for me. Oh just play along? Ok...ummm...the name I wanted to use and no one would let me is Sasha...and that is a boys name in Russia.

12. When you buy something and your change is 2 cents, do you keep it or tell the cashier to keep it? If there's a penny thing there I tell them to just put it in there. What kind of ass tips 2 cents???

13. What color is your tissue box? Invisible...no tissue box, we use toilet paper should the need arise. Only time I buy tissues is when one of us is sick and really draining...except Chris because he'll still use TP if I do buy the tissue...

14. Do you have a ceiling fan in your bedroom, and if so, is there dust on that fan? LMAO - no, I think if we installed one that would be the end of our ceiling and the end of our roof.

Yes, the last one was some guy I truly don't know, like no friends in common even...sent me a message talking about how he loves a woman to the fullest and if I'm up for that...blah, blah, blah...well considering I'm happily married I showed it to my husband and immediately blocked the guy.

17. Scariest thing you’ve experienced in the last year? I can't think of anything...all in all it's been a pretty good year, if I have to say something I guess it was when my car had some electrical problems and the mechanic said I might have to take it to the dealer (can you say KACHING for the dealer?)...luckily my husband pushed down all the fuses and the problem disappeared. And I LOVE my husband, too.

18. Do you wear a name tag at work? Ummm, no my kids know I'm mama. My 5 yr old has recently started yelling "Angie!" if I don't answer him fast enough.

TRUE OR FALSE

Q: Kissed someone on your friends list? Uh yeah! I think it would be really sad if I hadn't kissed my husband! I think these questions are for the tweeners.

Q: Held a snake? Nope, but I have touched one...and get your minds OUT of the gutter...CMU biology lab brought some into the library.

Q: Been suspended from school? No, I was such a good girl...

Q: Sang karaoke? no, but I secretly (or not so secretly) want to, I love to sing...I'm not so good but I do love it.

Q: Been pushed into a pool with all your clothes on? No, I think I'd be really pissed off. Things that are funny on TV aren't as funny in reality. I mean, think about it, chances are I'd be at a party and not have anything else to wear...so I'd be stuck in sopping wet clothes until I got to go home. Yeah, REAL funny. ;)

Q: Broken a bone? No, oddly enough. I did my share of tree climbing, breaking into my 2nd floor apartment and bike riding...never had a serious accident.

6. When did you go to your first funeral and viewing? My first funeral was my Great Grandmother and I was probably 14. I felt horrible that I freaked out when she was in the hospital and didn't talk to her. I still miss her. She taught me to read when my mom cleaned her apartment.

7. Who was your first grade teacher? No idea, but she was old and actually still had a paddle in the room. She used to make us lay our heads down and close our eyes after lunch, and then she'd get mad when a few kids (every day!) fell asleep.

8. Where did you go on your first ride on an airplane? A little one in Bay City during an open house at the airport. Found out my mom is terrified of landing.

9. When you snuck out of your house for the first time? I never did that. Remember earlier when I said I was such a good girl? I didn't have anything to sneak out for.

47. Could you ever kill yourself to save someone else? Wow, that's so deep. I guess I could to save my kids or my husband but beyond that I really don't know.

48. Does it matter if [you] break up with someone or have them dump you? Well if you do the dumping, at least it was your idea...you were in control. It can hurt more to be dumped because you never will really know the reason.

49. Would you rather have a turtle or a frog for a pet? Turtle...I love turtles, they are so cute. But I'm not against frogs.

50. Would you rather spend a day with Lady Gaga or Miley Cyrus? Good god! Those are the choices??? I guess Miley Cyrus, I've seen an interview with Lady Gaga and honestly I just wanted to slap her...so that wouldn't end well.

51. Would you rather learn to play piano or guitar? My mom sent me to keyboarding lessons when I was a teenager, but I didn't have any talent. Chris let me buy a bass guitar before we had CW and really and truly I have to admit to having NO musical making talent.

52. We're going back to the day. Where did you get your kicks? What day? Geesh I'm too sober for this meme! Ok, I'll assume they mean when I was a kid...I'm not a very exciting person. I loved my barbies, babies and matchbox cars. I also loved reading...apparently I have been since I was 3. I have fond memories of playing with rocks in my great-grandma's front yard area at her apartment, and lots and lots of imaginative play with friends.

53. What Asian country would you like to visit the most? Why? Well...hmmmm...I've never had a real big draw to visit any asian country. I guess if I had to choose it would be the Philippines...because when I was on a cruise that's where all the grunt workers were from. Oh you know what I mean, the guys who drove and stuff like that were from Australia, the guys who cleaned up and fixed stuff were from the Philippines. It was a very class divided time...weird actually.

54. Have you ever thought that a passer-by was the one (think James Blunt, here)? LOL - not the one, but I have stopped in my tracks with a man so handsome that I just wanted to stare and let him know how good he looked. I think that's lust we are talking about here. ;)

55. Ever told someone that your fake jewelery was really real? No, I've never had such high quality fake jewelry. lmao

56. Where are the worst public restrooms? I don't know, but if it's in a restaurant, I will never eat there again. Something wrong with a place that makes food having ANY area that is filthy.

57. What song was the latest one that got overplayed really fast? Well the last one for me was a kiddie song that taught kids a little spanish, words for head, eyes, ears, etc. They learned it for End of Year celebration and it got stuck in my head.

58. What Friends (American TV show from the 90s) character are you most like? Oh I guess the one that married Monica. Yes I know he's a guy, but if I look at what everyone was like, it'd have to be him. Kind of neurotic, smart but still really dumb in certain areas.

59. When's the last time you had a Popsicle? Been awhile, I'd rather have ice cream. I guess last year finishing up the ones my kids got and couldn't handle. See 1st question...

60. What TV show from way back would you love to see reappear? OMG I would love a remake of...Family Affair. I used to watch that on TVLand, it was cute and I think the issues would still be relevant. A rich bachelor in New York who suddenly has 2 kids to take care of.

31. What is your absolute favorite dessert? The Mountain Town Cookie, it's a fresh baked chocolate chip cookie served in the little cast iron pan it was cooked in, covered with hot fudge and vanilla ice cream on top.

32. What can someone do to make you smile, no matter what? fart jokes...I'm a simple girl, bodily humor is ALWAYS funny.

33. What do the hip people think of you? I don't think hip people think of me at all...and do we still use the term hip?

34. What was the last gift you bought someone? Just gave my MIL a scarf I bought at Merchandise Outlet, it was really pretty and light, only $1 but it made her day.

35. What was your favorite class in high school? Accounting, I loved playing with the numbers and solving the problems.

37. What would you say was the most embarrassing moment of your life? Jesus! I'm supposed to tell you that??? Let's just say it is another jr. high period tale. Ladies - I'm sure you know what I mean.

38. Have you ever donate money to charity? Of course...what heartless worm lives 36 years and has never given a dime?

39. Has porn ever had a positive place in a current or recent relationship? Oh hell yes - I happen to like it and so does my husband so it definitely adds a spark on some nights. (maybe I can move this answer up to most embarrassing?)

40. Would you ever dump the one you're with for someone who makes an obvious play and is MUCH hotter? No, I wouldn't even consider it. I'd take the compliment, but I love my husband, I've committed myself to him and we have kids together. I wouldn't ruin that for anything.

41. Have you ever disowned one of your relatives? Yes, it was my idea to have my mom's 3rd husband adopt me so I wouldn't have to see her 2nd husband ever again. It was a good choice because he's been my dad ever since and actually did a good job.

42. Would you think it's OK to cheat on someone if they've already cheated on you? No, 2 wrongs just make things messier. Either forgive and move on or end the relationship. Creating extra drama won't make anyone feel better.

43. Did you ever consider becoming a teacher? Yes, I even took a couple classes and volunteered at my high school before I remembered that I HATE teenagers.

44. Would you ever give a hitch-hiker a ride somewhere? I have before, helped a guy out when he ran out of gas. It was about to storm, took him to get gas, he even bought me some and then back to his truck just before it hit. So not on a regular basis and definitely not with my kids, but yes I have.

45. Would you ever try fasting for a whole week? Oh no - I like food too much. Although there was some kind of fasting thing where you drink some concoction with honey in it, but I never have found it.

16. What was the last thing you did that was totally selfish, yet you feel no guilt? I sat playing the Sims 3 while my husband single-handedly dressed the boys to take them shopping. Why don't I feel guilty? Because during the week when I ask him to help me he stays in bed and then goes to the bathroom...neither of those options help! ;)

17. Tell us about a film fave of yours that we probably have not seen. Wristcutters, just saw this one recently...loved it...let's just say they aren't lying when they say "dark comedy."

18. When was the last time you kissed someone that you shouldn't have on the lips? I don't think that I have ever...oh no not true...but that is so not getting shared here. Chris it was before you - no worries.

19. When was the last time you cooked something for someone not in your family? Nope, can't think of anything on this one. I'm a close to home kinda gal.

20. When was the last time you danced like a crazy person? Oh let's see...sometime last week I swung around with Ivan.

21. When was the last time you just wanted to be invisible? Couple weeks ago, but I get this often, and I think I'm actually pretty good at pulling it off.

22. When was the last time you got a gift you absolutely hated? Oh now I'd have to get a gift for that to happen. ;) Well I guess I could count all the contests I've won, people usually give you an extra trinket. But I love that kind of stuff, I've never gotten anything I totally hate because I actually do appreciate the effort (weird, huh?)

23. When was the last time you got into a physical fight? (If NEVER, let us know about a time that you got close to a fight.) Let's see, I was 6 or 7...it was this snotty neighborhood girl that just wouldn't back off. So we started fighting and it ended when I yanked out a fist-full of her pretty blond lochs. Then I felt really bad and so never fought again.

24. When was the last time you had to sleep with a light on? Well, if by light we count the TV it is anytime that Chris is gone overnight. I do NOT like being alone.

25. When was the last time you were under some serious stress? I am now, trying to live on less when the price of everything is going up, but not our income.

26. When was the last time you watched your favorite movie? Last week? The Other Guys...god that's so good!

27. What song did you most recently downloaded? Styx Greatest Hits and a Lionel Richie album

28. What would you say is your favorite hobby? knitting...which I can't do thanks to carpel tunnel...then it's crochet...which is also getting harder to do.

29. What is your favorite thing to do when you hang out with friends? Just talk and laugh

30. What would you rather do: shower or bathe with that celebrity that you are crushing on? shower before bath after.
