Cheers to all of us thieves!
26) Are you happy with the person you've become? Somedays...
27) What's a sound you hate; sound you love? hate - my kids whiny voice, love - my kids giggles
28) What's your biggest "what if"? What if I met Chris when we were both in college. Cause we were actually at the same school at the same time but didn't meet until years later.
29) Do you believe in ghosts? Yes
30) How about aliens? Of course, I'm not sure they've been here but there has to be other life in the universe.
31) What is the single best decision you have made in your life so far? Staying home with the boys. It's not always easy or affordable, but damn they are well adjusted and happy.
32) What's the worst place you have ever been to? Detroit
33) Can insanity bring on more creativity? Yes, insane people usually murder their inner critic. ;)
34) Most attractive actor of your opposite gender? Ok I'm tired of answering this one. Who you do you guys like?
35) To you, what is the meaning of life? To create a decent human being to take my place when I die.
36) Define “Art”. Anything a person creates.
37) Do you believe in luck? Yup, I do. I wish I had more of it.
38) In your opinion, what makes a great relationship? honesty, true utter honesty not only with your partner but with yourself. Like I'm under no allusion that Chris lusts after other women, hell I lust after other men so it's only fair. That relieves a huge amount of tension right there. I did have to grow up to reach that point though.
39) What's a song that always makes you happy when you hear it? Norwegian Wood
40) Where were you yesterday? I was at work in the morning, then I came home and didn't leave again until I went to work again this morning.
41) What's the worst injury you've ever had? I guess it would be when I was 3 years old. My babysitter was ironing and she left the iron on the board to answer the phone. Me, being a curious toddler, reached up and the iron fell on my hand. I still have scarring on my 3 fingers of my left hand from that. I feel worse for my babysitter, my mom said she was so upset she was crying and tried to quit but my mom wouldn't let her. It was just an accident.
42) Do you have any obsessions right now? I don't think so. Well maybe one but my husband doesn't seem to mind. lol
43) What's up? The sky.
44) Ever had a rumor spread about you? Probably...don't care (and yes, I'm happy to be in THAT mood now.
45) Do you believe in real magic? Tricky, tricky. I believe in making magic, but that it's really more of a prayer ritual, you can do the spell but there's not guarantee it will work.
46) Do you ever hold grudges against people who have done you wrong? Yes I do...if I'm being honest. I do wish I were better at letting stuff go. I'm trying to teach the boys to do that, hope it works.
47) What's your favorite (non-pet) animal? Wolf then Tiger
48) What is your secret weapon to get people to like you? I don't have a secret weapon. I try to be nice and listen without judgement. It really doesn't work much. People open up to me and then I think they get embarrassed and I never hear from them again. Oh well, I'm mostly happy at home in my own little world.
49) Where is your best friend? Probably home with her family, or out shopping.
50) What do you think is Satan's last name? Smith - what??? It had to start somewhere!

25) What is your favorite word? That's the hardest question I've ever seen...Brilliant...that's my favorite word. And I think it's a shame that only the brittish seem to use it with any regularity.

Sunday Stealing: The Madness Meme, Part 1
Cheers to all of us thieves!
1. Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work? EWWWWW, no I get my glasses cleaner or peanut butter.
2. What’s the largest age difference between yourself and someone you’ve dated? Oh goodness, I think the one guy was 10 years or so my senior. Which is weird because I've had crushes on much older men. But then again they probably aren't trolling the internet looking for a date with me. lol
3. Ever been in a car wreck? Just a few very minor ones.
4. Were you popular in high school? Good god no! I was invisible as long as I stayed out of the way.
5. Have you ever been on a blind date? Not really, although I was finding my dates online, so it was sort of blind.
6. Are looks important? Not really, looks fade with time so it's better to have someone you can stand to be around.
7. Do you have any friends that you’ve known for 10 years or more? Yes, my friend from High School, although we parted ways for awhile we are talking again. And my BFF Peggy who I met 11 years ago...
8. By what age would you like to be married? Well I've been married over 6 years now so I don't think this question really applies.
9. Does the number of people a person’s slept with affect your view of them? Nope, mostly I don't want to know.
10. Have you ever made a mistake? No I'm a totally perfect person in every way. Ok now pick yourself up off the floor and read the next question. ;-)
11. Are you a good tipper? Yes, as long as our server is friendly and attentive we are very good tippers. We even forgive kitchen problems, but if the server is neglectful, then we will reflect that in the tip.
12. What’s the most you have spent for a haircut? I don't know. Mostly now if I go for a haircut I go to the beauty school and it's only $7.
13. Have you ever had a crush on a teacher? Oh yeah, my high school history/economics teacher. He was so enthusiastic about the subjects he taught, for some reason I found that smokin' hot.
14. Have you ever peed in public? What the hell does this mean? Like did I ever drop trow in the middle of the mall? Who does that? Public restroom, yeah-who hasn't?
15. What song do you want played at your funeral? I don't want a funeral.

18. Beatles or Stones? Beatles, although Stones don't suck.
19. If you had to pick one person on earth to die, who would it be? I don't want that responsibility. I guess if I had to choose it would be me. I'm not taking anyone else's life in my hands.

21. Do you have any phobias? Well I already told you about the dark, I'm also afraid of heights and spiders and bees/hornets.

Sunday Stealing: The Questions Galore Meme, Part 3
Cheers to all of us thieves!
41. What is a quote that you love? "You may not get hurt, but huff-puff you won't get loved either." It's from the 10th kingdom and it really speaks to my own inner trust issues.
42. Do you think of pure hate as something humanity created? Yes, I really do.
43. When was the last time you wanted to scream? While I was watching Life Unexpected (and yes the 2 seasons are streaming on Netflix), it's deliciously bad tv. A soap with less people. :)
44. Do you ever at times see the world in black and white? Not often, there is so much gray that I try really, really hard to not pass judgement.
45. Have you ever thought that cell phones are too obtrusive? Always...I still have one though. lol I just don't like when I see parents with their kids and the cell phone is glued to their ear and the kids are ignored, that really bothers me. Well I'm less bothered when it's a group or pair of older people. I just think that's rude. Could you imagine being on a date and the other person kept talking on their cell phone? I had one like that once and he told the person he wasn't doing anything important. OUCH!
46. In your life, where do you thank the rainbow will end? Am I on a rainbow? If so it really blows! It will probably end in the Bog of Stench.
47. What is something that you never want to do again? Oh I don't know, I've done so many disgusting things in my life. Ok at the top of that list is to clean up someone's vomit. Considering my oldest is 5 and the youngest is 3, that's probably a pipe dream. :)
48.When was the first time you realized the world was small? I don't think the world is small now. It's massive.
49. How you spend your time contemplating life’s mysteries? Far too much, too bad you can't get paid doing that.
50. Ever discuss your political beliefs with people? Pretty much just with my husband. I don't like to make waves with people and that leaves off religion and politics.
51. Do you care about the environment? Yes, in that I'd like there to be a planet for my kids to live on when they grow up.
52. What’s your motto for life? If you aren't hurting anyone, it's no one else's business.
53. Is progress destroying the beauty of the world? Yeah, I think that a lot. I live in a state that used to be all trees...and sometimes I try to imagine what it was like and it makes me sad.
54. Do you believe there is life somewhere else in the universe? Of course, a infinite area life has to have been repeated a million times over. Do I believe they are traveling here to give anal probes to farmers? No - that one I don't buy. lol
55. Would you like to rule a country? Good GOD no! I wouldn't want to be in charge of a township, much less an entire country. Look at the president, all the way back in your memory. Anytime something bad is going on, it's the presidents fault. People never seem to remember that the president only has so much control and most decisions are made in congress and the senate. But it's the president's fault. And if a new guy comes in and it doesn't get fixed fast enough, then people forget the last guy who they previously thought caused the mess.
56. Do you believe everything has a purpose? Not everything but sometimes it's surprising. Last week I nearly bought a Thomas costume for Ivan at Wal-Mart. He was fussy and I put it back and he was ok with that - and if you knew how obsessed with Thomas Ivan is you'd know how shocking that really is. Then a few days later we are at Merchandise Outlet and find a James costume for less money and Ivan was thrilled.
57. Is war ever for the best? I really don't think so. So many innocent lives are lost, people that could care less about politics and just want to live their lives and watch their families grow and change. Why do they have to pay the largest price while the guys making the decisions sit in their comfy homes and offices and never see the results of those decisions.
58. Could you kill anyone in defense of self or loved ones? I don't know, if someone was trying to hurt my boys I'm not sure how far I could go. I don't want to be in that situation, I can say that one for sure (yeah like anyone would!)
59. How do you react to people (Such as Governor Rick Perry) who don't believe global warming is really our fault? I don't, they aren't worth the attention or the breath it would take to react. The fact is when people are like that, no matter what you say it won't make a difference to them. They will dismiss anything you say, even any facts you present.
60. Does love conquer all? No, it doesn't. It is nice, though. It makes life bearable.
61. Is euthanasia morally acceptable? Depends, honestly look at what we do with our animals. If our beloved furry pet is at the end of their life and suffering, we put them down. But when a human is in the same position, then it's murder and illegal. I don't think that's quite right that we treat our pets better than our fellow human beings. Shouldn't it be the persons choice? And yes I do see the other side of people not being mentally capable of making that decision. Or bad guys committing murder, but those are things in any situation. If a person is going to kill themselves, they will make it stick. I just think they should be able to go peacefully if death really is the only outcome.
62. Is world peace impossible? Yes, people suck, the end.
63. Is pride a good or a bad thing? Depends, people being jackasses about it is when it is bad. A little self confidence never hurt anyone.
64.What do you think is the purpose of your life? I have no idea, but i hope I find it soon. Then again maybe it's just to be a mother to these little guys and a good wife to my husband, maybe I'm not making a huge mess of that.
65. Do you believe in karma? I don't know, I'd like to but far too often total dicks are getting everything they want. We try so hard to be good people, to work hard and it's never enough.
41. What is a quote that you love? "You may not get hurt, but huff-puff you won't get loved either." It's from the 10th kingdom and it really speaks to my own inner trust issues.42. Do you think of pure hate as something humanity created? Yes, I really do.

Sunday Stealing: The Questions Galore Meme, Part 2
Cheers to all of us thieves!
21. What was the last song you listened to that wasn’t sung in English? *chuckle* how would I know???
22. One of our SS players generally leaves a critical comment on our memes. Which is fine. All's fair. Do you let meme authors know when you hate their memes? no, I don't generally read the others...sorry I have a HUGE list of blogs to read already...guess I know what I'm doing next!
23. What TV show would you like to be on? Raising Hope...or another sitcom, I love those shows, I think they make people relax and laugh especially when times are tough.
24. What was the last video game you played? The Sims 3...I need a 12 step program for that game...
25. Have you ever been in a musical? If yes, do tell. Nope, never ever ever...and you should be thankful.
26. Do you follow your own style or everyone else’s? I don't think I have a style. I try to buy what I like but sometimes I wear whatever I have.
27. What’s the last store you bought from? Soldan's - I needed to buy crickets for the tree frog.
28. In retrospect, have you ever let a person use you a lot? No I don't think so. If I have to cut off a relationship then I do. I probably do let people use me more than I should but it's also my choice.
29. What are you doing two days from now? Getting CW to school, taking care of Ivan, probably laundry...
30. Did you ever believe there were monsters in your closet? No, but I'm still convinced something from under my bed is going to grab me.
31. When you graduated high school, did you let random people sign your yearbook or just close friends? Friends, not always very close but I didn't just hand it around, I don't think most people in my high school even knew who I was.
32. Would you consider adopting a child that had a mental illness? Wow! This is the deepest, most difficult question yet! I don't know, depends on what illness you are talking about here. Delayed, yes. Emotional, I'm not so sure. That would probably push a lot of my own buttons and I'm not sure I could really help that child.
33. Does thinking about death scare you? Scares the hell out of me, especially cancer. I don't have insurance and I'm terrified of having something and not being able to find out until it's too late or treat it.
34. If you died, do you believe that you go to Heaven or Hell and where would your spirit go? I prefer to believe in reincarnation. Honestly if there is a heaven and only Christians are allowed in...well that's just mean. Plenty of good people of different religions, and I just can't believe in a God who has that much of an Ego.
35. Who did you last write a snail mail letter to and why? I have no idea...
36. Do you care what people say or think about you? I really can't think about that. It's never good and that sends me on a spiral to dark places.
37. Have you ever been threatened? Well yeah, but by bullies when I was a kid...I once had one tell me to kick my friend or they were going to beat me up. Luckily at that point in my life (at least in this instance) I'd known enough untrustworthy and unstable people to realize that was BS and either she was going to beat me up or not and what I did to my friend didn't matter. I flatly refused and she actually left me alone and I became friends with her friend...or would lackey be the term?
38. Which side of your family do you get most of your qualities from? I know my biological dad's family but not that well. Honestly I don't know my mom's family that well either. Guess I'm just me and that's it.
39. What was the last thing with alcohol that you drank? Knowing me a cranberry and rum...it's my fav drink.
40. Have you ever kept a relationship a secret? Oh hell yes! When I was 14 dating a 22 yr old! Actually my mom did meet him once, but I swore he was 17 and we were only friends. She said I wasn't allowed to see him anymore, so I saw him in secret. Not like he actually took my anywhere - God he was a loser. Anyway, he grabbed me and forced me to kiss him in front of my friends once and I dumped him the next time I saw him. That scared the crap out of me - my friends didn't get it, but I said "if he did this in front of you, what would he do when we are alone?" I'm not that dumb!
22. One of our SS players generally leaves a critical comment on our memes. Which is fine. All's fair. Do you let meme authors know when you hate their memes? no, I don't generally read the others...sorry I have a HUGE list of blogs to read already...guess I know what I'm doing next!
23. What TV show would you like to be on? Raising Hope...or another sitcom, I love those shows, I think they make people relax and laugh especially when times are tough.
24. What was the last video game you played? The Sims 3...I need a 12 step program for that game...
25. Have you ever been in a musical? If yes, do tell. Nope, never ever ever...and you should be thankful.
26. Do you follow your own style or everyone else’s? I don't think I have a style. I try to buy what I like but sometimes I wear whatever I have.
27. What’s the last store you bought from? Soldan's - I needed to buy crickets for the tree frog.
28. In retrospect, have you ever let a person use you a lot? No I don't think so. If I have to cut off a relationship then I do. I probably do let people use me more than I should but it's also my choice.
29. What are you doing two days from now? Getting CW to school, taking care of Ivan, probably laundry...
30. Did you ever believe there were monsters in your closet? No, but I'm still convinced something from under my bed is going to grab me.

Sunday Stealing: The Lower 40 Meme, Part One

15) Can you hula hoop? Oh god no!
16) Are you good at keeping secrets? Yes, I'm also good at minding my own business.

I love to listen to gossip but I don't share it very much.

Sunday Stealing: The August 20 Question Meme
Cheers to all of us thieves!
1. What's for breakfast? Chris snagged some extra food from the deli tray after the concert. I had a ham and cheese sandwich but made with rich people ingredients! 12 points of heaven!
2. Do you read a newspaper daily? Good God no! There isn't ever anything I really need to know. Mostly it seems to stress me out, so I avoid it.
3. What do you do when you can't sleep? In the winter I like a hot bubble bath, in the summer I watch TV.
4. Say a word that sums up your mood. eh...
5. Do you remember your dreams? Yes, had a doozy of one last night involving the lady I always see at the Aunt Millie's Outlet Bread Store.
6. Name something from your dream last night. Ok so I mentioned the lady, and I was at our 2nd trailer doing laundry (and no we don't have 2 trailers) and her little girl came over. 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!
8. Today you are wearing: A black summer dress I picked up cheap at Kohl's. I'm going to put on a black sweater and my sandals.
9. What's in your pockets? I don't have any pockets, I'm wearing a dress. :P
10. Did you sing in the shower today? No, but I read in the tub. At least until the kids woke up, my b-day present to myself. lol
11. What's the last song you heard? The spiderman theme song from the 1967 version.
12. Looking forward to the holidays? Not really, holidays are just stressful if you are poor.
13. Where do you want to be this instant? Back in bed with a huge glass of Iced Mocha Mocha from Biggby. I'm so sad I already used my freebie coupon.
14. What's for lunch? Who knows, going to my moms.
15. What's something you would like to do soon? get paid to proofread...or just get paid.
16. Reading anything now? What is it? The Kitchen Daughter. My friend over at A Cozy Reader's Corner was reading it and she loved it, so I asked the publisher if I could review it. Yup, it's awesome! Look for the review coming soon.
17. What's for dinner? Lunch, dinner...it's all the same. I really want coffee!!!
18. A favorite part of the day is: When the boys go to sleep and I get to hang out with Chris. It's been nice since getting the boys in their own beds. We watch funny shows, or cheesey movies and talk and laugh. Sure we don't get a date night often, but this makes up for it.
19. Are you happy? I think that I should be, but my emotions don't always cooperate.
20. Guess how many people will do Sunday Stealing this weekend? 65 - do I win a prize if I'm right?

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.
5. If you could study anything, what would it be? Computer Programming...I know dream big, right? lmao But seriously, I enjoy playing with HTML, and I think I'd enjoy writing code.
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.

Sunday Stealing: The Nasty 31 Meme, Part One
Cheers to all of us thieves!
1. What has been you longest love relationship? I guess that would be my current marriage...we just celebrated 7th wedding anniversary and when December 15 rolls around we'll be celebrating 9 years of knowing each other.
2. What was the last gift that you received? Hmmm, that would be the groceries that the Andersons bought for us...I consider that a great gift!
3. What do you spend your extra cash on? Extra cash??? lol Ok I waste money just like everyone else. Eating out is my biggest waste...I hate cooking in this tiny hot kitchen that I currently have.
4. If you could live anywhere would you live? Scotland...yup, love the accent the area and even the weather.
5. Who's your cell provider? AT&T thanks to my mom - nope I'm not wasting a dime on that, it's my birthday and Christmas presents every year.
6. What's your favorite mall store? Barnes & Noble...I've never been to one that's not in a mall and if there is one in a mall, I HAVE to stop there.
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.
14. What food do you hate? I can't think of anything I really HATE...no wait, repressed memory from childhood surfacing...that Chop Suey in a can that you get at the grocery store. My mom MADE me eat that stuff...I detest it...it isn't allowed to cross my doorstep ever! 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.

Sunday Stealing: The Fifteen Movie Questions Meme
Cheers to all of us thieves!
1. Movie you love with a passion. Supertroopers, I'm sorry but that movie never fails to make me giggle like a school girl.
2. Movie you vow to never watch. Oh there's been plenty, but usually I move on once I make that decision. Hmmmm, ok anything Miley Cyrus (and I had to use Google to spell that right!)
3. Movie that literally left you speechless. The NeverEnding Story
4. Movie you always recommend.
The 10th Kingdom
Watch a clip here - embedding is disabled on this one.
5. Actor/actress you always watch, no matter how crappy the movie. Actor - Brenden Fraser / Actress - Sandra Bullock
6. Actor/actress you don’t get the appeal for. Actor - Ben Afleck / Actress - Jennifer Lopez
7. Actor/actress, living or dead, you’d love to meet. Actress - Ginger Rogers or Dorris Day/ Actor - Danny Kaye or Cary Grant
8. Sexiest actor/actress you’ve seen. (Picture required!) Actor - Ewan McGregor / Actress - Jennifer Tilly - I think I answered this recently!
9. Dream cast. I don't really know, I read books and think they would be a great movie, and sometimes I think of people better suited to a cast member than who is there. Ok my biggest pet pieve, when reading the Harry Potter series, I just knew Lucius Malfoy should have been played by Julian Sands
10. Favorite actor pairing. Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan...sorry I just loved those 2 together. And I'm talking more than Sleepless in Seatle.
11. Favorite movie setting. New York...I'd never live there but it's a great place for a movie or a sitcom
12. Favorite decade for movies. the 1940s, my all time favorite movie is The Major and the Minor made in 1942.
13. Chick flick or action movie? Classic Chick Flick - Steel Magnolias, Classic Action movie - Rob Roy
14. Hero, villain or anti-hero? Hero - Lionel of Thundercats/ Villian - that purple prince from Voltron/ anti-hero - He-man and She-Ra, far too goody-goody.
15. Black and white or color? black and white...it gets to the heart of the movie...only good for a very subtle good pic. If the director is coordinating the scenery as much as the cast then color might work better.

23. Where’s the next place you’re going to? Church in the morning. Found a new church, one we've been doing Early Head Start playgroups at for years. They did Vacation Bible School and CW fell in love with them. They are nice so we might just make it our own.

Sunday Stealing: The Seriously Random Questions Meme, Pt. 3
Cheers to all of us thieves!
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
46. If you could spend one intimate night with a celebrity, no questions asked, never to see them again, who would it be? It'd have to be the guy who played Nathan Stark on Eureka...oh wait I'm supposed to say I would never ever be with anyone else, right? lol - well come on not like it'll ever happen!
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.
52. Do you know anyone in jail/prison? My dad was in jail when I was 9...for drunk driving and that's it.
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.
54. Have you ever woken up and not known where you were? No, I'm not that heavy of a sleeper.
55. What were you doing at midnight last night?? Either I was trying to sleep or I was watching Birdman.
56. Last restaurant you went to? Ummm...Biggby!
57. How many hours did you sleep for last night? Not many, too much caffeine and a headache and then the boys jumped into bed with us and Ivan was all over the place, he kept hitting me.
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.
