  • Old school blogging, yo!

    One of the many reasons I love blogging (not to mention, why I've been at it for almost 11 years now): I've had the pleasure of watching this space grow and mature into sooooo many wonderfully diverse communities.

    You can't go two clicks without meeting someone new to the blogosphere.

    So, inspired by my friends Shannon and Kendra, I'm kicking it old school and linking up with Elaine from The Miss Elaine-ous Life and Kim from Co-Pilot Mom for some Old School Blogging where I answer a list of random questions.

    [rolls up sleeves, blows bangs out of eyes]

    Okay, LET'S DO THIS:

    What is the last thing you watched on T.V.? Walking Dead; unless there's a zombie close by, then I'm hiding behind Daryl Dixon and keeping a real close eye on his…never mind!

    Daryl Dixon of Walking Dead, YUM!

    BONUS: For all my Walking Dead sistuhs out there AND for all you non-Walking Dead fans — meet Daryl, enough said!

    When did you last step outside? What were you doing? Yesterday, I was waving at my parents as they were pulling out of our driveway. Then I took a quick nap before Walking Dead. I love Sundays!

    What is on the walls of the room you are in? A bulletin board filled with family photos, greeting cards from friends, a valentine from my husband and a chalkboard counting down the days until my kids' adopted Aunt Melisa's visit…YO!

    Countdown until Melisa

    If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy? 6 first class plane tickets to Hungary, 2 more tickets for my parents and then iPads for ALL the kids. They have NEVER been on a plane, enough said.

    Tell me something about you that most people don’t know. I dream in color and, if I happen to wake up in the middle of a dream, I can go back to sleep and finish a dream; but I am harmless, promise.

    Who made the last incoming call on your phone? My oldest daughter, to tell me that she was on her way home from work and to ask if I needed her to pick up anyone or anything, so I am much more relaxed about her driving.

    If you could change something about your house without having to worry about expense or mess, what would it be? Way too many things to list, but I would love to get the house sided and we most definitely need a new roof (stupid Superstorm Sandy, dumbass Hurricane Irene!)

    What is the last thing you bought? I ordered sushi for me and my son on Friday when the 3 girls went to the mall, but the girls ended up coming home early and had leftovers, c'est la vie…I mean…sore ga jinseida.

    Would you go bungee jumping or skydiving? Bwahahahahahahahahahahaha…[wipes eyes]…that IS a good one.

    If you could eat lunch with one famous person, who would it be? They're not famous, but I would LOVE to be able to go back in time, cook a meal with my grandmothers/great grandmothers and then listen to them talk about their lives. That would be awesome.

    Which store would you choose to max out your credit card? Been there, done that, not a big fan of credit cards. But, we're just pretending…sooooo…Pottery Barn and/or Pier 1 would be my choice(s).

    Is the glass half empty or half full? Half full; unless it happens to be a glass of my favorite wine, then it's totally empty.

    What’s the farthest away place you’ve ever been? Visiting family in Hungary and Austria with my parents when I was 2 years-old, 6 years-old, on my own at 22 years-old and then the last time was when introducing my then new husband in 1991. So, we are looooong overdue for a visit (see: If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy?)

    What's under your bed? Don't know, I watch way too many horror films and am too afraid to look.

    What is your favorite time of day? Twilight, just before the sun rises or just after sunset, must be the Eastern European in me.

    What inspires you? Spending time with my kids and listening to them talk about their dreams; laughing with my friends; my husband Garth, (not his real name) knowing I'm a dork and loving me anyway, to name a few.

    Okay, now it's YOUR turn. Tell me something about you that most people don't know. Or, hop on over to Elaine’s, grab a button, meet a new blogger (or twenty) and join the fun. G'head, I'll wait!

    P.S. The link up is closed, go figure, but better late than never.

    P.P.S. They do this sort of thing every month, so there's that.

    P.P.P.S. I am SUCH a dork.

  • Insert Blog Post Title, Right Here…

    That's what SHE said!

    So, my husband, Garth (not his real name) was ironing his dress shirt the other morning.

    Okay, he irons his dress shirts…every morning.

    Because, I don't have the patience…especially, when it comes to completing intricate little domestic duties…that require the use of both hands…at the SAME time…plus, I hate ironing…oh, and mornings.

    [takes deep breath]

    Aaaaanyway, as usual, my eyes were glued shut (stupid allergies!) so, I tried to, you know, un-glue them and that's when the conversation turned, well, sort of weird.

    [looking into mirror]

    "The left one kinda looks crusty."

    [one beat, two beats]

    "That's what SHE said!!!"

    Buh-dum-bum.

    SNORT!

    [sound of crickets]

    Guess you had to be there.  Still, we both thought it was ALSO pretty funny.  How, even the most innocent sentence in the world changes when responded to as:

    "That's what SHE said!"

    SNORT!

    Because, I am ALL about making blogging fun (shuddup!) I thought…HEY!…I bet we could do this with blogs, too.

    Want to play? 

    The rules, they are easy — all you have to do is leave a comment here:

    1.  List your latest blog post title.

    2.  Followed by, "That's what SHE said!"

    That's it.  Feel free to play this on your own blog, too.  The more the merrier, right?

    "That's what she said!!!"

    Orrrrrrr, just make something up, I'm easy.

    "That's what SHE said!"

    Buh-dum-bum.
