1. Who lets you have your way more than you should?
2. According to the cliche, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but what’s the way to yours?
3. What’s something that should have been put away but hasn’t been?
4. When did you last weigh yourself?
5. What do the cops in the donut shop say? :D
BONUS: Apparently it's that time of year again (that talk like a pirate stuff). Do you follow it?
1. I'm pretty spoiled :-) I would say: my parents when I was younger, and my hubby today :-D
2. Stomach works, too. Helly's all for good food. But topping the list even above food is sleep/rest. So... the way to my heart is through my... pillow?
3. The dishes! And Todd's clothes. It's amazing how much havoc one tiny little kid can wreak. He's like the Tasmanian Devil-- always a whirlwind that leaves messes in his wake. Times like this I fail to understand how people can willingly have more than ONE child, especially when the first child is a boy!!
4. At our Tech Retreat 2 weeks ago. I was showering in the hotel's gym after spending all day soaking in the jacuzzi. I was quite a few pounds heavier than I normally am, which is no surprise-- the exercise I've been able to get at our new apartment, has been building muscle!
5. "I hope nobody catches us here, or else we'll end up the butt of someone's joke... or worse yet, the object of a silly Friday Five questionnaire!"
BONUS: That would be a resounding HELL NO!! I think whoever invented it needs to be skinned alive. Or subjected to whatever tortures real pirates used to dole out back in the day-- see how much they love and glorify pirates after that! I can't stand this mockery of a "holiday". It amazes me how one parodic idea can have such a cult following and turn hordes of people into blubbering, annoying idiots at the drop of a hat (or the stroke of midnight?). I mean, seriously? Who thinks saying "yarrrr" and "shiver me timbers" all freakin' day is cool or something other people want to hear? Grates on the nerves, it does...
1. Nobody. Well, maybe one of my friends who does everything humanly possible to make sure you're okay with every decision made when you hang out.
ReplyDelete2. The way to my heart is directly through my back.. good massages make me melt. Unfortunately I give them far more frequently than I get them.
3. All of the receipts on my desk at home. I come home, empty my pockets and leave the receipts there. Then I get busy and don't bother cleaning them up. There isn't any real table space at this point. Ooops.
4. Probably 3 or 4 weeks ago at the gym. I'm right where I was right around graduation thanks to training for marathons and half-marathons. I knocked those extra 7-8 pounds off.
5. Well.. it's not what cops say.. but it's equally amusing: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3ZcZ2h4Ths
I don't talk like a pirate on talk like a pirate day.. but my Dad was going to dress up as a pirate at work. I can't wait to see pictures.

ReplyDelete#3: Allan does this with coins. Or used to, anyway. They'd be EVERYWHERE! The ironic part? We actually HAVE a container specifically meant to hold pocket change!
Oh, that scene with the donut force feeding is one of my absolute favorites! Trust Homer to exhaust Hell's supply of torture donuts!
As for your dad-- that's awesome. Did he have your mom apply the eye makeup? :)
1. Who lets you have your way more than you should?
ReplyDeleteI do. I admit it--I am very selfish. I think about myself more than others. I am alone in the world, though, when you get right down to the nitty gritty, so who else is going to look out for me but me?
2. According to the cliche, the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but what’s the way to yours?
Across the bridge, through the ravine, under the lochs, down the tunnel, up the mountain, build a bridge across the moat, swim with the sharks, then stand outside the soundproof titanium walls beating your fists to a pulp. :~)
3. What’s something that should have been put away but hasn’t been?
Hmmm. Nothing, really. I am a stickler for putting away clean clothes and dishes as soon as they are dry. I don't leave stuff in my yard (for fear of it being stolen) and I always put away my things after I use them.
4. When did you last weigh yourself?
Haha, about a month ago. I freaked out when I saw that I had gained over 30 lbs in the past couple years, so I crash dieted with salad and water and got myself back to about 190. :~)
5. What do the cops in the donut shop say? :D
Way-oh-way-oh, oh way oh way oh?
BONUS: Apparently it's that time of year again (that talk like a pirate stuff). Do you follow it?
A sphincter says what? I've never heard of the pirate time of year. What are we talking about??

ReplyDeleteWow, your answer to #2 is pretty bizarre... even for you!
LOL-- did the water and salad diet leave you much energy to go about your day?
Today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Name's pretty self-explanatory. It was started in... 1995, I think? As a parody. And now has a cult following. As you can tell, I don't care much for it.
I think we should start our own wacky parody holiday, what say you? What should our traditions entail?
Ha! Number 2 asked for the way to my heart....that was my way of making light of the situation that it is very difficult for me to let people into my heart. They have a long and difficult battle to forge if they want to try. No one has for a long long time!
ReplyDeleteI did fine---did that goofy salad diet for about 2 weeks and lost 10 lbs, so it served its purpose.
I've never heard of International Talk Like a Pirate day. How stupid!
I'm game for making our own holiday though. Got any ideas? It should involve something on the more technical side---maybe even something that would use spreadsheets! Hehehe.
@2172981777519962088.0
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Stupid idea. BUT, it's highly fascinating to see how quickly it caught on and how widespread it became, which is why I half-joked that we should just start our own holiday and see how many people we can get to follow it! Y'know-- the whole "sheep" mentality thing and whatnot...
Spreadsheets! I should amend my answer to #2 to include them, shouldn't I ;-)
How about: turn your computer off for a day? ;-)
