Twenty+ Questions Game



Kelly from My Voice, My View tagged me in this twenty questions game not long ago. She is darn lucky that I adore her so much because I've decided to play along. (I don't always do these tag games or forwards but this one seemed fun).

So, here goes:

1) What’s your current obsession?
Writing, reading and trying to lose weight so I can have a beach body (by next summer?)

2) What’s your weirdest obsession?
I become a bit obsessive compulsive about chairs being pushed under a table. I always want the chairs at our dinner table to be in, when not in use.

3) What are you wearing today?
Pajamas

4) Why is today special?
Weekend and lazy day - time to catch up and soak in a little me time

5) What would you like to learn to do?
Surf, write better and cook a Thanksgiving turkey

6) What’s the last thing you bought?
Milk and rice at the grocery store - oh, the glamorous life I lead!

7) What are you listening to right now?
The voices in my head and my fingers typing furiously.

8) What’s your favorite weather?
Autumn days with a light jacket on my way to a pumpkin patch. I better learn to like the beach and hot, humid days though....

9) What’s your most challenging goal right now?
Trying to find out where I stand on my feelings about faith, god and religion

10) What do you think about the person who tagged you?
I wish I lived next door to her. She's so kind and inviting. She seems to have a warm soul and a big heart. Visit Kelly. You'll adore her and her blog too!

11) What's your favorite guilty pleasure?
Alcohol on the weekends - amaretto sour, margarita or just a beer. Sip slowly and enjoy.

12) Favorite vacation spot?
So far, it has been the bigger cities like San Francisco and Chicago. I like the hustle and bustle since I'm not used to it. Plus they have so much to do, offer and so many wonderful places to eat!

13) What would you like to have in your hands right now?
A $100 dollar bill?

14) What would you like to get rid of?
Roaches and most bugs in general. Where is Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones from Men in Black when I need them?

15) If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go:
To the moon? I don't know. If I only have an hour, that's not much time to enjoy anything.

16) Which language do you want to learn?
French, just so I can be rude back to French people someday but also tell them how much I love their wine.

17) What super power would you like to possess?
Mind reader.

18) What’s your favorite thing about the city you live in?
Nothing, except for the friends I have who live here in Montgomery, AL. But I'm leaving here soon so hopefully I'll love my new dwelling in Pensacola, Florida.

19) What’s your favorite piece of clothing in your own closet?
A little black dress that makes me appear little. ;-)

20) What’s your dream job?
Screenplay or sitcom writer. Also, a food critic and travel writer.

21) What is the last thing that happened that made you laugh really hard?
My daughter Vivian makes this "sad" face but really she places her hands down her face and then she gives a really mean look as she says the word "sad" and it's really hysterical. I laugh and then she laughs. Apparently, she really is a comedian because she seems to enjoy making Kirk and me laugh.

22) Do you admire anyone’s style?
I admire the style of anyone who is comfortable in their own skin and has a sense of humor.

23) Describe your personal style.
Funny, serious, goofy, deep-thinker, angel, devil, back and forth, back and forth....

24) Who’s fashion show would you want tickets to? Fashion show?
I'd rather sit in the audience of a live show like Regis and Kelly, David Letterman or The Office TV series.

25) What talent would you like to have?
I would like to be craftier and learn how to make things in the home. I also wish I could sew.

26) What are you most proud of?
That I continue to look at myself, analyze my being and strive to improve who I am.

27) If you could choose one person to have lunch with who would it be and why?
My mom, so she could pay the bill. :-) Gwen Stefani or Bono from U2 would be my second choice.

Now the rules of this tag:

Respond and rework: answer the questions on your blog, replace one question you dislike with a question of your own invention. Then tag a few people to answer the questions.

I tag the following people below. Go visit their blogs (just because I say so).

-Giggly Monkey

-Antsy Pants

-Speaking from the Crib

-Yankee Girl

-Gumbo Writer

Lovely ladies who I have asked to do this homework assignment - Feel free to play along or ignore me. It's totally up to you. I promise not to get my feelings hurt.

I chose to do this because (a) I really like Kelly who tagged me and (b) I thought it was a fun way to share more about myself with my few readers. But like I said, play along or don't. You'll still be a rock star in my book. And if anyone else who reads this post wants to play along too, please do so.

If you decide to leave a comment on this post, please answer one of the questions above so that I can learn more about you. Thanks!

28) More awards. Check out my blog.;-)

Crystal said...

Love it! You, my dear, are awesome. Especially because of question #16. LOL.

6.) I just bought a little blonde curly Marilyn Monroe wig for my cat and dog. No, I'm not one of those crazy people who buys clothes for their animals, but I saw it on sale at Target and knew much hilarity would ensue. Needless to say they both hate it.

Love your blog! I'm a follower now. I'm an Amaretto Sour girl too. We'd go out to bars when I was single and that was the thing my friends and I swore by. It ended up being the perfect date drink too. But now I never really choose it...I usually make Pina Coladas at home on the rare occasions I drink.

septembermom said...

Thank you so much for the kind words, Mandy! You are a true sweetheart and I'm so glad that I "found" you in this bloggy world :) You would be a great sitcom writer. Can I join you and Bono for lunch? Wouldn't that be so cool?

ItsKelly said...

mmmm... I havn't had an amaretto sour in forever. I forgot how much I love them! You'd be a great sitcom writer!

Angie Ledbetter said...

Thanks for the tag, Mandy! I'll *try* to get to it asap. (Am in the hot middle of getting the fall issue of Rose & Thorn done, plus revamping the newsletter and getting a new site up and running for it...plus all the other "fun stuff" of life dealing with my three teens, etc. etc. etc.) :D

Guilty pleasure = nappage!

Yankee Girl said...

It drives me nut when people don't push in chairs!!! Why is drives me nuts, I have no idea.

I'll play along soon!

Not trying to Spam here, but your statement of "Trying to find out where I stand on my feelings about faith, god and religion..." reminds me of myself and things I came to realize.
