Thursday Thunks: At The Zoo

It’s time for another edition of Thursday Thunks, and I’m giving myself an extra pat on the back for remembering it yet again this week!  Maybe I’m not going crazy after all!

Thursday Thunks: At the Zoo

The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of my neighbor’s wife’s eyes and the number 33,333.

1. Would you rather have a pet hippo or a pet elephant? A hippo because hippos are just way cooler.

2. Why do you think bananas are shaped the way they are? To make us ask questions like this one.

3. In one word (OK, you can go three to four MAX) , what do most people describe you as? loquacious!

4. Choice (stupid but a choice…): Loss of vision, ability to speak or hearing – which do you choose? (you have to choose one….) It’s like a law. But we can’t make you. Hmmm that’s a hard one.  I’m going to choose the ability to speak.  I want to watch my little girl grow up with my own two eyes, and I want to here her the first time she says “Mommy, I love you!”, but I can communicate without words coming out of my mouth.

5. Do you like lemons? Do you use them to clean with or just as a food source? Or are you saving them up for 2012? I eat them, but I don’t clean with them.  I’m not a fan of their scent.

6. When you are feeling icky with that sickness feeling, what is your first choice for feel-better medicine? A hot cup of herbal tea.  It’s my go to cure for almost everything.

7. You are starving. You have not had anything to eat for days. In front of you is poison ivy, a live hissing cockroach, and a rotten stinky piece of some sort of mystery meat to eat. Which would you pick and why?  The cockroach.  It may be icky and hissing, but it’s a great source of protein!  Besides, if I don’t eat the nasty little bugger it’ll live forever.

8. Who was the last person you bought a present for? What was it? Will you buy Berleen one?  I bought the little one a new sippy cup and a pair of PJs today.  She could care less about the PJs as she’d prefer to run around naked, but she got so excited about the sippy cup and refused to put it down until I wrangled it away from her at bedtime.  I’d gladly buy Berleen a sippy cup if she’s into that sort of thing.

9. Name 3 things you want your kids to learn before they grow up. (If you don’t have kids, feel free to explain to the other players why you chose the “no kids“ choice. Yea. I know. (Those who have children will NEVER get it. And no, don‘t explain it…) Wow, this list could go on forever.  I’m living the parenting life day by day, so let’s just stick with the basics.  I want her to learn that she can talk to me about anything, no matter what it is.  I want her to learn to make her own decisions when it comes to her beliefs, and I want her to learn that following the golden rule really does make a difference in your life.

10. What was your favorite toy as a child? What happened to it? I never had one particular favorite toy, but it would be a toss up between my cabbage patch dolls and my rainbow brite doll.  I still have all of them.

11. If you could paint your house ANY color you wanted and your friends, family & neighbors would love the color from the moment they saw it, what would it be?  Clemson Orange!

12. If the Pillsbury Dough Boy got into a fight with Mrs. Butterworth who would win? And would anybody get hurt? And do we seem desperate even asking? Mrs. Butterworth would totally kick Pillsbury Dough Boy’s butt because she’s totally badass.  Dough boy would probably run home crying to his Mommy, but I’m sure Mrs. Butterworth would be too classy to physically harm him.

13. What was the last thing you would guess that Kimber took a picture of? Oh. And consider the meme listed below. Click on it. It rocks.  I’m going to say herself.

Thunk About Money

Yep it’s time for the newest edition of Thursday Thunks.  You should be very proud of me because not only did I remember it this week, I’m actually doing it ahead of time!  I must give myself a small pat on the back because I’m lucky to even remember my name most days.

Anywho, let’s get to the good stuff.

Thursday Thunks: Giving Away Money

The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of organic salsa and the number 3333.

 

1. To whom did you last give the finger?  My dear Hubby, but I’m sure he deserved it.

2. If you had 1,000 dollars and HAD to spend it, what would you buy?  I’d pay the utilities before buying baby supplies, clothes, food, and such.  It doesn’t take us long to blow through $1,000 because we’re always needing something. 

3. What was the last beverage you spilled on yourself? Iced Tea

4. When was the last photograph you took? What was it of? I took a photo of my beautiful little girl tonight.  She was playing with the camera.

5. Who was the last person to smoke a cigarette in your presence? My cousin

6. What animal did you last pet or hold? My bulldog, Bubba.

7. What was the last superstitious thing you did? I threw the extra salt in my hand over my shoulder last night while cooking dinner.

8. What was the last text message you received? A tweet from a friend about a movie he just watched.

9. Berleen has decided to buy twelve goats. If she trades three for some awesome pot, loses one while she was stoned, what do you think she did with the rest?  She probably got them all stoned with her, and left them to sleep it off.

10. What was the last musical instrument played in your presence?  Do Rock Band instruments count?  No?  Ok them my FIL’s drums.

11. What was the last note that you wrote on your hand? A grocery list.

12. Kimber announced that she was born on another planet. Which one do you think it was  and why? Venus…because aren’t all women from Venus?

13. What are you wearing as you answer these ridiculously stupid TT questions?  One of Hubby’s t-shirts (that swallows me whole) and a pair of panties.  Don’t get any ideas…I’m ready for bed.

Thursday Thunks: The I Actually Remembered It Edition

It’s time for another edition of Thursday Thunks, and this time I actually found the time to participate!

The TT questions are brought to you by Berleen, the color of lightning bolts and the number 1.


A. If you see a tornado out your window, what do you do?

I’d never see it because I’d already be hiding. I have a horrible tornado phobia.

B. A celebrity knocks on your door saying that their tour bus/limo/pedal bike broke down (you pick the transportation)… who is it and what do you do to help them?
Just my luck it’d be someone like Paris Hilton, and I’d take her wherever she wanted to go just to get her the heck out of my place.

C. Brett is back on the Vikings – do you really give a crap?
nope


D. What side of the bed do you think Bud sleeps on?

neither, probably in the middle

E. Cookie Monster eats vegetables now. Is this ok with you?
It’s great that he eats veggies, but he’s just not cookie monster without any cookies!

F. All the TT’s get together for coffee… which state do we meet in?
Anywhere with a cool breeze and zero humidity. I’m tired of all this heat.

G. Is the town you live in famous for anything? Infamous for anything?
Not really. I’m in the middle of nowhere here.

H. Coffee flavored bubble gum – would you?

I don’t think so. That just sounds gross.

I. So Kimber lost her fight with a granite table…. what did you ever lose a fight with?
The cat, the dog, chairs that tend to magically appear in my way…the list goes on. This morning I lost my fight with the baby when she didn’t want to wear a diaper. She peed on the floor twice before I finally got a diaper on her.

J. Have you ever slept beneath the stars?
Yep. I love camping out in the open air, but it’s something we haven’t done in awhile.

K. School is starting up soon, or has for some, did you get a new pair of tennis shoes every year while you were in school?

I was so rough on my shoes I normally got 2-3 new pair every year. Then there were those times I outgrew them so quickly.

L. What two flavors do you love that you would never want to taste at the same time?

Garlic & Pina Colada

M. If you could shave a quote into a lions fur, what would it say?

WTF?

N. Did you ever accidentally walk in on your parents doing the nasty? Did you ever purposely walk in on them?

I’m sure I did when I was very young, but I don’t ever remember. Purposely? That’s just gross.

Wishing For A Night Out

Hubby and I were just discussing how we would love to have to opportunity to go out for a late night date one night, but we both know that won’t happen anytime soon. The little one is nowhere near ready for an overnight with any of her grands, and she goes into a screaming fit if we pick her up past 9pm.

We’ve had quite a few concert opportunities present themselves to us lately, but we had to turn down all of them. It’s just my luck that I wait forever for some of my favorite bands to come to our area, and they finally set tour dates near us when I have no possible way to attend.

Oh well. We made a pact that as soon as the little one is old enough for a sleepover with Grandma we’ll go see some of the bands we’ve been missing. Hubby would snatch up U2 tickets right now if he could, but they won’t be anywhere near us until next June. Then they’ll be in Miami, FL, so we’d have to make a vacation out of it. Unless a babysitter wanted to tag along we’d have to leave her here. You never know what will happen almost a year from now, though, so there’s still a slight chance we might get to take a trip to see one of our favorite bands.
