Sunday Stealing for Today

For Sunday, we'll play Sunday Stealing .. where we use stolen blogs ..

In your opinion, what makes a great relationship? Trust and Love brings Passion. I think they all have to be there to keep the relationship great.

How did/could someone win your heart? Love and kindness could win my heart, but at this moment my heart has been shaken ... so I'm getting a little protective, and really not sure if it can be won anymore

In your world, what brings on more creativity? If I knew this answer, I would pursue it! My creative photography juices have disappeared ..

What is the single best decision you have made in your life so far? My recent job change? I think it's too soon to tell ... leaving my marriage? I have more happy moments now than I realized ..  allowing my heart to be stolen? I have never loved so deeply!

Why did you break up with your last ex? Truth be told, he did the breaking, but I was at the door .. I found myself having lost the trust, and felt I was no longer important enough to him.

What is your favorite word? Ha, ha ..who am I talking to?? I like to say "why"

What would you want to be written on your tombstone? I hope I don't have a tombstone .. just "sink me in the river, at dawn, send me away with the words of a love song" 

Give me the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word: delusional Bruce my dog

What is a saying you use a lot? "do you know what i mean?"

What is your current desktop picture?

My Iphone

What would be a question where you'd not tell the truth? Did you eat that whole bag of Trader Joe's Trail Mix .. all 1500 calories worth in one day??

You accidentally eat some radioactive vegetables. They were good, and what's even better is that they endow you with super powers of your choice. What is that power? To grow that money tree that teenagers seem to think I have (yes, that too is a super power!)

You can re-live any point of time in your life. The time-span can only be a half-hour, what half-hour experience would you relive? That evening we sat on the floor, ate take out, and allowed our toes to touch

Erase any a horrible experience from your past, what will it be? Standing next to my dad's hearse ..  and silently not wanting to accept that we were going to his memorial service

You just got a free plane ticket to anywhere. You have to depart right now.. where would you go? Can I bring a 'friend' ??? All exclusive beach resort ... what I would do to be back on a beach!!


Happy start of a new week!

Sunday Stealing ..

Here is another edition of Sunday Stealing ...  stealers stealing posts for blogging ... click here to play ..Cheers to all of us thieves!

What was the last thing you put in your mouth? A big gulp of wine .. Peyton didn't play to well .. needed some consolation ..

How late did you stay up last night and why? I don't remember exactly what time I crawled into bed ..it was when he woke me up after I curled up on the couch and fell asleep as he watched the dvr'd Notre Dame game after the Christmas party ...

If you could move somewhere else, would you? Not at this moment .. the teenagers have had too much upheaval .. I must stay put for at least the next three years .. Sunshine, warmth and water ...

Have you ever been kissed under fireworks? I don't believe I have been kissed under fireworks .. but I think I have seen fireworks when I have been kissed ..

Do you believe ex’s can be friends? uhhmmmmm, I don't think this is a good question to ask me at this time .. try again in maybe four years, when both my teenagers are over 18 ...

If we were to look in your facebook inbox, what would we find? Just a couple of emails .. nothing big..I'm not a face book fan and often question why I have reactivated my facebook ... it stirs too much emotions
Say you were given a drug test right now, would you pass? yes .. just give me my wine and I'm happy
Has anyone ever called you perfect before? hmm.. no, I don't think so .. I've been called many things .. but perfect? that would be a lot of pressure..

Someone knocks on your window at 2:00 a.m.: who do you want it to be? there better be a d@mn good reason that someone climbed a ladder  to knock at my window at 2:00 am when my cell phone is on, and I have a front door without my dad and his dog guarding the house!

Do you think too much or too little? most definitely an over thinker....

Do you believe in fairy tales? No, I stopped believing .

Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work? Are you telling me I have a wonder tongue?

What song do you want played at your funeral? I would have to do some research, but probably something happy .. because really, it's all about celebrating a life ..
Would you tell your parents if you were gay? ... hmm, at this stage in my life yes .. back 15, 20 ..30 years ago ... probably not .. I think my dad would have had difficulty with it, and my mom would not have known how to handle it ~ so it would have been easier to keep it quiet.
What would your last meal be before getting executed? REALLY?? .. sorry, I find this question ridiculous .. I'll never be in this situation ... so... not playing!

Do you walk around the house naked? Hmm... I've had my moments .. especially this summer when it was too hot to get dressed after a shower and I still had to put on my make up and dry my hair .. and the teenagers were in Texas .. so I was home alone playing loud music .. ahhhhh, those were the days ...
What do you do as soon as you walk in the house? Examine the damage ..

Who is the person you can count on the most? I choose to only count on myself ..

What is your favorite Holiday? Thanksgiving ..

It's driving me crazy that this is all I can think of. (oh dear, you know what they say about substitute and chocolate .. maybe I'm lacking something good and sweet!)
50. Do you hate anyone? No .. I'm not a hater ..
51. What were you doing at 12 am last night? sleeping in my full size bed

53. Can a man and woman be friends without having feelings for each other? ohhh .. I say yes .. just don't get ever explore the possibilities in your mind .. I think there are several factors to a relationship  .. there's the physical attraction, the personality compatibility, where the morals and values are similar, and the basic "i really like being with this person" ... I think all three (four) have to have a strong presence in order for it to go beyond the friendship. (plus the moons need to be in alignment at the same time .. and Pluto needs to ride with Venus for it all to really work!)
54. Do you think long distance relationships work? If you’ve had one, tell us about it. That's tough .. I think it's a way to build a strong bond, as long as there is honesty .. and the expectations are kept real.

55. Do you know why it’s called “Random Boredom“? What is called "Random Boredom"?
56. Do you thing that it’s always the man’s responsibility to initiate sex? I have never thought it was the man's responsibility to initiate sex .. I just need to get over the fear of rejection factor!
57. Have you ever made love while you were in the same room with another couple? uhhhh ...humm... room ... no?! Wait, is this a trick question?
58. Tell us the best thing about your current or most recent S/O. My S/O? does that stand for special other/significant other/someone other [than]..(is that what we call it now??) ..sounded like "special order" or something .. i haven't placed a special order recently!  haha!
59. Tell us the worst thing about your current or most recent S/O.  I am sure the question is more about personality of a person (rather than the special order!) .. but if there was a "worst thing" then it wouldn't be part of the personality traits that make someone so attractive .. we all have our positives and negatives .. it's what makes the person .. it's about making sure that we can balance the good with the bad.

I couldn't resist ... end of summer is so inevitable .. the flowers are losing their luster.. but then I looked again ..


The colors are just going to be different .. still pretty.
