Ask Me Wednesday!!

Happy Wednesday evening, my Peeps.

OK .... just so you know .... I did try to Google the whole "coma" thing and could only come up with two articles.  One was about medically induced comas for burn victims but it was written in Italian.

The other was about medically induced comas for people with some blood disorder, but it was written in Russian.

So until I can find someone to translate these articles, and then see if I can bribe the doctors involved ...... or find any others who are willing to assist me in this quest ...... I will entertain you with pictures from my hell living room.

Welcome to my living room ...... or rather, what is left of it.

These shots are from yesterday ..... when the carpet was still in ...... well, sort of:

     Here is what it looks like tonight ......




     Lovely, ain't it?  

Really ..... it's better than the carpet.  

Well .... maybe not as better as I had anticipated ...... but still ..... I am glad to have the carpet out.

Now you can all place your bets as to how long it will be before the floor is installed ..... or the stairs are finished.

I'm guessing ...... way over a week (as opposed to what I've been told .... a couple of days).  

I may be crazy ...... but I'm not an idiot ..... nor am I new to this remodeling stuff any longer.

I am a hardened skeptic.  

We shall see what we shall see.

     So Son #3 had another track meet tonight.  He did well on the pole vault again ..... I think he may have come in 4th, but we're not sure yet.

He also ran the 200, and he came in second in the second heat.  Which means, in track lingo .... he didn't do a great job, but in my lingo ..... considering that he was running this as a sub and only because he was a warm body ..... he did a wonderful job!!!!!

     OK ..... the living room and the track meet ..... I think that's it.

I'm still very, very tired.  But I guess it's par for the course.

My hip still hurts very, very much ..... and ditto.

Oh ..... and yes, I played tennis today (and will tomorrow) so that may be tied in there somewhere, but I don't care.  It helps me emotionally more than it hurts me physically so I keep playing.

And now ..... for the moment you've all been waiting for ........ 

ummmmmmm ..... not really ........ it was a slow question week .......... so ......... 

now for the moment one or two of you have been waiting for ........

the questions!

From Ann:

If you want to you can save this for AMW - I know you have dreamed of theatre and acting. Would you have headed East or West? And is your dream job today the same as when you were younger?

I think, if I had not met Jim, I would have headed West.  If I had to do it over again today I may have decided to head East instead.

Who knows.

But yes, my dream job would still be to be an actress.  Or a L & D nurse or mid-wife.

kk asks:
Do you cook dinner for you and #3 every night? Or at least get something on the table for him if you're at meetings or whatever? If yes, what does he eat? My boy will snack all afternoon on popcorn, chips, junk, etc., and if I make dinner he'll totally eat it. If it's a "yo-yo" night (You're On Your Own), he'll just pop another bag of microwave popcorn. Need dinner thoughts!

OK, KK ...... after I picked myself up off of the floor and wiped away the tears from laughing so hard ........ ummmmmmmm, no, I do not cook every night.

Poor Son #3 will have an encyclopedia to write when he grows up.

I try to cook for him a couple of times a week.  

Yes.  I.  Am.  A.  Horrible.  Mother.

I am not in denial of that fact.

I usually try to make sure that there is something in the fridge/pantry/freezer that he can fix easily for the nights I have a meeting or am out, but he mostly chooses to eat a bowl of cereal or a bowl of Ramen noodles.

He loves my spaghetti sauce and he loves something I call a taco ring (taco-seasoned ground beef in a ring of crescent roll dough, with cheese, baked for about 20 minutes.

He also loves tacos.

He'd be pleased if I made those two dishes several times a week.

He has boring tastes and he drives me crazy when it comes to trying to cook something.

I always called "yo-yo" nights "whatever" nights.  When the kids knew I would be out for the evening they'd ask, "Can we have "whatever" for dinner?"  They loved "whatever" nights.  I imagine Son #3 is now quite over the thrill.

He loves shrimp, grilled chicken ...... and a few other things.

I used to be much, much better at this.

About ...... oh, a little over 15 months ago ............

Oh well.

Dawn asks:

Ok, my question for AMW is...
What movie is this from:

"They would think that you know nuttin, you are missin here a button...????

I know you'll get it I just gotta get something harder for ya.

OK, I know this is sung with a Yiddish accent, right?  Barbara?

I know that I know this ..... but at 10:30 p.m. I cannot bring it to the front of my brain so ....... you win.

What's it from?

Well, I think that's it ...... I know that someone asked me another question today ..... and I said I'd put it on the blog ..... but I also can't remember what that was.

Sigh.

My brain is fried.

And in spite of the fact that you, my Peeps, did not ask nearly enough questions ...... I am still going to reward you with what I think is a great video.

I hope you enjoy it ........
