Would it be hard to kiss the last person you kissed?no. unless i'm really tired and afraid that kiss will lead to something else.
When is it hard to kiss someone? when one or both of us reeks of garlic. or when I'm really tired and afraid that kiss will lead to something else.
You're trapped in a room with your most recent ex for three days, what do you do? tell him how lucky he is that he didn't marry me & that he escaped unscathed. It was really for the best since his parents hated Jews.
Does it matter to you if your significant other smokes? I made Hubs quit before we moved in together. I don't like my stuff smelling like smoke. And it's bad for you! Of course I just mean ciggies. Were you referring to marijuana? Bring on the pot, baby! BRING IT!
Have you ever regretted letting someone go? Yes, but I bet they were thrilled to escape from me
Where would you go if you were butt naked and locked out of your house? um, I would hide in the bushes like a secret agent while I fashioned panties from leaves and wait until Hubs got home. Or maybe I would pretend to be the Venus de Milo in my yard.
Do you want to please everyone? yes, but I fail miserably
Have you ever been called heartless? not yet, but there's a first time for everything, right?
Someone calls you at 3:00 AM, who do you expect it to be? my pimp
Does it matter if your significant other drinks? no, as long he doesn't drink my Mommy Juice. He needs to find his own!
Could you go the rest of your life without doing drugs? I have to say that I could, but what fun would that be?!
Which is better, amazing eyes or an amazing smile? Smile. But only if the teeth are all present & accounted for.
Do you want to get married and have children one day? done and done.
Are you easy to get along with? um, methinks most people would say no?
Do you ever want to go to sleep and not wake up? yes.
Are you shorter than your Mom? nope, taller. Just call me Amazon Woman.
Describe your life currently in one word: fun
Are you on medication for anything? birth control pills (not to prevent pregnancy, seeing as my ovaries are defunct, but instead to keep my hormone levels where they should be so I don't grow excessive amounts of facial hair and start to resemble Cro-Magnon Man) and thyroid medication.
Who would you allow to read your thoughts for one day? holy crap, NO ONE! Well, maybe just that John Edward guy and then I could be on tv!
Are there things in your life that you will never be able to get over? yes--the fact that Johnny Depp was voted People's Sexiest Man of the Year. Also that peanut butter Twix are really hard to find. Oh, and that Panera charges you $1.39 for a pitifully small tub of cream cheese EVEN WHEN YOU ORDERED A BAGEL. Seriously.
If you woke up naked next to the last person you kissed, what would your reaction be? Didn't we just do this? I'm off duty for at least another week.

If you'd like to play along, check out Sunday Stealing here.
1. When is your birthday? I'm a Virgo, baby! And I'm trying not to put too many important personal deets on the internetz due to crazy creeps who are surfing the web. But then does that mean blogging in and of itself is something I shouldn't be doing?! Oh well.
2. Where were you born? The Crescent City, The Big Easy, NOLA
3. Where do you live now? Dorothy & Toto land. But I'm not wearing red sequined pumps.
4. What is your heritage? um, it's very, very old. And exotic. Lots of different, um, stuff coursing through these here veins. Yeah! I'm half Yiddish and half British. Oh wait. I mean Jewish. And some American Indian.
5. Tell us about a weakness. I have so many, it's hard to choose just one. French fries, pie, Kendall Jackson Chardonnay, books, chick flicks, and two little girls who call me "Mommy."
6. What's a goal that you'd like to achieve? I'd like to be a good mommy. You know, one who doesn't rely on insipid cartoons, vodka, or babysitters to get through the day.

8. What was your first thought this morning? Hooray, the girls are spending the night out tonight!

11. Do you like your current relationship status? married with children---love it!
12. Do you (or did you) get along with your parents? yup
13. How often do you drink alcohol? not often enough. I think I'd be a better mom with more regular & rigorous alcohol consumption

C- Could do without: bad hair days and clogged toilets.
D- Dreams and desires: I want to write a book. It's going to be years, people. I have no idea what it will be like or about. I've recently been thinking something along the lines of "Me Talk Pretty One Day," by David Sedaris. Which, if you haven't already read, you must go get. Now.

M- Memorable moment: When Hubby's groomsmen dropped me during the Hora at our wedding (the traditional dance when the bride and groom are carried around while seated on chairs). And on the way down from my chair I flashed my lacy white skivvies to all our guests. Super!

Letters I Write But Don't Have the Cojones to Send (Husband Edition)
I'm once again stealing from Kyslp at Stir-Fry Awesomeness, who recently posted "Letters I Write But Don't Have the Cojones to Send Husband Edition," which you can read here. If you aren't reading/following her, SHAME ON YOU. Get up off your lazy bum & visit her now, she's the best! My lame attempt is below if you don't get too wrapped up in her blog and forget about little ole' me.
Dear Husband,
While I appreciate that you work hard every day to provide us with a lovely home, beautiful things, food to eat, and nice cars to drive, I do not appreciate your frank stupidity and your utter lack of sound judgment.
You are a doctor, a very noble calling to be sure. I admire what you do because I couldn't even get through Intro to Biology in college, let alone Algebra. You are quite talented and there's no doubt in my mind that you are the bee's knees.
That being said, today you clearly left any common sense you had at home in your sock drawer.
Fraternity reunion weekend. I soooooooo get it. You want to be with your friends, consume mass quantities of alcohol and act like idiots (just like you did in college). I generally accept this and don't give you shit about it. You work hard, you deserve to play hard.
But today that all changed. Today you suddenly decided it would be a fabulous idea to play flag football. FAB-U-LOUS. I considered saying something subtle before you left, but (a) I'm not your mother, (b) you are an adult, capable of making your own decisions, and (c) I didn't want to be the naggy wife. So instead I kept my mouth shut.
A little while later, you called. You said, "I broke my shoulder."
I laughed. I knew it was a joke. I mean, c'mon! You're a SURGEON! Surgeons don't do dumb things like play contact sports which could result in serious injuries which in turn could result in not being able to, oh, OPERATE ON PEOPLE?!!?!?!?!?
But it wasn't a joke. You told me it was for realz. So I threw the kids in the car, dropped them at my in-laws, and immediately went to the ER.
You are now on pain meds, in a sling, and I'm livid. Oh, but wait. It gets better. You came home, showered (with my help), got dressed (with my help), and you went back out. With the fraternity guys. To some banquet dinner thing. I am trying to remain calm. But what part of you thinks it's a good idea to go out on the town when you've just suffered a major injury?
For once, could you suck it up and realize you're not 18 anymore and partying like it's 1999 just isn't an option?
If you're not home by 10 p.m. tonight, I am so going to bed and you will have to sleep in your button-down shirt or find someone else to help you re-do your sling and ace bandages.
By the way, if you are feeling well enough to be out on the town tonight, don't think for a second I'm skipping my Girls' Night Out on Monday. No sir. The one saving grace about this little incident is that you will be around more. No work, no golf....hey, maybe I should be grateful this happened?!
No, I think not.
Love,
Your Very Angry and Resentful Wife
