Qweenie tagged me. I’m honored and obliged.
Here are the instructions and my answers:
A) Each player answers the questions about themselves.
B) At the end of the post, the player then tags 2 people and posts their names, then goes to their blog and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog. [READ: Not doing it. I don't believe in tagging people. But I love it when tag me. I'm selfish like that.]

Silly Wabbit! Tee hee!
Here is the big difference between us. First of all, I accidentally posted a comment with an endearment in your last post, and since you hate that, sorry. That had nothing to do with anything. Anyways. Um. Oh yeah. If I had a million dollars, a kitchen wouldn’t exist in my home, unless it was manned by a gourmet chef.
Those commercials are dumb. Pop Tarts especially annoys me to no damn end. But commercials in general seem to suck lately. I want to see awesome commercials, like the IBM 1984 one, not a bunch of half assed dumbed down garbage.
This is a pretty cool idea! Maybe I’ll tag myself on it!
P.S. I hate yogurt too!
In my starving artist days, I’d always think about applying for a job at a strip club – it was the fear of being rejected that kept me from doing it!
I think I could go without Martha stuart envying my kitchen, she’d just turn out and make it hers somehow. That wouldn’t be very nice!
Thanks for stopping by my place and leaving a comment, I like the way ya write here. :)
You.Are.Too.Funny.
I also take 5 minute showers-each and every time.
I can’t believe you actually Like grocery shopping! I hate it- such a chore.. You wanna do mine for me? I’ll pay you!
I think I love you. Too bad I’m a married woman.
I don’t watch TV, haven’t for years, so really cannot recall why either commercial would be funny OR cruel. And five minute showers? Yikes; for me, it is my only time when I can actually pretend to not hear the kids-20 minutes!
i love memes…they are so fun to read and you get to learn such interesting facts of some of your favorite bloggers…like you!!
xoxo
Interesting answers, you caught me off guard a few times!
P.S. I fixed my blog. Now go hear me prattle on for 2.5 minutes… :o) <3
I love cooking (like REAL cooking) too, but my kitchen sucks hard, so I rarely do it.
I also relate to the not liking kids or people. Of course I adore my own, but I struggle with them having friends over etc. I have to force myself to allow it. As a nurse, it seems the more I work, the stupider people get. (except for you there, reading this. You’re FABULOUS.)
yes, FINALLy someone has sent a bullet in the direction of those damned friggin trix people. oh they are so evil it makes me seethe with anger. their cereal tastes like hatred in my mouth.
wow. on the grocery thing? total opposites, you and me. if i ever “lost it”, i hope it’s in a grocery store so i can tell everyone there what i really think.
snow? we are twins. although my hatred of it began in 1981, when i was, um, -10… okay i was 11.
crap i’m old!
no i’m not.
no, i’m not.
no, i’m really really not.
Hey, I dig rockabilly too. Check out Truckstop Honeymoon. I try to like people but am usually disappointed and I take 5 minute showers. Oh ya…and I did the exotic dancer scene too…but not private I suppose. What does that mean? We have so much in common – except that you are a serial killer.
Private Exotic Dancer? Wow! I’ll bet you’ve got some stories to tell, make great blog fodder!
I’m also a non-tagger who likes being tagged. :-)
Wow . . . 10 years ago I was getting married and hoping my breasts would develop. Yikes! Your to do list was killer!!!
Lovin’ those jobs :) I’m thinkin’ your life should give you plenty to write about!
I’m stuck on the private exotic dancer thing. I totally want to get one of those exotic dancer workout tapes, but with my great (ahem) dancing moves it would probably look more like a cow having a seizure.
So I’m jealous that you can obviously move with the best of them.
Exotic dancer? I’m interested. I’ve always looked at it as total explotation of women and made it totally clear to my man that porn won’t fly, yet I know you are an empowered woman. Tell me more. Was it for the money? Would you ever do it again?
Great meme.
Hey – that exotic dancer thing really caught everyone’s attention. My breasts still haven’t developed, so that was never a career option for me.
How do you do the thing with your posts where it only shows some of it and you have to click on SHOW MORE…?
Love it!!
5 minute showers are the norm for me, course that’s because ater everyone else is done all that is left is 5 minutes of hot water (5 minutes IF I’m lucky)…LOL
I love it too. I also love your meme tagging rules..haha, you’re so badass. Love!
@mama zen – LOLOL. Monster!
@star – the skittles commercials are pretty bad too.
@april – there’s always a place. For everyone. Somewhere. LOL.
@smart a$$ mom – We’re dirty girls according to my husband!
