25 questions - Trost and myself

Rate: 2 Flag

1. Lingerie & pajamas. Bullshit. What do you really sleep in?  

Anything cotton, mostly pajama pants and camisole tops. My husband negotiates for sleeping in the nude and jokes it's the cure for all things. If I have a headache his response will be "You know the cure for that? Sleeping naked. Apparently this is a cure for all things from blisters to overdrafts!  

2. What’s the one thing in your refrigerator you’re damned angry about if someone touches it? 

That Thing I Wanted and didn't tell anyone about because I forgot.  

3. What’s the one thing you do so well that when you’ve done it, you stand back and say, “YES!” 

Nothing. But I do many things well enough to say, "Cool!"  

4. What’s your one piece of clothing that you want to wear everyday and you would if you could and not get stared at? 

My black low rise Ariat riding britches - those specifically, that one pair! 

5. What scares the shit out of you? 

One of my kids dying  

6. What is your favorite physical feature? The one you look at and think, “damn, that’s good!” 

I like my collar bones 

7. Have you ever actually read the Bible? 

Yes but not recently, I once thought that becoming an Episcopal Priest was my calling and then I realized I was hearing someone else’s echo.  

8. Who is the most overrated celebrity / personality / politician / human being to ever walk earth? 

Most people described as a celebrity or personality are overrated - I don't waste time thinking about who has the least value 

9. What is your favorite physical activity? 

Riding Horses 

10. What is the worst concert you’ve ever seen? And folks, if you can name more than one - rethink your definition of worst. Worst. Go. 

The Ramones playing my college homecoming - it was tragic  

11. You control the world’s radio station for the length of one song. (One song for God’s sake. One. Draw your line.) What tune do you play? 

Bohemian Rhapsody 

12. First kiss. Yeah, we know your Mother kissed your head. We get all that. First real - OMG that shook my knees - kiss. You tasted - you wanted more. 

Randy - In the Boston Mountains after building trail on my 17th birthday. The stars were amazing and so was he. 

13. You can have anything to drink on earth. What one beverage is your favorite? 

Walmart brand lime water - weirdly good!  

14. What film do you love so much that when you view it you follow the dialogue in your head? 

None - just not my thing. I will see things more than once but not THAT much  

15. Okay. You’re damn tired. It’s been a long day. You want to go to bed but you don’t have any sheets on it. Do you make it? Or throw yourself on it? 

Make it!! OMG why wasn't it made? The sheets are clean so I have to have a shower as well!  

16. Who is the funniest person ever?

My sister! 

17. If you could have one more look at a person, who would you choose? 

My Grandfather - such a force in my life and missed greatly! 

18. There are no health issues: no diabetes, no cholesterol, no high blood pressure. We don’t have to gnaw fiber. You can eat what you want without consequence. What’s for breakfast? 

Just coffee - donuts later if we can have breakfast for dinner! 

19. Yeah. You can have him/her and there are no consequences. Who? Who is your ideal partner? 

My husband, no kidding. 

20. What is your deal breaker in a friendship (not a romantic relationship)? 

Continual dishonesty - once as a mistake or a minor thing OK. If we are talking about habitual - the deal breaker.  

21. If you could effortlessly change one aspect of yourself, what would you choose? 

The genetic short stick I am handing on to my kids.  

22. If you can banish one thing from the earth - what would you chose? And come on - let’s let beauty pageant contestants handle hatred, poverty, and racism. What one thing do you want removed without consequence? 

Roaches  

23. What’s the best product? What item do you recommend to people? 

iPhone - put an little i in front of anything and I'm a goner!  

24. If you could, would you live on a desert island? In a monastery? Do you like solitude or do you like people surrounding you? 

I like selected people around me - assholes unwelcome. Oh ... and bring your kindle. We can share!  

25. What is your best childhood memory? 

Time spent with my sister - we laughed in the face of the crazy!

Great list. #6 reminds me i used to really like my collarbones until i had a bad motorcycle wreck that left a big notch in one.

Well, to me it's big.
Thanks! Sleeping naked will fix that according to certain self appointed experts. LOL!
Kate it is Clear American Key Lime. I am going to have to go back to rehab for this stuff but I don't care! A friend and I both love it and it doesn't stay on shelves long so we piled all 38 bottles into our cart. We were a darling pair - a woman and her Gusband dressed in riding clothes and mud pushing a cart of lime water and cat litter!
