Questions

1. What are you wearing?   Oh goodness. LOL. Well, from head to toe; a white do-rag to cover up the bedhead, a black tank top, Smurfette themed pajama bottoms, white socks, black fuzzy slippers, and to top off the ensemble…my black “woobie”  sweater-turned-robe that my mother gave me over 20 years ago.(Hey, you asked)
2. Ever been in love?  Yes. Still am.
3. Ever have a terrible break up?  Yes, but all worth it believe it or not.
4. How tall are you?  5’3”, although I can almost swear I’m shrinking…
5. How much do you weigh? How about an estimation instead? I am over 50lbs lighter than I was a few years ago at almost 180lbs.
6. Any tattoos?  Yes, 3. All have meaning in my life. Although still on the fence if I’ll ever get another.
7. Any piercings?  My ears are pierced. I had my nose pierced at 2 different times. The phase did not last beyond 9 months either time.
8. OTP?  Hmmm, apparently I’m uncool, had to look WTH that even meant… My husband and I of course, Our good friends R&J, George Burns and Gracie, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Brad and Angelina, dare I say Edward & Bella?
9. Favorite Shows?  My geeky self encourages me to share that my all-time favorite was in fact, Xena Warrior Princess…then True Blood (although, what was up with the ending????), For now, I am stuck on King of Thrones and patiently waiting for the new season. I am enjoying Constantine on the DVR. I do also LOVE Big Bang Theory, 2 Broke Girls, and Moms. I’m also inspired to check out the new Odd Couple – also loved the old one and oh, The Honeymooners with Jackie Gleason! Too many others as well…
10. Favorite Bands? Bands? Or just music in general? Like my TV show preference, I am bipolar. I love everything from Enya, Kenny G., Pavarotti, etc., to the Righteous Brothers, Beatles, Doors, Janice Joplin, 38 Special, Kansas, Journey, Heart, Styx, Def Leppard, Nine Inch Nails, They Might Be Giants, Lucy’s Fur Coat, Fiona Apple, Sarah McLaughlin, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Whitney, Celine, Pink…..all the way up to Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Tesla, Reba, Garth, Shania, Bette Midler ….it’s endless and depends on whatever mood I am in for that moment.
11. Something you miss?  Simplicity. My parents.
12. Favorite Song? Really? No time to list them all.

16. Favorite Quote? Those that matter don’t judge and those that judge don’t matter.
17. Favorite Actor? I love Tom Hanks because he just seems so honest and real. I love Sean Connery because he is just one hell of a sexy older man. And I love Bette Midler because she is so versatile – even in just one character role. To me, there is no other actor that can make you pee your pants in laughter one second and bawl your eyes out the next. Love her shows too!

23. Ever been in a physical fight? Yes, many times in school. One time in my early adult life. I can say because I’m a lover, I never started them physically but my snarky mouth always got me in trouble.
24. Turn on? Confidence, inspirational, considerate, smiling, affection, respectful articulation, HONESTY.
25. Turn off?  I’ve got to plagiarize some of mamlisa4, … Mean spirited, demanding, uptight, anxious or stressed, too passive, and too add some of my own; dominance seeking, JUDGEMENTAL and DISHONEST
26. The reason I made this blog? I am a chatterbox and realize I have so much within me to try and make sense of in regard to my own outlook of myself and others whom I share this uncertain but amazing world with.  I am also a much better written communicator than a verbal one! Not to mention my long time friend, vickiewhat was the one to encourage me to read and follow her own blog which I absolutely loved and was inspired by! And thus, “met” some truly amazingly talented individuals along the way! And hey, I’ve come to realize it’s good for the ego too…I get followers! Yay for me too!
27. Fears? Losing the ones I love, not being able to forgive, flying, giving up. Anything headless my cats leave behind.

30.  Meaning behind your blog name?  In short, I am someone that feels things so deeply which in itself can be both a blessing and a curse. Love is the one emotion I feel happy about and fear deeper than any other. I did extend on it in my first blog post Why Viva Love Always.
