Sunday Stealing: 35 x Questions x 2 Meme Part 2



Welcome back to Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere.




Today we ripped this meme off blogger named Chibi Pon from the blog Please Don't Stop the Music. She states that she grabbed it from a friend on Nettby XD. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. It is a long meme, so we will do it in two parts. Today is part two. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all of us thieves!


{I missed the first part of this meme, but it really doesn't make a difference}





36. If you suddenly became single or are single, do you think you could last in a relationship for 12 months or more? Don't even THINK it... but, no I don't think I could. I had the WORST relationship in my first marriage and then the best relationship with my second. I don't think I'd try for the third.

37. Do you forgive or forget? Depends on the person.

38. Do you trust people? Not usually. It takes a lot for me to trust a person.

39. What are you not looking forward to? Getting our house ready to sell, then packing up and moving. (UGH - the work!)

40. Do you get mad easily? Only at bad drivers. It's a good thing I don't drive much and that I am only the passenger, that way I can just close my eyes.

41. Tell us about the last time you were told you that you have pretty eyes. Today, my hubby tells me every day - and I usually have someone tell me almost every day. I don't like to brag, but they are my best feature.


42. Do you have strange dreams? No, I don't sleep really well, I don't dream much at all.

43. Ever licked someone's cheek or forehead? Yes.

44. Tell us about the last time you fell asleep in someones arms. Every night, hubby and I like to snuggle.

45. When did you last play a game? I play video games on my phone, my Nintendo and my computer every day.

46. What do you have on you at all times? My wedding ring... it has not come off my finger since the day I got married 3/15/97.

47. Do you go out in public without getting all dressed up? Yep! I don't care what people think of me.

48. Do you like fruity or minty gum? Minty - cinnamon or fresh mint are my favorites.

49. Favourite musician or group? Elvis forever!!

50. Do you like anyone? I like a lot of people... that's a dumb questions.

51. Favourite computer game? Bejeweled and Mahjong.

52. First album you ever went and bought with your own money? "Night at the Opera" by Queen - then my parents made me destroy it because it was "demonic." My darling husband bought me the CD for our first Christmas after I told him that story.


53. Think back five months ago, were you single? No

54. Do you believe in celebrating anniversaries? In a HUGE way!

55. Do you think someone is thinking about you right now? I hope so... I hope I have made someone happy and made them smile or cheered them up somehow.

56. Last thing you bought? Easter outfits for my puppies. Go ahead and laugh, they are my babies now that my boys are all grown up and they are the cutest little babies EVER!!

57. Are you a jealous person? No, people who work hard deserve their nice things! When it comes to my husband, I know he loves me because he shows me and tells me every single day in big and little ways, so there is no reason to be jealous... other women should be jealous of me! TeeHee

58. Does it take a lot to make you cry? Heck no! I cry at coffee commercials.... I'm menopausal!







59. Do you have a friend of the opposite sex you can talk to? Yes... he is also a friend of my husband, too.

60. Have you ever had your heart-broken? Of course... I think everyone has. (Did you get extra points for writing stupid questions this week???)

61. Have you ever done something while drunk that you still cannot believe you did? Oh, yes... and unfortunately it is on video - we were in New Orleans and I had already had 2 Hurricaines! (I have only been drunk a handful of times my entire life, too.)

62. Is there anyone you secretly wish you could be spending your time with right now? Nope... I'm with my hubby, snuggled in bed, with my two puppies at our feet. It's the best place to be.




63. Do you text? Um, yes! Another silly question!


64. Do you wish someone would call or text you right now? I'd love to hear from my son, Nikolaus, just to know he is safe.




65. Is your life anything like it was a year ago? No... it's better.


66. Go back one year on your blog. Leave us a link to your favorite post. I wasn't blogging a year ago in April. I didn't start regularly blogging until June 2009.

67. You can only drink ONE liquid for the rest of your life, what is it? Water, preferably Aquafina... I know, I am so totally boring, but I LOVE water!



68. Tell us about someone that you have lost contact with someone you wish you didn't. My friend Monika.. it has been 10 years since I have seen or talked to her, but it was her choice. I chose to leave a religion that was no longer right for me and I was then shunned. I keep telling myself it is their loss, but in my heart it still hurts.(Not enough to go back to the cult.)

69. What is the last thing you said out loud? I love you.

70. Will this year be better than last? Um, yes. Answered that in #65


That brings us to the close of another Sunday Stealing. Now don't forget to visit the other participants of this meme, I'm sure there are lots of great answers... see you next week. Hope you have a fabulous Easter!


Until next time..... Lorie

Sunday Stealing: Another Meme About ME



Welcome back to Sunday Stealing: originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser:

"Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!")


We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!"




Today we ripped this meme off a blogger named Calvin at the blog Calvin's Canadian Cave of Coolness. He states that he grabbed it Samurai Frog. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!



1. Are you currently in a serious relationship? Yes... I'll be married to the most wonderful man in the world for 13 years on March 15th.

2. What was your dream growing up? To be a doctor.

3. What talent do you wish you had? To be a professional photographer and travel all o
ver the world (on a yacht).

4. If I bought you a drink, what would it be? Grey Goose martini with 3 olives - but I really wouldn't let you buy me a drink because I don't let men talk to me, let alone buy me drinks. I don't even go out on my own.

5. What was the last book you read? Goldi by Kissa Starling (available on Amazon.com for Kindle)

6. What zodiac sign are you? Sagittarius

7. Any tattoos and/or piercings? Explain where. No tatts (yet), double pierced ears.

8. Worst habit? Biting my fingernails... I try to stop, but they grow to a certain length and they are so soft they start to peal, so I bite them. Drives me nuts!

9. What is your favorite sport? Football... NY Giants to be precise (insert joke here!)


10. Do you have a pessimistic or optimistic attitude? I TRY to be optimistic, but it's tough at times, a lot of crap has happened. I have some great friends who are there for me who keep me confident and reassured.

11. Worst thing to ever happen to you? I was assaulted by my former (intoxicated) employer... the terms of my lawsuit don't allow me to go into details, but let's just say that I didn't get enough money and HE didn't get enough jail time.

12. Tell me one weird fact about you. Just one??? I don't use shampoo on my hair (it just strips the natural oils)... I use baking soda, it makes my curls soft... then I use a deep conditioner.

13. Do you think clowns are cute or scary? Scary... and creepy. Don't like them one bit!!



14. If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be? My chin... it is not in proportion to my nose. I have never liked it, but I think it is because of my overbite.

15. Would you be my crime partner or my conscience? Conscience... I'm a "goody-two-shoes."

16. Ever been arrested? Nope... don't plan on it, either.

17. If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it? Take my husband on a really great vacation... he works so hard to take care of me, he needs someone to wait on him for a change. I really love that man!!


18. What's your favorite place to hang out at? Anywhere my hubby is... do I sound like a broken record or a sappy chick? Sorry, he is just such a sweetie-pie!

19. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes

20. Favorite thing to do in your spare time? Read or go on the computer... DUH!

21. Do you swear a lot? No... I will use euphemisms a lot, like "oh, poopie" or "fudge."

22. Biggest pet peeve? Bad drivers... we have some of the WORST here in our neighborhood. They think the STOP signs stand for "slow to observe for police." I am always yelling at them that it is NOT a suggestion. I also yell at drivers to slow down in our community. The speed limit is only 25-35 mph { Jen, you would not survive living here :-) } and people go flying down the streets going 50+mph. There are lots of kids and doggies { like my little Nano } around here - someone could get killed.

23. In one word, how would you describe yourself? Vulnerable

24. Do you believe/appreciate romance? Oh my, YES!! Romance makes love all the more special. Now back to my sweetie, Bill - just Friday he bought me flowers just because he loves me - for no other reason. I love that man (I know I said that already once today, sorry, can't help it).

25. Do you believe in God? Yes, but not in organized religion.

Sunday Stealing: The Disney Meme

Let's go!"

Today we are honored to have our very first guest host! Harriet, from the world famous Harriet and Friends blog picked today's victim. Harriet is also the host of Monday Mayhem a very clever meme. Harriet picked a meme from a blogger named Roger Owen Green from Ramblin' with Roger. He states he saw it at both SamuraiFrog and Jaquandor. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all of us thieves!


Sunday Stealing: Harriet's Choice: The Disney Meme





1. Which non-Disney Princess Disney Film is your favorite? Live Action: Definitely Pirates of the Caribbean (love me some Johnny Depp!!!); Animated: Wall-E, he is just so darned cute!!


2. Which Disney film makes you cry the most? Bambi, too much death and destruction.

3. Which Disney film makes you the happiest? Cinderella - it was my first.

4. Which Disney film has the best music? The Little Mermaid

5. Which Disney film has the best love story? Cinderella, again because it was my first one and every little girl wants her Prince Charming. [No hate mail, please, I know it is unrealistic and teaches all those horrible values to little girls about men coming to their rescue, yada, yada, yada. But it is still just SO sweet - a girl can dream!]

6. Who is your favorite Disney Princess? I'm beginning to sound like a broken record..... Cinderella, I SO wanted to be her.

7. Who is your favorite Disney Prince? Prince Charming... from Cinderella

8. Who is your favorite Disney animal sidekick? Again, from "Finderelli", Jacques and Gus... the adorable little mice.
9. Who is your favorite Disney main character animal? Nemo... just because he had a little fin, it didn't mean he couldn't do everything the other little fishies could do!!

10. Who is your favorite villain? Hades, from the movie Hercules. I LOVE James Woods and I think he does such a good job in this part. [I know it's the devil, no hate mail for this either please, what can I say, he's just so cool in this?]

11. What is your favorite Disney song? "Once Upon a Dream" from Sleeping Beauty. My youngest son, Alexander and I danced to this at my wedding to Bill. Alex picked the song, it was one of his favorite movies and we used to dance around the house during this song. I also have a lithograph of the scene framed and hanging in his bedroom. It brings back such memories.

12. What is your favorite Disney villain song? From The Little Mermaid, when Ursula sings "Poor Unfortunate Souls"... my favorite line is, "You'll have your looks! Your pretty face! And don't underestimate the importance of body language!" I can still picture her shaking her scary body... eewww!

13. What is your favorite Disney animal song? From the Little Mermaid also, when all the fishies in the ocean sing, "Under the Sea"... it is SO catchy! You do know it will be in my head ALL night, thank you very much.

14. What is your favorite Disney Princess song? Same answer as #11 - it is Aurora singing this song about Prince Phillip.


15. What is your favorite Disney Prince song? I really can't think of a song a Prince sings by himself... They don't sing much in these movies, at least not in the classics that I watch, do they?

16. What is your favorite Disney Prince/Princess duet song? I really like "A Whole New World" from Aladdin, so sweet and romantic.

17. What is your favorite Disney love song? Bill & I always tease that "our" song is "Beauty and the Beast". He says that it is because I am so pretty (his words) and he is just a beast of an old man and what am I doing with him. I LOVE that man and the lucky one of the two, and just like The Beast, he has a heart of gold and is the sweetest most wonderful man in the whole world.





That brings us to the close of another Sunday Stealing. And for any of you that know me... this was a PERFECT one for me!!! Now don't forget to visit the other participants of this meme, I'm sure there are lots of great answers... see you next week. Hope you had a great weekend.


Until next time..... Lorie


Update... Thanks to Hootin' Annie's for posting a quiz to discover which Disney Princess you are most like. [Head on over to take the quiz and find out.] Here are my results:


According to the answers you have just chosen you are most like the Disney Princess Cinderella. [I couldn't believe it, I really didn't try to make it come out this way, HONEST!!]

Although gentle and soft spoken, Cinderella has a keen intelligent sense of humor which she wisely keeps hidden from her cruel Stepmother and jealous stepsisters. Finding delight in her tiny animal friends, able to sing as she works, Cinderella has true dignity something her Stepsisters could learn a thing or two about. Despite moments of heartbreak and disappointment, Cinderella holds onto her hopes until goodness and beauty are rewarded and dreams that she has dreamed do come true.

44. What is your favorite kind of soup? Progresso... yummy

47. Do you like coffee? LOVE it, but I have to watch how much I drink... or I get a wicked migraine, but if I DON'T drink it in the morning, I get a migraine, too... It's a real balance - I'm a complicated woman!!

48. How many glasses of water, a day, do you drink on average? Probably six or 7, it's almost all I drink besides the OJ and coffee in the morning. [I've been having hot tea with honey lately because I'm sick, but still drinking lots of water.] Hubby hardly drinks any - he says the only way to drink water is if it has barley and hops in it!

49. What do you drink in the morning? OJ and coffee... I feel like I'm repeating myself... Am I boring anyone? Sorry!

50. What non-banking related card in your wallet is the most valuable to you? My health insurance card - such a pity!

51. Do you sleep on a certain side of the bed? Yes - MY side, Hubby sleeps on his side and Nano sleeps in the middle [if he is not sleeping on my head].


52. Do you know how to play poker? I know the rules... but I really don't "know" how to play.

53. Do you like to cuddle? Most definitely

54. Have you ever been to Canada? Yes, when I was a kid, it was in the summer and it was beautiful - we went to Niagara Falls and to a really pretty flower garden. I don't think I want to go there again, it's too cold for me now.

55. Do you have an addictive personality? Yes

56. Do you eat out or at home more often? We used to go out every weekend when we were both working, but now that we live on Social Security we eat at home almost all the time. We just don't have the money to go out like we would love to do. I like to cook, it is just difficult for me because of my disability. OH, well, life goes on, and I have THE MOST supportive hubby in the entire world!

57. What do you miss about high school, if anything? My figure!! I'll never see a size 4 again.

58. Do you know anyone with the same birthday as you? Larry Bird and Harry Chapin

59. Do you want kids? Been there, done that and they are wonderful!!

61. Have you ever gotten stitches? Oh yeah... and the scars to prove it.

62. Have you ever ridden in an ambulance? Yep... not as exciting as one might think. It's kind-of scary because you have NO control.
63. Do you prefer an ocean or a pool? I like both, but I don't like the beach. If you take me out to the ocean water on a boat I'm good, just don't like the sand in all those places it doesn't belong... you know what I mean?

64. Do you prefer a window seat or an aisle seat? On a plane: aisle - I don't like seeing down; In a car or bus: window, or I can get carsick; never been on a train but I'd love to ride on one.



65. Do you know how to drive stick? I know how, but I hardly drive anywhere anymore. I get chauffeured around anywhere I want to go... I am, after all a kept woman!

66. What is your favorite thing to spend money on? Clothes... for me or for Nano.






So, that brings us to the close of another Sunday Stealing. Now don't forget to visit the other participants of this meme, I'm sure there are lots of great answers... see you next week. Hope you had a great weekend.


Until next time..... Lorie

Well, apparently Judd screwed up last week... and missed some questions, plus
Going Like Sixty added questions of his own and invited us to use them this week, so Judd combined them all and made a part 2 to the Pretentious Blogging Meme. To see the questions and answers of part 1 head on over here and without further confusion, here is part 2.....


Sunday Stealing: The Pretentious Blogging Meme 2


12. How many drafts of potential blog posts do you have right now? In my head ~ about 6; In Blogger ~ none... I'm not as organized as that which really makes no sense because I have a slight case of OCD [or as I like to say CDO - it's like OCD but it's in alphabetical order..... as it SHOULD be!!].

13. In what medium do you draft your posts? In my mentally deranged, highly med
icated mind... then I just type away. Which is probably why I don't have that many followers or subscriber. Jeez, way to raise my self-esteem ~ bummer, dude!

14. How often do you completely scratch or delete drafts or blog post ideas? Um, I did mention the mentally deranged, highly medicated mind... so it's not so much that I scratch them, it's more like I just completely forget them. What were we talking about?

15. If you had to leave your blog in your will to another blogger, who would you choose? It's really hard to say because there are a couple that would really be sweet and write such great things
(Maria, Alexis & Tami), but they are SO busy that I would never do that to them. Then there are the ones that have such a great sense of humor that wouldn't take any crap from anybody (Annette & Sissy) but, again, I wouldn't want to burden them with having to deal with my whacked out family ~ but BOY would that be fun to watch from the beyond!! HaHa...

16. Are there other blogs that you feel are similar to yours in content, style, or voice? NOPE! I am the only me... I am unique and special, at least that is what my shrink tells me.



17. Has anything surprised you since you started blogging? Sure, lots of people... there are SO many sweet people out there that are willing to share their stories and words or encouragement with you - it really is wonderful!

18. What are your goals or plans for your blog going forward? I would like to do more reviews and giveaways, but I definitely want to keep learning about other people and their families and keep posting about my family. I never want to lose the personal touch that blogging has given me... that is my favorite part.




19. Do you make any money from your blog? (optional) about how much a month?
A very little bit ~ I don't even know how much.





20. What blogging system do you use? Blogger



21. How did you come up your blog name? Uh, it's really was kinda simple... we are the Shewbridges and we live in Celebration, Florida.



22. How many blogs do you have? What was your peak? Just the one ~ I'm in my 40s so I'm in my peak right now ~ there are young men everywhere who .... oh, that isn't what you meant, is it? Ooops, sorry!

23. Are you having as much fun as when you started? No... a lot more. :-)


24. Where do you find other bloggers like you? There is nobody like me, I've already told you that... be glad, I am a very strange person!

25. What’s your one wish when it comes to blogging
? To make more friends, get to know their families and meet them in real life some day.


So, that brings us to the close of another Sunday Stealing. Now don't forget to visit the other participants of this meme, I'm sure there are lots of great answers... see you next week. Hope you had a great weekend.


Until next time..... Lorie
