Sisterhood of the World Bloggers Award

Hello dear friends.  This week has flown by.  I have spent most of my time at home playing general contractor.  Things are moving along and we have been blessed with beautiful weather.

We had one hiccup, though.  We had wires installed yesterday for some outside lighting.  Apparently, a certain someone who will remain nameless decided to dig up the wires.  He is in the dog house BIG time.  If you need to reach him, he will be on his LEASH at his Mama's side.  For the rest of his life.

My dear friend Mo from Mocadeaux tagged me with some blogging love.

These blogging “awards” are a fun way to get to know a bit more about each other and an opportunity to give a shout out to our friends in the blogging community.

I had a ball answering Mo's questions.

***

1.  Who would you cast to play you in a movie?

A movie about moi?  
I must say I may have thought about it once or twice.  

My first choice would be...

Charlize

But in reality it would probably be...

Rhea

2.  Do you have any quirky or unusual hobbies or collections?

No, I don't, but my Mister would differ.  He would say that my hobby would be inspecting every Homegoods within a 100 mile radius.  

And my collections would be all the "junk" that I buy there, according to the Mister.


3.  What has been your proudest moment blogging?

My proudest moments in blogging occur when I hear from a reader who tells me that they enjoy my blog.



4.  What is the weirdest thing you have ever eaten?

When we were newlyweds, the Mister and I had Sista and my BIL over for dinner.  The Mister, our chef, decided to include blood sausage on the menu.  For those people who don't know what blood sausage is and think that they are actually missing something, this is definition that I found on Wikepedia.

Blood sausage is a generic name for a type of sausage made by cooking blood or dried blood with a filler until it is thick enough to congeal when cooled.

YUM!!
Bet you wish you were a guest at that dinner party, huh?

Every time Sista turned her head, I quickly placed my blood sausage on her plate.  Unfortunately, she caught on and would to the same to me.  Pretty soon, we were having blood sausage giggle fits.   The Mister failed to see the humor.



5.  What item that you don't already own would you like to have (money is no object)?

I would like a second home in a WARM climate.  
I'll take this one in Malibu.

I hear it's for sale.


6.  In homage to Coach Daddy's monthly feature, describe yourself in six words.

Sexy, voluptuous, statuesque, regal, humble and hot. 




7.  What is your favorite holiday of the year?

Any holiday that both my girls are home.




8.  What is the most unusual job you ever had?

When I was in high school my father got me a job in a packaging plant that packed Bic Bananas.  That was my father's way of showing me the value of a good education.

I still have nightmares.  
I wake up screaming "red, yellow, blue, orange...."

I also worked with my buddy, Dude, for the Judge of Probate's Office.  We worked in a vault 6 feet under filing wills.  Thousands of them.  Eight hours a day.

It's lucky they had me to keep Dude in line.

Yup, I knew you would be jealous.



9.  You wouldn't you be caught dead, where?

Back in Istanbul.

Note:  I promise to go a whole week without mentioning Istanbul again.



10.  What is the best piece of blogging advice that you have ever received?

Write in your own voice. 

Thanks, Mo, for nominating me and your great questions.
