It might already be closed but I'm now feeling better( finally) and I decided to do the TMI blog fest which has turned 5! You can find this over at Debbie The Dog Ladys Den blog. The questions follow the letters of the alphabet...yup, just like the A to Z challenge. So without further adieu, here we go( please say this like Jackie Gleason).
1. AGE- 52(1964) or as I like to say, the new 25
2. BIGGEST FEAR- that I'll kick the bucket when I'm 66. Why that number?? I'll let you guess but no one close to me died at that age...it's actually quite stupid that's why this fear is irrational and downright silly.
3. CURRENT TIME- 7:43am but I'll be writing this throughout the day. Isn't this a thrilling read?
4. DRINK YOU LAST HAD- Long Island Iced Tea...A good way to start the morning(hiccup).
5. EVERY DAY STARTS WITH- a cat on my chest. I wish it was my hubby
6. FAVOURITE SONG-really? Just one?? Ok, it's Umbrella by Rihanna, that annoying song that...oh wait, favourite song....I love The Third Man Theme, To Dream The Impossible Dream, Nights in White Satin...Just say anything by the Moody Blues and anything ABBA
7. GHOSTS-ARE THEY REAL? I am leaning towards ...yes just because of things I have heard and felt. I was very sad that my dad wasn't with us one Christmas and suddenly I felt his hand patting me on my shoulder like he always did when I was down. No I did not have any tequila shots. Those shows about real ghost hunters are beyond stupid though
8. HOMETOWN-I was born in the majestic (HA!) town of Welland, Ont. and grew up in the country near the metropolis called Wainfleet (4 churches and a dry town until the last 15 years or so)
9. IN LOVE WITH- Hugh Jackman. Oh you mean seriously?....Hugh Jackman
10. JEALOUS OF- I'm not a jealous sort but I do want to bitch slap people who say they can eat chocolate and whipped cream and still can't gain any weight. Also women who say they never had any issues with PMS or menopause. I really do want to bitch slap them:)
11. KILLED SOMEONE? - You mean, on purpose? No No I'm just kidding. I have never killed anyone...just in my thoughts. I am now laughing like some banshee
12. LAST TIME YOU CRIED- Yesterday....
13. MIDDLE NAME- Maria. Now all of you must sing that song from West Side Story
14. NUMBER OF SIBLINGS- 2-Full brother (I believe he is full unless he hasn't had lunch yet) and my wonderful half-sister (my dad had an oopsy back in 1947 way before he met my mom)
15. ONE WISH- To not feel constant, tiring pain 24/7...and to have Trump's hair fall off while on TV
16. PERSON YOU LAST CALLED- My Brother who is soon to be in the Freedom 55 club:)
17. QUESTION YOU'RE ALWAYS ASKED- "What nationality are you?" It's my name..I was born and raised, proudly, Canadian but this comes up daily. One day I will say Swahili which will really make their head spin.
18. REASON TO SMILE- My fur babies, My hubby, a funny movie, a funny video, time with loved ones, beautiful flowers, animals, nature, seeing a young man's pants fall down
19. SOUNDS THAT ANNOY YOU- young women who always talk through their nose and stretch a certain vowel. BITCH SLAP! Crying, tantrum brats, not the babies who are hungry or are hurt, but brats who are brats and the parents who either say or do nothing but do not follow through on their threat....BITCH SLAP! Also, nails on a chalkboard
20. TIME YOU WOKE UP-Physically-6:00am Mentally, 10am:)
21. UNDERWEAR COLOUR-Plaid
22. VACATION DESTINATION-Europe...anywhere...oh you mean for real? Travelling near Montreal next week:)
23. WORST HABIT- My hubby could rhyme off a dozen but I will say I worry too much. I try to work on this but it's part of my make-up. I say "No" a lot plus I hog the remote
24. X-RAYS YOU'VE HAD-Neck, shoulders, hands, hips, knees, feet, chest. Due to my Ehlers-Danlos, I have had a number of joint dislocations and whiplash. Geez...I should just say my whole body:)
25. YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD-chocolate, nice German Torte, Rouladen with spaetzle and red cabbage-yum, yum. Did I mention chocolate?
26. ZODIAC SIGN-The best sign...Gemini! My hubby is one as well so we not only drive each other nuts but our friends as well.
Oh this was fun. I enjoyed learning more about you.
ReplyDeleteGlad you did
DeleteEVERYDAY STARTS WITH...being alive.
ReplyDeleteAnd, for that, I'm grateful.
You are so right.
DeleteEVERYDAY STARTS WITH...being alive.
ReplyDeleteAnd, for that, I'm grateful.
Ha ha, you are an A to Z glutton for punishment!
ReplyDeleteI think I am:)
DeleteHi, Birgit!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better and better, dear friend. I'm happy to see that you decided to give the TMI a try.
I'm 66. Hope I'm not on your kick the bucket list.
(See what I did there? :)
You and I have the following in common: Moody Blues, ABBA, leaning toward "yes" on ghosts, middle name "Maria" (just kidding), annoyed by the sound of crying and whining brats. Have you watched the U.S. or the Australian version of the TV series The Slap? I highly recommend both!
This was fun. It's nice...(I feel a song coming on)...
Gettin' to know you,
Gettin' to know all about you.
Gettin' to like you,
Gettin' to hope you like me.
Gettin' to know you,
Gettin' to feel free and easy...
I am hoping 66 is just another year. So your middle name is Maria...hahahaaa. I love that tune but every time I see dogs sniffing each other, that tune comes into my head
Deletelol your hand may need an x-ray is you start going around bitch slapping so many people. Be rather tiring too. Ugg to the pain though, be nice if that crap would go away for everyone.
ReplyDeleteYou're right, my hand would be sore but I would have a smile on my face
DeleteI feel like I know you better, even though I wouldn't have thought you might have killed someone.
ReplyDeleteThanks and no...I could never kill someone...unless they tried to kill me then all bets are off:)
DeleteHmm. Because it's the first two digits of 666?
ReplyDeleteNope not turning Linda Blair at my lair
DeleteGemini? So, you're particular about how you like things? (People always say something different about Geminis, but this is the one thing I've observed from all the Geminis I've ever known. And I've known a few.)
ReplyDeleteYup...I do like things a certain way but my hubby is even worse
DeleteYou are so funny with your answers :) I loved your answer to #10, I couldn't agree more myself! Always fun to learn new things about fellow bloggers :)
ReplyDeletebetty
Thank you:) I think humour is always a good way to go. My one friend told me she was upset because she gained 3lbs...she was 126 instead of 123...I told her to shut up:)
DeleteWould you please allow me to be your assistant when you (we) deliver some forceful bitch slaps? It would feel so good. I have to avoid all my favorites because I gain pounds by nibbling at them. Hell, I don't nibble. I ravage non-stop and my tummy (and other body parts) prove it. Smiles.
ReplyDeletePS I didn't know you live in constant pain. I'm so sorry. That sounds utterly miserable. Sending healing and happy thoughts.
The constant pain sucks but chocolate always makes me feel good even if it goes to my hips. Yes you can be my assistant.
DeleteI love this! It shows so much of your personality. Geminis rock!
ReplyDeleteI too am sorry about your pain. You really don't show it. I think of you as an unfailingly cheery, funny person.
*hugs* Thanks for this glimpse into your life.
Thank you with such a beautiful compliment. I can have my ornery moments and have had the feeling sorry for myself but I'm glad that it passes and I always try to inject some fun because life needs to be that even when we are going through some sucky times
DeleteI agree, Birgit. You do a great job. Your posts always make me smile.
DeleteWow! It was nice to see the questions as the sequence of alphabets. Prayers for you to get well soon from the pain.
ReplyDeleteThe paints here to stay but I hope it doesn't get worse. Glad you enjoyed my answers
DeleteThis is cool. Nice to know all these things about you. Perhaps I will sit down and answer the questions myself.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you took part and glad you enjoyed my answers
DeleteExcellent answers. I've never been to this blog before and am glad to read this. You've given some good, clever, answers. I have to check on Debbie's answers.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you enjoyed reading my blog. I aim to please
DeleteThis was fun, and this hop is new to me. It was nice to read your answers and get to know you even more. :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed what I wrote
DeleteWasn't he the cop who acted the real toughguy but had a dumb son in Smokey and the Bandit? It cracks me up watching Jackie Gleason because in nearly every case instead of being a wiseguy, he does a class act of doing the exact opposite and blaming his inadequacies on his poor dumb dumb son....
ReplyDeleteYup...he's that cop and he was great in the Honeymooners
DeleteLoved this! You're a hoot, Birgit! Miss our regular exchanges.
ReplyDeleteGlad I put. Smile on your face. I miss our exchanges too.
DeleteThis hop really brought out the Moody Blues fans :)
ReplyDeleteOoh so glad to hear there are more Moody Blues fans out there
Delete52....You're still a baby:)
ReplyDeleteWell, thank you:)🐈
DeleteOk, so before I say anything else...um what is that a picture of on the bottom? It's kind of creeping me out....
ReplyDeleteGreat read! I think i'll join the challenge sometime as well.
: )
That is rouladen with spätzle and red cabbage...it's really delicious. You have thin pieces of beef, place salt, pepper, and mustard on it. Cut up onion, bacon and cut pickle and roll it like a cabbage roll and cook it like a roast. It's so delicious. Spätzle is a noodle that one makes and I find it lighter than regular pasta. Yum yum
DeleteIt is the new 25! I love the reasons for Bitch Slapping! LOL Thanks so much for participating, it's such fun to learn a little more!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed my answers. Bitch slapping is fun
DeleteBIRGIT ~
ReplyDeleteI'm a wee bit o' late, but I'm... FASHIONABLE!
I liked your answers. You obviously had fun with this little thing.
>>... 52(1964) or as I like to say, the new 25
Great! That makes me only 29! ...again.
>>... BIGGEST FEAR- that I'll kick the bucket when I'm 66.
That's how old my Pa was when he kicked the bucket. Not that this should worry YOU any.
>>... DRINK YOU LAST HAD- Long Island Iced Tea...A good way to start the morning(hiccup).
You sound like me. Only I prefer to start the morning with beer. You know, cereals, grains, that sort o' thing.
>>... IN LOVE WITH- Hugh Jackman. Oh you mean seriously?....Hugh Jackman
I told you that I worked in Hollywood for about 8 years, right? Bad News: Hugh is gay. ...But you're already married, so that shouldn't bother you any.
>>... MIDDLE NAME- Maria. Now all of you must sing that song from West Side Story
NO WAY! I hate everything about that gay play/movie. (But I'll bet Hugh Jackman knows every song by heart!)
>>... NUMBER OF SIBLINGS- 2-Full brother (I believe he is full unless he hasn't had lunch yet) and my wonderful half-sister (my dad had an oopsy back in 1947 way before he met my mom)
So, I take it that your half-sister is named Oopsy?
>>... PERSON YOU LAST CALLED- My Brother who is soon to be in the Freedom 55 club:)
Cool! I'm in the 'Bondage 69 Club'.
OK, OK, that's enough, right?
BTW, rest easy, because I never really met Hugh Jackman and I don't know a ting about 'im. He looks gay to me but... don't judge by the cover, right?

Bondage 69 eh? Sounds like a good plan to stay young:) I thought I was the only one who thought West Side Story was a bit much. I always laugh at the beginning because it just confirmed to me that gang members dance like that down the street before they spray paint a house, sell drugs and kill someone. I don't care if Hugh is gay....he can still be my lover in my dreams
DeleteI've never done one of those challenges. People would probably say, "I wish you hadn't told me that." :)
ReplyDeleteOh come on, I bet everyone wants to know the colour of your underwear
DeleteI keep seeing this A-Z about me! Just have not had time to work one out. Was there a specific day you had to do it on? Nice answers. :)
ReplyDeleteMy worst habit is I'm too over-protective and worry too much. I'm always thinking I've offended someone.
Well, that's probably the most interesting thing I could have answered. Sorry I didn't answer them all. I hope I didn't offend you. ;)
You could never offend me...unless you tell me the colour of your underwear is brown...😊 I think there may be 6 days left. I worry as well but not about offending someone....that ship has sailed long ago...hahahaaa
DeleteYou're going to turn those 66s upside down:)
ReplyDeleteGlad you're feeling better.
That's a great way to look at it:)
DeleteSuch a fun hop! You really have a cat on your chest every morning? Feel the love, eh?
ReplyDeleteOften, I do or they are at my feet or near my head
DeleteHi... remember me? Yes I am still alive. I have been a round like for a-g-e-s. My bad. I could come up with a gazillion reasons and excuses... but we'll skip that and I'll just slap my wrist on your behalf. And yes... #10 brings out the worse in me. I'm going to take a peek at the rest of your goings-on. If you see someone lurking ... that me. It's what I do... I lurk! :) Oh and I just want to say yhank you so much for playing along in my Blog Hop. And I really am grateful for your friendship, support and comments.
ReplyDeletehugs, Asha
Hello Dear Asha! It's so nice to see you here and glad you came by to visit. I had fun with the bloghop
DeleteLots of personal stuff. Some I definitely wouldn't answer. Good work.
ReplyDeleteYes, there is some personal stuff and so I had fun with it
DeleteThis was fun to read. And I am now singing the West Side Story song! Not a bad thing because I love that song.
ReplyDeleteThe kitty on your chest made me chuckle. Aww.
I just met a girl named Maria:) pussy cats purring is a sweet song in itself
DeleteThis was quite fun. I think we share some similarities! Love that bitch slap thing....sometimes you just wanna do it! Agree with the brats..love well behaved kids and some do exist. TFS & giving me a chuckle tonight. Hugs
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a chuckle and enjoyed reading this.
DeleteLoved reading this, Birgit! I can't believe your answer for A. I do believe the 25, though! Welland eh? As in near Welland canal? We had a glorious time watching the ship go in and out. I love ABBA too, and know the lyrics of all their songs. All your answers are fun! Those annoying things - right on! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYup...the Welland canal! My dad's car knocked out on the bridge in the 1950's and he went up with the bridge!
DeletePlaid underwear, very cool, Birgit. I was thinking the other day that I would like to skip the 66th birthday for the same reason. "Ma-ri-ahhh, I just met a girl named Mariaaaah. . ." It was on TV the other night, by the way. I've never been a Romeo & Juliette fan. I do like the dancing though.
ReplyDeleteI actually have nothing plaid but I just think it's funny when one mentions favourite colour and someone says. Plaid:) The beginning of that film always makes me laugh because they are such rough and tough kids who know how to point their toes and dance...hahahaaa
DeleteSorry I missed this, Birgit. I've been bogged down by website issues and then we went away for the weekend. Long Island Iced Tea is one of my favourite summer drinks. Never had it in the morning, though. ☺ Your answers were so entertaining! Plaid underwear; are you part-Scottish? ;) Have a wonderful time in Quebec.
ReplyDeletei totally lurrrvvv your replies.
ReplyDelete& Long Island Iced Tea in the morning..wow not that's something :)
