Sit Right Down And Write Myself A Letter Meme

When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper?

It's been a very long time. I (hand)write notes to Beast fairly often, but I can't tell you the last time I sent a letter--not a store-bought card with my signature--in the mail.

Can you change the oil on a car?

I could if I wanted to, but I'd really rather just pay someone to do it if/when Beast stops taking care of it.

Ever gotten a speeding ticket?

Yup. No clue if I was actually speeding, but since then I am careful to set my cruise control for the exact speed limit on that road.

Run out of gas?

Nope. Not quite, though I've been within a few miles of it more than once.

Favorite kind of sandwich?

Roast beef with horseradish and swiss on wheat bread. Or flat cheese and potato chip on white bread with butter.

Best thing to eat for breakfast?

Donuts.

What is your usual bedtime?

It hovers around 9, but I almost always read or do puzzles for awhile before I sleep.

Are you lazy?

For sure. I'm the queen of this!

When you were a kid, what did you dress up as for Halloween?

I remember a clown costume and a rabbit costume vividly and absolutely nothing else. I know I was costumed every year though.

Do you have any magazine subscriptions?

I do. I still get Ms., Entertainment Weekly, and a Presbyterian Church publication.

Which are better, Legos or Lincoln Logs?

Lincoln Logs, but only if they're wooden!

Are you stubborn?

Oh my God, yes!

Who is better…Leno or Letterman?

Uhm. Aren't they both gone now? I didn't really care for either of their shows.

Ever watch soap operas?

Not for 25 years.

Afraid of heights?

Nope.

Sing in the car?

All the time.

Dance in the shower?

This seems very dangerous. No.

Dance in the car?

Yes. Also dangerous, but I'm careful.

Ever used a gun?

Not a real one.

Do you think musicals are cheesy?

I LOVE musicals!! The cheesier the better.

Is Christmas stressful?

Yes!!

Ever eat a pierogi?

Uh, yeah. I've been to Milwaukee and other places where lots of Polish people settled back in the day.

Major annoyance right now?

Beast's health tops everything. It's like a freaking brush fire: neck fixed, shoulder flares and subsides, week-long flu bug, self-pity, numb fingers, post-nasal drip that never ends, alcohol more or less off the table (he says), depression, soreness from PT or therapeutic massage, achy joints from weather weirdness, sinus problems develop into an endless cough, complete lack of stamina, minor Lyme disease, and now we've spotted another bulging disc in this thoracic region! That doesn't even get into the glucose and blood-sugar issues. So basically, I'm married to an 80-year-old.

Occupations you wanted to be when you were a kid?

Grocery checker, teacher, the usual girl stuff, and writer of course.

Do you believe in ghosts?

I believe in something like ghosts.
