Okay, since last week’s Friday Fun was — well, FUN, actually! — and since I LOVE the idea of being entertained… Here’s another Friday Fun. And what better way to spend a Friday the 13th than doing something fun?
(Can I SAY “fun” any more times in one post? I may have set some kind of record here.)
- What is the most recent book you’ve read?
- Right now, are you wearing shoes, socks or going barefoot?
- What day of the week were you born?
- What is one thing you are afraid of that you’re kind of embarrassed about?
- Mashed potatoes: good or evil?
- Are you having a good hair day?
- If money were no object, what is one place in the world you’d love to visit?
- Do you cry at movies?
- What kind of pie would you like RIGHT NOW?
- Do these pants make me look fat?
You guys were so GOOD last week! I’ll jump in and post mine later, maybe after I get some more cleaning done. And maybe we’ll get more lurkers to come out of lurkdom!

[...] Well as diverting as the Friday Fun is this week, there is work to be done this weekend! Le sigh. Although I WILL be going back to our Friday Fun post, because it never fails to make me laugh. So keep your comments coming! We have some things to tackle before the home study people come visiting later this week. There’s lots of cleaning to do, although it’s not the BIG BABYPROOFING appointment, so basically we just have to make the place clean and neat for visitors. [...]
Here goes, now that I have my computer fixed and am not so stressed (we love THE Jeppy! Big hug!)
1. The last one I can actually remember finishing was DaVinchi Code.
2. One foot barefoot (for my transcription footpedal) and the other in a croc knock off.
3. Tuesday.
4. Afraid I am going to lose all this weight when off the steroids and look like a Shar Pei (oy-vey the image is stuck in my mind).
5. Mashed potatoes – Crohn’s sufferer’s heaven. Soft and mushy and won’t hurt when you eat them, adding garlic or onion for flavor is nice for a variety.
6. Snort!!! Not.
7. Europe – all of it.
8. Not as much as hubby does.
9. Cocoanut cream…mmmm. Isn’t that a breakfast food?
10. No my dear, you could never look fat. They hug your curves in all the right places. You look like a million bucks!
1. Let’s see. I finished the new Stephanie Plum novel – called Plum Loving – I think. I’m nearly finished with a novel about a bank called The MoneyChangers.
2. Barefoot. Look AWAY from the ugly feet!
3. I was born on a Sunday.
4. Oy. I fear dying from some quirky weird thing like an ASS infection.
5. Eh, I can take ‘em or leave ‘em. If someone else serves them I’ll eat them, but I never make them. I’m pretty indifferent about them.
6. I think it’ll get better because I got that stuff to put in it that we talked about!
7. Guelph.
8. Yes. And some television episodes.
9. None. Last time someone had pie I got in trouble. And I didn’t even EAT ANY. But NOW? I am a PIE STEALING BASTARD.
10. No. And they don’t make you look like a man either.
It’s going to be like this AGAIN? I’m begging for amusement AGAIN? God I am SUCH a loser.
Maybe the weekend will bring people out of Lurkville.
Okay, my turn.
1. I finished a biography of Marie Antoinette by Antonia Fraser a few nights ago. And I’ve since moved on to a biography of Morrissey of The Smiths.
2. Barefoot. I’m always barefoot these days, since I took up yoga.
3. I am Thursday’s Child. (Also, I love that song by David Bowie.)
4. I am afraid of fish. Yes. Fish. Not on a plate or in an aquarium, mind. Those ones are cute. Just when they’re in a lake or ocean and I might encounter them. Those ones are sinister and up to no good.
5. I love mashed potatoes. One of my comfort foods.
6. Dude. I wear a ponytail all the damn time. My life is a bad hair day.
7. I’d do a long, long vacation in Ireland and Wales and England. And maybe even Scotland. And then I’d go to Barbados for a month. And Turks and Caicos.
8. Yep. All the damn time.
9. I’d give my left maple nut for a big hunk of coconut cream pie right now.
10. You’re damn right they don’t! Because I’ve lost over 15 pounds since stopping the infertility drugs!
1. The last book I finished? Good question. I think it might have been “To Sail Beyond the Sunset” by Heinlein, or possibly one of James Herriot’s books. I know I just finished a short story called “The Hundred Light-Year Diary”. I read too much to keep it all straight.
2. I’m wearing slippers.
3. I’m also a Thursday’s Child. Off to listen to Bowie…
4. I’d say ventriloquist dummies, but all right-thinking people should be afraid of them. They are CREEPY.
5. The goodest of goods, especially with garlic and far too much butter.
6. Oh, hells no. Not even close.
7. Does it have to be on this world? I’d rather pretend that lunar vacations or trips to exotic Alpha Proxima were an option.
8. Dude, I cry at COMMERCIALS.
9. A Mississippi Mud pie would not go amiss right now.
10. To quote Things My Girlfriend And I Have Argued About “‘…You’re a repellently obese old hag upon whom I am compelled to heap insults and derision – depressingly far removed from the, ‘stupid, squeaky, pocket-sized English women,’ who make up my vast catalogue of former lovers and to whom I might as well return right now as I hate everything about you.”
Maybe the acoustics were really bad in the dining room, or something.”
I forgot to mention the short story was by Greg Egan.
Another thing I forgot, on account of having Teh Stoopid — Cinn’s a Hotty McHotpants. I just like TMGAIHAA.
1. The Cat who went Bananas
2. Slippers
3. Friday
4. Swimming in a lake and having a fish bite off my toes
5. Good!
6. Always!
7. Everywhere – but right now we have our sights on Italy
8. Yes – especially if they involve animals
9. My mom’s blueberry pie is the best!
10. You look marvelous!
SEE? It’s not just ME! Caroline knows about the evils of FISH!
I’m missing all the fun. Wait until May.
