Monday Mimisms with Mimi Queen of Memes ~ Paddles, Pillows, and Latin Magic

There really is no reason you should want this useless information. I found a short and pointless meme called The Past, Present and Future Meme via Sweet Memes on a friend's recommendation which led me to Sir Veye's Journal. It was quick and almost painless - until I remembered the paddling of the Queen.

Oh the scandal. Read it and weep.

I know I did.

PAST
First grade teacher's name: Mrs. Denny

Tidbit from the Queen's secret journal: Mrs. Denny was the first to give me a paddling. And not the last. Back in the day it was the thing to do. I remember every embarrassing detail. In the corner. She lifted my black and red checked dresstail up and whack! O.U.C.H. The first time was for singing at naptime. The second time because I wanted the RED pillow and not the blue one.
Naptime got me in a lot of trouble.

Last word you said: saidLast song you sang: "Dona Nobis Pacem" (Grant Us Peace) with the Rutgers University Glee Club . It brought me some much needed peace and quiet today.

I think I need to listen again.......See bottom of this post for the video. Aahh....that's better. If you're going to listen you must do it properly: NO distractions. NO phone. NO computer. Quiet place. Sit cross-legged in a corner with your eyes closed. Hug a pillow. Let the music wash over you. Let the modulations surprise you. They rise. They fall. Forget everything else. Do NOT open your eyes. Turn it up loud. Turn it up very loud. Vibrations. Latin magic of peace will heal whatever hurts. Listen again. (Spoiler: The best part is the silence echo in the middle) Stunning. I can never listen to this piece just once.


Last song stuck in your head: "With You" by Chris Brown, believe it or not. Long story. But it has something to do with Valentine's Day and a bunch of screaming teenagers. Don't ask.

PRESENT

What's in your CD player: Josh Groban "Awake" - I'm hoping Dona Nobis will put him to sleep. I adore his voice but this album lacks his usual brilliance.

What color socks are you wearing: Pink

What's under your bed: a broken slat. It was my grandmother's bed. I'm very glad she doesn't know about the broken slat. She would not be amused.

What's the weather like: Inside warm, toasty and noisy. Outside clear, cloudy and very dark.

What time did you wake up today: 7:23 am (yikes!)

I remember looking down at my feet on the way to the car hoping my shoes matched.

FUTURE
Who do you want to marry: The Queen needs a Prince. Marry? Let's see if he can cook first.

Are you going to college: Not if I can help it

Where do you want to go: To bed without breaking another slat

What is your career going to be: I'm a pencil skirt. What could be better than that?

Where are you going to live: Somewhere with the Prince and/or the entire Rutgers Men's Glee Club - whichever comes first
How many kids do you want: Zilch. Zero. Notta. Nope. Uh huh.Kids' names: Zilch. Zero. Notta. Nope. Uh huh.

Where do you want your honeymoon: Somewhere I can wear an itsy bitsy queenie bikini (Are you eyes still closed?)

What kind of car will you have: I want a golf cart to drive on the bikini beach.

Mimi! Watch out for that coconut tree. Darn. I forgot to open my eyes.......
