Sunday Stealing ~ The Devil In Duke Chapel

This is Mimi. Shooting straight. Don't worry....I haven't taken any pain meds in at least four hours and I won't be talking about Viagra or elephants. Maybe. Scratch that. This is Mimi.
Shooting straight.
I'd duck if I were you.

Sunday Stealing: The Ginormous Meme

1. Are you single?
Let me look at my watch.
As of 1:00 am, yes, I am still single.
And sleepy.

2. Are your parents still married?
52 years and still going insane strong.

3. Are you in love?
With life. With peace globes. With buttercups. With Baby Boy. And in my mind - with the man who will join me in the buttercup peace globe journey. Where he is, is anybody's guess. (Baby Boy will be jealous but he'll have to get over it.)

4. Do you believe in love at first sight?
No. I believe in pheromones at first sight.
I believe in charm at first bite.
After that, it gets a bit more complicated.

5. Who ended your last relationship?
He did. He's a bit complicated.
Just ask him.

6. Have you ever been hurt by a break up?
Yes.

7. Have you ever broken someone’s heart?
Men rarely admit to broken hearts but I'm afraid I have.
I didn't want to though.

8. Have you ever had a secret admirer?
I believe so. But I prefer directness. Secrets not so much. 9. Prefer love or lust?

I prefer lust in the midst of love.

You can have one without the other of course - many people do - but it is not the ultimate mind-blowing relationship. Toe-curling desire and attraction can go hand-in-hand with sweet affection and caring. Who wouldn't want THAT?
I want trustworthy intimacy, rock solid friendship, and a mature love that I can count on from ONE man.
Oh. And hot sex.
(I told you to duck.)

10. Prefer a few best friends or many regular friends?
Both

11. Wild night out or romantic night in?

See #9

12. Back in the day: Been caught sneaking out?
Are you kidding? I can't get by with anything. I wouldn't have taken one step out the door without alarm bells going off. You're talking to a woman who had to be home at 9 pm on Sunday nights and 11:00 pm on Fri/Sat nights when she was a teenager, had to wear a dress on Sundays "just because it's Sunday", is always the designated driver and was afraid to take the tags off the mattress for fear of being arrested.
I think not.

13. Ever wanted something/someone so badly it hurt?
Now that's alarming. Wouldn't that border on obsession? If it "hurts" you shouldn't want it. RED FLAG APPROACHING YOUR PSYCHE. See the nearest therapist.14. Who are/is your best friend(s)?
Female: Barbara (see this post) who is, at this moment, fighting for her life. Please say a prayer. Susie aka Jane (no she doesn't have a multiple personality)
Male: Prince Budwick of Rakistan and Mark of the Millennium. 

15. Ever wanted to disappear?
Only a million times a day. Lately, I've been wary of crowds -a little jumpy since I was injured a few weeks ago. Perhaps I should learn to levitate.

16. First attraction: Smile or eyes
Smile. Eyes. Smile. Eyes.


I can't decide. 

17. Prefer intelligence or attraction?
I prefer attractive intelligence. Brains are a huge huge huge turn on. So are tight jeans, a well-dressed man and sweaty workout clothes - not necessarily in that order - and a sense of humor.
Am I being too picky?
 
18. Last phone call you received?
 
True story: My sister calling to see if my mother had called me yet to tell me about my uncle who passed away three weeks ago. The answer is still 'no.' I kid you not.
Of course, they're not going to do the funeral over just for me. I can't imagine why.
 

19. Last thing you drank?
Green tea

20. Before your current one, when was your last relationship?
Ummmm......Why am I thinking purple peeps at Easter? I don't have a current one but the last relationship had more births, deaths and resurrections than Jesus. I'll pass.


21. Do you and your family get along?
Usually at funerals. But I missed the last one.
So, that's a no.

22.Would you say you have a "screwed up life"?

Not unless you count falling down a lot.

23. Have you ever gotten kicked out somewhere? If yes, do tell.

I was politely asked to leave Duke Chapel once during a concert but it wasn't my fault, I swear!. My friend caused a scene (her husband was onstage singing "Messiah" for Heaven's sakes but I don't think Handel was smiling at this..) and there was a "problem" with a seating arrangement. We were in the second row. I happened to be wearing a flaming red dress - that fit me perfectly I might add - down front for God and everybody to see and hear this ridiculous conversation which I had no part of. I just happened to be sitting with Patti Picky aka The Diva. Had she not been driving and we hadn't been so far from home, I would have ditched her royal rudeness and rode home with a baritone in the choir. Had I thought of that then, the answer to number #1 of this meme might be different.

And to think I wasted a perfectly good red dress. Oh the glamour. Oh the shame.

24. Do you trust all your friends?
Not with my seat or my boyfriends.

25. Who knows the most about you?
My best friend Barbie of nearly 30 years. She knows the dirt. Oh yeah.
But I know hers too. We just sweep and move on.
Somebody pass the broom.

My uncle had a great sense of humor.
I hope he's laughing at this meme.
Goodnite Uncle Frank.

P.S. I cross my fingers heart that I wouldn't have worn that dress
to your funeral.
Mmmmmaybe.
