Monday Madness: The Nobody Loves You When You're Down & Out Questions:

1. When did you last feel down and out?
I feel blue sometimes. Papa was a Smurf.
(Please forgive the ultra silly. I soooo need silly right now.)

2. What do you do to feel sexy?
Since the virus began, I'm just struggling to wear matching socks in the house. We'll start there.

3. If you could be somewhere else, where would you be and why?
On the beach with Judd

4. What have you always wanted to do?

Match my socks...

5. What do you appreciate the most about your life at this time?

Everything. You can't go through a pandemic and not think about gratitude.

6. If you could be someone else, who would you be and why?

I wouldn't want to be anyone else. I have enough trouble keeping up with me.

7. Have you ever made a fool of yourself? If yes, spill.

Too many times to count. I have a penchant for falling into pencil skirt trouble. Have you read my blog???! I can't think of a time when I unexpectedly felt like a fool. But I've stepped into some foolery on purpose and in good faith from time to time. Have you read my blog???

8. What have you always wanted to do but haven't? Find my socks

9. What do you think about the talk about traveling to Mars? I would go to Mars, the Moon, the Sun, Jupiter, Transylvania, Pittsburgh, the North Pole...anywhere to get away from this evil floating virus.

10. If you could bring back someone who has passed, who would it be?

My grandfather. I have eons of delicate questions to ask him. He reads my blog!

He'd help straighten out my foolery.

Thanks for playing! We will see you next Monday.

Monday Mimisms ~ Meme Madness

Sometimes I like to step away from my serious side and kick up a little silliness. Let's start with a new meme in the blogosphere called Monday Madness. Aren't we all feeling just a tad bit insane these days? Click here to play along!

1. You are at a party in a very bad mood. There is an obnoxious guest with a camera snapping pictures of everyone in sight. Do you allow the photographs or ask them to stop?

I am the photographer. I've been thrown out of more than one store for doing just that.

I have learned my lesson. Read

the sad tale here.

2. You are on your way to a formal affair and running late. You are the guest speaker at this event and everyone is waiting for you. A police officer pulls you over for speeding. Do you make up a wild excuse or truthfully tell him where you are going and try to talk your way out of the citation? Tell us your tall tale! Wedding, Cufflinks, Black And White, Bow Tie, Tuxedo

**batting big brown eyes** "Officer, I beg your pardon. I'm on my way to speak at the International Society of Law Enforcement Bloggers convention. They told me to bring my camera and....."Oh, so YOU'RE the crazy bookstore lady with the camera. Go on your way. There's a room full of handcuffs waiting..."

The truth will not set you free.

3. When you drive down memory lane for the last two years of your life and look in the rear-view mirror, do you see a happy journey or a bumpy ride?

I see moments of happiness, but overall more stress than tranquility. This is not how life should be. This is NOT OK. I'm working on that. How? By not "working" at happiness. By learning to BE. By surrendering more often and being fully present in the moment. Just BE. Just BE! Just BE!! The only fully alive place is the here and now.

4. Who makes you laugh when no one else can?

I laugh and then I get mad because he made me laugh. I wanted to wallow. Damn him!

5. What are your superpowers? Twirling my hair

6. What is the last thing you memorized? A license plate number. Don't ask.

7. Tell us something you once took that you wish you could give back?

That bookstore picture
