WWTK- Numero tres

Last week was another successful We Want To Know Wednesday. We had FORTY-SEVEN people link up to the party! I know Impulsive Addict, Janette, Mamarazzi and I did our very best to visit each one of you to show our appreciation. I hope that as we continue with this meme more and more people will link up and find new friendships along the way, I know I already have!


This week IA is asking the questions and wants to know...


1.} If money didn't matter, where would your perfect vacation take place? Briefly describe. I have wanted to visit Australia since I was a teen. I will make it there one day, it may be without my girls and I may have grey hair and an AARP membership card but I will go! It's on my "bucket list".


2.} What's a bad habit that you have {or had} that is/was hard to break? I pick my nose at stop lights, roll it between my fingers and flick it out the car window. Are you still reading? I was just wondering if you're actually reading my answers. You know I'm teasing right? But seriously, why do people do that?  Ewww. I used to crack my knuckles then I heard it would cause arthritis and swelling of the joints so I stopped almost stopped, my hands are ugly enough without any help.


3.} If you weren't on a diet or counting calories, what would you like to have for dinner tonight? Pizza, hot pepperoni and tomato pizza with all of the ice cold, foamy root beer I could drink! Or at least more of the delicious homemade chicken pot pie I made tonight, I hate not feeling full and not having the luxury of eating whatever I want whenever I want it really bites!


4.} If you had the chance to interview anyone in the world, dead or alive, who would it be and what's one question that you would ask? As horrible as it sounds I think I would like to talk any serial killer or someone who killed in volume. If I had to choose just one I would have to say Hitler. I would ask him if he was sorry for what he did and if he had it to do all over again would he spare the lives of all of those innocent people. Is that morbid? Ok well then maybe I'd ask Michael Jackson what really happened to his skin and if he remembers where he lost his nose. 


5.} Describe yourself in 6 words. Wife. Mother. Christian. Funny. Loyal. Entertaining {I hope}. To add a twist to this I thought it would be interesting to see what other people, people who don't know me IRL thought. So I asked Impulsive Addict, Vivienne from the V-Spot and Myya from Myya Says for one word they felt best described me. This is what they had to say.


IA- Sassy, yep I'll take that, I love that we banter back and forth. Every conversation we have whether via email, text, Hey Tell or phone is full of sarcasm and smack talk! I would use the word Spunky to define her.
Vivienne- Effervescent. Well after I Googled it and saw that she wasn't comparing me to the bubbles from my Diet Dr. Pepper I liked it. Thanks Viv I cannot wait to mark you off my bloggy friend list and add you to my list of IRL friends!
Myya- Well little miss Chatty Cathy couldn't just give me one word and I would be disappointed if she had. This was her response. "Hmmm, I will give you a few that I think of when I think of you..down to earth, descriptive, honest or blunt or bold you pick, generous, sincere, funny or silly." Well Myya I asked you, I would hate to choose just one because I would surely choose the wrong one, so I've included them all!  


Thank you friends for helping me out, it was fun to see what you thought of me. If anyone else would like to leave me a word that you feel best describes me in your comment I would love to see it. That is, as long as it's nice. Remember what Thumpers Mamma said, "if you can't say something nice don't say nuthin' at all".




Now it's your turn! Grab the button below, write your post including a link to all 4 hostesses and come back to link up that post. I'll be around soon to see you!

Way cool.

I agree with your six words, BTW.

Dee said...

I still crack my knuckles lol! It drives hubby nuts, which just makes me do it even more hehe!

Mamarazzi said...

1.Australia sounds nice.

2. booger flickers...news flash people, windows are made of glass...that you can SEE through.

3. mmmmm pot pie and root beer...YUM.

4. morbid, yes...but i wanna know too. the Michael Jackson questions made me laugh.

5. good idea to ask people...i agree with the 6 words you chose.

i would add obstinate...but it takes one to know one, so don't take that as a bad thing.

Who would say anything mean about you?? Come on! i don't feel I know you well enough yet to guess...I'll have to give you a lil longer :)
Going to Europe is on my Bucket list...I really need to make one, but I fear I won't do anything on it..so I haven't.
Do you know what???? The cracking your knuckles thing causing arthritis?? Totally a myth...I took Anatomy and Physiology in Massage school and while that in no way gives me the ability to diagnose...my anatomy teacher told us that when you pop or crack your knuckles your only releasing a gas within your joints and that you can pop and crackle all day and it won't cause arthritis...that's what I was told. I choose to believe it. Genetics and old age on the other hand...probably :)
Serial killer thing...not strange, I probably would do the same.

Pattie said...

Love all the answers to these questions. 8>)

Nadine Hightower said...

I have wonder that about people picking their noses in the car. It's like they are invisible when they are in the car or what?? Cuz, Dude! we see you pickin' your nose!!!

Amy said...

I didn't read any of these before I did my post and we BOTH want to go to Australia! Woohoo!

Gross! I hate public booger flickers. They need to save that for in their bedrooms and cover the walls!

You need to diet about as much as I do...

Good question for MJ...He dyed his skin, I believe!

I would say you are genuine...that's the word I'd describe you...what you see, is what you get!

allstarme said...

My husband would agree that cracking knuckles is a bad habit but I do it and totally think it's worth it. :) Happy Wednesday.

Stacie said...

The booger thing is always going to be in the back of my mind. If we were ever to meet, I'd have to think twice before shaking your hand, sorry....

If you get the answer to the whole Michael Jackson thing, will you let us in on it?

Amber said...

Good idea having people you know describe you! That is fun to read.

I totally relate to the not feeling full thing. I don't like eating and not feeling "satisfied" after (and that includes fullness factor). I have to figure out how to break away from food being an enjoyment to it being a fuel source (but I'm not sure I even want that mentality!).


Everyone keeps starting off with really gross habits and then saying "JK, JK, LOL!!" I'm eating breakfast here people!!!!

Kimi said...

I was actually witness to this just a few days ago. The woman stopped next to me was digging for some serious treasure. It was NASTY.

I could eat pizza for ever meal. Seriously.

Sheryl said...

I am right there with you with wanting to question serial killers! I changed my college degree 3 times during my 2 attempts at college before finally succeeding. First, it was Criminal Justice (ended up dropping out because life happened); Second, Financial Advisor - the numbers terrified me; Third, Psychology. I will sit and watch "48 hours" and Criminal shows all freaking day long because I want to know what makes those types of people tick, and why they think the way they do.


This was fun, and loved the questions!

Johanson Family said...

Heh.. I really thought when reading that you had a booger picking problem.. So thankful you don't! hah! What a great idea to ask some IRL friends to help answer your words to describe question. I had a hard time with that one!! It would be interesting to know what happened to Michael Jackson but I'd also inquire... what's the deal with your kids?

VandyJ said...

I have a morbid fascination with serial killers and the catching of murders. Love reading true crime on occasion. I totally get it.
Pizza, mmmmm!

Boobies said...

I was skeered you were really a nose picker. Whew! My son pops his neck incessantly...it makes me crazy. Can you break your neck like that, I wonder?

I'd interview serial killers too..because I'm morbid like that!

Great answers!

Brandy@YDK said...

my bloggy friend lives in australia and she's doing like a house swap thing. she wants to come stay here and someone go stay in her house. It sounds SO cool if I could afford airfare.

Impulsive Addict said...

M and I would love to visit Australia too. It's such a LOOOOONG flight. That part scares me.

{throwing up} That was disgusting. I'm so glad it was a joke! I crack my knuckles on occasion. Mostly when I'm feeling nervous.

Pepperoni pizza is my fav kind of pizza. Unfortunately, I don't eat it very often because I don't know when to stop! I can put away some serious food. I'm thinking about shrinking my tummy by not eating for 7 days.

I need to know that about Michael too. Seriously? Did he look at himself in the mirror every morning and go WTH happened to my FACE?

I think all those words describe you....except for sincere. HA! I'M KIDDING!!! And I love sassy friends. I could use that word on 90% of my friends IRL. Apparently, it's a quality that I need in my friends!

McKenzie said...

I have watched so many people pick their nose at stop lights, haha. I definitely was reading! Pot pie and pizza sound amazing.. I am curious of what Hitler's answer would be. I don't think it is morbid. HAHA I love what you would ask Micheal Jackson!!

singedwingangel said...

Love the answers and I have joined for my first time ahem on my adult blog just to warn ya. I love your page and you answers. I used to want to go to Australia until I heard about their snake population and changed my mind real quick.

Sarah Kate said...

I just busted out laughing at your bad habit answer!! You're too funny!! I just link up with ya'll for the first time and I can't wait to do it again next week!!

Love your blog, too!! Diggin' the picture of Belle on your family page. She's got some style! ;o) Following you now and can't wait to see more posts!!

xoxo,

Eww Eww Eww nose picking- how could I not be your newest follower?

I found the linky on Mamarazzi and had to play along- so glad I am finding all these wonderful new blogs.

I picked Hitler too (before I read yours) mine was more along the lines of WTF?

Love what I've seen of your blog, I'll be back.

Xazmin said...

I made it! Yay!

So fun learning more about each other.

Also, to put your mind at ease - my doctor told me popping your knuckes does NOT cause arthritis. He said that is and old wives tale.

Just so ya know!

MiMi said...

LITERALLY laughing out loud at the rolled up booger!!!
WHY the EFF do people do that?! Like you're invisible in your car. Hello? Can you see me? That means I can see your stupid ass too!!! lol
HAHAHAHA, Myya IS totally Chatty Cathy, huh? I love that about her!
I ALMOST put that I'd love to interview Osama...and I would only have one word. "DIE MOTHER FUBLEEEP!!!!" Okay, that's 3. And then I'd shoot him.
Sheesh, THAT sounds morbid, doesn't it?
I wouldn't do that. Was that a Die Hard thing though? Cuz that's what I was goin' for.

sarajo said...

Not morbid at all. I wish I would have thought of that.

That meal sounds sooooo good! I'm thinking I'm gonna be very hungry and having some weird cravings after reading everyones meal wishes! LOL!

Jessica said...

I've always wanted to go to Australia too! LOVE LOVE LOVE the accents!

I was totally making an Ewww face about your booger flicking HAHA. I stopped cracking my knuckles when I heard it could cause arthritis but then I heard that was a myth. So now I just crack them occasionally. Makes sense to me! 50/50 chance right?


Pizza & Root Beer! Now you are speaking my language! YUM. I made Chicken Pot Pie for dinner last night as well!

I agree with your #4 about asking Hitler. I had the same thought. Michael Jackson is another good one! What did happen to his nose?

Well I don't know you very well but I would say that you have a great sense of humor and you keep it real.

Vivienne @ the V Spot said...

I would like to visit AU too! And I try not to crack my knuckles too! And I love pizza too! And I would ask Hitler those questions too! (especially since he has probably seen where he ended up as a result of his actions!)
And I agree with your 6+ words too!

I soooo can't wait for the 20th! :)

Connie said...

Awww.....Michael Jackson. That's a really good one!

My word for you is generous.

Thank you for being a friend.

Jen said...

I loved reading your answers and I am so excited to meet you guys in TWO WEEKS! Yay :) I pick my nose in the car too. No one can see, right??

Conni said...

oh so that is you picking your nose at the red lights, good to know, I suppose you are the one singing and bouncing around when you are all alone too??

Thanks for sharing

Emmy said...

Okay as soon as I read crack your knuckles I cracked mine-so I guess that is one of my bad habits too.

And I think if everyone was totally honest- I think everyone has picked their nose t some point- sometimes blowing just doesn't work.

Bridget said...

Kyle cracks his knuckles and it makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. I think he occasionally does it to drive me nuts...the evil look in his eyes and the grin on his face gives him away ;)

Australia sounds wonderful.

Jenna said...

Australia sounds gorgeous!

Mmm...pizza is on my list too! Pepperoni and tomato is sooo yummy!

I definitely find you very entertaining! (even if the whole booger did make me gag...lol)

Happy Wednesday :)

shortmama said...

My hubs and I are both knuckled crackers...and my 3 year old will lay her feet in my lap and beg me to pop her toes...not even kidding!

Erinsgobragh said...

Oh gosh boogers lol. My bad habit is I have to chew gum after every meal to cleans my pallet. lol. I do tend to cuss a bit more than I should which is going to have to change soon since Sam is going to be picking up up sigh. Gosh Darnet! Or as my good friend says Monkey Balls!

Forgetfulone said...

I knew you would never pick your nose and flick it out the window! LOL My one word for you... funny.
