Did you really want to know any of this?

Because Mark, who was tagged by Tish who was tagged by Mike, who was tagged by Paula who was tagged by Karen (enough already or this won’t end, go to Karen’s link if you really want to see who tagged Karen) tagged me with this meme, you will now get to read a whole lot more about me than I would usually ever post of my own will. And so to those whom I will tag (because you know that’s a part of it) I suggest you blame Mark, who will then blame Tish, who will then blame Mike, who will then blame Paula, who will then blame Karen; since we’ll all be sick of clicking to find out who to blame… it’ll all probably stop at Karen. Poor Karen. I’ll have to find out if she’s listed at fuelmyblog, so then I can vote for her to make up for this.

A-Attached or Single? Attached… by three umbilical cords that I thought the doctor cut but obviously he didn’t do that right either. Oh, maybe it meant married. Yes. I’m that.

B-Best Friend: On the grounds that this can tend to hurt people who wonder why they weren’t mentioned, let’s just say that those who are close to me are made to know how special they are. So hey… if I’ve not told you something like that at some point then just frac off. (Joking… I’m joking.)

C-Cake or Pie: Cake, but it better taste as good as it looks or don’t waste my time. If I’m going to consume the calories it better be worth it or I may have to send “the family” to teach you a lesson. 

D-Drink of Choice: I don’t care if you mean non-alcoholic, I (as you read right up front) am the mom of three kids. What the hell, my favorite drink is obviously going to involve alcohol.  It’s a toss up. Good wine or a (lime, not those pretend strawberry ones) Margarita. No beer. Beer is pee water.

E-Essential Item: Well heck.. I’m female. Ask me that at varying times and the answer will differ. Some days it would be my glasses/contacts and other days the answer would be… tampon!!! Sheesh. Again, I’m the mom of three kids who breastfed, so then again… a good bra is always important. And then on those days when I’m reeeeeaaalllly sick of the fact that I’m a mom of three kids (yeah you silly moms of babies and toddlers, that happens… just wait till you have teenagers) my answer might be the computer, or that bottle of wine….

Are you sorry you asked now?

F-Favorite Color: Denim Blue. What? You’re surprised I gave such a simple answer? I can do that sometimes.

G-Gummi Bears or Worms? Bears, although I don’t usually eat those kind of sweets. I’m more of a saltwater taffy or licorice gal.

H-Hometown: Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada

I-Indulgence: Just never you mind.

J-January or February: Neither, it’s cold here. The only redeeming quality in either is that one of my children was born in January. I’m not a big fan of Valentine’s Day, so really, in Canada both months just mean cold.

K-Kids: Well, by now you know I have three. Shoot me if you hear me say I want more. I love the ones I have more than any of them can comprehend, but I’m over 40 and don’t really want to be still wiping bums at 60… unless of course, it’s because old age has gotten to Mr. Fracas and well… people do all kinds of things for love, don’t they?

L-Life is incomplete without: Faith & Love

M-Marriage Date: Umm, I’m married and I already said that so no… I can’t date. (Was that a sneaky enough way of avoiding posting too personal information?) Suffice it to say that I’ve been with Mr. Fracas (married as well as pre-married) for almost 25 years.

N-Number of Siblings: Seven. I love them all, but as people here know, am closest to Aussiebabe, LindaC, and one who does not blog. As my oldest son put it on my birthday as we were enjoying a nice glass of wine with Mr. Fracas, if the three of them were here with me… we would most definitely have a good time! 

O-Oranges or Apples? In the morning, oranges. Any other time of day, apples.

P-Phobias/Fears: Fracas is fearless! I own the cape and I can fly.

Q-Favorite Quote: I have too many “favorite” quotes. I guess I should do a post about it. Thanks. I’ll save that for a day when I’m brain dead and then just copy and paste.

R-Reasons to smile: God, Family, Friends, Garden. In that order.

S-Season: Autumn

T-Tag Three: Jayleen, Iced Mocha, and bluepaintred. If I didn’t tag you and you want to do this, please… consider yourself tagged, post yours and blame me. I don’t mind. Blame it on the missing “V” in the list; it upset the whole balance of the universe and therefore anyone can do this meme if they want to.

U-Unknown Fact About Me: I can’t sing worth a shit darn.

W-Worst Habit: Obviously it’s that I have a  #@$!%# potty mouth, since everything else about me is perfect. ; – ) 

X-X-rays or Ultrasounds? I’ve had three kids, so have had enough ultrasounds in my life, thank you very much. I’d prefer not to need X-rays though, since that would mean something crappy happened to me.

Y-Your Favorite Foods: Lobster, fresh asparagus, artichokes, wild rice, corn on the cob, raspberries, strawberries, saskatoon berries, chocolate. Fracas is not cheap.

Z-Zodiac: Taurus. I’m bull-headed and I like it that way.

cute meme

there is also an alphabet meme for coming up with the letters on blogging (each person adds a letter with four words starting with the letter) – I managed to get a few of letters from around the blogosphere post – not sure if more have been added since yesterday.

Okay, I did it… But I answered on my personal blog instead of my which has much nicer things to look at.

I hope I didn’t mess up the links…

Comment by jayleen

Holy Toledo… Sorry Fracas… I just can’t figure out how to use html in these comments… can you fix it please? lol

The first should link to Grrr and where is says ‘instead of my’ “Photo Blog” should follow with the link to it…
