Don't miss Part 1 here and Part 2 here. Also, don't forget that everyone who asked a question is hereby tagged to answer that question along with four others from the comments here. Some of you are wishing you'd been just a little less interested in my sex life, now aren't you? Better get cracking on that, or I'm going to start harassing you personally. Ok then, let's dig in.
Julie asked: "Who is on your Top 5 "to do" list? I mean other than Clive.?
Y'all, I am so married. I can't imagine "doing" anybody else, even in the never-gonna-happen way-out-of-my-league celebrity sense. Now, if you asked for my Top 5 "go out for coffee and flirt shamelessly with" that would be a whole other story, but you didn't.
Shelly asked: "Assuming you sleep naked, if there was a fire, would you rather have to run outside in only your socks, your undies or your bra?"
Depends. If it's cold, socks. If it's warm, undies. If the house is on fire, as long as I make it outside with Mia and Chris I don't give a hot damn what I'm wearing. Besides, I can hide behind them until some nice fireman gives me a blanket. Mmmmm.... firemen.
Mrs. M asked: "Hmmm, tell me about your religious views, how you were raised, how you think, etc. Certainly this covers all the bases since sex is on here and you've already professed you're liberal."
I was raised Episcopalian - choir, acolyte, youth groups, the whole shebang. I'm an atheist.
Jen asked: "If you had to pick-which would you choose?
1. The Bikini Wax
2. The Brazilian Bikini
3. The Playboy Bikini Wax
4. The Sphinx"
Um, I don't even know what half of those are. Does everybody know but me? I suppose I could google it, but I'm a little scared of what I'll find.
Kelley asked: "Did you ever get that growth-thingie removed from your scalp?"
That "growth-thingie" is a mole that decided to start growing and freak me out while I was pregnant. I still have it because a) it is under my hair so nobody ever sees it, b) having it removed would mean shaving part of my head, which does not sound hott, and c) my insurance company won't pay for it unless I come through with the cancer. I did have Chris look at it for me a while ago, just to make sure it didn't seem angry, and he shocked me by informing me that it was scalp-colored. I had always assumed it was mole-colored. You know, brown and stuff, like my symmetrical armpit moles. You all totally want me right now, don't you? Yeah, I thought so.
And that's it, I'm out. Get to meme-ing, people!

So, Chris is asking us to ask questions...I'm sure you know everything about him, but what do you think I should ask that you'd like him to have to answer?

But...but...where did the Jewish come from? Or did you just say that so I'd make out with you?

Hi. You really should have the mole looked at by a dermatologist.

I'm in awe of your transparency! Truly admirable.

Um...I have A QUESTION. Am I too late? I just asked Chris this question and thought I'd get your take. I am lame with the question asking, so...uh...here goes.
You can time travel (safely) anywhere! What historic (or not historic) event(s) do you want to see first-hand? Why?
Posted by Sparkle Pants | February 20, 2007 9:27 AM
Okay, I will play. I asked more than one question, so I'm going to answer those and a few others. ;-)
What is your secret, comfort food indulgence that you are embarassed to admit because some may find it disgusting?
A: I have several. Velvetta Cheese, Kraft American slices, or Cheez Whiz on almost anything is a comfort. I also make a rice, cheese (sauce includes various types of cheeses and one of the above), mushrooms, chicken and garlic concoction.
Name a "bad" thing you did as a child or teenager that no one ever found out about.
A: I helped someone steal something back from someone who was stealing from them.
Complete this sentence: In my refrigerator/kitchen/pantry, you can always find:
A: Various types of cheese, pasta, garlic, garlic paste, butter, bread, and rice.
Name an item you secretly covet, but haven't told anyone about because it doesn't make any sense for you to want such a thing.
A: That I want a digital camera isn't a secret, but that I want a professional one is. It doesn't make sense because I currently have three 35mm and one medium format film cameras.
Name an eatery/restaurant that you are embarassed to tell people is on your short list of favorite places to eat.
A:
Tell us about something you said or did as a child that your family won't let you forget.
A: My mother put my hair into two long braids for picture day when I was in kindergarten. I was hot so I wrapped the braids around the top ponytail holders and forgot to take down the braids when I sat for the portrait. I looked like I had bull horns.
Ali asked: "do you fart in front of each other?? what about pee?"
No and no. I've been with my DH for 17 years, but I just can't.
Jen asked: "If you had to pick-which would you choose?
1. The Bikini Wax
2. The Brazilian Bikini
3. The Playboy Bikini Wax
4. The Sphinx"
I'm with you on this one, Beth. I haven't a clue what the last two are. I may look it up later if I can work up the courage.
Shelly asked: "Assuming you sleep naked, if there was a fire, would you rather have to run outside in only your socks, your undies or your bra?"
Bra. I would want the girls to look perky.
TheQueen asked: "What is the oldest thing in your house?"
My mother. She is 65.

Sorry, I forgot to answer this one.
Name an eatery/restaurant that you are embarassed to tell people is on your short list of favorite places to eat.
A: Kennedy Fried Chicken. (aka Ghetto Kentucky Fried Chicken)

For what it's worth, I just had a mole removed and it wasn't too expensive; I think it was $135 (office visit = covered by insurance. "in-office surgery" = not)
Posted by sandra | February 20, 2007 10:26 AM
If you ever find out what "The Sphinx" is, do tell. Sounds horrid, yet intriguing.
Posted by Louisa | February 20, 2007 10:45 AM
How and when did you go from Episcopalian to atheist? (always interested in religious/spiritual journeys)
Posted by Jen | February 20, 2007 12:38 PM
I don't have any interesting comments or questions, it was just amusing that the sidebar ad was for adult diapers.
Posted by Jen | February 20, 2007 2:54 PM
Ok this is totally off topic but I was wondering..I was looking at your archives and when did you start getting a lot of traffic. It seemed you went from a couple comments to almost 30 overnight. Just wondering if there was a certain post or some other way you got increased traffic to your blog or is it just simply because your fabulous?
Posted by Lisa | February 20, 2007 3:01 PM
that last one is, indeed, real attractive! ;) I had a mole removed from my head when I was a kid -- they didn't have to shave anything! I don't believe it was skin-coloured, though, fyi. ;)

Busy days at work and not much computering time at home meant I missed "Ask Beth a Question Day". Wow am I glad I did. Now I don't feel obligated to answer five of those humdingers :)
Posted by anna | February 21, 2007 12:37 AM
I can't believe you're answering all of these questions (you're such a good sport!) and I'm so glad I didn't ask a question, because I wouldn't want to answer ANY of those!

How can you look in the face of your beautiful child, yes she is gorgeous, and not believe in God?
I've been reading you for so long, I'm just stumped with this seemingly "flip" answer.
We've talked off line so many times, I'm not being judgemental here, just really don't get it.
Email if you wanna, flick me like a booger if ya wanna...

"How can you look in the face of your beautiful child, yes she is gorgeous, and not believe in God?"
Isn't it enough to see that a garden is beautiful without having to believe that there are fairies at the bottom of it too?
-- Douglas Adams
Why do you have to believe in invisible friends in order to love your child?
