I’ve always though that these things can tell you a lot about a person.
I see people do posts where they ask their readers questions. I always answer. Mostly because I love to answer questions. I used to buy all those silly teen magazines to fill out the multiple choice quiz’s. I am well known for coming up with random questions and making forcing begging bribing my best friends to answer them. Aren’t you glad I’m not your best friend? Never mind, you don’t need to answer that one.
Have I mentioned I have a problem?
Anyway, I thought I’d give it a try. Please play along if you’re willing. It doesn’t hurt, there are no wrong answers and you won’t be graded. I just sorta want to get to know my readers a bit more.
1. How do you take your coffee?
2. Are you pro or against Blue Cheese?
3. What is your absolute favorite blog to read? Also what is your guilty blog? The one you don’t want to tell me that you adore and read without telling anyone?
4. What would be your perfect meal?
5. If you could vacation anywhere, money was no option, where would you go?
6. Last movie you saw in a theater?
7. What’s a baby name that you have never used and may never use but always wished you could?
8. Favorite flavor of Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream?
9. Last book you read that doesn’t have pictures?
10. How many siblings do you have? Do you get along with them?
11. What is one random thing about you, that I may not know?
I’m in!
skipping some.
1. Dark, no sugar.
2. Love blue cheese so much.
3. oh, god. So many. I don’t have a guilty pleasure one, they’re all happy pleasures.
5. Right now, I’d go to Paris.
7. Jude. Love that name. So much.
8. Chubby Hubby. I miss ice cream. Sigh.
9. Finished Anne Lamott’s “Imperfect Birds” last week. Eh.
10. Zero. Yes, I get along with them.
11. There’s nothing about me that you don’t know.

@Marinka, Dude, you saw karate….I mean Kunk Fu kid, right?
Ha, see I do know you. I am in your minds.
Blue cheese? *shudder*
I love this stuff too. I take every survey e-mailed and always answer magazine quizzes.
1. I drink my coffee with lots of non-fat milk and one Splenda.
2. I am pro Blue Cheese, but I wasn’t always. This is a recent development.
3. This is a tough one. I read yours without fail (stalker alert!), I still like Dooce and even though she’s controversial and pisses everyone off, I love to read Anna over at abdpbt.com.
4. My favorite meal is a grilled filet mignon, mashed potatoes and a caesar salad. Bonus points for mac and cheese instead of the potatoes.
5. If money was no object I’d vacation in Paris and Tuscany. For months. Maybe years.
6. The last movie I saw in a theater? I think it was Up in the Air.
7. I always wanted to use the name Emily Grace for a girl. Since that didn’t happen, I named my dog Gracie. Close enough, right?
8. haven’t had Ben and Jerry’s in years. I don’t know what my favorite flavor is. Do they just have chocolate?
9. The last book I read was “Orange is the New Black.”
10. I have one brother. He’s 8 years older than I am and we didn’t really get along as kids because I was the bratty younger sister. But by the time I got to college we became much closer.
11. You may not know that when I’m stressed out I bit and rip my cuticles until they bleed.

Emily Grace is very pretty. I always like Emily, it is just a bit too popular for me.

@ally (adil320),
Now I’m totally craving Mac N Cheese!
Mo´s last blog ..Bits And Pieces
(1) With whole milk and liquid creamer- yes both, I use the milk to whiten and the creamer to flavor/ sweeten, but if you use it for whitening, you need too much… I like my coffee light. ha.
(2) Pro. As long as it’s paired well- it’s a powerful flavor.
(3) Favorite- Attack of the Redneck Mommy… Guilty Pleasure?? hmm, I don’t really feel guilty about any of them! ha. But I am inclined to say Black Hockey Jesus.
(4) Depends on the day, but I love falafel with cucumber sauce. and a strawberry daquiri on the side, thank you muchly.
(5) All over Europe! I have always wanted to take an extended vacation and explore over there- I want to see Rome, Paris, Amsterdam, Venice, Berlin… *sigh* I would love it.
(6) The Princess and the Frog. lol.
(7) I used to always want to name my daughter Autumn, but then it just didn’t seem right when I was preggo. I love the name Aiden, but since I’m Jaden and my nephew is Kaden, I don’t think we could get away with that….
(8) Strawberry Cheesecake. Love.
(9) Pretty Dead, Francesca Lia Block
(10) I have one full brother who’s four years younger than me and one of the few people in life I would die for. He’s about to go into the Coast Guard and I am so proud but hate that he’s leaving! Then I have three half brothers, two of them are on my dad’s side and are 12 and 10, the other is on my mom’s side and is 12, I love them all of course. It’s strange when you’re that much older than them, though, I feel like we didn’t have the chance to be as close as Mitch and I are. Then, I have one stepbrother, who’s two years younger than me… And actually, our parents are about to get divorced but I will consider him my brother forever anyway
(11) I chew the skin around my fingers so I constantly have hangnails. I know, not attractive, it’s a horrible habit and I’ve never quite been able to break it. I figure it’s better than the nails themSELVES, since I like to paint my nails and keep them somewhat pretty. lol.

@Jaden, I adore Redneck Mommy.
I love the name Aiden. But true story? Two of my cousins used it. In the same year that my middle kid was born. One was born in spring, one in fall. It cracks me up.
I bit my nails until I was like 26 and then for some reason, I just stopped.

@Issa, lol, two of my friends have sons named Aiden now too, so I definitely missed the boat on that one! I love your answers too, Piper is an AWESOME name, and Phish food? So good. But that question was almost a cheat… I mean, the real answer is: Which flavor of Ben and Jerry’s is NOT one of my favorites?! haha… I have an ice cream weakness.

@Mo, LOL! You’re probably closer to the truth there… hahaha
I figure maybe I should answer my own questions. To be fair.
1. Non-fat Mocha. With whipped cream.
2. Very against.
3. I won’t answer my favorite blog. Because that just seems wrong. Um guilty blog? Texts from Last Night. It cracks me up, yo.
4. My mom’s fried chicken. My bro’s bff’s: shrimp, bacon, mustard sauce, heaven appetizers. Grilled asparagus. Strawberry shortcake for dessert.
5. Right now? A beach in Bali or something. For a month. I also really, really want to go to Poland.
6. Karate Kid. Sunday. Was good.
7. Piper. It was what we were going to name the baby I lost a few summer’s ago. It’s still her name. But? I adore it and wish I could have used it.
8. Phish food. Chocolate, caramel, marshmallow, little dark chocolate fishy’s? What is not to love?
9. The Lightening Thief. Ha, the girls and I have been reading it. Adult book? Stefanie Wilder Taylor’s book: It’s Not Me, it’s You. Which I adored.
10. Sigh. I should say one. But I technically have two brothers. One divorced all family 5 years ago. Drugs are his family of choice. The other brother and I get along great except when he’s being a dumbass like this week. ha.
1. Light and Sweet with French Vanilla Coffeemate.
2. I like bleu cheese DRESSING but I am not a huge fan of crumbles. I go the feta route if I want spoiled solidified dairy product.
3. I would really have to say that the first blog I check every week day is “The Spohrs are Multiplying”. I love me some Heather. Guilty blog? Meh…I always check TMZ and silly shit like that.
4.I am all about steak and potatoes. Any kind of big huge steak and potatoes. Or Mac and Cheese…though still with steak. Now I’m hungry.
5.Australia.
6.The Devils Rejects. I had a panic attack in the theatre and I haven’t been to a movie since.
7.Kadence Grace
8.Phish Food
9.I am reading “Come Back”. It is an amazing Mother/Daughter memoir by Clair and Mia Fontaine. Amazing.
10.I have an older brother, by 6 years. We get along alright but it is a strange relationship.
11.I’m adopted.

Mo´s last blog ..Bits And Pieces
1. Tons of splenda and skim milk.
2. Love. Especially melted on a filet. NOM
3. Um, IDK..my favorite is probably Looneytunes. I love Loralee, she is real, she responds, and I think I would totally make out, or hang out with her. I think my guilty ones are the crazy ones you and Jenna tell me about…like Failbook or whatever that crap is.
4. Mom’s Chicken picatta
5. What’s your address again? If not there, Italy to where I used to live near Rome.
6. IDk. The Hangover? I know it’s been a REALLY longish time.
7.Shcafer…it’s a family name on MIke’s side. We think it would be a cool first name for a girl.
8.I honestly don’t know what they are called.
9. Um, probably the Stephanie Plum Series. I read like all 15 or something during my last surgery/couch time.
10.SKIP

@Susan @ Sassafrassery, Garlic bread might be one of the best foods ever invented.
Middlesex? I think I’ve read that. Or I own it. Yeah, it’s probably that.
There are WAY worse ones things than that.
1. How do you take your coffee?
I don’t. Effin hate coffee. Hate the taste and hate the smell. And I laugh at all of you addicted people.
2. Are you pro or against Blue Cheese?
Totally pro.
3. What is your absolute favorite blog to read? Also what is your guilty blog? The one you don’t want to tell me that you adore and read without telling anyone?
Favourites is everyone in my “I click here.” Compared to some people, I read a really small number of blogs. Guilty blog is Perez Hilton. Every now and then, I check it, and then I immediately hate myself for it.
4. What would be your perfect meal?
Anything that’s fresh and local. Frozen food doesn’t appeal to me at all. But I like everything from red meat to fresh veggies, and almost every type of cuisine. Unless there’s bananas in it. I hate bananas.
5. If you could vacation anywhere, money was no option, where would you go?
I’d hit every country that uses Euros. What? You said money was no object, and I love me some Europe.
6. Last movie you saw in a theater?
The remake of Death at a Funeral that has Chris Rock in it. Good times.
7. What’s a baby name that you have never used and may never use but always wished you could?
I’m majorly drawn to the name Emmett. But I’ll probably never use it now. Thanks, Twilight, you jerks.
8. Favorite flavor of Ben and Jerry’s Ice cream?
Half Baked.
9. Last book you read that doesn’t have pictures?
HA! I’m in school. So…”Jewish Life in Renaissance Italy” currently. The last fiction was Obsession by Jonathan Kellerman.
10. How many siblings do you have? Do you get along with them?
Zero. And 6. Zero bio sibs, but 6 friends that I’ve known since before I could remember. They love me, love me, long time.
11. What is one random thing about you, that I may not know?
I’m a lefty when it comes to writing, but in all sports, I’m ambidextrous. Weird, right?

The other one is going to be Nathaniel, thanks for asking. Who, me? Thought about this too much? Nooooooo….Nope.
Frozen food is ick. Frozen prepared food is ick squared. I avoid that aisle in the grocery like the plague.

Issa´s last blog ..Almost 21 months
1. With flavored creamer and splenda. I don’t really drink coffee for the coffee but the oomph I need.
2. Pro. Definitely.
3. That’s a hard one to answer… I read a lot that I like and then I’ll find news ones and some old ones will fade away. I don’t really have a guilty blog, does that make me lame?
4. One on the beach, where I don’t have to cook or clean or prepare or cut one’s food. You know, something romantic you see in the movies.
5. I’d go back to Bora Bora and Moorea for very long time. Ooh, and Australia and New Zealand. I’ve always wanted to go there.
6. SATC 2 – hated it. Total waste of an outing.
7. I dunno. I’m pregnant now with #2 and I’m just hoping we have a name for him/her before we have to leave the hospital.
8. Heath bar crunch? I try not to buy B&J’s because then I’ll just eat it.
9. The Condition. I quite liked it. (I’m working my way through the Stephanie Plum series now.)
10. 2 younger brothers and we get along well. Although, I live 1000 miles away from them (or them from me) so I don’t get to see them much.

10. 3 sibs, and yeah more or less we get along. I’m living at home right now so we’ll see!

@AmazingGreis, It’s funny that you said that, I always loved the smell of coffee. Took me a while to start drinking it. Was actually not until Bailey was born. Morgan? She was a hard baby/toddler, but she always slept at night. Bailey didn’t sleep until she turned two. It was like baby warfare. I leaned to love coffee then.
1. I usually don’t take it–I prefer to pay for it. At home, must have Peppermint Mocha creamer.
2. Pro blue cheese. Much to my husband’s dismay.
3. This is like asking someone to choose between their children.
4. My grandmother’s gnocchi. None like it anywhere, not even when I was in Italy.
5. World tour, baby…India, Australia, China, Peru, and lots and lots of tropical islands. Possibly by sailboat.
6. Iron Man 2. Last night actually. Before that…um, Up?
7. Stella Pearl.
8. S’mores.
9. I can’t remember the last one I finished, but right now I’m reading Mudbound and loving it.
10. One. When he’s not being an asshole, we get along spectacularly.
11. I have an unhealthy obsession with growing roses even though I never have the time to take care of them properly.

I had a friend growing up whose grandmother lived with them. Her Gnocchi was too die for. Gah, I loved it so much. She never wrote down her recipe though. For Gnocchi or her sauce. It died with her.
3…you choose the easy answer. But I appreciate that. Ha.
1. Kaladi’s Peru Andes Roast. 1 teaspoon of sugar and a splash of nonfat milk. (Please tell me you’ve gotten Kaladi’s if you’re here in Denver).
2. I’m pro blue cheese. I’m pro ALL cheeses.
3. Favorite Blog? That is so hard! I have over 300 blogs in my RSS reader. I mostly skim them and open them up when I want to dig in. Lately, I’ve been absorbed in sewing blogs. “Mommy Loves Vodka” is one that comes to mind today. I always hang on Redneck Mommy’s every word. I love me some retrorenovation.com. (I’m obsessive about the retro house blogs since I’m doing a historic house restoration).
No guilt for me. Guilt is overrated. :> I love that I have the most schizo collection of blogs in my reader!
4. Something French. I miss my old neighborhood French restaurant from San Francisco. Maybe Salmon Eggs Benedict.
5. Right now I’d like to do a South Florida vacation. South Beach and Florida Keys.
6. I think I saw one of the Harry Potter movies at the movie theater about 4 years ago.
7. I was going to name my son Cooper…But, I found out that my college crush already had a son named Cooper. Didn’t want anyone to think I had a weird stalker thing going on. (I always liked the name, Ledare, from a Pat Conroy book…but pretty sure my husband would veto that).
8. Cherry Garcia
9. The Hour I First Believed by Wally Lamb – I highly recommend it. Bitterweet.
10. I have one brother who is 4 years younger. We get along now, but we beat the crap out of each other until I was 20.
11. I can pee faster than any other girl I know…very handy skill since my toddler likes to throw the door open in public restrooms.

1. If the spoon stands up straight then it’s strong enough. IV drip would probably be better though.
2. Don’t swear at me…. Can’t even stand the look of that stuff. Let’s not even discuss the smell (gag)
3. Let’s say yours (1,2,3….. Awwww) there’s a heap really. Love Spuds though and Dawn Meehan. They are both hilarious. As for the guilty blog…. Probably “Naked Men, Happy Women” (probably no need to explain that one right?)
4. Perfect meal would be something I didn’t have to cook and my kids didn’t argue about.
5. Hmmm, tough one. Anywhere that could keep five kids occupied, happy and out of my hair. You can just leave your kids at Disneyland right?
6.Disney’s UP. Well half of it anyway. Spent most of the time outside pushing a pram trying to get a screaming toddler to go to sleep. Sucker for punishment apparently.

@Issa, Jodi Picoult is one of my favorites – I loved 19 Minutes, for some reason, I’m not entirely sure. I’m struggling through House Rules big time right now – I may never finish. Handle With Care was good though – try that one.

@Issa, Yes. The Amish one was my first Jodi Picoult – Plain Truth. I read it after watching the Lifetime movie.
~a´s last blog ..Happiness is…
1. At home: Decaf with nonfat milk, a tablespoon of cocoa, and Stevia (sweetener). Out/Starbucks: Decaf, nonfat vanilla latte or mocha.
2. Pro Blue Cheese.
3. Honestly I don’t think I have one favorite. I like various blogs for different reasons. But if I had to list my top five, yours would be there. As for guilty blogs, there’s not a specific one, but overall it’s Hollywood/celebrity crap. I usually don’t start out looking for Hollywood gossip, but some story catches my eye on the net, and the next thing I know I’m clicking around through different related links, and a half-hour has gone by.
4. Deep dish pizza from Giordano’s, one of my favorite Chicago pizzerias. (I have yet to find a great pizza, thick crust or thin, in L.A.)
5. Europe – especially France, Italy, Greece and England.
6. I think it was Blindside. We tend to rent movies much more than seeing them in the theater.
7. Arielle. Also Chloe.
8. I haven’t had Ben and Jerry’s for years, so I don’t even remember what flavors they have. But my favorite ice cream is chocolate with peanut butter ribbons in it. If it has Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups in it, all the better!
9. Jen Lancaster’s “Such A Pretty Fat” (a coincidentally appropriate title to follow question #8)
10. I have one older brother. We live at opposite ends of the country, but we get along well. I’ve always wished I had a sister too.
11. I love dogs. I have two – a very tiny chihuahua (3 lbs) and a maltipoo. I want to adopt/rescue a golden retriever in the future. I’m a total sucker for puppies. All kinds. <3
Issa Reply:

@Elise, I still need to look up Jen Lancaster books. Maybe soon. Ha.
I loved Blindside. \
You know it’s funny, I always had Greece high on my list. Then my mom went last year and wasn’t super impressed. Or not with Athens at least. She said the smaller islands were awesome though.
1. gave up coffee 8 years ago, now I do chai tea lattes
2. Extremely pro blue cheese
3. Favorite is All & Sundry. Guilty pleasure is the old BMC, it keeps changing names.Girls Gone Child/ Suburban Turmoil would rank too–as I can’t stand the bloggers but keep reading for some unknown reason.
4. I can’t pick one meal–but it would be vegetarian.
5. Africa, then do a tour of the world.
6. Up in the Air. eh.
7. Oscar and Gabriel. Those were the boys I lost. And those will always be their names. I love the name Piper, by the way.
8. Chunky Monkey. Hands down.
9. Razor’s Edge
10.2: older sister, younger brother. They both live 3000 miles away, but we get along fine when we’re together.
11. I hate taking showers/baths.

Oscar and Gabriel are beautiful names.
Am with you on certain bloggers. I read but can’t stand them. It’s a sickness. Ha.
1. In a Frappacino. Or as a Caramel Macchiato. Anyway in which I can’t taste the coffee.
2. I’m neutral. I don’t hate it, but I certainly don’t reach for it.
3. I love The Spohrs are Multiplying. I read I Saw Your Nanny far too often. It’s ridiculous and I keep going back.
4. Pork chops, mashed potatoes and creamed corn.
5. Europe, specifically Paris and London. Or Australia. Or Europe AND Australia?
6. Alice in Wonderland
7. I haven’t got to use my baby names. But I really like Lucas and Michael but there are too many of them in my family tree for them to be an option.
8.Half Baked or whatever the chocolate chip cookie dough one is called.
9. The Blind Side. It took seven months.
10. I have a brother. And possibly a sister (long freakin’ story, maybe someday I can share. I’ve never written this before, so that’s a step, right). And not so much. The brother pretty much only was friendly in the weeks leading up to my move. We’d spent the previous 21 years arguing.
11. This list is long. I’m unbearably shy? I love baseball? I have dual citizenship? I need this question to be more specific.
