alrighty then
who wants a little "a" for their "q"?
i'm gonna go ahead and put a little disclaimer in here that a few of these q's really made me think. and thinking really hard isn't something i try to do on a regular basis. the effort of it all, it's exhausting.
here we gooooooooo.....
q #1 from Linda G.
have you ever thought about writing professionally?
yes linda, yes i have. i think about it a lot. and then i crumble into a ball of self doubt and realize that most writers/journalists are a lot smarter than me don't typically defer to words alluding to swear words in order to express themselves adequately. and thank you for the compliment. i like cracking people up so we are a perfect match.
q#2 from slice of life
you posted about cooking more frugally... how are you doing with that and what is your favourite recipe so far?
well dearie, i would rate my efforts somewhere between a 5 and 6 on a 10 point effort scale. the nub kind of threw me for a loop on the whole cooking dinner thing as in i just stopped doing it. BUT as of late i am renewed. i have found inspiration again. and i am back on it. i have a half beef in my freezer along with a costco sized box of eggo waffles. if that's not a recipe for success than i don't know what is.
favorite recipe would be connie's whole wheat bread. easy peasy, nutritious and delicious. yes. i actually baked bread for about a month. i need to do that again. thanks for the reminder. would you like me to post the recipe?
q #3 from SUE S! {speaking of writers...}
what would the new major be?
creative writing? english? journalism? cupcake taste analyzer {that's a major, right?} i need some help narrowing it down...
q #4 from nikki
if you could say you learned 3 main things in life what would those three things be?
so far:
1. braces are the answer to a lot of things
2. most of the time, what i REALLY want to say is definitely NOT what needs to be said
3. babies are worth it
q #5 from reagan
if you had to have a lop sided chest or lop sided butt what would it be?
chest. you can fake a lot with a good bra. trust me, i know.
q #6 from La
did having a baby make you want less children or is that just me?
it's not just you. i called my spouse two weeks ago and informed him that our son was going to be an only child. except then the nub started napping during the day and i felt a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe i could do it again. we'll re-evaluate after #2, which won't be anytime soon.
q #7 from yen
backne or crackne?
the occasional backne for me. those hormonees can be a real biatch.
and i've been waiting for you to come up here for like a year so we can visit the magical dwarf chocolate shopp{e}.
q #8, 9, 10 and 11 from nat
8. what is your favorite ride at disneyland
9. if you could be any person on the planet, living or dead, who would it be?
10. if you were a fruit would you be a banana or an orange?
11. who is your best e-bff?
8. tie between pirates and indiana jones
9. i think i'd want to be Gus, but he's not a person. does that still count? copious amounts of sleeping, eating, pooping, playing, and not to mention heavy petting... what's not to love?
10. ORANGE
11. it's you, YOU YOU YOU!!!
q #12 from emily
what was your first major?
it changed about 6 times in the space of 3 years, but my actual degree is in recreational therapy
q #13 from natalie
how did you meet your husband?
he walked into my office my first week at a new job and insulted me. and then i knew it must be love...
q #14 from fig
how many guys were on "the list"
more than 10 and less than 50
q #15 from teri
do you have any real regrets? what are they and what would you do differently if you got a second chance. OH and do you wish your list was longer?
i have a few {those who say they don't are liars}. i wish i would have made better use of my time in college. i wish i would have worked less and spent more time learning. i wish i would have taken a few of the classes i wanted to take rather than those i had to take. i wish i could remember half the stuff i did learn. i wish i had been a better sister. i wish i would have been stronger in my beliefs. i wish that at times i wouldn't have been so afraid to ask questions. i wish i had been more comfortable with who i was.
i wish i hadn't kissed a lot of those dumb boys... the list definitely did not need to be any longer than it was.
q #16 from sister pottymouth
out of everyone on the list who was the best kisser?
i'm not even lying here when i say hub. hands down. from what i remember anyway...
q #17 from brooke
favorite meal ever?
connie's burger bundles. with german chocolate cake to top. yes.please.
and the nub's cheeks? a daily meal.
q #18 from Sue
who is funnier-your husband or you?
ME. ME ME ME ME! except for when he is. which is often.
q #19 from wendy
a cup, b cup or c cup?
the answer is d, none of the above
q #20 from shayla
what would your platform be if you ran for president?
4 day work weeks and mandatory siestas! 3 month vacations! cupcake saturdays!
q #21 from fig {i forgot to add this one, sorry friendy}
if you could pick one person to switch bodies with who would it be?
i've always appreciated the athletic body. i think muscles on a girl are to be respected. so i'd have to say someone like misty may treanor {pro volleyball player} or gabrielle reece.
q's #22, 23, 24, 25 & 26 from shar
22. favorite movie ever?
23. favorite book?
24. favorite restaurant?
25. how many kids did you think you'd have growing up?
26. how many kids do you think you want now?
22. thoroughly modern millie. RAZZZZBERRRIIEEEEES!! if you haven't seen it your life is empty and meaningless. carol channing, mary tyler moore AND julie andrews. that friends, is movie magic.
23. this is a toughie. growing up i read over and over again a book named cold sassy tree by olive ann burns so i guess i'd have to say that one. it's always been my go to.
24. alexi's greek restauraunt in hillcrest, san diego. if you find yourself in the SD then go. you won't regret it. and tell my little gay waiter friend i said hello. get the gyro. and the hummus plate.
25. i honestly thought i wanted like 8 or 9 because babies the more the merrier, right?
26. now it's more like "if i survive 2 then i could probably do 3, and then maybe 4 if i'm feeling especially brave"
q #27 from stoopid
which was more embarrassing? braces or early high sjmchool?
early high school, because it was the trifecta; horrifically crooked teeth, bad bad eyebrows, and debilitating awkwardness. at least when i finally got braces the other things sort of got under control. i said sort of. braces and college weren't exactly a match made in heaven either.
anyone else?

Dang it. I missed the q part of the q&a post, so I'll just ask here.
What is your favorite movie ever?
Favorite book?
Favorite restaurant?
How many kids did you think you'd have growing up?
How many kids do you think you want now?
That's all I got for now.
English? Really? Cause why bother going back to school for the same useless degree I have? All that work and you'd be in the same boat. ;-)
At least here in Texas, one can teach without a teaching degree. They just have to get certified within a year.
Those who can't; teach.
Hey, I asked two questions!
I got nothing...but:
a. it was great seeing you the other night, met the hub, pulled faces at the nub=awesome.
b. you.are.funny. Your answers are THE BEST!
Love it! Fun post!
Agreed about athletic bodies. 100%. I love me some Gabrielle.
Also, re: #1 - you do know there are lots of kinds of writers, right? There's a place for the outspoken and the funny and even the mildly vulgar writers, right up there with the profound and stylized and otherwise uptight writers.
I think you should do it. You'd be fabulous with your own humor column in a paper, or a mag, or, I guess, a blog. You make people laugh, and who doesn't want to laugh? No one, that's who.
i love it kal!! so funny. u are a prize.
ps- love the shout-outs to millie and greek. mmm greek.
you are hilarious!! And I frequently sing the tapioca song form thoroughly modern millie...who wouldn't love it?
Loved all your answers. You crack me up!
tap.tap..tap.tap..tap.tap..tapioca everbody....slap.slap..slap.slap.....haha. LOVE IT! I wish I had seen the other post about the q's. Here's my q.....want to beat down a certain Auntie? :)
tapioca...obviously. :)
Love you and your talking. I have been thinking about those lovely burger bundles lately and was actually gonna see if I could get the recipe. Also would love the wheat bread recipe. You are a doll and I love ya!
You make me laugh. I would love the wheat bread recipe. I have started making my own also.
kali have you ever read the book Babywise? After reading that book I realized I was doing everything wrong. After 2 days on the Babywise routine, Cru went from getting up ever 2hours at night and only napping like 2 hours a day to napping 5 hours a day and sleeping 8 hours at night. Its fantastic! I feel like I am in control now...not him.
Also, you should write professionally, typically if it scares the hell out of you, it's your calling.
As your sister I would have to say this was my favorite post...i say you should write. You're good at it and you love it. Oh, and babywise saved my life. And Kalli, you were always a great sister to me. I have a CD you made for me to prove it...stoopid
most emberassing/least favorite? A) time of your braces B) early highschool
Kalli, re you as a writer, I think any reader of your blog would agree that you have got IT! You could definitely shine in this arena. Maybe by the time you emerge from j- or writing school, media outlets would have finished spazzing out and might actually be creating some jobs again.
Whatever the industry does, I for one love your writing.
Cheers,
Sue S.
