Don't SAHMBOSS Me(me) Around

This is Porter’s fault.

She tagged me with this meme/award which is now known as The Super Awesome Hot Mama Blogger or some [edit:] shizzle (SAHMBOSS) meme/award. So you can blame her for the introduction of naughty language to this blog (oh, you know you say it too), the ensuing waste of your time, and in the case of some of you, your being tagged too.

Below are my answers to some scintillating (or not) questions. I have tried to incorporate “ice cream” into as many as possible. Then I will “tag” some more of you SAHMBOSS chicas to post your answers, tag your friends, yada yada yada, we’ll all know way too much about each other.

Let the SAHMBOSSing around begin!

A. Attached or single? Attached via wedding ring.

B. Best friend? My husband. (It can be both true and a cop-out, right?)

C. Cake or pie? Pie. Or whatever comes with ice cream.

D. Day of choice? Friday.

E. Essential item? Laptop with wireless. Camera. Toothbrush.

F. Favorite color? Yellow.

G. Gummy bears or worms? Not a fan of either, but the worms have an extra ick factor.

H. Hometown? Rockpile, MI.

I. Indulgence? Staying up way too late eating Chinese food and ice cream and watching mindless TV.

J. January or July? Clearly someone in the desert wrote this meme. July!

K. Kids? One and only.

L. Life isn’t complete without? Purpose. Community. Food. The great outdoors. Ice cream.

M. Marriage date? No, we don't go on dates; we're married. Oh, when did we get married? June 21 (the longest day . . . insert joke here) of 1997.

N. Number of brothers & sisters? 1 older brother.

O. Oranges or apples? Apples – they equal fall.

P. Phobias? Uh . . . pregnancy? Ice cream shortage? Four more years? Losing health insurance.

Q. Quotes? “Assemble in your imagination all the friends that you enjoy being with most, the companions that evoke the deepest joy, your most stimulating relationships, the most delightful of shared experiences, the people with whom you feel completely alive—that is a hint of heaven.” —Eugene Peterson, A Long Obedience in the Same Direction

R. Reasons to smile? My daughter’s smile. My husband’s laugh. Hints of heaven. Ice cream in the freezer.

S. Season of choice? Fall (aka football season).

T. Tag seven peeps! (see below)

U. Unknown fact about me? In first grade I wrote stories about two guys named “Something and Nothing” which were apparently ripped off for Dumb and Dumber, except mine were funnier.

V. Vegetable? Corn on the cob fresh from the garden, or really anything fresh from the garden.

W. Worst habits? Potty mouth, wasting time on the Internet, procrastination, staying up too late.

X. X-ray or ultrasound? Uh, who wants either?

Y. Your favorite food? Ice cream.

Z. Zodiac sign? Leo, not that I understand what that constellation has to do with my 1/12th of the population. But I do like lions.

I’m tagging:

RMM, Cat, Amy, Gretchen, Ren, Jenny, Carrie, and anyone else (mama or not!) who wants to join the fun. Get on it, you SAHMBOSSes!
