Three Adjectives to describe your blog?
Once Upon Your Prime 
Can you tolerate gluten and lactose? What about nut allergies? Yes, I can tolerate gluten and lactose with the best of them. While I do not have nut allergies-thank goodness-I have trouble accepting others’ nut allergies. Because I love to bake peanut butter cookies and other such treats for people I like. Those pesky nut allergies are such a buzzkill for my baking
endeavors.
Where do you call home? Currently Westminster Colorado. But if home is truly where the heart is, it’d have to be wherever my Hubs of 27 years is. Both our hearts though are firmly planted in Minnesota, where we were both raised and met each other.
Hard floors or carpet?: I love hardwood floors, not the stupid looking pergo fake crap though. Carpet is nice, but in small doses. Like in a bedroom. Growing up, my mother insisted on having the bathroom floor carpeted. Gross, right?!
What’s your main goal for Blogging?: Well, I cannot pick merely one. I’m usually a very good rule follower, but not this time, lady. Goal (s): To improve my creative writing skills to the point where someone actually pays me money to do it. To engage with the blogging community, making a positive impact on others while making them laugh. To make lifelong friends.
Favorite comic? (not the books you may have read as a kid. A person who makes you laugh standing up at a microphone or on television if you can’t stand smokey clubs!): This is a really tough one. And I’m 99.9% certain the moment I post this I will come up with a better answer. It’s probably a toss up between Steve Martin and the late Robin Williams.

Favorite slang expression? (“Like whatever” it is, “no worries” about posting it here!
“Just keeping it real”
Something You don’t want me or anyone else to know about you. (Yeah, don’t think about this question for too long.)
That I may have passed gas during my last massage. It was silent and I’m presuming not deadly…but my head is on the opposite side of my ass, unlike where my poor massage therapist was situated. That may or may not be why I gave her an extra good tip 🙂
How many hours of sleep do you currently get at night?: An average of 9. Try not to be jealous. I have been blessed with the unique talent of being a most excellent sleeper.
Leave the name (or link) of your favorite blogger: I think it’s got to be Elly Lonon at BugginWord. She plays a fierce ukelele every Friday. Check her out!
Where were you when 911 occurred?: Hubs, our two spawn and I had just moved to Wisconsin and were temporarily staying in a hotel while searching for a home to buy. I had just dropped off the spawn at school and was driving back to the hotel when I heard it on the radio. Hubs took the afternoon off and we spent a couple hours at the nearby Applebee’s commiserating with other Americans at the bar. An unbelievable horrific day.
What was your most creative/innovative Halloween costume?: Hubs and I went as Walter White and Jesse from Breaking Bad last year. He made a very good Heisenberg and I like to think I was unrecognizable as Jesse. Hubs even made fake meth using sugar and blue food coloring, which I carried in a baggie.

Where were you when 911 occurred?
True story: I was in management in a small software development company. We were in a meeting when somebody poked their head in the conference room door and said we should turn on the TV. This was just in time to see the second tower get hit. One of our biggest clients was Cantor Fitzgerald, who got wiped out that day. I got laid-off the following Friday.
What was your most creative/innovative Halloween costume?
The Klansman robe from “Blazing Saddles” with the Happy Face on the back.

Hey “other Stephanie”…. you’ve got such great energy and you’re so much fun! Absolutely you can put this on your blog.

The most exciting day was when they accepted my writing. You can google my name (Stephanie D.

Thank YOU! In this great big world we live in, it’s funny how you cross many paths, never knowing why, until maybe a later date. I’m fortunate enough to have this blessing to blog. I’m a stay at home mom, and am very busy all the time, but I have made it my mission to do this for myself. I take time, almost daily, to peruse wordpress, and there are so many talented writers out there, but certain ones really resonate with me, and your site is one of them. I can’t wait to look you up on Scary Mommy, and Huffington Post (also a dream of mine)!! Thank you for always taking the time to respond, it means everything to me.

Hi, I snagged this questionnaire for my blog too. I hope you don’t mind – it really is a great idea. I did admit to everyone this is where I got it from and provided a link to your blog so they can come visit to read some of this amazing stuff you write…maybe they will follow you too. 😉 It is only fair that I fill these questions out for you (I already answered them on my page) hoping to prime the pump as it were and get people to start answering too. LOL
Here goes:
Gluten, lactose and nuts are all fine with me. My body isn’t sensitive to much of anything – probably thanks to my sturdy Scottish heritage. 😉
I call North Bay, Ontario Canada home now….I have lived in a few cities but this one has been my home for the last 12 1/2 years. It is where I live with my second (and final) husband. My two sons are grown and living in other cities.
I like the softness and warmth of carpets but they are a pain in the butt to have to vacuum all the time. Ugh, can’t I like both?
My main goal for blogging is to put my thoughts down in writing as often as I can, I am aiming for once a day, but haven’t been able to stick with that plan yet. This is kind of an online journal if you like where I prattle on about things that happen in my life with the hope that someone else out there in cyberspace can relate and comments back to me about what that post meant to them. Phew that was a long sentence! I will try not to do that too much. Promise. =)
My favorite comic is a tie really…there is Jeff Dunham the ventriloquist who has the most outrageous people in trunks. Seriously check his stuff out sometime…it is FUNNY. The other comic that just cracks me up is Gabriel Iglasias. I hope I spelled that right. I just watch him and don’t write his name that often. LOL He has the craziest routines and can do voices. The drive thru bit is what makes me laugh every time I hear it. Do yourself a favor and You Tube these guys…you are going to thank me. 😉 You’re welcome! =)
I haven’t done that many posts yet but this one is the one I am most proud of
https://susanmillard.wordpress.com/2016/01/03/reflections-as-i-start-the-new-year/
Favorite slang expression? No problemo.
Something I don’t want you or anyone else to know about me : I can’t seem to finish anything…I go great guns at the beginning of a project then peter out before it is done. *sigh* That makes me feel like such a loser. =( Since you can’t really FINISH a blog I should be all good for this. 😉
Currently I am logging about 5 or 6 hours a night. I read a book until 3 or 4 in the morning and am usually up around 10 a.m. Some days I actually sleep until 11:30 or noon but that is rare.
I haven’t read a lot of blogs yet (just getting into blogs myself) but if I had to pick a favorite I would have to say the blogger I got this questionnaire idea from. Once Upon Your Prime (The Home Of Little Miss Menopause) …ppsstt you’re here…hehehe.
When the whole 911 thing happened I was in my living room folding laundry with the tv on listening to the news of all things. I put the tv on to keep my mind occupied while I do a mindless task like folding clothes or doing dishes.
My most creative/innovative Halloween costume has to be my gypsy outfit I put together with clothes from the second hand store for cheap…it really worked – I got a lot of candy that year. I was 12 then and used my babysitting money.
Three adjectives that describe my blog are; heartfelt, honest, interesting.
Done! Did I do okay teach? Is there going to be a test LMAO =) This was a cool list of questions to think about and answer.

Hmmm… I’m going to go with Kevin Hart. The last time I watched a video of his I was crying because he was so funny.
6. Leave the link of the post your most proud of:
Well I feel as if I’m still new to this whole blogging thing. I post a lot of pictures and things I find interesting and funny, but I feel like this post may be the most influential thing I’ve shared. http://mgrace58.wordpress.com/2014/04/22/how-you-lose-her/
7. Favorite slang expression?
I say “cool beans” and “okie dokie” a lot.
8. How many hours of sleep do you currently get at night?
Meh, about 8 or 9… most nights. 😉
9. Leave the name (or link) of your favorite blogger:
Ha! Trick question. It’s you duh!!! Okay I love Chesi’s blog. She’s amazing and so much fun: http://thatmakeupish.wordpress.com/
10. Where were you when 911 occurred?
I was sitting in my middle school class room. I remember being confused because we were not allowed to go outside for recess that day.
11. What was your most creative/innovative Halloween costume?
I think I am going to go with the outfit I wore when I was 5 years old. I was a pot of honey, from Winnie The Pooh, and when I was asked why I wanted to be that I replied, “Because I’m sweeeeet!!!”
12. Three Adjectives to describe your blog?
um…hmm… lets go with stupendous, awesome, and exuberant.

You quirky female..thought to check you out(No, not that way!)
1. Can you tolerate gluten and lactose? What about nut allergies?
I tolerate everything. I’ve got like a super belly
2.Where do you call home?
Anywhere with sliced bread, a sofa, no rats, cockroaches and mosquitoes, warm weather, and good movies is paradise….and paradise is home.
3.Hard floors or carpet?
Hard floors, especially after cleaning and it’s really cool. You can hardly make out on carpets without friction.
4.What’s your main goal for Blogging?
Was a random decision actually borne out of innate randomness in my life.
5.Favorite comic? (not the books you may have read as a kid. A person who makes you laugh standing up at a microphone or on television if you can’t stand smokey clubs!)
I have to think about this, but Nigeria’s Basket Mouth does come to mind.

1. I can tolerate lactose; sadly as a child it was believed I was allergic to gluten, which made birthday parties (with the cookies, cupcakes, and cake) torturous. Thanks for reminding me! ☺
No nut allergies, but my father is deathly allergic to walnuts and other various nuts but not peanuts because, as I’m sure you know, they aren’t nuts, but legumes.
2. I usually call home when I’m near the telephone, but I’ve also been known to shout across the street.
3. Both, with lots of food stains and paint stains and other kinds of stains spread throughout. Want to visit?
4. To finely have an audience for my writing, and to become part of a supportive, nurturing, and honest circle of awesomely creative people (goal achieved!). And, to, you know, maybe one day get published (and make whole TENS of dollars writing!).
5. Kathy Griffin (LOVE her, although, in all honesty, ever since she started dating that 30-year-old her work has gone a bit downhill); Wyatt Cenac –so, so, so funny; John Oliver –love the accent, and the humor is killer; Tig Notaro –weird, quirky, hilarious, made cancer funny; lastly, Amy Schumer –a little on the vulgar side at times, but I think she’s still coming into her own.
6. ‘Bringing Sophie Home’ http://jmgajda.com/essays/bringing-sophie-home/
7. Cray cray (for crazy). As in, “OMG, did you see what Oprah said about Lilo? That girl is cray cray!” I blame my 11-year-old.
8. I’m still a little bit in love with one of my ex-boyfriends (don’t tell my husband!)
9. Clearly NOT enough (see #8)
10. Well, that would be unfair because there are several really amazing bloggers and I don’t want anyone to feel slighted (but I will say that one of my favorite bloggers likes heart-shaped sunglasses!)
11. Wow, ok, a serious question. I was at my then boyfriend’s house sleeping when the first plane hit. His mother called us to wake us up and tell us what was going on. At the time I lived near DC and as he was driving me home we felt a shudder go through everything, the car we were in, everything. It was the plane hitting the Pentagon. Some of the people in that plane were members of my Mom’s church. I just remember frantically trying to get ahold of friends and family in New York City. It was quite the day, to put it mildly.
12. None that I can describe in detail on a public site. Suffice to say, they were all in my early twenties, they were all self made, and they all began with the word ‘Naughty’ (but not so naughty that I wasn’t appropriately covered!).
13. Passionate, Intelligent (according to my husband), and Purple (one of my favorite colors!)

Okay, finally a better reply. You cracked me up with some of these answers. And your Halloween costumes all began with the word “Naughty?!” lol. I love that word. But it’s so funny because truly bad girls never say the word, “Naughty.” So are we talking French Maids here or ? From the sound of your answer to number three, I don’t think we’re talking any kind of maid! And yes, I wanna visit. We already established that much. I’ll have to check out some of your fave comics. I don’t know any except Kathy Griffin whom I also adore. So, do you feel you’re achieving your goals for having a blog? You’ve been here all of what now, three weeks? And the thing we’re not supposed to breathe a word to your husband about. Can you just be a little of it? Or is that like being a little pregnant or a little bit of a virgin? Anyhow, I think it’s quite common to feel that way, if you’re being serious that is – – especially if he’s from long ago like when your journals are from? And as far as your three adjectives are concerned, I would definitely agree with them, except instead of Purple (since that’s not something you’ve actually created. Or maybe it is – – did you invent purple? 😉 I would add the adjective Perceptive. I find your writing highly intuitive, almost like you’ve got a sixth sense for delving deeply into people and issues and pain.

Eh. Just for the heck of it…okay.
1) Can you tolerate gluten and lactose? What about nut allergies?
-No food allergies/stipulations I’m aware of, but I just don’t like nuts. Except cashews. They are God’s gift to us for having to deal with federal taxes.
2) Where do you call home?
Even when I’ve lived away from my parents, I still consider their house home. Well, my family in general = home.
3) Hard floors or carpet?
It’s scarier to vacuum hard floors. So I guess carpet.
4) What’s your main goal for Blogging?
To annoy everyone with needless facts about myself, my creativity, and blasting movies they thought were entertaining popcorn movies. …okay, not to annoy them. I really am trying to just express myself/be cathartic. But if they liked ‘Love Don’t Cost a Thing’, we just can’t be friends.
5) Favorite comic?
BATMAN
6) Leave the link of the post your most proud of:
So far, since I just started, I’m really enjoying the movie reviews since it’s something I’ve wanted to do for some months now as a new hobby. I’ve always been very fascinated/entertained by other online movie critics, so starting my own thing has been fun so far. Right now, I can’t pick one, so here’s a link to the page (I’ve done 5 so far) http://bkblack28.wordpress.com/category/movie-reviews/
7) Favorite slang expression?
Yo’ mama!
(I don’t actually mean someone’s mother when I say it. It’s my “screw you, this conversation is over because I lost! and I’m upset!” And i only use it around my family. Including my mother, who hates my guts.)
8) Something You don’t want me or anyone else to know about you. (Yeah, don’t think about this question for too long.)
One time I screwed up the lyrics to the National Anthem. In public. By myself. …as a junior in high school.
9) How many hours of sleep do you currently get at night?
What’s a sleep?
10) Leave the name (or link) of your favorite blogger:
So far it’s https://thequotegal.wordpress.com/ right now. Got some good laughs from the ‘Her’ parody.
11) Where were you when 911 occurred?
In middle school, annoyed that all of a sudden we couldn’t go outside for recess with no immediate explanation.
Then, 3 days later, someone smoked & caught the bathroom on fire, and everyone thought pre-911 things were going on, so when my mom came to the school to bring me something, a secretary went all paranoid & yelled at her to take me out of the school to safety.
12) What was your most creative/innovative Halloween costume?
Dressing up as a friend of mine in college. I borrowed a trombone, bought the hat he always wore, painted on facial hair, and wandered around talking about how awesome I was. My other friend dressed up as his GF, complete with freckles & a stuffed shirt. Good times.
13) Three Adjectives to describe your blog?

Okay so first of all, your answer to #2 is very touching for me. #3, I was just waiting (“sucking” in my breath) for you to make a vacuum reference from my HER parody, but alas, I suppose we need to move on to other material now, don’t we “partner?” Also, with regards to Fave Comic, I meant “Funny Person who stands up at a mic to make you laugh.” I am amazed how many people think I meant what you thought I meant – – therefore I am promptly re-wording that one. And #7, your mother doesn’t really “hate your guts?” Where’s your 😉 for that one?? I know because otherwise you wouldn’t call their home, your home. And I wouldn’t have been so touched. 😉 Lastly, thanks so very much for the compliment but #10 is for you to leave a link so I can go visit someone that you think is great and since I admire you, chances are I will also think they’re great too! But again, I’m flattered. And last but not least. Your blog is not . . . . Just. A. Blog. I almost want to slap you for that one. Almost.

* I am not allergic to nuts, which is great, since that means that I can hang out here.
When I was little, I discovered that I tolerate gluten and lactose and nuts just fine. They just didn’t tolerate me, and wanted to leave soon after they stopped by to visit my stomach.
* That was when I lived in New York City. When I go back, it is still home.
Home is also the remote, snowy area where I now live.
It’s not somewhere where I would normally call home, though. I would be the one who answered the phone.
* I blog (in a room with a padded floor, covered with carpet) to get thoughts out of my head, and to bounce them off the walls (not padded).
* I especially enjoy when my favorite comic stops by my blog: you, Stephanie.
* I am most proud of my latest post, each time I post.
* My favorite slang is the words that I come up with on a regular basis, like putting bread in a toasterizer, and sucking up broth with a squidgy.
* I don’t want you all to know what I call my husband.
* I get around 40 winks each night. I can’t find an online wink/hour converter.
* To get to know one of my favorite bloggers, click on the black bar at the top of this page, next to “Once Upon…” and make sure it says “Following”. Or, click in the box near the right end of the purple feather boa.
* If I was blogging on 9/11, what would I have written? I write about the absurdity of the fear that people feel. My husband and I went to the mall the next day. It was vacant, for the most part. We knew of the rumors, but focused on the slim chances of being hit.
* I never dressed up like an Arab, for Halloween or any play that I was part of. I most enjoyed dressing up as a gypsy as a kid, with full, ruffly skirts, peasant shirts (I must get me another one), and loads of cheap jewelry that clanked, unlike my blog.
* My blog is tailored (some say, too edited), thought-provoking, and formally conversational.
I really enjoy hanging out here. Stephanie puts a lot of belly laughs into my life, and makes me more inclined to say funny things. Thanks, Stephanie ❤

I take up your challenge! Sane or silly, you decide 😉
#1 Can you tolerate gluten and lactose? What about nut allergies?
Ans : I THRIVE on Snickers, have been doing so since I was kid; and till now I’m not aware of any symptoms. Except chronic addiction. To Snickers, of course. 😛
#2 Where do you call home?
Ans : Home is where I am surrounded with my family and friends! The place I establish connect with, where I’m in my element, is home to me. A place where I can, you know, “come home too”..?
#3 Hard floors or carpet?
Ans : Hard floors. Any time. Carpets, I feel, are way too messy. My room has lovely stone tiles.
#4 What’s your main goal for Blogging?
Ans : There is no goal or aim. I write (or type, depends) what I feel, and I share it. It’s just my way of putting my feelings into perceptible words.
#5 Favorite comic?
Screamin’ Archies all the way!
#6 Leave the link of the post your most proud of:
Ans : http://thegirlwhospeakstoherself.wordpress.com/2014/01/14/conflict/
Sentimental value. These words are straight from my heart.
#7 Favorite slang expression?
Ans : There’s this one particular expression in my mother tongue. It’s, “Oh, pinne!” I think the English equivalent would be this sarcastic, haughty, “Oh, really”; pronouncing it as “reeeeeeeeeeally”, with a drawl. Haha. 😛 But “Oh, pinne” you have to do with one eyebrow raised and one hand on your waist. (;
#6 Something you don’t want me or anyone else to know about you..
Ans : That I issued a library book two years ago and still haven’t returned it..? 😛
Or maybe that I’m from India..
#7 How many hours of sleep do you currently get at night?
Ans : THREE. This is what college assignments, exams, projects, competitions, debates and functions will do to you. And this is also why I pray daily that I’m granted thirty hours in a day. :c
# 8 Leave the name (or link) of your favorite blogger:
Ans : I guess that would be http://perpetualplothole.com
#9 Where were you when 911 occurred?
Ans : At home, in front of the T.V. I was too young to understand what was happening.
#10 What was your most creative/innovative Halloween costume?
Ans : Never celebrated Halloween. 😦

I tried responding earlier and wrote a really long response, but sometime when I was writing it my internet connection was lost and when I pressed send so was the response 😦 … so you get the short version! (Hurray!)
1. I CAN have any and all milk products. I don’t know what Gluten is, but assume it is related with bread. I can eat bread (like millions of others). Intolerance is one thing, choosing not to is kinda stupid. And no I don’t have any allergies, at least that I know of.
)
2. Any dark, quiet corner where I can be lost in my thoughts is home. It has to have internet though. It HAS to!
3. Hard floor. I need to stay grounded, I generate a lot of static as it is :|. I keep zapping people all the time, accidentally mostly 😛
4. Get people to smile, to think, to know more, to relax, I guess. Of course their kind feedback is a huge plus. Every follow I get puts a bit of pressure on me to write for THEM, but I intend to write for ME.
5. Superhero comics? Superman. TV comics? Key & Peele. Manga? Death Note. Stand-up comedians? Louis CK, Kevin Hart, Sarah Silverman, Russell Peters, a bunch of others (its unfortunate I haven’t seen enough stand up comedy..
6. I’m proud of my blog. Some posts are stupid, some are cool but they all came from my head. Which part of my brain do I like? Is it edible? I don’t know.. As for what others have tasted and liked: http://goo.gl/Gw6lPE
7. More of a catch phrase: “Screw you guys!, I’m going home” – Eric Cartman, South Park.
8. My bank credentials. (I know what you meant by the question, but I found a loophole! 😛 )
9. 7.5 hours. Sleep cycles are 1.5 hours long. So if you sleep in multiples of 1.5 you’re fine. You could sleep just 3 hours and you’d be fine. Or go for 9 hours. Don’t go for 8. 8 is bad.
10. Too many categories of bloggers. I’ll choose one not in the same category as you (just so you get to see more awesome blogs!): http://wp.me/2AboH
11. I was in 5th grade, in India. The news took some time to reach me, and even more time to understand the implications of it. That was the first time I knew of terrorism and the first time I absolutely hated something.
12. Sadly, I have NEVER celebrated Halloween. Costumes though, I’ve worn. As a kid I was “forced” to participate in a play. I was a native hunter wearing only a “dhoti” (sort of traditional Indian pants, I guess) and carried a bow and arrow. When I was pushed onto the stage, I just stood there and started crying. Then I went back… awk-ward… 😛
13. Random, Mindful (sometimes senseless), Wallpaper-y (if that is an adjective.. I just post a wallpaper with nearly every post and link it with the header image).

Well now let me see:
1. no to those allergies but have a real fun time with dark chocolate – instant migraine (no not just a bad headache but the barrel of monkey’s day stars and regurgitating everything I’ve eaten in the past 12 months) Blah.
2. Beautiful sunny Mackay Whitsunday’s – which our government in it’s infinite wisdom and understanding is trying enhance by dumping sludge into the Great Barrier reef right on our door step – so thoughtful don’t you think.
3. carpet but am lusting to rip it up and polish the boards – they don’t show stains the way carpet does.
4. having fun while learning lots at the same time – this pleasure was denied to me in school and at uni so I’ve decided to make up for it now – plus you know you can soapbox and rant and people can’t interrupt – handy that.
5. not a fan of the comic – not enough words to many pictures – I know most people like it the other way round but I’m weird that way. If I was forced to pick one at gunpoint I’m have to go with Priest which is more a graphic novel than comic but I figure that’d close enough to save my life.
6. ummmmmm I color code my pegs when hanging out the washing – weird huh if I use a blue one and a red one to hang up an item I end up going back and making it blue/blue or red/red.
7. OK there would be two – ‘sweet magnetic Jesus on a dashboard’ (mainly ’cause it makes people wince) and ‘that boy/girls gene pool is so shallow you’d crack your head if you dived on in’ (OK I can be a little snarky at times – I’m SURE people consider it part of my charm).
8. sleep – who has time for sleep.
9. already here
10. sitting on the couch reading as I couldn’t sleep and had the TV on with mute in the background – first thought it was a movie then well everyone knows what happened next – I don’t think I’ll ever forget that icy feeling in my stomach as I realized it was real.
11. eclectic, fun (for all the family) and at times deeply and reverently sarcastic.
