Random Questions and a Confession (gulp)

Aimee asked,
“I want to know how much the BREAST augmentation is going to cost….seriously!”

Aimee, I have heard between $6,000 and $7,000…and if we decide to do it, it will be a 15th anniversary gift to us both, if you get my meaning….. (wink, wink)

Suzy asked,
“Do you have a favorite Anne Taintor? Mine is, “She had yet to decide whether to use her powers for good or evil.”

Suzy, I have two. I love “if by “happy” you mean trapped with no means of escape…? then yes, I’m happy”, because it’s so not me, and “She thought of herself as a work in progress” because it’s so me.

Darcie@ Such the Spot asked,
“Queen B did a post once when she admitted to looking like Liza Minelli. So I want to know, Ms. Anonymity, which celebrity would play you in a movie?”

I had to defer to Spin on this one and he thought Julia Roberts. Not that I’m ever quick to correct his thinking or anything, but I think Elizabeth Shue or ……..

Lisa B. At Simply His asked,
“Beach or mountains? Coke or Pepsi? City or country?”

I cannot answer these questions in a cut and dry manner, Lisa. I’m sorry. I guess I’m just too high-maintenance.

I’d LOVE the beach if there was no sand or salt water. I’m more of a pool right on the ocean girl. With a pool boy, please, to bring me drinks.

The mountains are pretty to look at, and I love easy green ski-runs in Colorado, but for the most part, I’m kind of an indoor girl.

Diet Coke. And now that I’ve told you, I expect to never hear the P-word from you ever, ever again. Under any circumstance. Ever. I don’t drink swill.

Country – as long as it has quick access to the city. I’m a city girl at heart for the amenities….. but the introvert in me would love to live somewhere “remote”, as long as there are no farm chores of any kind….

Melanie @ One La Costa Mom asked,
“You are a fellow MAC user, so which shadow colors are your favorites?”

I am in LOVE with the Reconstructive Paint Pot. On top of that I use, Mystery and Era. Can’t live without Lingering eye brow pencil, Stubborn Brown eyeliner and Zoom Lash mascara.

Gah – I love MAC. LOVE IT. Makes me happy.

Beachy Mimi asked,
“How about a list of your favorite things? Maybe some random things that you normally wouldn’t think of.”

I think I have emptied my head of every possible favorite thing onto my 100 Things list or in the context of posting. I think. But I will try:

• St. Jean’s Gewurstraminer
• Books
• Watching reality TV with hubby
• Wearing a bikini in Mexico
• California Club sandwich at Jason’s Deli – mmmm, my mouth is watering!
• Peppermint Mocha (no fat/ no whip) from Starbucks.
• The color brown
• PURSES
• Harmony –singing in the car and making up my own parts
• Range Rover Discoverys – I want one!!
• Anything written and performed by John Mayer
• Diet Coke over chipped ice in a styrofoam cup (original, I know)
• Flavored martinis
• Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and Peanut Butter M&Ms
• Bit-o-Honey’s

Marcy @ The Glamorous Life asked,
How about a confessional? Tell us something you have always thought you would NEVER tell us……Or how about a little story about who you thought you would be….and who you turned out to be…..because it is never to late to be what you thought you would become!……….

Straight Shooter asked,
I am a fairly new reader so I don’t have a particular question as of yet. I am however always game for some venting/purging/confessing of pretty much any subject so if you have any beans to spill in a semi kinda safe way….please spill away. We’re all ears.

Confessions.

I’ve never been to IKEA……. I’ve never eaten sushi………. I hate spicy food……

Hm? Not what you had in mind…. Oh all right. I’ll answer the next question with a confession.

Lisa @ Take 90 West asked,
Maybe you’ve said this before and I missed it, but you keep talking about selling your house, so where are you going and why, if you can say?

The “political” answer is to get into a different school district – although it doesn’t really matter until the 2009-2010 school year.

The more “pressing” answer is two-fold. The first reason is here (which I feel like I keep mentioning, but the issue is in my face, like every single friggin’ day – including today when we were all at the neighborhood pool at the same time. It kills me to put on a fake front. KILLS. ME.)

The second reason I want to move is in this little “confession”.

My neighbor is Eddie Haskell.

And he’s got two little brothers I call Teddy and Freddy.

Also as in….. Haskell.

In the presence of adults, it’s all, “Gee, Mrs. R. You look lovely today. Gee, Mr. R., your lawn looks just terrific.”

Would I lie to you, dear reader???

When it’s just the kids though, I get horrible reports of how my son is treated by those boys – particularly Eddie.

And I’ve got my kid’s dental bills to prove it……

I hate having to say that – because “Mrs. Haskell” is a lovely and dear friend of mine. But her many children translates into much unsupervised time.

I will say that when there are issues, she is quick to hold her kids accountable – but there are some unfortunate boundary issues that are just part of the package.

And I can’t really go traipsing over there every day with a complaint, now can I?

Plus, I really want a pool, and I don’t feel like I can put one in here without it becoming a “neighborhood pool”. Not that it matters anymore, because we do need to get into a different school district… so putting one in now is pointless.

“Oh, Lord. Please don’t ever, ever let Mrs. Haskell find out about my blog….. Thank you, in advance, Lord.”
