Eucharist, Memes and Marshmallow Iced Coffee

 

I was lucky yesterday.  Lucky indeed.  I managed to not only snag a ride home but I snagged a ride to church as well for the training class.  Yay me.  2 people from the class asked me if I wanted a ride home but I declined and took a taxi.  I know, I know…I just felt weird accepting a ride home from someone I don’t really know well and I knew that it would be out of the way for them.

Training went well.  John and Leona from the RCIA class were there.  I like John and his wife.  They are the couple I mentioned who have been married for 43 years.  But goodness, he goes on and on and on and is the single most unconfident person I’ve ever meant.  All this meant the class was 45 minutes longer than it would have been had he not been there.  John and his stories and needing to be reassured a zillion times that he wasn’t going to get thrown out of the church if he made a mistake made that 45 minutes extra.  Oh and the asking over and over again of the same question and the need for the instructors to repeat themselves constantly because he’s a little hard of hearing but refuses to wear an aid.  Gah.  I get an A for patience last night, as do all the other attendees and the instructors.

But that is done and you, my friends, are now looking at a Eucharistic Minister.  HA!  Me?!?!  Can you even imagine?  I can’t.  I never thought I’d be sitting here typing those words about myself I tell you.  *feels proud and puffs out chest*

I’m really excited and I can hardly wait to get on the schedule.  I’ve already mailed my application and scheduling requests in.

 

 

Juju said she wanted all her favorites to do this.  That is my excuse and I am sticking to it.

 1. What time did you get up this morning? 6:45 am
2. Diamonds or pearls?  Prince says I can have both…diamonds and purhurhurhurlssss….okay diamonds.  Because diamonds are super strong.  Pearls are fragile and I long since tired of feeling fragile.

3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?  Oh goodness, uhm, uhm, HA!  It’s been so long I honestly can’t remember.

4. What is your favorite TV show?  ER & The Gilmore Girls.  Honestly, it’s a dead heat between the two.
 
5. What did you have for breakfast?  An onion bagel with chive cream cheese and a marshmallow flavored iced coffee from D&D.  Which I am still drinking in spite of the taste.  Which makes me want to vomit.  I don’t recommend this and this will be my last forray into the new flavors of iced coffee D&D is now offering.  See what I get for being adventurous this morning?
 
6. What is your middle name?  Lee

10. What is your favorite CD at the moment?   Blast if it isn’t still More Than You Think You Are by matchbox twenty.  Don’t get me wrong, I adore Something To Be, but I just have to say that MTYTYA, in my opinion, is the single best CD ever to be recorded. 
 
11. What kind of car do you drive? 2004 Saturn L300

18. Where would you retire to?  I’d love nothing better than to retire somewhere right outside of Acadia National Park, 
Bar Harbor, Maine.  *sigh*

26. Coke or Pepsi?  *wails* It used to be Coke but I had to give up my cock habit because it was giving me heartburn.  (Yes, I see the typo, I’m leaving it because it made me howl with laughter.)

 27. Are you a morning person or night owl?  I used to be a night owl, now I am lucky to stay up until 11:00 PM.  But I’m up at the crack of dawn now.
 
28. What is your shoe size? In good shoes I wear a size 7 1/2.  But in cheap shoes I can go all the way to an 8 1/2.

30. Any exciting news you’d like to share with your family and friends? Hey!  I’m a eucharistic minister!

 
Ibis’ meme.  She threatened me with bodily harm if I didn’t do it.  No, she didn’t.  But she did want me to do it and is patiently showering waiting for my answers.
 
1.  Name 5 things from Europe that you want to put into your mouth.
 
Well, right now I believe Rob Thomas is in Europe doing his tour, so I will say him.  *gasp* Oh…did I say that?  His lips, folks, his lips.  The rest of him belongs in his wife’s mouth.  *stares at you*
 
I’dlike to attend a real english tea and place some, scones, earl grey, clotted cream and preserves in there.
 
Nothing else thanks…I don’t have a sophisticated palate I told you earlier.  Weren’t you listening?

2.  What is the most radical thing you’ve ever done to your appearance?

I once had a long hot pink tail.  Remember those?  Short all around except these long strands of hair down the middle of your back?  Well, I died mine hot pink in High School.  Gawd, I was stylin’.

2b.  How long did you keep that look going?

Throughout my junior year I believe.

3.  What historical figure would you like to sleep with?

Elvis?

4.  What literary character would you like to have mow your lawn (or, if you don’t have a lawn, paint your walls or scrub your bathroom)?

Shakespeare.  He seemed to me to be quite snooty…so we’d need to take him down a peg or two and what a perfect way to do so.  I’d have him on poop patrol.  HA!

5.  Name 5 of your favorite grooming potions.

Oil of Olay … Ole!, John Freida’s Frizz Control, Burt’s Bee’s Toner, Tutti Dolce Angel Food Cake body wash/sugar scrub and lotion.  Wanna lick me?  You should…I smell yummy!

6.  If someone gave you ten pounds of red ripe tomatoes, what would you do with them?  (You can’t give them away.)

I’d let them get really ripe and then I’d toss them at oncoming cars and then run like the dickens!  (I met one of my boyfriends this way, except substitute tomato for egg.) 

No, really, I’d probably smush them and make sauce.  Then I’d give sauce to the neighborhood because really, who wants that much sauce?

7.  What’s the best legume?

I don’t know…not a big bean eater.  Pinto go in baked beans?  If so, then those.

7b.  Why?

Oh, Ibis, I have no idea.  I don’t like frikken beans.

8.  If you were ever found out, would it most likely lead to embarrassment, expulsion, rehab, divorce or a prison sentence?

Embarrassment.

9.  Rivers Cuomo?

Huh? 

10.  How angry did it make you to have to think so hard about legumes for a minute?

Really angry.  I was so mad I threw a hissy fit complete with screaming and biting myself.

11.  How did your first romantic entanglement come to an end?

I never loved him.  I was just lonely and he loved me.  So to get out of the relationship I introduced him to my friend and made it clear they should be together.  *LOL*  They got married.  He never got over me and so they divorced.  Ooops.

12.  Name 3 things you enjoy snacking on while you are online.

I don’t snack while I am online.  Really.

13.  How did you find out about sex?

The rough way.

14.  What are you saving up to buy right now?

A house.

15.  What is your favorite way to be non-sexually touched?

I like having my hair played with.
