A Day Too Late

I know it's not Monday, it is actally Tuesday.........night. But, I wanted to partake in Missy's Monday Memme. Check out Missy's Big Fish Stories. She's an excellent writer and a wonderful woman!

1). WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
That's a tough one.......let's seee.....my "pen" name is chosen by myself in memory of my favorite aunt. The Z part is my grandmother's maiden name. My given name? It is Italian, not named after anyone, but now there are a zillion of us in my family. Kinda like when I attend family reunions, which are either funerals or weddings and someone yells: Tony or Joe and about 80% of the males attending answer. Yeah, that is now me.......my name......the generic female name in my family. Only thing is I was the first! He!

2). WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?
Oh, about 10 minutes ago and decided it would be more productive to write as opposed to cry.

3). DO YOU LIKE YOU HANDWRITING?
Yeah, it's fine, but some may disagree.....somewhat big and foo-foo.

4). WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
Turkey.

5). DO YOU HAVE KIDS?
Yes, two boys....or supposedly 2 young men....supposedly.

6).IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?
Yes, at least I'm loyal and pretty honest.

7). DO YOU USE SARCASM?
In the older days I would have answered that question with: Is the Pope Polish? But, that no longer applies. I think sarcasm helps me greatly to get through each day. So, yes.....I partake in sarcasm, regularly.

8). DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?
Yes

9). WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
Oh, HELL no! I have a terrible fear of heights! NO WAY JOSE`!

11). DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?
No, don't really own shoes with laces.

12). DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
Yes, and getting stronger everyday! Thank you God for giving me back me!

Their eyes and if they look me in my eyes and their body language.

Most definitely RED! My favorite color.

16). WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
My stubborness.

17). WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?
My Aunt. I really miss our 3 hour telephone conversations. She was even more talkative and long-winded than I. Perhaps, a cultural thing? Maybe.

18).DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU?
That is kinda their choice.

19). WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?

22). IF YOU WERE A CRAYON WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
Red.

23). FAVORITE SMELLS?
Rain, lavender,the smell of freshly baked bread, coffee and the wierd one? Garlic and sauteed peppers. It's comforting. I would have to throw Spaghetti sauce simmering away in the mix as well. Childhoold comfort smells.

Sweetie.

25). DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT YOU THIS?
Well, she really didn't send it to me, but yes, I like her a lot. She's a great person!

26). FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?
UGH!!!!!! I am a basketball widow, damn it! So none! Ok....that would be a lie. I acually like watching sports, I do. I just can get sick of them, quickly! I like basketball because we have a pro team and, well, it is exciting. Pro men AND women. I do like football and have watched a few pre-season games thus far. I am a Raider's fan (used to live in the East Bay) and Sweetie is a 49er fan (born in SF) . We had fun watching the pre-season game between the two. Too bad the Raider's lost and I had to hear Sweetie gloat all night. I proably will take more of an interest in baseball as the season ends. I did get to watch Barry Bonds beat the record.

Dark Brown some say black...........it's dark brown.

Sometimes

30). FAVORITE FOOD?
Anything from the sea, water.

31). SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
Happy endings

I almost answered that incorrectly. I forgot. I just watched the ultimate in ChickFlicks........"Fried Green Tomatoes." I do really like/love that movie. Great story and characters.

33). WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?
Pink

34). SUMMER OR WINTER?
Winter. I am probably the only living creature alive other than the nocturnal that loves when it gets darker earlier (hey, my kids come home earlier) and there is something nice and cozy warm simmering on my stove and I can sleep so comfortably under my down blanket! Yes, I am getting Fall fever.

35). HUGS OR KISSES?
Both, but probably a hug seeing it is more acceptable and easier to accomplish. In reality? Depending on who the recipient is.

36). FAVORITE DESSERT?
I hate to say it but I really don't eat sweets. If I do, it is a three-way tie between: Carrot Cake, Flan and Cheesecake. And, not neccessarily in that order.

37). MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND?
I don't own a crystal ball. It will be the element of surprise!
