Fun Monday #13

So despite being on the early end of the Fun Monday crowd, I'm sure I'm one of the last to actually post. Excuses, excuses. I was busy doing my glucose tolerance test at the new CUH Maternity Hospital to see if I'm developing gestational diabetes. It was loads of fun, trust me. Who doesn't love drinking practically a litre of room-temp Lucozade? Gag, gag, gag. Anyway. . ..

This week Fun Monday is hosted by Ice Cream Mama Bethany!! She has chosen to use the 10 questions posed by James Lipton to each guest on Inside the Actors Studio:

What is your favorite word?
"Excellent". Not because it's my favorite (I wish it were more intelligent), but because I use it ALL THE TIME.

What is your least favorite word?
Definitely the "p" word. A yucky, yucky derogatory-to-women, wash-your-mouth-out-with-clorox kind of word.
And, at times, "no" ranks up there.

What turns you on (creatively, spiritually or emotionally)?
music, smells, warm sunshine

What turns you off?
B.O., eggs, or other bad smells; annoying people who drive while talking on their cell phones and put everyones' lives in danger because they are not paying attention; rudeness

What is your favorite curse word?
gobshite, s***, all versions of the f-word (lots of the f-word) (so I'm using a lot of profanity lately-so sue me!--it's a stressful time)

What sound or noise do you love?
birds in the morning when I am waking up; my husband's voice; baby's heartbeat, the staccato of Blanco's prancey walk on the flooring; Tex's yodeling wookie noises

What sound or noise do you hate?
the T.V. too loud; whistling (yes, I know this makes me weird, but it drives me nutso); when people YELL when they are talking to you even when there's no reason to yell; most loud noises in general; oh, yeah, and the dog that lives behind our house in Pearland who NEVER STOPS BARKING (gee, I'm thrilled to be moving back knowing he still lives there. . .)

What profession, other than your own, would you like to attempt?
nutritionist; I would also like to know a lot more about aromatherapy

What profession would you not like to attempt?
garbage woman; anything high-profile/high-stress

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
um, Heaven DOES exist, and whatever God says is great with me as long as I am there with Him!!! (Okay, well maybe: "You didn't screw up too bad down there" would be nice to hear)

There you have it! What a nice Fun Monday topic! Thanks, Ice Cream Mama!!!
Stiggs, I'm tagging you to do this on your blog, by the way.

Love your favorite word list, and anyone who's ever been 'with child' certainly understands. I'm not 'with child' and those words flow freely from my mouth.

Hey Sabrina, loads of detail, it took me a while to work out the P word but I think I got it.

That Chick Over There said...

Good stuff!

Dear sabrina. I still haven't posted mine! And I'm two hours ahead of you, methinks - well, two hours ahead of London at least. Oh no! I'm a semi whistler. I can't sing so I always either whistle or hum along to my favourite songs...

ChrisB said...

Now because I'm thick and don't really swear I'm not sure if I've worked out the 'p' word (is the second letter 'r') Beccy you will have educate your mother next time we speak!

The very nice man said...

Nice list! Yes, why exactly do people yell all the time??!??
I hate that!!

Wow, my favorite word and your least favorite are the same! What are the odds? Seriously though, I feel a little picked on with the insult to whistling and thus those who whistle!

Sabrina...I **heart** a Jesus Freak who uses the f-bomb. I'm not proud...and it's not my favorite...and it's only used around very limited human beings...but, use it, I do. Is that what makes us Jesus freaks???

If you hate "p", you've GOT to hate "c", too...just as derogatory to women!

Giggles that smells can turn you off AND on :).

And I think it's cute when your dh comments....

Sabrina said...

Swampy: glad to know I'm not alone
Beccy: the word is not used over here according to my DH (he's getting good at Irish cussing on his football team), so sorry for the confusion
TCOT: I'll stop by to visit soon!
LMM: I must be jealous of whistlers since I cannot whistle and that's where my dislike of the whistling comes from. . .
ChrisB: sorry for being vague--it's just such a bad word!!
TVNM: STOP YELLING, PEOPLE!!!!!
DH: Babe, you should totally comment more often. You are funny. Actually, you should go back to writing your own blog again. People liked yours better then mine anyway. . .
Robin: I hate to admit to the cussing, and while it would have been really easy to omit my potty mouth, I'm going the "brutal honesty" route. Yeah, the "c" word is right up there. I feel like I need to brush my teeth even thinking either word--yuck! Oh, and I'm a smell weirdo. Seriously, I need medication.

Rachel (Crazy-Is) said...

I don't like loud noises in general either. Not really good for someone with 3 kids, I guess, lol.

You didn't list giant scabs on your list. That surprises me.

Molly said...

Hmm...I am naive. I am thinking of two p-words, but I am rather sure that the word is not another word for urinate. I thinking that you are not talking about a "procurer." But the word must be awful to have to wash your mouth out with clorox.

I'll get right on making my list!!!
