Have you felt that life is like being on a roller coaster? 
As Ronan once sung..... Life is a Roller Coaster, Just Gotta Ride it.  I   See no real similarity between life and roller coasters.  I don't have to examine every single experience in life, six times before i embark upon an effort.  I don't feel sick to my stomach as I reach a crescendo, nor to I pee myself at each corner.

 
Favorite year so far? 

1
986, I met my husband.  The music was grand, it was the 80's, I was a student. Life couldn't get better, and was no where like any fairground ride. 
 
 
Do you consider yourself religious? 
Mmm, there is a point.  I say not. I don't believe in the "gods" to whom all religion is accredited. How can one religion be "the god", and another not be the god?   I think there is a greater power, probably tucked inside the mother ship.  Like Spock, Or Captain Picard.  Oh Yes. 

Have you ever been to Connecticut? 
I'm not from America, I'm not even sure where Conneticut is.  My son is at Uni in America - He is in North Carolina.  Is that near Connecticut?   Dearie me.  I've been to Coatbridge.  is that the same as Connecticut in terms of Scotland?  Coatbridge is quite scary.

Do you eat sushi?   
You know, I have once or twice, and there were bits that I really enjoyed, and bits that i didn't enjoy at all.   I liked the rice, and the sesame seeds, and the seaweed covers, but know what?  I wasn't that fussy about the fish.

Would you smoke pot providing there was no risk or driving involved?    Oh yes indeedy.  I'm very sad that Amsterdam has decided not to sell dope to tourists any more... because it's always been on my list of things to do, to go to Amsterdam and try some druggies.

What do you think of Idol Winner ......?? Again, I don't know who this is. Don't watch it, I think the Idol winner here... Oh no, we don't have Pop Idol, we have X-Factor....   And the X-Factor winner was mmmmmm let me think.  Little Mix, Little MInx?   Something like that. 4 little girlies.

Do you believe that animals have souls? Yes I do.  They have the souls of people who have passed on.... and stay around to keep you happy!  My dad is in a Buzzard!

Who did you last talk to? Share, if you dare.
My Husband and Daughter, my constant companions.

What is one thing that always annoys you?   Liars. 

Do you believe in a higher being?   You asked me that Already. Spock. 

Have you ever fallen in love with a neighbor?   No, but I had a neighbour in Edinburgh who developed a penchant for weeding, and gardening all the time, when he realised I had moved in. 

Any plans for this weekend?
The weekend is gone..... Next week is a whole new adventure.

Would you like to rule your country, if you could?  Yeah, but only in conjunction with other people.   Gareth Malone for starters, so that he could teach everyone to sing, and we would started every day with a song. 

Do you like watching films about the nature of animals?   Yes, indeedy.  I was watching bears and tigers cubs only last week. 

What's the difference between lust and/or lust? Lust and Love?  Lust and Lust....   No difference.... Lust and Lust.. I don't know.  Isn't it the same?   Lust and Love.  I love my husband, I lust after him.  But it's not quite the same thing.  

Do you have a soul?  
I do, and I am exceptionally fortunate that I have a good soul.  I want to make people happy, and be happy.

One best friend or many good friends? One very, very best friend.... my husband above.  I'm also blessed with being friends with my children and my mum and my aunty, and have good friends I went to school with, and worked with. 

Do you believe in spontaneous combustion? Shit yes!   It was my fear when I was little.  Between that, and  nuclear war, I actually believed that I might explode from combustion before a nuclear war.

Sunday Stealing, on a Monday Evening





Have you ever peed your pants as an adult?   Yes, I have.  I’ve had two children, I have asthma, weak pelvic floor, combined with severe coughing has caught me short a couple of times -  Not in need of Tena lady; I’ve been practising my pelvic floor exercises. 

Who do you have a celebrity crush on now? 
Celebrity crush.  There is a question.  If Gary Barlow was to sing to me, I would float away on a cloud.  If Gary Barlow was to sit down and talk to me, I’d run away.  I love his music, I could listen to him sing, but when he starts with that Brummie accent.  Dearie me. 

Would you date someone you met online?  
No I don’t think so.  My friend married someone she met on line, not for love, but for comfort.   Another friend went on several blind dates with men she met on dating sites, and to be honest, I’m surprised she kept on with it. 

Do you wear underwear always?  No I don’t.  Sometimes I quite like no panties.  NVP you know.  Bra – well the size of mine I need something to keep them under control.  
Do you hate yourself at times?  I hate myself right now.  I’ve not been feeling well, and I’m not coping with normality and shouting a bit. 
 
Do you like dirty movies? 
How dirty?  I’ve seen a few horrific ones, and see some which were laughable.  But none that have really set me thinking, “this is a genre I could really get into”. 

Could you believe Josha Ledet was voted off Idol?   I need to change this.  Not being State Side, I have to say  “Can I believe that someone was voted off “The Voice”, and I’d have to answer, Who?   I start watching these programmes, and then drift off into unconsciousness.  Boring. 

When was the last time that you bought a car?  Bought a car.  How about “got”.
Have you ever been camping? 
Camping??? I am married to a Boy Scout.  We live in a Tent.   Well, actually that is a big fat lie.  We don’t, but we do camp, and I adore it.  The cold, the hard floors, the rain on the canvas.  It’s all amazing. 

How many times a day do you go on facebook? 
As many times as I can get away with without being fired. 

What was the last movie you saw in a theater? 
Christ, I can’t remember….. Harry Potter, the last one? 

Have you ever worried that you'd cut off a limb? 
Yeah, the last time I was rock climbing in the Grand Canyon. I got stuck between a rock and a hard place, and thought after 4 days I was going to have to cut my hand off to escape, but then I woke up. 

Where did you get your last email from? 
Some competition website, I enter competitions til I get sick of typing…..

Favorite website? 
Blipfoto, second only to Sunday Stealing. 

Are you down with ghetto? 
Am so far down in the ghetto, I can’t find my way back.

Will the world end in fire or ice?
Ice, I think, but then the atmosphere will rebalance, and life will begin again. 

Do you believe in the afterlife? 
I do. I watched Colin Fry this afternoon, or was it John someone…. Who ever it was,  he insisted he was talking to spirits.  And they were all in the afterlife, and not in the drinks cabinet. 

Would you be upset if facebook stopped working?
Would I be upset?  I’d be distraught.  No actually, I think I would be fine. I wish someone would break it, and then I’d have more time to do my work. 

How did you start your blog? 
I used to have my own website.  www.mid-life-me.com,  and I  got bored, and came over here, and it gives me the opportunity to create and revise when ever I felt like it, and then I got bored again, and then I found Sunday Stealing…… and started up again.

Sometimes, It's Hard to be A woman.

I felt the urge to write tonight.

I haven't been feeling well for a couple of weeks.  It started with a cough, and developed into pain in my chest.  I got an emergency appointment and was prescribed anti-biotics.  I took the anti-biotics, and took a Friday afternoon off.   I went back to work on Monday, and felt okay. By Wednesday, I was coughing again, worse than before. 

I called the Doctor, and asked for another prescription.  He prescribed me different anti-biotics and I started them.  Friday morning- a week after my half day, I was back in bed again.    

I've been poopy all weekend, and now It's Monday, and I was in bed still.   I think I'll go back to work tomorrow, but I'm not right.    I have an appointment on Friday for the doctors, andn I've also got an appointment for the nurse, for my asthma check up, and a bloody smear.  Shit It's great to be a girl!
