Time to play catch-up. Somehow, I overlooked playing Monday Madness this past week. So, this week will be a twofer – one today and the other mañana!
Last Monday's questions were all things birthday.
This week's questions are all about you! Nothing personal; just for fun...
1. On what day of the week were you born? A Tuesday, I believe. Seems my mother went to a cocktail party hosted by a congress critter or the Secretary of the Navy or some such and got herself thoroughly blotto. Her hubby was aboard a ship someplace; she was two and a half weeks overdue, it was 95 degrees, the air so thick you could split it with a machete with no end in sight. She ended her pregnancy in the arms of Admiral Rickover as she leaned over the railing on the rooftop of the Watergate Hotel barfing her pretty blonde head off... thusly, I appeared, rip roaringly pissed, long about 5:30 AM...
2. Do you look forward to birthdays? No.
3. How do you usually celebrate your birthday? Dinner with my wife and my brother,; sometimes we watch a new movie afterwards.
4. Do you like surprises? Not really. They usually involve something going very, very wrong...
5. Has anyone ever thrown you a surprise party? Horrors, no! That would be the death knell for that relationship.
6. How many family and friends' birthdays can you remember right off the top of your head? Three with absolute certainty, several others are “in the ballpark.”
7. Do you send cards to your family and friends on their birthday? E-cards. My wife gets flowers and a card, too. Birthdays are a BIG THING to her.
8. What kind of cake do you like? Two-layer yellow cake with a milk chocolate frosting.
9. What kind of ice cream goes best with it? Chocolate-chip cookie dough! Although, a classic French Vanilla with a snifter of brandy isn't bad, either.
10. When is your birthday? (You don't have to share the year with us if you answer this question.) I had to look at a calendar to answer this one – it's in a couple of weeks.
