Presenting Monday Madness

This morning I'm happy to be linking up to a brand new meme, Monday Madness. MM is the result of a partnership between Bud and Mimi. It's an easy 10 questions per week and they promise not to ask yes/no questions or silly questions like what are you wearing. So, here we go...

1. You are at a party in a very bad mood. There is an obnoxious guest with a camera snapping pictures of everyone in sight. Do you allow the photographs or ask them to stop?  It would depend on how obnoxious they were and how bad my mood was. I can usually ignore things like that so both things would have to be really bad for me to say something.

2. You are on your way to a formal affair and running late. You are the guest speaker at this event and everyone is waiting for you. A police officer pulls you over for speeding. Do you make up a wild excuse or truthfully tell him where you are going and try to talk your way out of the citation? Tell us your tall tale!  I would apologize for my reckless driving and admit the truth. Past experience tells me that would get me done and on my way again much sooner...and sometimes it puts the officer in a good enough mood to let you go with a warning.

3. When you drive down memory lane for the last two years of your life and look in the rear-view mirror, do you see a happy journey or a bumpy ride?  The last 2 years? It was mainly a happy journey...at least until March when the whole world got turned upside down.

4. Who makes you laugh when no one else can?  My grandchildren. They can pull me right out of the foulest of moods and as they get older their personalities are emerging. They are gifted comedians at times.

5. What are your superpowers?  Just call me Captain Procrastination!

6. What is the last thing you memorized?  My new Wi-Fi password.

7. Tell us something you once took that you wish you could give back?  All the years of controlling and criticizing I took from my adopted dad. It took a long time to overcome the mess in my head from it.

8. The iPhone just gave birth to the next generation of phones. What would you name them?   How about the idon't-really-need-a-new-phone-but-Apple-says-I-do?

9. How much mystery should be in a relationship? Is it a good thing or not?  I think there should be a little mystery just to keep things interesting, but not too much or you risk trust issues. I do have to say that after 36 years of marriage there isn't a lot of mystery left.

10. What is your weekend blogging routine?  Until recently, I posted Saturday 9 on Friday night and then did my visiting and commenting Saturday morning. Saturday night I would post Sunday Stealing and then visit on Sunday morning. I just recently decided to give up Sunday Stealing to give myself a day off...and also because the questions were often weird, dumb or repetitive.
