My Corgi Licked My Brain

Previously published, but still true...

OK, maybe Jon Farleigh only managed to get the back of my eyeball (when I accidentally sucked his tongue up my nose, as he and Dewi tried to lick my face off!). Nevertheless, that's what I get for lying flat on my back to get these pictures of me for the "Meet the Bloggers" hop sweeping through pet blog-land this week (2013). 


OK, if I was truly, fully participating in the blog hop, I'd answer a handful of set questions about myself--like what's my favorite book, movie, food, actor, extracurricular activities, and whether or not I'm happy with the way I turned out in life (or something like that). But, I'm only half-participating, so I'm just gonna answer these three questions that I made up by myself:

1. If you had to transform into a fruit or vegetable, what would you choose to be?
A strawberry, because they wear their seeds on the outside. 

2. If you could choose one other breed of animal to have as a pet (hypothetically, of course), what would it be?
A cow, and I would call her Sugar Plum, milk her and churn my own butter.

3. What is the most embarrassing thing you've ever done?
In July of the summer between 4th and 5th grade, I laughed so hard I peed my pants sitting in a restaurant booth with my three younger* siblings. Specifically, on a family vacation in rural Pennsylvania, having lunch in a Friendly's restaurant full of older couples eating in complete, dreadful silence. Yeah, silence, until someone (not to be named) farted like a trumpet off a vinyl booth seat and I laughed so hard I slid under the table, cried in silent, side-splitting agony, and undammed a warm, yellow river all over myself. But the worst** was having to do the shimmy of shame (my brother playing wingman behind me with a strategically placed tray) to get out the front door. Damn vinyl seats. 

Anything else you all want to know? 

* I was 10 and was the oldest (and presumably, most mature) one at the table. Let that sink in a minute. (The 70's were the BEST, if you were a kid, y'all!)

** Actually, the worst might have been having to change into an outfit that was not a handmade, matching set to my two younger sisters'. (Think The Sound of Music, VonTrapp family matching outfits, except not made from expensive drapes, but inexpensive, terry cloth beach towels.)

  2. LOL! Leave it to you to come up with a unique way of doing meet the blogger! That collage was great! Love how your brain thinks (or doesn't ;-) )

  3. Love your twist on Meet the Blogger! And your advice for taking good selfies is spot-on - everything's gotta fall back into place! :0) You look lovely!

  4. Well, at least you didn't shart yourself! That must have been a loud fart!

    1. Well, considering the place was silent, except for some loud chewing, yes, it was. :) Also, for the record, shart stories are only funny when they happen in movies!

  7. Dang. I wish I thought of that for my pic. But I'm not sure the pain of having 4 dogs and a cat or two mobbing me would be worth it.Thanks for joining in the Blog Hop!

    1. It was totally worth it, Dawn. Just remember, if you try it next time, to close your mouth and eyes, hold your breath and resist the urge to scream/laugh at the dogs invading your personal space. Because gasping will suck the tongue up your nose and into your eye socket. ;-)

      Thanks for stopping by!

  8. Thanks for stopping by and leaving your calling cards, everyone! I read every one of *your* posts before I wrote this (lurker = me); that's why I decided to give myself a gravity face lift. :) I'm more comfortable blending into the dogs' shadows.

  9. Oh my god, I laughed so hard I almost peed a warm yellow river in my pants. Thank you for the laugh, for being so honest, for coming up with your own amazing questions and lastly (but not leastly) for joining the blog hop!

  10. I met you at BlogPaws. You don't smell like you live under a bridge. You didn't smell like you wet yourself, either. Glad you've gotten that behind you. ;)

  11. You're so funny. I bet your friends love hanging out with you. Nice to learn some more about you.

  12. Holy crap. Only you would think to take your selfie from the floor with the dogs getting in the way. I adore you.

    Next year, maybe we should let you write the questions. I would love to see what sort of things we'd find out about everyone then!

    Thanks for half-joining. ;)

  13. OMD, this is too funny!! You're so lucky, instead of helping me hide my shame with a tray MY brother would have jumped on the table & screamed "look! my sister peed herself"
    Love & biscuits,

    1. Thanks, Cathy! And you make a great point about brothers...;-), I guess I was lucky that my younger one (older one=another story) and I got along really well!

  15. Okay... I know I already commented on this before... and you might cringe when I tell you this, but.... when I saw the preview for this come up in my phone, with the pic only being thumbnail size, that first photo in the upper left corner... it kinda looks like... um, well, something other than a hand. lol Are you seeing what I'm seeing?? (Maybe my mind was just in the gutter that day though...) Sorry! :)

    1. OMG, Jackie, NO! I am not seeing! You must've written a book about a purple thong or something! Where is your mind??? Really?!? (Kidding! But I am not seeing it. I can't even go there, so I'm not looking!) ☺☺☺

      Delete
    2. hahaha. I'm glad you're not seeing it. I don't see it on my PC or iPad - only on the thumbnail that came via email on my phone. So it's probably just me and my twisted mind. :)
