answering the "what if's"

I have to say that I am mildly disappointed at the lack of response to my questions. However, out of love and respect to those of you who actually asked something, here are my attempts to answer...

Swirl Girl asked:

Why did the Howells bring all their money and jewels with them on a 3 hour cruise while Maryanne only got to bring that little red checkered belly shirt and her Daisy Dukes?

Well, my friend, as I see it, Maryanne didn't have any money left to bring after she got lipo, a breast lift, and a tummy tuck, therefore she had to bring what little clothes she had to show off her goodies. And the Howells, well, they still have their money...and their wrinkles.


Hot Tub Lizzy asked:

If your husband got a job as a New Kid, would you move to another city where it would be easier for the redhead to be pottytrained, or would you have another child who chewed gum forever?

You win HTL! This question has me completely stumped.


Dear, sweet Lula asked:

If Jason Statham showed up on your front porch, would you give him directions to my house?

Yes, but only after I'd made out with him...and smoked with him on my front porch where all my neighbors could see.

If I sent The Redhead protective headgear, would you let him wear it? Every day? Especially when you're talking to me?

Everyday. ESPECIALLY when we're talking (cause that's when he usually gets hurt).

If I found a good karaoke joint between me and you, would we meet up there and sing Pat Benatar?

Bring it.


Blogstalker got all deep with the question:

What if You had to choose between seeing or hearing....what would you choose? (losing your sight or hearing)

I still don't feel totally set with an answer, but I think I would rather lose my hearing and I'll tell you why. As sweet and special as words are to hear, I have always loved sign language and would love to be able to communicate through sign language. And I think I would rather see my kids and grandkids than be able to hear them speak (because we could do that through signing). Also, I love nature and to not be able to see things like blue sky, the mountains, waterfalls, etc. would just be so devastating. There would be difficulties either way, but I think I would choose to see first.


John Deere Mom asked some thought provoking questions:

What if you could only read one blog forever..what would it be?

Are you kidding me? What if I can't answer this question? Okay, it would probably be this one because its got a little bit of everything.

What if you knew you were going to have triplets next...would you still get pregnant?

Yes, and then I would go visit the Howells on Gilligan's Island and ask them for the money to get my lipo, breast lift, and tummy tuck...and to get Mr. Baseball's "bags unpacked" so there wouldn't be another "3 hour tour".

If you had to choose...would you lose your sight, hearing, or ability ot talk?

See my answer to Blogstalker's question above.


Tracy P. riddled me this:

What if you had to move to a new state in another region of the country? How would you feel about the new challenge, and where would you like to go?

I have told Mr. Baseball that I would go wherever he goes, no matter what. Of course that's hard for me because I tend to shy away from change, but I think the new challenge could be good for us because it would cause us to lean more heavily on the Lord and each other. As far as where I would like to go...Virginia, the Pacific Northwest, New England. It would be hard to move away because ALL of our family lives in NC, but again, wherever my man goes, there I am with him.

And with a clean slate and no expectations from your new neighbors and friends, having not yet accepted any responsibilities, is there anything in your life you would want to do in a new way? Things you would want to quit doing? New things you would like to try?

I would like to quit obsessing about my weight and constantly thinking about food and being afraid of failing at new things I try. And speaking of new things I would like to try...I would like take a cake decorating class and a photography class.

Sorry. My answers to that last question are a little weird. I had to read it several times to understand what exactly you meant Tracy P. Thanks for helping stimulate my brain for the first time today and fend off Alzheimer's for just a few more years.


And now, if I don't stop staring at this computer screen, I'm going to look like this...

and we don't need that.
