    Carnac, the sequel: Vampy wants answers!

    by Mindi Cherry

    FacebookPinEmail

    Ok - you guys need to know that I adore Vampy.  I met her several years ago on another website.  We lost touch for about a year, and then she somehow found me here (and now it seems that she & FreeFromItAll told some of our other friends about this place  :::waving hi::::.  To those ladies - all that shit from that other site belongs anywhere but here.  I never took sides in that fight and I still won't.  That being said, I welcome you here with open arms)

    Anyway - Vampy must have been chugging the coffee, 'cause she asked a ton of questions.  Here we go:

    "Please tell me how you turned $3 into $307 in five days so that I can do the same!"  It all started when I went to a Mary Kay party and the sales person told me that she had selected little ol' me to be on her team (oh wait....that was when I LOST money!)  To make money - the first thing you need to do is invent a time machine and go back about 3 weeks and buy "Cars" on Blu-ray and send away for the $3 Blu-Ray McQueen.  Once you do that, let me know.  Seriously - that's another post for this weekend (oh - and it's up to $391 right now)

    "Why do you feel you are whining? I feel you are quite normal and put a fun twist on life as a mom (and working from home at that!)"  That's sweet of you to say, but I pride myself on having perfected the art of whining.  I even throw in a few foot stomps for good measure!

    "Most of all, how did it feel to flush the hermit crab?! LMAO here"  I actually felt a bit nervous because a part of me wonders if he was really dead (although he stunk and that is supposed to be the only way to tell).  See - I threw away a hermit crab a few months ago that I thought was dead but later realized was just doing his "molting hibernation".  I always wondered what happened when he woke up in a landfill somewhere covered in coffee grounds!

    "No really, if there was one thing you REALLY want us to know about you, what would it be?"  I am neither the alcoholic nor the total bitch that I sometimes seem to be on this blog....and I would throw myself in front of a train to save any member of my family (and that includes parents, brothers, sisters and even in-laws...well, some in-laws). 

    "What’s love got to do with it?"  Everything

    "What’s the most fun idea you’ve come up with when the weather is bad and the kids are starting to climb the walls?"  I would love to give you some completely original and fun idea, but the truth is, we just pull out the cookie cutters and bake & decorate sugar cookies....or head to the mall 

    "What is the most intense conversation or post you’ve ever experienced online?"  Vampy, you might remember that one of the reasons I never had a dog in "that fight" was because of my policy of not getting emotionally invested in people that I meet online or at least have never met face-to-face.  So I guess the answer to your question is that anything remotely serious or revealing about myself that I have posted on this blog is as intense as I have been....and this one was the hardest one for me to type because it forced me to face how out of control I was for 2 weeks.  And if there is one thing that I like, it's self-control

    "Am I playing the game correctly???" yes 😉

    "What’s wrong with Dancing Queen? (besides the fact that you have probably heard it as many times as I’ve heard “We Will Rock You”)."  It's Disco.  It's light and peppy.  It's one of those songs that comes on and makes you alternate between wanting to dance and looking for an icepick to shove in your ear.  And now Prince #1 came up to me last night carrying my iPod and said "mommy - can you play that queen song?  It's my favorite!" (and he wasn't talking about "Fat Bottomed Girls")

    "Have you ever thought about writing a book about parenting or life in general? You have a real knack for wording and a great sense of humor. I think you’d be great at it."  Now I think you are just trying to get me to give you that next bracelet or necklace for free!

    "Do you really drink martini’s and if so what kind?" yes I do, but very rarely at home.  If we are out to dinner or a bar I will order one.  If we are at my mother's house her boyfriend (of 15 years) will make me one.  I drink an Absolut or Belvedere martini, extra dry, with 3 olives.  The only time I deviate from that is 4th of July week when my sister and her family, my father and his wife and 2 other daughters and me & my husband/kids all converge on my fathers house at the shore.  That is just a sick week of drinking, playing cards and getting sunburned.  That is the only time I will drink "flavored" (apple, watermelon, chocolate, etc) martinis, among other things.  I tend to get "sugar hangovers" from sweet drinks.

    Well - that wasn't so bad....anything else Vampy dear?

      AWWWW THANKS FOR THE COMPLIMENT AND WE TOTALLY GET WHAT YOU ARE SAYING ABOUT THE OTHER $HIT!

      Anyway - Vampy must have been chugging the coffee, ’cause she asked a ton of questions. Here we go:

      “Please tell me how you turned $3 into $307 in five days so that I can do the same!” It all started when I went to a Mary Kay party and the sales person told me that she had selected little ol’ me to be on her team (oh wait….that was when I LOST money!)

      OK

      “Most of all, how did it feel to flush the hermit crab?!

      OOPS...HEY WE ARE ENTITLED TO MAKE BADS ONCE IT A WHILE! HOPEFULLY HE LIKE COFFEE! LOL

      “No really, if there was one thing you REALLY want us to know about you, what would it be?” I am neither the alcoholic nor the total bitch that I sometimes seem to be on this blog….and I would throw myself in front of a train to save any member of my family (and that includes parents, brothers, sisters and even in-laws…well, some in-laws).

      YOU'RE NOT? :O) I KNEW THAT :O)

      “What’s love got to do with it?” Everything TOTALLY AGREED

      “What’s the most fun idea you’ve come up with when the weather is bad and the kids are starting to climb the walls?” I would love to give you some completely original and fun idea, but the truth is, we just pull out the cookie cutters and bake & decorate sugar cookies….or head to the mall

      OK THAT WORKS.

      “What is the most intense conversation or post you’ve ever experienced online?” Vampy, you might remember that one of the reasons I never had a dog in “that fight” was because of my policy of not getting emotionally invested in people that I meet online or at least have never met face-to-face. So I guess the answer to your question is that anything remotely serious or revealing about myself that I have posted on this blog is as intense as I have been….and this one was the hardest one for me to type because it forced me to face how out of control I was for 2 weeks. And if there is one thing that I like, it’s self-control

      YEP, I REMEMBER WE'VE HAD THIS CONVERSATION BEFORE; THANKS FOR REFRESHING MY MEMORY. IT WAS A TOTALLY UNCOOL CIRCUMSTANCE THAT I RECALL AND I'M GLAD WE DON'T HAVE TO DEAL WITH THAT CRAP ANYMORE.

      “Am I playing the game correctly???” yes YAYYYYYYYYY!

      “What’s wrong with Dancing Queen? (besides the fact that you have probably heard it as many times as I’ve heard “We Will Rock You”).” It’s Disco. It’s light and peppy. It’s one of those songs that comes on and makes you alternate between wanting to dance and looking for an icepick to shove in your ear. And now Prince #1 came up to me last night carrying my iPod and said “mommy - can you play that queen song? It’s my favorite!” (and he wasn’t talking about “Fat Bottomed Girls”)

      LOL...THAT'S FUNNY..I SOMEHOW GET THAT.

      “Have you ever thought about writing a book about parenting or life in general? You have a real knack for wording and a great sense of humor. I think you’d be great at it.” Now I think you are just trying to get me to give you that next bracelet or necklace for free!

      NAH, I TOTALLY BELIEVE IN PAYING MY BILLS; I'M BEING PRETTY SERIOUS HERE BECAUSE YOU SINCERELY HAVE A KNACK FOR WRITING AND YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR FLOWS THROUGH WITH IT. (BUT IF IT HELPS I'LL KEEP ON GOING LOL LOL...KIDDING OF COURSE)

      “Do you really drink martini’s and if so what kind?” yes I do, but very rarely at home. If we are out to dinner or a bar I will order one. If we are at my mother’s house her boyfriend (of 15 years) will make me one. I drink an Absolut or Belvedere martini, extra dry, with 3 olives.

      HAVE YOU EVERY TRIED A GREY GOOSE MARTINI? OMGOODNESS...YOU WILL NEVER TURN BACK.

      Well - that wasn’t so bad….anything else Vampy dear?

      MAY I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPH? :O) ...THUD AS MINDI SWIPES THE FRYING PAN UPSIDE VAMPY'S HEAD.

      Okay, now I want to know all about the taking sides and fighting things! First you should have one of those martini's though. That way we'll get all the good dirt!
