An amazing photographer and great writer at Mamahood Among Other Things tagged me in a Meme! Eleven, eleven, eleven. Now I don’t usually play along with memes, but since I adore this Mama, and to tell the truth I think I must have burnt some brain cells in that Florida Sun as I’m struggling for some original content, I figured I would do a little over sharing and see what ya think!

Eleven Questions Assigned To Me
1. What is your bag style?
~Right now I prefer a big red purse that can carry everything from my phone to my laptop. I really should carry something smaller, this huge beauty gets too heavy and hurts my back!
2. Do you collect anything?
~Um…besides dust bunnies? I would say travel books. I hate to admit how much I love travel books, oh and shoes.
3. What is one beauty advice you swear by.
~Sunscreen in your make-up, always a good idea!
4. Pet Peeves.
~Slow drivers. People who chew with their mouths open. Gas passers in closed spaces. Rude, just saying.
5. Do you recycle gifts?
~Ha. No.
6. If you are to give yourself a Native American name, what would it be (Sitting Pretty, Laughing Burp…)?
~Right now I would be “Sleepless Mama”.
7. Do you still read the papers or do you get most of your news on line?
~They still make papers?
8. If you were an animal, what animal would you be?
~I’m thinking a cat. An indoor cat. Someone feeds you, pets you, tells you how beautiful you are every day, buys you super cute toys and cleans up after you? That’s not all bad.
9. Do you still write letters and cards or do you do them electronically these days?
~Sigh, not like I should.
10. Leather watch strap or metal?
~Metal
11. What was your favourite subject at school?

6. If someone gave you $200.00 err $600 and told you, “You must spend it on yourself.” What would you buy? (me, I’d consider accepting this Blue Topaz number by Matthew Campbell Laurenza. Sigh shopping at Neiman Marcus on line is dangerous!)

I make sure my makeup has sunscreen in it too! I have watch straps of every kind of imaginable material, I think!
Jewels says
Hi!
Love your “Oversharing” I’ll do this Meme too… Ilove chocolate too and hide some in my desk drawers (great for crappy Mondays!)Laundry isn’t bad compared to washing pots & pans or cleaning the litter box… Yep, cats are cool, I’d be nice to be a cat (better than a dog)
misszippy says
Hmmm, I can somehow relate to that hiding chocolate thing. Shhh!
I love a good, big bag where you can stuff your life in, but you are probably right that they are not good for our bodies!
Busana Muslim says
This is a great posting I have read. I like your article.
Lady Mama says
Like your answers. I have been known to hide chocolate too!
Jo says
So true about the pre-teens … and that includes my daughter I’m ashamed to say. Sweet as sugar the one moment and then mean as can be the next.
Enjoyed reading your answers!
Mom vs. the boys says
I hide chocolate too! guilty! lol
Sara @ Domestically Challenged says
Yep, girls can be mean, can’t they?
Laundry? Eww.
Slamdunk says
Very entertaining Stephanie.
I think the least favorite part here about laundry is the folding. I am getting better at not putting items in the wrong person’s drawer, but my folding would def prevent me from every going into a career in retail.
SurferWife says
Hi. I haven’t been here in so long. Shame on me.
Sitting pretty laughing burp is hilarious. That’s my 6 year old daughter.
Debby@Just Breathe says
Looks like Paris to me. Mine was from Paris too! I also hide chocolate. Love your pet peeves 🙂

Buckeroomama says
Sleepless Mama, you are not alone (and you look fab, for someone who doesn’t get enough sleep!). I hardly ever get to bed until at least midnight… I’m a very good reverse park-er, but totally suck at parallel parking!
So glad you played along! I really enjoyed your “oversharing,” haha! 🙂
