Monday Listicles

Posted on July 1, 2012 | by Bridget | 32 Comments

This week is easy, all we have to do is answer 10 questions from the lovely Stasha at Northwest Mommy. After a week of Alaska Adventures and complicated cocktails, I’m ready for something easy. Here goes nothing!

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 23, and find line 4. What is it? “track.”

As in “walk over the track.” From “The Sandwich Islands” in The Complete Essays Of Mark Twain

2. How many times a day do you say Hi? A million. At least.

3. Have you ever worn a uniform? Yes

4. What do you think about the most? Food. Sad, but true.

5. How many keys are on your key ring? Two

6. What was the last thing you bought? Dinner at Ray’s On The Waterfront in Seward, Alaska. Halibut Cheeks. Jen and I spent the entire day looking forward to a dinner of “Hali-buttcheeks.”

7. Are you growing anything these days? Bags under my eyes

8. What is under your bed? Plastic bins filled with crap and dust bunnies.

9. What is most important in life? Love

10. What is the strangest word you used this week? Take your pick: atmospheric, puffin pie, superthanks, puffin on the rocks.

    DO I want to know what Puffin on the rocks is?

  2. Bits of Bee says:

    Great answers, especially “growing bags under your eyes”, I’m with ya on that one! Great pic at the end!

  3. Megan says:

    That’s where we ate in Seward! Glad you had a week of Alaska adventures too!!

  4. Anna says:

    I think about food most of the time as well, I should have put that on my list! You have some very interesting, weird words, are they all drinks? I like ‘superthanks’!

  5. TheBonnyBard says:

    Hali-buttcheeks! ha, ha, ha, ha!

  6. Stasha says:

    Yep, food pretty much preoccupies my mind too. I want a penguin on the rocks to be served with my hali buttcheeks!

  7. Kathy says:

    I’ll have a puffin on the rocks, shaken, not stirred. ;-)

  8. Oh, i want to go to Alaska!! So fun! Such great food! Erin

  9. You drink too much. There, I said it. And for that I bow down to you for finding what gets you through. Kudos. I need to change my strange word to kudos.

  10. Puffin on the rocks. Is that with tonic or seltzer? But I’m writing this comment when all I really want to say is halibutcheekshalibutcheeks….that may become my new insult when someone pisses me off: STOP IT YOU DAMN HALIBUTCHEEK!
    I think it’s got real potential.

  11. Wayne says:

    I love puffins, they are a very cool birds…

  12. Puffin pie – I want to know why you said puffin pie.

  13. Hilarious, as usual!

  14. Poppy says:

    What kind of uniform? Jail orange?

  15. Trinity says:

    I have dust bunnies and useless crap under my bed too. When people come over I pull the side of the comforter that faces the hallway all the way down to the floor. That way I never have to clean it. Came here from Namzolas blog.

  16. tricia says:

    puffin- the other red meat. I watched that guy from Bizarre foods catch those things with a net. They eat it raw. Yuck.

  17. Meredith says:

    These questions are great. And I’m glad for you to have the break–that does sound like a lot of puffin for one week ;)

  18. Katie E says:

    Your answer to #4 is probably the honest answer I should have given :)

  19. Jackie says:

    Sounds like we’ve got the same things on our respective minds…food! How was the puffin pie?

  20. Dana says:

    So many goodbyes – some permanent [candles]. So much laughter. I applaud you, and love the photo of the day.

  21. Larks says:

    LOL! I am curious about “superthanks.” Is it like “thanks a lot”? Is it like thanks in spandex outfit with a cape?

  22. atmospheric. superb word!

    and I sooo agree w/ “LOVE.” <3

  23. Diane says:

    The “Puffin on the Rocks” looks much tastier that the Rhubarb concoction. ;P

  24. Susi says:

    Those halibut cheeks look delicious. I really love eating halibut but don’t get to enjoy it too often since the rest of the fam would rather eat steak!!!

  25. Grace says:

    #7, #8 and #10 cracked me up!
    But I can’t believe you only have 2 keys…really? Post a photo on IG and prove it! ;)

  26. RoryBore says:

    I have simply got to find a way to use halibutcheeks, puffin pie on the rocks, atmospheric and superthanks all in one sentence this week. pretty sure it will distract people from my own bags and dust bunnies.

  27. Audrey says:

    I’m pretty sure hali buttcheeks is a strange word Ha ha!

  28. Nami says:

    Although I’ve never met her, I have to say, I love your friend Jen. I dunno, maybe it’s the Puffin talkin’…
