This blog post is dedicated to Shannon because I’m using all her stuff in it.
First, she’s hosting a little (who am I kidding? Does anything she hosts turn out little? I think not.) bloggy give away carnival starting on Monday. I’m going to play, so if you want a chance to win one of my tote bags, come back on Monday and leave comments. Don’t forget to play along yourself and offer up your own give away. Winners will be drawn on Friday, July 26.
Then, Shannon came up with five questions for the interview meme (which I’ve already done). I couldn’t resist answering them.
- If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Well, iced tea for a drink. For food, though? I just don’t think I could limit myself. If I had to or they were going to release large spiders on my body, I would pick popcorn, I guess. But only in the scenario with the spiders.
- What’s the most nerve-racking "close call" you’ve ever had? Well, I thought I was going to marry the guy I dated long-term before I met Husband. I’d say that was a close call.
- Name five features your ultimate dream house would have.
- Matt Damon (as Jason Borne), Hugh Jackman, or any other eye candy for this job.
- Sound-proof sewing/craft room so I could disappear completely and not hear the wails of my family as they try to claw their way to me. This one would be fine.
- A wrap-around porch so I can hide from my family and read in a nice rocking chair while sipping iced tea. As the family tries to find me, I can just keep moving. It’ll be like hide-and-seek around a tree. Fun for everyone and the kids get exercise.
- An infinity bathtub and a lock on the bathroom door.
- A three-car garage so Husband would have a place for the muscle car he’s always wanted. Yeah, I’m throwin’ him a bone.
- Who has been the most influential non-relative in your life? Actually, I am lucky enough to have had two influential non-relatives in my life: RmB and Emily. I owe much of my writing development to RmB (too bad I’ve been losing it slowly since I graduated) and much of my surly smart-aleckness to Emily.
- What one non-physical feature would you most like to change about yourself? I would like to be the benevolent ruler of the blogosphere. You will all hail Chili and don the glasses. And you will like it.

Can I join in on your little fantasy there? I would be willing to sit with you on your wraparound porch sipping iced tea while watching the eye candy at work. I would even be willing to test out the tub for you, just to make sure it is worthy of the “benevolent ruler of the blogosphere”, an entirely selfless gesture on my behalf I assure you.
I did note that while you are allocating a bay for the muscle car you did not mention actually allowing him to have said car. My husband had a 69 Firebird for a few years, during that time it produced actual fire -twice. I don’t miss that thing at all.
Fine by me…if you ruled the blogosphere, that is.
I’m excited about the blog giveaway. I’ve already teased my readers with what I’m giving away….

You are in rare form, dear Chili. Bwahahaha. . .
Ok, now that that is over.
I totally want one of those infinity baths, too. How did I miss that one?
I’ll sign up for your giveaway, but I want one either way, any way. Just get me a tote bag ; )
I was trying to describe the blogging giveaway carnival to my husband last night…not a bloggy guy and he was a bit confused. So, I said, “Oh just know that people are giving away lots of FREE stuff. I really hope chilihead is giving away one of her purses – they are so cool.” I was going to start the explanation of “chilihead”, but decided, “forget it – just know she makes AWESOME purses.” So, I am so excited you are giving one away! I hope I win!!!!
Thank you for the ode. I’m deeply honored.
WHERE ARE YOU right now?
