TMI Tuesday

TMI Tuesday

1. Do you believe anyone truly likes their job? If so, why?

I like my job, I just like other things more than my job ... like Lima Beans and Liver and Onions (No! Really! I *heart* Lima Beans and Liver and Onions!!) Sure, some people like their jobs - that is the goal, isn't it?? To find something you don't mind doing, better yet that you enjoy doing, for 8 hours (or more) a day?

2. Do you 1) live to work or 2) work to live 3) not see a difference?

Most definitely work to live. If I had the option, I'd stay at home and be a "typical" housewife - raising the kids, canning vegetables, baking bread ... skipping the barefoot and pregnant part! At least at 43 years old!!

3. How many hours do you work a week?

37.5 - three 10-hour days and one 9.5 hour day (with a 30 minute, unpaid lunch each day), Saturday through Monday off.

4. What was your safety item (i.e. blankie) from when you were little?

I had a binky - a blanket with a satin trim edge - until it unraveled and I almost strangled myself. My mom decided it was a good idea to take it away at that point.

My son had a football. Seriously - a plush, stuffed football with a silky tag on it. eventually he lost the tag and I had to replace it with another piece of silky fabric and then he wore the fuzz off the dang thing. I've still got it and plan on making it a wedding present.

5. Have you ever used food during sex?

What haven't I used during sex? I just don't have the "usual" inhibitions when it comes to sex. Fruits? Yes ... strawberries, bananas. Vegetables? Corn on the cob, cucumbers, carrots, celery. Other foods? Chocolate syrup, whipped cream, fudgecicle, creamcicle. Have you heard enough yet? Maybe some day I'll become as conservative in my sex as I am in my politics ... or not! I think maybe I'm a redistributionist in the bedroom (I *heart* you Jay!)

Bonus (as in optional):What is your guilty food pleasure?

You know, there are so many.

A little off topic here, but h
ave I mentioned that I believe food - any food that someone else has cooked for you out of love - is an aphrodisiac? It means a lot to me when someone spends the time to make me a meal, even if it is just a PB & J sandwich I know that that person was thinking of me when they made it.

If we are talking foods that I really shouldn't eat because they are high in calories and/or have no nutritional value, a Dairy Queen Peanut Buster Parfait is right up there! I love the salty/sweet goodness of peanuts and hot fudge ... YUMMMM!

Double Bonus from our inquisitors (still optional): "We are looking for suggestions. . . If someone asked for your suggestions for a butt worshiping evening (an evening devoted to butt attention), what would you suggest?"

Butt worshiping? Am I the worshiper or the one being worshiped? Not sure I have any ideas, but it sure is fun to think about!!

Oooh, I haven't had a Peanut Buster Parfait in *ages* (pre-calorie awareness days). I should really revisit that one...and perhaps incorporate it into food-sex. ;)

Happy TMI!

buffalodick said...

Number 5? I've heard of Jimmy Buffet, now we got Dana the Buffet Table!

Lu' said...

I see you as a lot of things sweetie but typical is not one of them. Yeah to that. *smooch backatcha*

Dana said...

Ms. I, I do my best to avoid DQ at all costs because I have no will power when it comes to Peanut Buster Parfaits!

Buff, *gigglesnort*

Lu, not typical? You've got to be kidding!

Schmoop said...

Mmmmmmmm...Liver and Onions and Lima Beans, be still my heart.

Oh, and be careful. Don't let that corn on the cob start popping due to your hot box. Cheers Dana!!

Anonymous said...

Ick at liver & onions - I don't eat innards. LOL!

I'm honestly surprised that you'd want to be a typical housewife. For some reason, I imagine you more the executive, corporate type that would be bored to tears staying home. Guess I was wrong!

Great answers! :)

Anndi said...

Does it say something about me that I'm focussed on the sex question? ;)

d you're right, when someone takes the time to feed you, it's a turn on. Guess there may be something to "The way to a man (or woman)'s heart is through the stomach".

Now lie down while I feed you some grapes.

Dana said...

Matt-Man, starting off with a raw ear of corn, I should be OK, don't you think?!

FF, surprisingly enough, I am ALL about the family. I take far more pride in taking care of them than I do in anything I accomplish at work!

Anndi, mmmmmm ... GRAPES!! I like the green ones please *wink*

Biscuit said...

I got to "corn on the cob," and my legs slammed shut. I guess the bumps would feel good, but all those little silky threads all stuck to you...Well, I hope it's shucked really good is all I'm saying :)

Real Live Lesbian said...

I have to agree with you. When someone cooks for me, it just sets my heart a flutter. (swoon)

See NOW you can hear my voice when you read my words! LOL

Leighann said...

corn on the cob????

Interesting.... and probably not very messy. *giggle*

Anonymous said...

LOL, my boy takes odd little pink things from his sister or he steals her handbags often and struts about with them...

Nearly strangling oneself with a sookie is certainly a reason to distract one from said sookie...

Suddenly I am really hungry, happy Tuesday!

Dana said...

Biscuit, the corn needs to be well shucked and all end appropriately smoothed, but the bumps are fun *wink*

RLL, I can "hear" you ... of course I can't understand you because I'm a friggin' northerner *gigglesnort*

Leighann, RAW corn on the cob ... not messy at all!

Dana said...

jGrrl, I've often said that my son is either gay (which I am more than OK with) or has quite the feminine side (he does own several pink shirts and, like me, buys his clothes based on how they "feel").

It's a TMI sex buffet today!

Jay said...

I would think that porn stars love their jobs. It just seems like it would be a really enjoyable job to have.

Using food during sex? You mean like a warm apple pie?? LOL

Food is definitely an aphrodisiac! It is a sensual experience.

Slyde said...

you had me going until i got to "corn on the cob"...

i guess i just dont find corn sexy enough....

As American as Apple Pie said...

Wow! The food thing has got me going. Lima beans and liver and onions---ewwwww!!! You almost lost me there. But then I got to the Dana Buffet and pigged out.

I did the SAHM thing for 5 years and now I wonder how I made it out alive. The Chiles too.

Knight said...

I had a plugy. Seriously, they called my pacifier my plug. I was addicted to them until I was five.

I am so with you about food cooked for you being an aphrodisiac. Somehow it tastes that much better because they care so much. My boy cooked me an entire meal for Valentine's day. Whoa! Definitely an aphrodisiac.

Vinny "Bond" Marini said...

OK..I saw corn on the cob and my head tilted to the right a tad....all the rest..yup been there done that have the t-shirt...but you forgot ice cubes...and hot candle wax (oh wait, that last is not really a food)

I love liver and onions with mashed potatoes and a few slices of bacon..YUM

I had a blanket with a satin trim edge I called my "pappa blanket" since i would lay there and tap the edge letting it bounce up and down off my fingers until I went to sleep

I love to cook for someone and it is an aphrodisiac for me to do so

Kimmie said...

I still have a blankie with satin trim, just not my baby one. ;-)

Your answers were great, and I melt at the thought of DQ's Peanut Buster Parfaits.

Dana said...

Jay, I think it would be a lot easier (and enjoyable) to be a female porn star than a male porn star - just sayin'

Slyde, carrots are sexy, but corn isn't? Do you have issues with vegetable segregation?? *wink*

Apple, I like brussel sprouts too - does that make me a bad person??

Dana said...

Knight, I have NEVER had a man cook a meal just for me (not including group/family meals). I'd probably end up stalking the first one who did!

Bond, everyone seems to have these corn issues, but it was BY FAR the best vegetable! And ice cubes aren't food either *wink*

Kimmie, Fortunately we have a seasonal DQ so I only have to restrain myself for 6 months out of the year.

Natalia said...

good answers!

I don't know how I would feel about butt worshipping either. haha!

Christo Gonzales said...

I can often be the first one here....I comment quickly sometimes and I will check back and comment later sometimes....It took me a while to get my 'bareings' straight.

no. 5 'other foods' ...?

bonus. this is the one that gets me....people need to get this....it doesnt matter what you make if you care when you make it...it makes all the difference...we have all had a 'good' and a 'bad' PBJ and I think now we know what the difference is.

Dana said...

Natalia, thank you! And thank you for stopping by!!

DB, what? Chocolate syrup and whipped cream aren't foods? Maybe not in your house *wink*

On #5, I didn't say that it didn't matter if it tasted good, I said, "It means a lot to me when someone spends the time to make me a meal, even if it is just a PB & J sandwich I know that that person was thinking of me when they made it." and that is very true!

As American as Apple Pie said...

I love brussel sprouts! No, it doesn't make you a bad person but I'll spank you later anyway.

Karen said...

I doesn't surprise me that you would be adventurous with food. You are cool like that. I want to be more like you.

Ashly Star said...

Love your answers! I skipped TMI today in favor of doing the I's meme I've seen floating around a bit.

I like the bonus. Food does taste better when someone else prepares it. Even if it is just a sandwich. I'm sure that's in my head or something but I definitely believe it. =)

Christo Gonzales said...

I am referring to the effort not the flavor also...a labor of love is a labor of love whether its jello or a souffle

Neil Benson said...

Older men definitely, and in a jacuzzi. I like eatings well placed bananas to the very end.
