Jeez, Paschal. This is the second time I've plowed through this today. We must be rubbing elbows with the same bloggers.
And of course I always have to come back on your memes, right here, right now.
1. Nada. A tidy car makes for....well, a tidy car. Liked your answer better.
2. Can't clearly remember when. But Bennie had to stop on Old Pecos Trail and let me open the car door and let fly. New Year's Eve what year??? Mercifully a long time ago.
3. Gosh darn it. Just kidding.
4. Bennie. You and your answer to 1. Dilbert.
5. Same old, same old.
6. Taking a shower.
7. Sand Mountain Infirmary, Albertville, Alabama.
8. Yes. I had a date with a barker who worked at Carol Doda's in North Beach, San Francisco. I met him at the workplace and took in a matinee. After the show, one of the performers walked over to my table and asked me really softly, as if she might be talking to a nut case, "Why are you here?"
9. "Good luck at the gallery today! Love you!"
10. Any rich chocolate. But I'll take Breyer's vanilla. I abhor ice cream with fake vanilla flavoring.
11. French roast of course.
12. Paint-spattered clothes. Waiting for a layer on canvas to dry.
13. A chocolate chip cookie. I'm not fasting this weekend.
14. No.
15. Other than home, at Diego's Cafe.
16. Can't remember. I don't watch that much. When was the Super Bowl?
17. Can't remember.
18. Duh. Is this a trick question?
19. Yes. But the last time I did this, I was so relieved to leave Rocky Mountain National Park and check into a hotel in Aspen and order a hot fudge sundae from room service. We all were. Long, showerless camping trip.
20. Eldorado, a "planned, rural community" about 10 miles out of Santa Fe, New Mexico.
21. I'm not. I like quiet when I paint.
22. Not intentionally, but yes, my skin does tan a bit. Unless that means: Am I a tanner by trade, in which case the answer is no.
23. I love straws!
24. I don't text message.
25. Bennie Joe.
26. Going to "April in Paris," a gala event at the Hilton in Albuquerque. Food offerings from great restaurants and a French cabaret. WOO HOO!
27. On Sutton Place Circle in the aforementioned small north Alabama city.
28. A pot with a big goat-hair-bristled brush sticking out of it. I need to get back to the painting. How long is this thing?
29. One of them is stainless steel. A DKNY beauty Bennie gave me for my 50th b'day. The other is dressier--a gold tone Fendi. Also from BJ.
30. My comfort zone.
31. Yes, but I don't enjoy them. The stomach dropping thing unnerves me. I'm more of a Tilt a Whirl girl.
32. Sapphire.
33. Love your answer. I won't add anything.
34. Ditto.
35. Trudy. An aging pound puppy, almost as old as me in canine years. Aussie shepherd and heeler. Part heAler too.
36. BJ.
37. A few Hollywood people, in the gallery. Once drove a couple of cast members from Hill Street Blues from an artist's studio in the Sunset district of San Francisco to our gallery on Union Street. Made a sale.
38. Finish 2 in-progress paintings. Finish laundry. Cook dinner. Glad to learn you haven't sent the book yet. In the past few days I have gotten the mail for 6 Camerada. God knows who's getting the mail for 6 Lucero. I'd thought they might be deeply submerged in the Yiddish policemen's union already.
39. 3. Alabama. California. New Mexico.
40. I've been to college. And I've been to town.
41. In Flan's bedroom/my studio.
42. This meme is wearing me out.
43. No. I never struggle to forgive. If I want to hold a grudge, I'll damn well do it.
44. Just sulfa drugs.
45. Love your answer. But this time I will add my own: a pair of black suede Via Spiga stilettos with pointy toes. Very seldom wear them anymore. They're not that much in style, but they are the most beautiful pair of shoes I ever owned and I will not part with them.
Kudos to Ms San, for which you win one copy of TYPU: just got back from doing part of #38.
Your 40 and 43 were classic. ("And I've been to town." Can't take the Alabama out of the girl, can you?)
The blogger I stole this from took it way too seriously.
Now go hydrate yourself with a hot fudge sundae and y'all have a good time down in Albuquerque.
Peace/out.
