Wacky Wednesday

1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall?

2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be?

3) What is your most impressive car repair skill?

Re: Wacky Wednesday

  • Nooooooo, I'm weird me again!!! WHY?!?
  • 1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall? A rubber ball?

    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be? The Cullens.

    JUST KIDDING.


    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill? It's been forever and a day since I've done any car repairs.  J was a mechanic so he does it all.  I've changed my oil and tires.  I've helped with brakes and sandblasted.  I'm sure I've done other things, but it's been a long time!

  • 1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall?

    DS has a toy gun that my mother got him for his birthday. It is so annoying. It says "Fire, Fire, Fire!" over and over.
    I also hate porcelain dolls. They are creepy. For some reason, my mom thought that I loved them and would get me one every Christmas. Every year I would cram them into the top of my closet and pretend that they didn't exist. I had a baby one that was especially creepy. It played music and had abnormally large hands.


    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be?
    Ooh, good one! I can't wait to see everyones' replies. I pick the Weasleys. I am not a ginger, but I think they would overlook that.


    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill?
    Ummm, I can put gas in it? I can check the oil?

    My favorite Cake Wreck ever.


  • 1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall?  I don't get this question.  Are there a great number of toys that can be thrown against a wall.  Or is this a matter of getting frustrated with a toy and wanted to throw it against the wall because it doesn't do what you want it to do?  I have to say I am scratching my head on this one.

    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be?  Easy.  I want to be in the BDB family.  SWOON.

    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill?  I superglued the outside doorhandle back on my 1999 Volkswagon Bug the day I traded it in.

  • 1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall? Uh.... To destroy? A Tickle Me Elmo. I don't know.

    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be? Easy. Weasley family.

    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill? I can wash it. Boom, I have talent.

  • 1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall? Any kind of clown doll. Because....no.

    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be? I'm going to have to go with the Weasley family, as well.

    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill? I can change a flat tire. I know, not very impressive.
    I write sexy books. I read all the books. I love dresses & macarons.

  • #1 is basically meant to ask which toy is so annoying you want to beat it smithereens. ;)
  • 1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall?
    My dog has this squeaky pea that I want to throw out but she just likes it too much.  She's spoiled.
    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be?
    Definitely the Weasley's.
    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill?
    0.  I have 0 car skills other than I can fill my tires with air.

  • Back to regular me, when I'm not on my phone. 

    1) When I was a kid they had these record players for toddlers that played plastic "records" with grooves in them. Typically nursery songs and stuff. OMG, it was like a music box, but loud and just horrible.

    2) Weasleys aside, I think I'd like to join up with the Finch family from TKAM, or the March family from Little Women.

    3) I can't do much of anything when it comes to car repairs. I can change wiper blades and top of fluids. Heh.

  • 1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall? My Buddy (that doll from the 80s...so creepy)
     
    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be? Which book families were wealthy and had huge homes with big libraries?
     
    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill?  We own a garage/gas station.  I'm impressed by my ability to drive my car there and get it serviced.  But really...um, I can check my own oil, pump my own gas, umm.....

  • 1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall? 2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be? 3) What is your most impressive car repair skill?
    1. Anything that makes noise or sings a song.  I've confiscated batteries out of a lot of things that were just too annoying and tell the girls that they don't work anymore.

    2. I think Peter, Susan, Edmund, and Lucy should add a Lindsey to their ranks.  I'd love to see Narnia.

    3. I changed timing belts, alternator belts, and dissembled the dashboard to change the dash light of my 1986 VW Cabriolet.  Oh, I absolutely adored that car.

    1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall?  I can't answer this question. Throwing stuff repeatedly against a wall does nothing for me.

    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be?  Ditto Weasleys. I also want to be Karou and Zuze's quirky friend.

    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill?  None. I have zero car repair skills. Literally.

  • 1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall? One of the best parts about not having kids is not having toys in our house.  Instead I get to buy those toys for George and Gemma and laugh to myself.  Does it have a billion tiny pieces or play one bar of music repeatedly?  It's on my list of gifts.   :)

    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be?  The March family from Little Women.  One sister is amazing - FOUR sisters?  Heaven!  

    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill? I can change tires and change the oil, although I won't do either unless it's absolutely necessary.

    1. No toy annoys me that much yet.
    2.Witch central for sure!
    3.Change fuses, check oil, in theory I can change a tire but haven't tested that out yet.
  • 1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall? All of the cats' toys with bells on them/in them. So loud.

    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be? Weasleys. 

    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill? Right. I can pump gas and maaaybe stop directly on .00 (dollars). I know how to physically check the oil but I can't tell you if it's correct or anything. I can sometimes untangle the seat belt.

    I am seriously impressed by this. Other than the dashboard, I couldn't even tell you where those parts are located.

  • 1. My daughter's kazoo. Actually, it's been "missing" for a couple weeks now.

    2. The Darcy's.  Of course I would have to marry Mr. Darcy to join the family.  Sorry, Elizabeth.

    3. I have learned to change a tire, but I've never actually had to do it.

    1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall? All sound making toys the boys receive are banished to my in-laws house, but I particularly despise Rock and Roll Elmo, who convulses as he sings the Jackson 5's ABC. 

    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be? The Weasleys. Ginny could use a sister in the mix. 

    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill? I was a terrible driver when I first got my license so my parents got me the biggest, ugliest old Crown Victoria to drive. It was in disrepair and I had a wire in my glove box that I used to hot wire it fairly often.

    1. A Wacky WallWalker! Does anyone else remember those?

    2. I'm another vote for the Pevensie family. I want to be a queen of Narnia!

    3. I'm a pro at finding car repair shops in the middle of nowhere in Mozambique. Does that count?

  • 1) What is one toy you'd like to throw repeatedly at the wall? The toy trains and airplanes that our gift shop sells.  I am so tired of them thinking they have to press ALL the buttons all at once and make them woo woo and zoom.

    2) If you could be a member of any book family, who would it be?
    Bishop family from A Discovery of Witches.  Then I could be a witch and walk through time. Bitchin'.  
    3) What is your most impressive car repair skill? I can change a tire and air them up properly, change my oil, jack it up, change the light bulbs, diagnose a dead battery and change it, and drive like a beast.  Mind you, other than the lights and tires (and driving) I don't do any of this because I don't like getting dirty and it's much easier to have a mechanic do it.  I used to have an in house mechanic, but I grew up and had to move away from my dad. :)
