Ducks? Mmmmmm

Kat asked me…

Let’s see… how about this:

1. How did you meet your man?

This is too long of a story for today. I do promise to tell you guys one day though! Wait for it, it will probably take me 3 posts to tell the whole story.

2. When you were a kid, what did you want to be and do when you “grew up”?

I swore black and blue I wanted to be a vet. For years, I wanted to be a vet. Then I changed my mind and decided I wanted to be a chef. After completing part of a Certificate II in Kitchen Operations and working full time in a kitchen (towards an apprenticeship no less) I quit my job.

I still love and adore working with food, but honestly, I don’t think I could be a chef and a mother. Not at this point in my life.

Eventually, after the kids are all in school, I want to study nursing.

3. Are you grown up yet?

No. definitely not. I am 19 and I think I have a whole heap of growing up left to do. That said, I am mature (you can tell, right?) and I don’t enjoy alot of things people my own age do.

4. What has been your most embarrassing moment with Amy so far?

Well, how long do you have?

I don’t get embarassed very easily. I tend to just laugh as Amy does stuff, I mean, how else would I cope? The funniest (albeit red face inducing) was the time Amy popped one of my boobs out in public. From the top of my shirt. In front of a group of teenage boys. As red as I went, I nearly pissed myself laughing at their faces.

She also tells everyone out in public ‘Mummee boobies!’ and pats my chest.

5. How much time do you spend reading/writing blogs every week?

I used to spend alot more time than I do now. Since I moved into this house, I probably spend 2-3 hours a night writing and reading. My internet connection sucks, so I don’t get done nearly as much as I would like.

This explains why if you are on blogger, you haven’t had a comment from me lately. It takes me ages to load the comment form and generally fails a good 4-5 times before my comment will go through. After 3 refreshes I tend to get impatient and swear I will come back later. then I forget.

6. How many kids do you want to have?

4. or 5, maybe. I want a big family. You know, when we finally get #2 happening!

7. If you could go anywhere in the world on vacation, where would you go?

France, but not Paris. I want to see rural France and eat their food. I would also love to have ‘real’ sushi at a sushi bar in Japan.

8. Who is your best friend?

To be honest? Nathan. But if you are talking best ‘girl’ friend I don’t have one anymore. I miss having a BFF to talk to. Alot.

9. Do you like ducks?

Yes! Alot actually. Even though they are messy, noisy, bossy creatures, I really like ducks. I am actually wondering if getting a few muscovy ducks after winter would be such a bad idea. Although they would probably end up down at the river and NOT here giving me eggs and young ducks for the table. Hmmm, I wonder if there is any cash in raising ducks.

10. Why?

Because they give large delicious eggs. Because they are one of my most favourite roast meats.  Because I am always thinking about my stomach.

As a side note, Amy ADORES ducks. She has a few books and some blocks with ducks on them and she loves them. I even caught her kissing the duck blocks the other day. Very cute.

I have Burgh Baby’s question and answer half written in a draft. It was a tricky question and I need to answer it with my tact firmly at the front of my mind.

If you like, you can ask me more questions. I promise to try to answer them.

Also, if you have a spare moment, you should go check out this interview between Xbox4Nappyrash and Frogpondsrock. I nearly died laughing. Trust me, it is worth the click.
