After several days, it has been my observation that what will settle this ruckus of a blog down is a good Pop Quiz. Yes. Pop Quiz. Pshah. No, I didn’t stutter - A Pop Quiz. Mommy Mindy takes pride in documenting her life in this here blog. This blog that we g u e st bloggers have so totally trashed (and it has been SO much fun). We promise to clean up later (**nudges Gen** yeah riiiight).
Day in and day out she shares the intimate details of her life - the good, the bad and the funny. That’s why most of you love her. It wasn’t until she left that I actually READ her blog - I mean ALL of it. As in, starting at the first post ALL of it. I learned some things. Some things took me to places I really didn’t want to go, places that were waaaaay funnier than I’ve ever been to, and some places that were/are very familiar and feel like home.
Why does she do this? My answer: She’s a conceited woman that is obsessed with being in the limelight (there’s a hint of sarcasm there for those sarcastically inept). Her answer? .....well you haven’t been paying attention have you? Memories. Pure memories documented. So, the best way to preserve a memory is by quiz - or so my schoolteachers told me. Or was it my college professors? I can’t remember. BUT it is important. I was going to wait a few days to post this, but then I realized, “heck it took me four days just to get through her site”. Here’s my version of the “Mommy Quiz”.
Rules: First one to comment with all the correct answers gets a “prize”. Yes, you may cheat and use her search engine for the answers - this IS an open blog quiz. No, you may not ask Mindy for the answers. Yes, family members may play - I’m betting some of these will even stump them. Any more questions? No? Ready? Get out your No.2 pencils and.....go:
1. What is the name of the family dog?
2. Which family member declared, “Look Mommy, I’m Superpants” (hint: it wasn’t Gil)
3. What’s Mommy Mindy’s favorite bedtime attire? [bonus points if you know the color(s)]
4. Who thought that Mommy Mindy was going to be a ”Streetwalker”?
5. When did Daphne take her first steps?
6. Where did Mindy originally grow up?
7. There’s a certain food that Mindy despises, but her husband LOVES it. What is it?
8. One child actually compared Mindy’s strong dislike to the the food in #7 to his dislike of her “Hannah Andersson drawstring skirt”. Who was it?
9. If Logan was a caveman, which family member would he kill so they could survive?
10. Who are you if you know Mindy as “Melvin Ooie Hotshot”?

Good questions, but waaaay too much work to get the answers. Some of us actually WORK for a living, not just sit behind a computer and blog half the day. (Did that sound pouty- it was, I’m jealous.)
Ho hum- lunch break is over- back to the trenches.
Have fun!

Well, the hardest thing was figuring out how to comment on the blog. I try to save my comments for private time with Mindy......Even moms don’t know all about their kids, thank god. But here are the answers I know to be true from close observation.
1. Molly, poor thing
2. Dylan, the escape artist
3. pink and yellor striped pjs of any brand, and this I know to be a fact no matter what she says
4. Logan, the judge
5. 10 months and I was there
6. Chicago, not Evanston, you goofs, and there’s a big big difference
7. salmon, and there’s a good reason for that
8. Logan, the flip lip
9. Molly, poor thing
10. got me--I’m too old but it could have been her brother, any one of the 4 of them
So, Mindy, where are you?? Call mom....
04.27.04 at 11:45 AM |
Ohhh, I laughed sooo hard at that. Mom: I’m in CANADA, hellooooo? Remember? I was leaving the country???
It’s horrendously expensive to phone from here--I’m not even calling the kids much, but I have a high-speed connection here in my room! Email me!!
I have a post in my head that I haven’t written out yet, but it’s about the three perfect days here so far… I am starting to miss home and the kids now, and beginning to toy with the ides of catching an earlier flight.... but probably won’t.
However, the town is fantastic and I have a spa suite due to some mixup with the reservation. I just now came back from lunch at a wine bar and walking the city with a friend, and came back to the hotel with a box full of truffles and a bottle of champagne… and I think that spells a date with the jacuzzi tub and an in-room movie.... Don’t anyone call me!!

Mindy’s AWAY? WTF....
04.28.04 at 06:36 AM |
So far Mindy’s Mom is the closest. She has 9 out of 10 right..... and the one that is “wrong” is because she hasn’t been descriptive enough
Shylah - 7/10
Phil - 8/10
Wow - pretty good job!
