1. Do you have any nicknames and if so how did it come about?
Well, I'm sure everyone knows the 'Saxy' story; if not -- one time in Superstore when I was a young teen, Mom yelled at me across the store "Saxy!", I was mortified because it sounded like 'sexy' so I pretended I didn't know her, haha. Mom also calls me 'Booey', don't know the story behind that one. Mom, you wanna tell us in the comments? Aunt Stephanie calls me Sadie, from my middle name Mercedes. Dad briefly called me Moose ('briefly' because it made me so upset) because I would clomp around the house. Oh, and a few times he called me Chester (for obvious reasons, at least back then) but he made the mistake of calling me that one time when his biker buddies were over and of course, all their eyes went to my boobs and then I think he realized that was a HORRIBLE nickname for a young woman. When my brothers were little they called me BoBo, which I absolutely despised. So I put an end to that right chicken-louie. And I think that's it for nicknames. Unless you guys can think of any??
2. What is your birth order amongst your siblings?
Oldest, and wisest. Hah. Four years older than Trapper, six years older than Levi.
3. In a movie of your life, who would play your significant other?
Well, if I got to choose it would obviously be Adam Lambert because then I could play myself and we could have all those wonderful love scenes, he he. But I'm sure Ty would FER-EEK. I think he would want someone like Johnny Depp, or Brad Pitt, or The Rock. Oh, who am I kidding, those are all still my choices (coincidentally, all on my List).
4. What is currently your favorite song?
'Somebody to Love' by Justin Bieber; also, I'm loving 'Fever' by Adam Lambert.
5. Are you saving your money for anything right now? Big or small purchase?
YES!!! We are saving up for a family trip to Disneyland in the spring!!!

I remember the Superstore incident and (1) when you finally caught up to us, in line putting items on the belt, I said in a loud voice (to embarrass you more), here babe, I’ve got more of these condoms for you and you picked them up, seriously looked them over then said in a louder voice, “Mom, you know I prefer the ribbed kind.” Oh, what a great comeback and (2) because I realized you hated this nickname, it’s the wickedness in me that urges me to continue to call you this, even to this day, right? Sax (or Saxy). Booey was a baby nickname because it doesn’t sound so “grownup” or “mature” when you cooing to a wiggly, tiny little baby. It’s another nickname that’s hung in there. I mean, it must be the same situation if a baby’s name is Darrel or Robert or Richard (LOL - the latter baby would be called, I believe, Dick or Dickie, right .. remember the Trapper incident?) I remember the nickname Sadie (and Stephanie still calls you that) and I remember BooBoo (which sounded like slang for snot so I helped you stop that one) and I have to take this opportunity to clarify the Chester name - you had just received a clown from the real Santa Claus, when you won that trip to Inuvik, (but he gave you a clown, of all things .. I mean don’t people realize that most children, as well as just as many adults, are totally afraid of clowns? OFPS) and that toy came with a tag that indicated his name was Chester, the Jester. Your dad picked up on that using the name of the clown but eventually it backfired on him several years later when you started to develop in the boob area. A good mom would have encouraged you to start calling him Dickie Dad (or something derogatory and similar like Manhood Mark) and I’m sure he would have instantly stopped calling you Chester (why am I thinking of these great comebacks now, of all times). By the way, I also called you my gurlchild, my tweetie and my princess, all of which have been transferred to your daughter.
Thank goodness you were the oldest because I leaned on you a lot to assert your position in the family ie., being the eldest of the siblings you were automatically the “boss” of both the boys and dogs.
By the way, if you were in a movie with Adam Lambert, it would be porn - you and two other guys. There - I just destroyed your dream (or, perhaps not! Perhaps there are some things a mother just doesn’t need to know)
I’m glad you mentioned saving money for Disneyland because, reading this in writing makes it seem so real! If the family goes after hockey season, I’ll have time to lose at least 20 pounds and now that I’ve FINALLY figured out how to put that stupid machine together, I’ll be firm, toned and fit to keep up to the pace.
I love your Friday question post!
LUF2M and M2F (the infamous quote from Gunnarboy)
Hag.
By the way, did I tell you that I was commenting to both sisters this weekend about what a grandparent should be called (eg., Gramma Stevie instead of Gramma Orr or Gramma Tari instead of Gramma Puffer). Because Milena was with me, I turned to her and said “Milena doesn’t call me Gramma Simcoe, right Lena? What’s my first name tweetie?” and she promptly said “Hag.”
Mom, you're so funny. Now that you mention the Chester story, I remember that that WAS how it all started.
And oh how I laughed that you said the movie with Adam Lambert would be a porno, HAHAHA! Its like you read my mind. lol
Now that you got your pilates machine hooked up, you'll have to tell me how that's going, the workouts I mean.
