A meme.. 'cause I've got nothing today..

I have a very obsessive personality, so there are usually a few going on.. right now, it's online scrabble, books about the civil rights movement, and shopping online for spring clothes.

2. What’s a good coffee place?
My kitchen! Actually I hate to say it, but I love Starbucks. (I know, they are taking over the world.) But, if I see an independent coffee shop, I ALWAYS stop.

3. Who was the last person that you hugged?
My pug, Dexter

4. Do you nap a lot?
Oh God, I adore napping. Every weekend I have my Sunday nap and it freaking ROCKS!


5. Tonight, what’s for dinner?
Crap, I don't know.. am I suppossed to plan that stuff out ahead of time??

6. What was the last thing that you bought?
People Style Magazine and a pack of Reese Peices, cause I spend my money wisely.

7. What is your favorite weather?
I love a nice snowy day. I love it when we are "snowed in" and can't go anywhere!

8. Tell us something about one blogger who you think will play this week?
I have no idea who will play along.. but those who don't will suffer long and painful torture. (you will be forced to watch reruns of Macgyver)

9. If you were given a free house that was fully furnished, where in the world would you like it to be?
Um, where I live. Duh.

10. Name three things that you could not live without.
My family, my pug, and candy.

11. What would you like in your hands right now?
Oh, I know what you want me to say, and I'm not going to say it. You filthy perverts.


12. What’s one of your guilty pleasures?
Rocking out to 80's songs with hubby in the car. We do some awesome choreography and there is a lot of "pass the mike" going on.

13. What would you change or eliminate about yourself?
I am a hypochodriac... big time.
Here is a link to emphasize that fact.

14. As a child, what type of career did you want?
I always dreamed of being a writer. I used to write stories for my parents and then for my friends as I got older. For awhile, in High School, I gave up the dream and decided to be a preschool teacher. But then I learned that I hate kids. Ok, wait. That sounded bad. I hate ugly, bratty kids. There that sounds better.

Ambition.. I seem to have none lately.

That one day my daughter's stuffed animal collection will come to life and kill us all in a bloody massacre. Well that, and spiders.

18. What’s the best movie that you’ve seen recently?
Hmm... it's a tie between Edward Penishands and Breast Side Story. Both cinematic masterpieces, the acting superb. Although I must say, the camera work during the love scenes was very intense.

19. What’s your favorite book from the past year?
Um... don't ask me that... that's too hard. Fine, if I have to choose, this one.

20. Is there a comfort food from your childhood that you still enjoy?
Um, yes... all comfort foods. But especially the fatty, cheesy, greasy ones.

Manic Monday

I have had a whole lotta nothing to blog about lately..so I'm doing some meme's to try and kick start this brain of mine!


What gives you hope?
My daughter gives me hope. I like to think that if we created something as amazing as her, then I must be doing something right.

How often do you get your haircut? Describe your worst haircut.
Ok, first of all, I have to explain that I have some "personal space" isssues. I don't like people all "up in my bid-ness" . I don't like strangers close to me. I know, it's weird. I should probably seek therapy. That said, my last haircut was..... October!! And my mom did it! I am growing it out now though... so, that's a good excuse right??

What's your most treasured piece of jewelry? Why?
I am sure alot of people say this, but I really don't get attached to physical things. I know, I know... but it's true. I don't keep alot of "things" around me. I don't even really take great care of the things I do have around. I like to think that the memories are important and not the actual object. I tend to throw everything away. Anyway, getting off subject here... I guess my most prized peice of jewlery would be my hubby's wedding ring. I wear it on my wedding ring finger instead of my set. My set is worn out. This is the original ring we got him, which is thick and braided. (looks really cool) and he couldn't wear it around machinery we was working on. We got him a plain band, and I took to wearing the old one. It's big on me, but I like it! Makes me think of him when I look at it.

Now, go do a manic monday meme for yourself!!!

Friday Fragments

I haven't done this in awhile.. so here goes:

The Hubster is sick, sick, sick. Poor guy looked like hell last night but he got up and went to work today. I wish he would just stay home and stay in bed!

I still haven't bought gifts for my parents or my brother and his wife. They all said they wanted gift cards, so...

Hubby brought me home the other pair of sketchers clogs I wanted! Here they are. I've got dark brown and black.. and they are deliciously warm! yay for hubbies!

Ros busted open her lip yesterday at school. They were playing a game where they have to put their head down really fast on the desk and she smashed her lip into her teeth. And there was blood.. lots of blood. Thank goodness she did better than I would have. I faint at the thought of blood!

This weekend is baking weekend... urgh.. not into it this year.. But I'll fake it for Ros!

If you want to play along, go to Half Past Kissing Time!
