1. Name one person who made you laugh last night?
LJ, copying his father: “It puts the Joe Dirt in the hole.”
2. What were you doing at 0800? Sleeping. {{{shrug}}} I either set my alarm wrong or turned it off in my sleep. Made for a quick morning!
3. What were you doing 30 minutes ago?
Hell if I know. I can’t keep up on what I was doing five minutes ago, let alone 30. Some random computer thing, probably.
4. What happened to you in 2006?
2006? Hmmmm. Such a blur. Let me think about that one. I took a new job. That happened. Oh, and I went to Kennywood Park in Pittsburgh for the first time. I liked that. And I saw Johnny Mathis in concert, and I cried all the way through one of his songs while I was looking at Jon, who was also crying and holding my hand. It was beautiful.
5. What was the last thing you said out loud? “Okay” (In response to a project I’m working on.)
6. How many beverages did you have today? Two-and-a-half. Two cups of coffee and a half of a glass of water.
7. What color is your hairbrush? Tortoise.
8. What was the last thing you paid for? Clothes and a book at Toys R Us.
9.Where were you last night? Home. Playing with the kids, reading books, doing laundry, getting ready for today, cooking dinner, eating dinner, catching glimpses of Jurassic Park between chores
10. What color is your front door? What color is my front door?! Observant, aren’t I? I think it’s blue.
11. Where do you keep your change? I haven’t changed in many years. I probably won’t be changing soon. I’m stubborn that way.
12. What’s the weather like today? Too damn cold. And windy. I hate wind.
13. What’s the best ice-cream flavor? Whatever the favorite flavor of the person who is eating it is. Duh.
14. What excites you? Oh, geeze. What doesn’t excite me? Taxes. Taxes don’t excite me. But getting the tax refund does. Baklava excites me. Jon excites me. Thinking of going to Florida excites me. There are just too many different avenues this could take, folks. I’d better stop here.
15. Do you want to cut your hair? Not particularly, and I definitely don’t want to cut it myself.
16. Are you over the age of 25? Fortunately, and unfortunately, yes.
17. Do you talk a lot?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA! Funny question. Next.
18. Do you watch the O.C.? No. But I watch OCD a lot.
19. Do you know anyone named Steven? I do! One Steven I know taught me how to play craps in Vegas last year. It was AWESOME! We were laughing today about asking for craps money for Christmas. Only 12 weeks left, folks. I am definitely bringing more than $20 this year.
20. Do you make up your own words? Sometimes. But under pressure I can’t come up with any of the funny words I’ve made up. Damn.
21. Are you a jealous person? Sometimes. Who’s asking?
22. Name a friend whose name starts with the letter ‘A’. Aunt Jemima?
23. Name a friend whose name starts with the letter ‘K’. Apparently I have no friends.
24. Who’s the first person on your received call list? Aunt Sandy. Hey, that starts with an “A”! Kind of.
25. What does the last text message you received say? “Passed!” (from my best girlfriend who just finished her jet training school.)
26. Do you chew on your straw? No. Why would I do that? Okay, fine. Only when I’m trying to flirt.
27. Do you have curly hair? Not curly. But not straight, either. I’m stuck with that nasty can’t-quite-make-up-its-mind hair.
28. Where’s the next place you’re going to? lunch
29. Who’s the rudest person in your life?
Isn’t it nice that I can’t even think of a rude person? I can think of two very hurtful people — so that’s obnoxious, but rude — not so much — even with all the abuse I’ve taken the last couple of years, I can’t really think that it’s been done in a rude way. Is that possible? Well mannered abuse. Yeah, that’s what I’ve taken.
30. What was the last thing you ate?
A chocolate chip granola bar. Yum. And before that . . . BAKLAVA!
31. Will you get married in the future?
What a question! That’s like asking me if I’ll be hit by a car or win the lottery. I’m still young, folks. Anything could happen. I know that I definitely like being married more than I like being single — depending, of course, on the person to whom I am married. If I could have another marriage like this one, I would definitely do it again.
32. What’s the best movie you’ve seen in the past 2 weeks?
Dial M for Murder
33. Is there anyone you like right now?
A whole slew of people.
34. When was the last time you did the dishes?
Dishes? BWAHAHAHAHAHA! I scoff at dishes. Is it Saturday? If it’s not, you can be relatively sure that I’m not doing dishes.
35. Are you currently depressed?
Nope. THANK GOD AND ALL HIS HEAVENLY ANGELS!
36. Did you cry today?
I actually did tear up a little when Denise enthused about passing her check ride. My little ol’ heart just swelled with pride!
37. Why did you answer and post this?
Because I have tremendous respect for Ian, and it was fun.
If you are so inclined, feel free to cut and paste. It is a jolly use of 10 minutes or so.
