5. Do you get nervous before "meeting the parents?" Only if I’m with my children. Children will find a way to embarrass you. I promise you this. This is extremely bad when meeting the parents is a meal, too. I’m rather likable; too, til mom finds out how old I am and that I have three children!
6. What do you think of hot dogs? Two words: Hebrew National ~ Kosher! No crap! All Beef. Capt Johns Rolls a super plus.. toasted, too!
7. What's your favorite Christmas song? Hmmm, must we go here? There is this great CD of RM’s that sing a rendition of Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer, and one guy brings his young daughter, who sounds about four years old, and these are her responses: (used to laugh and call him names) “Like Loser”, (reindeer games)“Like Chutes and Ladders, Duck, Duck Goose, and Parcheesi!!”, (Santa came to say)“My Precious!”,(you’ll go down in history) “Like a light bulb” that my kids love so much and I love hearing them sing it over and over and it never gets boring! Especially their “MY Precious!”

11. What's your favorite piece of jewelry? *remind self to ask Jesse about focus stone.. * I love all my jewelry. I don’t own a lot, but what I have is dear to me. I have a paper ring made for me by a high school boyfriend. It resembles the school class ring I could never afford to have. I still have it! I only don’t have my first set of wedding rings because they were stolen! I’ve already blogged my claddaugh ring. I have this great silver ring that fell off my finger two weeks ago (lost ten more pounds).. it looks like someone stretched the sterling and dropped it and it shape is <3 like I have used online.. Sideways heart.. its so kewl. I have a sterling scroll pattern thumb ring that is the only piece of jewelry on my hands at the moment. I never thought myself to ever wear a ring on my thumb. That is so “my mom”. Anyway, I bought this ring on my way to the doctor’s one afternoon, on the fly, on sale at some clothing store, and it was too big. The receptionist said “put it on your thumb!” I told her I just couldn’t do that. I went back to exchange it for a smaller size and found my thumb ring!!!! I just love it. Thanks Leanna. Okay so then I have this pair of jade and sterling ear rings I Found at Target while on that camping trip, last Spring, that I needed for St. Patricks Day. I found this gorgeous matching butterfly/silver pendant on QVC! I’m almost done.. I have this magnetic necklace that I think really does help my neck pain sometimes, and I have these awesome self-made and gift given hand beaded anklets and bracelets.. I’ll blog them sometimes in the future. Hell, this is full of me Friday now! (this is a whole blog in itself if I don't shut up here!)
12. Do you like painkillers? Weed is an analgesic? I didn’t know that! Never been High. Live on pain killers.. the legal kind!
14. Do you have A.D.D? No

19. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink: Tea, Juice Blends, IBC
20. Current worry? Making a memorable Christmas for my Children with no way yet.
23. Current hate? Drama and Spam! I'm also very discontent that my eldest daughter isn't speaking to me, did not wish to come down for Thanksgiving, told me so, I told her I loved her and not to wait too long to regret this, she said "Ok, I love you too". Then today I find she's disconnected me from her Myspace! I think its because I tried to tell her about some boy connected to her that I was worried about and she then informed me she had recently gone out with him. His Myspace worried me. Her father was upset when he thought she had a photo of herself on it, as he misunderstood how I snagged those photos sent/uploaded by her friend.. but she does have a new photo up and mom is out.. so dad needs to know now. I don't want to be the bad guy but I'll do it for my children.

If I’m wearing it outside: Red or Beige. I love to wear white when I’m at home, on high thread count white sheets too.. I’m only spoiled with Down and expensive bedding.. its all about sleep I don’t get, right?
31. Would you be a pirate? No
33. What songs do you sing in the shower? Can’t think now that I’m singing “sing a song”. I love to sing. Its one of my favorite things to do. Lately I’d have to say its ta da again “If I lay here… If I just lay here.. Would you lie with me and just forget the world?” I just rented season one of Grey’s Anatomy and 1 and 2 of 5 of Season 2! I’d really like to see/beg/borrow anyone’s seasons of Gilmore Girls!!!! I’d like to start at the beginning and watch them all with my daughter.. but ouch at that sticker shock! I can’t find any downloads.. I even bought a subscription to find them.. no luck. Need to figure out that too.. where is that site?
34. What did you fear was going to get you at night as a child? Everything. If I wasn’t safe at Grandma’s house, my life was very unpredictable and it scared me to go to sleep and not know what might happen before dawn. I had moved in the middle of the night after trading “new friends” received as gifts with a friend, for the night, when i was eight.. Mine was a bear, her’s was a monkey. I still have that Monkey. I will always feel bad for never returning it. Wonder if my brother remembers its name? I can’t remember.
35. What's in your pockets right now? Air?
36. What was the last thing to make u laugh? These quizzes, tags!
38. Worst injury you've ever had? Yes, I agree.. my broken heart is the worst. AS for physical injuries.. well, I turned my foot over the last Saturday of my junior year, in the opening softball game! My whole Senior summer was spent elevated and crutched. It sucked. I took my finals with a wheelchair I thought Kurt would kill me in, even broke the splint on my leg. We had our first date that night too. I got him a pass from classes to come get me and take me to my next class fr finals. He ended up having a gf then.. but he called to have me take him to pick out his classes by the end of summer and he didn’t have that gf for a couple months by then.. it was bittersweet for a few months.. when I could walk again. I’ll blog our first date sometime soon.
I reinjured this same foot in the same place, about 1998, I think. I stepped off of a patio onto a stepping stone. I had done this a thousand and two times before. I planted that stepping stone! My left foot wobbled and twisted out from under me, the right foot did the same and there I was laying over a bush, in the grass, feeling like I'd been axed at both knees. I could feel nothing below my knees.
I was dropping off the children with their father to meet a friend for a movie as my boyfriend was working late that night. The children made a towel road for me to crawl back into the apartment when I could finally move. I could not support my left foot in the air at all to crawl. I knew something major had happened.. I'll blog this as its that big of a story.. needless to say, I had no medical insurance and my boyfriend was working for an ortho surgeon that night (on his home theatre) and he asked him what the cheapest route to go would be and the guy gave him his pager number. A week later, I couldn't get up the steps into this man's home, so he checked me out in his front yard, on those steps. He ordered x-rays at "doc in the box" (his words) and read them in his front yard. Left foot torn ligaments with bone chips/fragments.. broken foot! Right ankle sprained. Now who the hell walks and hurts both feet? You need at least one good one. I turned 30 in a wheelchair and cried through dinner because I was in so much pain. Should have had him write me a script.. learning lesson eight thousand and five?
40. How many TVs do you have in your house? Four? Matthew had to leave his in Virginia for now.. We have that many cell phones too, and no land line! Someone is always reachable.. in the house, out back, or plain not here!
41. Who is your loudest friend? Well Jesse says he’s his loudest so he must be mine, too, but I have not heard him.. hint hint.. I have free long distance dammit.
42. Who is your most silent friend? Ahmed Asker
43. Does someone have a crush on you? Yes
44. Do you wish on shooting stars? Yes, all the time.
45. What is your favorite book? Well.. Orel Hershiser’s Between the Lines and Mitch Albom’s The Five People You Meet in heaven! I have several "started" right now, so this may get added too soon.
46. What is your favorite candy? I firmly have this "adult candy bar vs child candy bar" law in my home. Adult candy includes: Lindt Lindor Truffles, Almond Roca (appropriately in a pink bag! but not as good as my homemade toffee), Ghirardelli Chocolate Squares with Caramel, etc. Everyone knows not to eat MY Candy, which is referred above as "adult". Its really just an unspoken rule! Adult chocolate is a perfect piece of sin!
Everyday candy includes: Payday, Spree or Jolly Ranchers when I’m reading. Even Starburst came out with a California flavor pack a few years ago that was so perfect. See that Cali girl in me will never die!!
Skor is preferred over Heath, if Ben & Jerry could get the memo! Red Vines !! In the West you find Red Vines in the movie theatres, in the South and east, where I am now, its icky other licorice! I love the mixed bag of mini's for a tiny chocolate treat. My favorite lately has been snickers.
I also adore salt water taffey that has no salt water in it whatsoever and never has! Anyone remember taffey pulls when you were growing up?
But I like the cookie candy bars.. Twix and Kit Kat and I misss terribly PB MAXX from the 80's, anyone remember that fantastic candy bar? Or Marathon? The braided caramel dipped in chocolate? Or Flicks? They were like large sized choclate drops that we bought at the drive-in movie in a tube shaped box! What about Abba Zabba? Was that a West Coast thing? It was peanut butter filled white taffey! Anyone remember these?
My grandmother used to love this one particular candy bar called U-NO. It was silken type chocolate dipped in chocolate. I thought it had disappeared but I found it near the Grand Canyon, in January 2000, and I bought a few bars to eat and one to put in Grandma's shadow box!
47. What song do you want played at your wedding? Jesse’s getting married again and so am I. I have no idea what song though.. depends on who I marry. Depends on if we dance and if we have a first dance.. ya know?
48. What song do you want played at your funeral? “In My Life” by the Beatles, but I’m very fond of Chantal Kreviazuk’s rendition from the Theme Song to the television show I miss, Providence.
49. What were you doing 12 AM last night? Walking in Blogland and chatting.
50. What was the first thing you thought of when you woke up? “Another day gone..”
OHHH all these changes and new features.. yippie joy yahoo can really blow some more crap at us to check out and never get out of beta?? I'm not sure I want to tag anything. Do you? I want to be able to mark individual blogs adult content.. like the one that necessitated them all go automaticaly. What's the use of any of "check this boxes" if they don't work?3
