All the OT from the last two weeks has caught up with me. My brain refuses to process any real thoughts.
I swiped this meme from a 2006 Bitchypoo entry.
How many keys are on your keychain?
Let's see...my car key, Bill, Shelby & M's extra car keys. The never used house key (we rarely lock our door, except at night.) The key to the Admin and my office. Seven?
What curse word do you use the most?
"Shit" seems to be the one that slips from my lips most often. Throw in an occasional “Fuck” and that pretty much sums up my work day.
Do you own an iPod?
Yes I do. I listen to it as much as I can while working. MH listens to a radio and when I can't stand her music anymore or need to REALLY concentrate on what I'm working on...the earplugs go in.
What time is your alarm clock set for?
During the school year? 5am. During the summer? 6am.
How many suitcases do you own? Three or four. We don't travel often unless we're taking the fifth wheel trailer.
Do you wear flip-flops even when it’s cold outside?
I don’t wear flip-flops, period. I can’t stand things between my toes.
Would you rather take the picture or be in the picture?
Take the picture!
What was the last movie you watched?
War Inc. with John and Joan Cuzack. It was quite bizarre and truly not very good. We finished it because I love me some John Cusack. (sp?)
What CD is currently in your CD player?
I don't have a CD player. I listen to my Ipod almost exclusively.
Has anyone told you a secret this week?
Yes, several.
What did you have for dinner last night?
Shelby & M made Hamburger Helper. It was...filling.
Do you wear hoodies often?
I have a hoodie sweatshirt jacket that I wear at work almost every day. When the outside temp is below freezing, it never seems to get very warm inside.
Can you whistle?
Just well enough to call the dogs.
Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?
I can't remember. I'm guessing it was an employee calling me with a question.
What is your favorite ride at an amusement park?
None. I don't do amusement park rides.
Do you think people talk about you behind your back?
I know they do. I hear them. It's usually someone I see out and about that doesn't really know me well. I hear them whisper to whomever they're with "That's the one I was telling you about. Her son died in a car accident while he was away at college." Small town gossip....
What area code are you in?
406
What is your biggest regret?
Too personal...way too personal
What movie(s) do you know every line to?
Forrest Gump and The Princess Bride
When was your last plane ride? May 2006 - we flew to OK for Mike and Lindsay's wedding.
How many chairs are at your dining room table? Four.
Can you speak any languages other than English?
I can speak/understand just enough Spanish to help out if our school's intrepretor(sp?) isn't available.
What color are your bedroom walls? The same color as the rest of the house...a very light beige. Yawn!
When was the last time you cried?
Wednesday morning.
Do you have a desktop computer or a laptop?
We have both, but I use the laptop 99.9% of the time.
Which do you make: wishes or plans?
It's more like prayer requests and plans. Of course, neither always come to be.
Can you skip rocks?
Yes. I taught all 3 of my children how to skip rocks.
Who was your favorite teacher? Mr. Markham. He was my 4th grade teacher. He took an interest in this "poor little orphan" and kept in touch with me all through my school years. He gave me a puppy for my birthday in 4th grade.
What two personality traits attract you most?
A sense of humor and the ability to take ownership of their actions.
What two personality traits do you most dislike?
Passive-aggressiveness and self-pitying "victims."
What is your mother’s hometown? I have no idea. (She died when I was six years old.) I know she was born in CA, because when Shelby was born, my Grama made a big deal about her being a "3rd genderation Californian."
How many hours of sleep do you need to function?
I'm one of those people who really NEEDS at least 8 hours of sleep to function well. On the weekends I try to get 9-10 hours. Plus naps! There are few thing I love more than a good nap.
Do you eat breakfast daily?
Yes, every day. On the weekends I may not eat it until almost noon.
Describe your typical weekday with three adjectives.
Lately? Long. Busy. Exhausting.
Did you ever get in trouble for talking in class?
Sometimes. I was more likely to get in trouble for reading a novel rather than my schoolbook in class.
What is your favorite fruit? Watermelon. I'm a true Okie.
Do you believe in life on other planets? To be honest, I don't give it enough thought to believe or not believe.
Who was the last person to piss you off?
MH and her loser daughter, who came to our office yesterday and stayed for TWO HOURS. She's loud and obnoxious. I finally took my work to another desk in a different office. I was annoyed with the daughter, but I was LIVID with MH for allowing her to stay.
What do you tell yourself when times get hard?
Breathe...just breathe.
Would you ever sky dive?
Not a chance!

I start out on my stomach, but usually wake up on my left side.
What character from a movie most reminds you of yourself?
I've been told I'm very much like the stepmother in the movie Juno.
Have you ever bid for something on ebay?
I used to. As with most things, at first I couldn't leave it alone. Then it began to bore me.
Do you enjoy giving hugs? Giving? Yes. Receiving? Not so much. I don't like being touched by people I don't know.
Would you consider yourself to be fashionable?
When Shelby & M approve my outfit, I feel VERY fashionable.
Does it annoy you when someone says they’ll call but never do?
It makes CRAZY!
What books, if any, have made you cry?
I don't read tear jerkers. I cry too often as it is.
Do you think you’re attractive? Sometimes. Other times I think I'm a big fat cow. Isn't that normal?
What are you allergic to?
Dust, dander, pollen. I pretty much sniffle 24/7/365. It's VERY attractive.
If you were born the opposite sex, what would your name have been?
Not a clue. In a family of 11 cousins, only 2 of us are girls. I'm pretty sure all the good boy names were already taken.
