Mind hump

from bdi

Today we celebrate "Act Just Like Your Mom Day." Okay, for some of us that thought is unimaginable. Fortunately or unfortunately, whether it be the way we cook, act, react, or a habit we've developed, most of us do something like our mothers. What traits do you have that is just like or similar to your mother.

God forbid. I sense that I am almost as lazy as my mom, dangerously close to being as big a martyr as she is, and prone to repeated momisms like "Your face will freeze that way!!" sigh

Now that your minds are warmed up, let's hump, hump, HUMP IT UP!
01. If you had a digital marquee on your forehead what three messages might run first thing in the morning, midday and at night? Are there other messages you might program into the marquee so that you can flash that message at a moment's notice?

Morning: OK, what needs to be done today? And where's my bagel?
Midday: This is the longest day in history!!
Night: I really should be DOING something, not just sitting here reading/watching TV/blogging...
Expedient Message: Cranky. Stay away. Dangerous.

02. H&R Block is currently running a commercial that focuses on "do-overs". Tell us about something in your life that you'd like to "do-over".

The whole weird thing with Kenny P my freshman year of college. What the hell was I thinking?? Oy. Oy oy oy.

03. There is a special language of flowers -- a red rose denotes love, a daisy denotes innocence or faith. Follow the link to The Language of Flowers and, using the list, create a bouquet that best reflects your character. (In the best interest of time, list the name of the flower and the trait it represents)

Chosen for both the "meaning" and because I like these flowers/plants. You can decide which is which....
