About me

I found this last week and pasted it in here...and forgot to paste in where I got it...sigh.

1. Nervous habits? Nails and cuticles, meet teeth. I've also rediscovered leg jiggling in the past couple of weeks.

2. Are you double jointed? Far from it.

3. Can you roll your tongue? Nope. Shallow gene pool for me. Both Sparky and Beast can.

4. Can you raise one eyebrow at a time? Nope, try as I might.

5. Can you blow spit bubbles? Yep. But I don't. Ick.

6. Can you cross your eyes? Yes, but it makes my eyes hurt and gives me a headache, so I don't.

7. Tattoos? Nope. Not likely.

8. Piercings? One hole in each ear. That's it.

9. Do you make your bed daily? Who's asking? If it's my mom, or Sparky, yes. Realistically, I frequently just pull the bedspread and sheet up, giving it a lick and a promise as my mom always says.

CLOTHES
10. Which shoe goes on first? Typically, the right one. Have you ever tried going out of order?? Talk about a strange feeling!

11. Speaking of shoes, have you ever thrown one at anyone? I'm not a thrower in most times, so no. The thought of throwing shoes...no, they are a little dangerous.

12. On the average, how much money do you carry? I usually start the week with about $200, because I pay cash most of the time for groceries and lunch throughout the week.

13. What jewelry do you wear 24/7? Wedding/engagement rings and another ring on my right hand (though right now it's getting reset because the sapphire was loose).

14. Favorite piece of clothing? Jeans and T shirts. I'm totally not fussy about the shirts, but the jeans have to be comfy.

FOOD
15. Do you twirl your spaghetti or cut it? Twirl, mostly. If it's extremely long, I'll cut it up a bit, but usually not. Then again, I don't eat spaghetti often, unless I made it; when I make spaghetti, I break the noodles up so that it's less of an issue.

16. Have you ever eaten Spam? Yep. I used to love it, when I was quite a lot younger.

17. Do you use extra salt on your food? I rarely use salt on or in anything, except french fries. :-)

18. How many cereals in your cabinet? I think we've got maybe three boxes, for when we have overnight guests. We rarely eat cereal.

19. What's your favorite beverage? Diet Dr. Pepper. Water. Stoli. Gewurtztraminer.

20. What's your favorite fast food restaurant? Taco Bell.

21. Do you cook? With poor grace and as little attention as possible.

GROOMING
22. How often do you brush your teeth? Twice a day, pretty religiously.

23. Hair drying method? Mostly air-dried, with a finishing blowout.

24. Have you ever colored/highlighted your hair? Regularly. I'm not a redhead, and there's a lotta gray not showing these days.

MANNERS

25. Do you swear? Of course. Haven't you read my blog before??

26. Do you ever spit? Not intentionally, no.

FAVORITE
27. Animal? Wolves

28. Food? Just about anything sweet.

29. Month? August. October.

30. Day of the week? Monday.

31. Cartoon? Mighty Mouse when I was a kid. Now I'm kinda partial to the roadrunner.

35. Sport? Love to watch football. Love to play mini golf. :-)

38. Thing to do in the summer? Wear shorts, not wear socks, sweat (yes, I love to sweat, within reason).

39. Thing to do in the autumn? Go for walks, plant spring bulbs, enjoy the sunshine and changing leaves.

40. Thing to do in the winter? Get fat, watch snow, snuggle under blankets, have fires in the fireplace.

42. Person you talk most on the phone with? Beast.

43. Reading? The Boy Who Was Raised as a Dog : And Other Stories from a Child Psychiatrist's Notebook : What Traumatized Children Can Teach Us About Loss, Love and Healing by Bruce Perry and Maia Szalavitz and Mothers and Sons, by Colm Tóibín.

44. Do you regularly check yourself out in store windows/mirrors? If I notice, but I don't make a habit of it.

DUMB
48. What's your sleeping position? On my side, usually my left side.

49. Even in hot weather do you use a blanket? No, just a sheet.

50. Do you snore? I've been told I do when I'm really tired.

51. Do you sleepwalk? I have, but not for many, many years.

52. Do you talk in your sleep? I've been known to do that. Beast hates when I do, because it's usually not good stuff...like shouting "Fire!"

53. Do you sleep with stuffed animals? Not anymore.

54. How about with the light on? I can; it doesn't bother me at all. I usually leave the light on if I go to sleep before Beast comes to bed.

55. Do you fall asleep with the TV or radio on? Unfortunately, this is becoming more common....

56. Last interesting person you met? I meet far too many interesting people at work; 'interesting' is overrated.
