But it's not REALLY twenty. It's more like, I dunno, 30 or so. I swiped this from Adam, which is what I do when I can't think of something to write because I had a day that was just so, so brutal - well, I promised not to talk about it and I have no desire to drag you all through the muck that was this Monday. (Besides, I swipe from everyone, not just Adam. Swipe it from me, link it up and I'll come visit.)
Where is my Saturday night when I need it???
1. Do you have any scars? If so, pick one and explain how you got it.
I have a 3 inch scar on my right upper arm. It's red and puckery and I joke people that it's a scar from a knife fight that I was involved in during a drunken bar brawl. In actuality, it's my first - but by no means last - melanoma excision. It was a stage 2 and it was a beaut.
Pictures of my family. Dust.
3. Do you snore, grind your teeth, or talk in your sleep?
I snore lightly and grind my teeth. I'm also very high maintenance when it comes to sleep. I like it cold, quiet and very dark. Much like a vampire.
4. What type of music do you listen to?
I listen to lots of stuff. Recently added to the playlist - Firework by Katy Perry, Glitter in the Air by Pink, We Made You by Eminem, Born this way by Lady Gaga, Remember the Name by Fort Minor and Here I come by Game Theory. I'm alllll over the place.
5. What time were you born?
9:44 p.m.
6. What do you want more than anything right now?
To be able to pay all my bills and have cash left over. To know the design of my next tattoo. To know if I'll make black belt.
7. What do you miss?
My sanity and the civility and humor that kids lose when they become teens.
8. What is/are your most prized possession(s)?
My iPhone. My computer.
9. How tall are you?
I’m 5'5" and 2/3 of an inch.
10. Do you get claustrophobic?
I do at night. I can't stand to sleep in a "spooning" position or wrapped up with someone. I feel like I can't breathe.
11. Do you get scared in the dark?
Not usually. Depends on where I am, though. I definitely do not sleep outside because I have no idea who is looking at me - and will NOT leave the blinds up at night for that same reason.
12. Who was the last person to make you cry?
Probably a family member.
13. What’s your worst fear?
Not doing everything that I want to do before I die.
14. What kind of hair/eye color do you like on people who you’re attracted to?
Dark hair. Never have had any attraction towards blonde guys. Mostly, though, I'm more attracted to someone who treats people nicely - which lets out an entire age bracket of guys. I'm sure you know the age bracket to which I refer...
15. Where can you see yourself proposing?
Never going to get married again. So this one is immaterial.
16. Do you like coffee or energy drinks?
All together now - c-o-f-f-e-e.
17. What is your favorite pizza topping?
Supreme with no pepperoni. Can't STAND the stuff. Otherwise tomato.
18. If you could eat anything right now, what would it be?
Ravioli with bolognese sauce. Good garlic bread. A big salad. Mixed drink the size of my head.
19. What is your favorite color?
Black.
20. Have you ever eaten a goldfish?
Um, no. No. And thanks for ruining the appetite I was working up with question 18.
21. What was the first meaningful gift you’ve ever received?
I have no idea. I have a lousy memory. Definitely not the days of the week underpants one of my parents friends gave me when I was about 13 or so. Skeevy.
22. Do you have a crush?
A crush? I'm not 12 any more. (Also not answering this. Hmmm. Maybe I AM 12 again...)
23. Are you double jointed?
My elbows and my fingers. I'm hyperextended in my knees.
24. What is your favorite clothing brand?
Gap works well for me.
25. Who is your favorite female/male celebrity?
I don't think about that kind of stuff.
26. Do you have a pet right now?
No.
27. What kind is it?
Non existant.
28. Would you fall in love knowing that the person is leaving?
Some of these questions are too twisted for color tv.
I skipped the next three because, hello, they were dumb. And I have no patience for dumb tonight. Maybe I should have skipped this meme.
32. What is your favorite quote?
Either Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength OR Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
33. What is your favorite place?
Cabo San Lucas.
I'll do it for tomorrow!

Cute - but I'm too tired to get into the whole thing. I'll try again tomorrow.

You'd never get married again?
Posted by: Avitable | February 22, 2011 at 12:38 AM
LOL I think its funny that you read Avitable. He's toned it down a lot in the last few years but he used to be rather... controversial. Haha. I should check back in over there... I know you don't want to talk about your Monday (even though I really want to hear about it I don't want to get in your business like that... wait, yes I do) but I hope the storm has blown over and all is as well as can be expected at your house again. I am not looking forward to the day my littles become teenagers (esp. my middle child, he is moody enough now!) Just last weekend we all sat on the couch tangled up in a big bunch of little boy arms and legs and stinky heads and watched The Neverending Story together with the baby in the middle all cute and big-eyed and squeaky and I thought about how these days are numbered... *sniff* I try to remember those times when we are dealing with the little kid difficulties of pants-pooping and temper tantrums and running off in the store, etc.

1) Way too many from surgeries. Main scar is from three c sections. However it became quite useful when also used for appendix, hysterectomy and then later ovary removal. It think it has served it's purpose and nothing else can come out since not much is left to remove. TMI I know...
2) Icon of Mary, a photo of a garden bench and a picture of Neuschwantein Castle taken while visiting Germany. My daughter took the picture since I couldn't make myself go far enough out on the bridge to take a good picture.
3)snore
4) almost anything but rap
5) 5pm
6) To see my new grandaughter who hasn't been born yet.
7) Having all my children live close by. I live in Washington, child one lives in New York, child two lives in my town, child three lives in Milwaukee.
9) 5 feet
10)No
11)No
12) My sister after learning that my nephew has brain cancer again.
13) That my nephew won't beat the cancer again.
14) Dark hair
16) Mochas
17) Olives, pineapple and canadian bacon
19) Blue
21) Promise ring that my husband gave me in high school. His uncle said it looked like a weak promise but we've been together for 41 years and married for 37. I lost the ring but a ring in my mother's jewelry box looked just like it but my sister insisted it was Mom's ring. My sister has it now. But my Dad gave me my Mom's wedding ring so I didn't argue the point. I gave my daughter my Mom's ring several years ago.
26)Yes
27) a rabbit (was my daughter's rabbit but my daughter moved to a different state) Three cats. The 12 year old crabby cat is my daughter's cat from when she was in high school. Two brother cats that are very friendly that are almost 4 years old that I picked out from the pound.
33)I love Hawaii and New York. But my favorite place of all is Home.
