Apr. 4, 2008 - A MEME

FINALLY!  I'm getting around to doing this meme. 

1. Were you named after anyone? No.

2. When was the last time you cried?  Wednesday night I burst into tears (happy ones!) when I found out that a good friend was pregnant.

3. Do you like your handwriting?  Mostly yes.

4. What is your favorite lunch meat?  Turkey.   Although for some odd reason when I'm pregnant I crave Pastrami.  And, no, this isn't an announcement.  I wish.

5. Do you have kids?  Three so far. 

6. If you were another person would you be friends with you?   Of course.  Please, who could  not love me?   I'm so charming.  (said completely tongue-in-cheek).  Seriously, probably, I would.  I have some good qualities but I know I can be aggravating some times for sure. 

7. Do you use sarcasm a lot?  I don't know if I'd say a lot.  Occasionally.

8. Do you still have your tonsils? No.

9. Would you bungee jump? Not in a million years, not for a million dollars, no how, no way, not an option.

10. What is your favorite cereal?  True confession time.  I know I'm supposed to like adult cereals.  You know, healthy ones like Special K, which is, by the way, a highly suspicious sort of breakfast fare.  Truthfully though?  What I really love is kid cereal.  Cocoa Krispies.  Cookie Crisp.  Cinnamon Toast Crunch.    Kip likes Cap'n Crunch with Crunch Berries.

11. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off? No.

12. Do you think you are strong?  I'm a (former) Marine.  Of course I am. 

13. What is your favorite ice cream?  Chocolate with peanut butter swirl from Baskin Robbins or Ben and Jerry's/

14. What is the first thing you notice about people?   How friendly, engaging they are or aren't.

15. Red or pink? Red

16. What is the thing that you like least about yourself? I am to quick to anger.  :( 

17. Who do you miss the most? Gramma.

19. What color pants and shoes are you wearing? Jeans and sneakers.

20. Have you ever re-gifted? Yes.  For our Circle 8 Christmas party.

21. What are you listening to right now?  Kids are all sleeping so the house is quiet. 

22. If you were a crayon what color would you be?  Red, of course.

23. Favorite smells? Leaves burning in the fall, gasoline...

24. Who was the last person you talked to on the phone? Paw Paw

25. Do you like the person who sent this to you? Of course!

26. Favorite sports to watch? Hockey

30. Favorite food?  Any sort of GOOD pasta and red sauce.  

31. Scary movies or happy endings? Happy Endings.  I have a vivid imagination + I've got the Fairchild paranoia so scary movies make it impossible for me to sleep.

32. Last movie you watched? I cannot even remember.  We've been out three times since Savvy was born.  Once to meet with our Financial Advisor, once for a Sunday School Christmas Party and once to pay our taxes.  I don't think these count much.   :( 

33. What color shirt are you wearing? red.

34. Summer or winter?  Both.  It's spring that I'm not fond of.  LOVE fall. 

35. Hugs or kisses? Depends on who's giving them.  ;)

36. Favorite dessert?  Chocolate.  OH- or, homemade Apple pie made with apples from NY.  I only get one a year but oh, the mighty deliciousness of it all.

39. What book are you reading now?  Teach Them Diligently by Lou Priolo.   I'm about to start "Raising Godly Tomatoes" with Christina and Suzanne (we're reading it together) and "Heaven at Home" for bookclub next month. 

40. What is on your mousepad?  I'm not using one.

41. What did you watch on tv last night?  CSI

42. Favorite sound?  Savvy laughing at Kip.  They have this kicking thing they do every night and she will laugh so hard, it is just hysterical.

43. Rolling stones or Beatles?  Beatles.

44. What is the furthest you have been from home?  Europe.

45. Do you have a special talent? I can't think of anything.  (I just asked Kip- he said cooking, raising kids and organization.  awww- he gets MAJOR points for that!)

46. Where were you born? Watertown, NY.
