Reforming Motherhood

Jun. 21, 2006 - Amy's been tagged...

...but she's still driving back from Oregon.  And she's not really into these kinds of things, so I'll do it for her.

 

-Mike

 

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, and find line 4.

... your cooperative extension office, land-grant...

(from the Private Applicator Pesticide Education Manual; I need to be able to use the strong stuff to keep up w/ our land, so I'm studying up for the test)

 

2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What can you touch? 
An unopened box of printer ink, my brief case, the binder for my paintball field LLC.

 

3. What is the last thing you watched on TV? 
Do movies count?  Last night the boys and I watched The Princess Bride and stayed up way past their normal bed times. 


4. Without looking, guess what time it is. 
10PM

5. Now look at the clock. What is the actual time? 
10:23


6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear? 
The heater or air conditioner.  Probably the latter, as it was pretty hot today.

 

7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing? 
I mowed the lawn from about 9 to 9:30.

 

8. Before you started this survey, what did you look at? 

I checked up on how my fantasy baseball team is doing.

 

9. What are you wearing? 
Brown work jeans, blue shirt from Costco.

 

10. Did you dream last night? 
I probably did, but I can’t remember any of them.

 

11. When did you last laugh? 
I was just talking on the phone w/ Amy and laughed about how Stacy guessed right that she wouldn't like this questionaire thing.  i send her funny forwards from work ALL the time and she never reads any of them.  If it has "FW" in the subject line, I think she just deletes it.

 

12. What is on the walls of the room you are in? 
Red paint (very similar to Stacy's).  Black and white pictures of us and our children, most taken by my sister.  I only count 10 though.


13. Seen anything weird lately? 
yeah.  Someone linked me to this.

 

 

14. What do you think of this quiz? 
Well, I'm far more willing than Amy is.

15. What is the last film or video you saw? 
Princess Bride, as I mentioned earlier, last night. 

 16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy? 

Land.  Maybe a bigger tractor and some more implements.  


17. Tell me something about you that I do not know. 
Paintball is my hobby and I'm way serious about it.  I have a professional level course, complete with netting and inflatable bunkers (just like on ESPN!) in my backyard.

 

And my neighbors aren't too fond of it.

 

18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do? 
Hard to argue with Stacy's...  Assuming hers got done first, I'd probably scrap the US Dept of Education.  It's not very far-reaching, but it's certainly necessary.

 

19. Do you like to dance? 
Not really.  But Amy and I will swing a bit at weddings and stuff.

 

20. Comment to George Bush: 

Ignore the haters.

 

21. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her? 
We would have called her Zoe, but that's not one of our names anymore.

 

22. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him? 
Goofball?

 

23. Would you ever consider living abroad? 

For a few seconds.

 

24. What do you want God to say to you when you reach the pearly gate?

"Sure took ya long enough to get here!!" 

 

25. 5 people who must also do this quiz on THEIR blog:

Amy wouldn't pass this on to anyone.  Just not her thing.

Ahhhh Amy this one wasn't nearly as corney as some. I am with you on the FW's. Thanks Mike for playing along.
Can't wait until my boy's are old enough for a friendly game of family paintball. Right now it's marshmellow shooters or sling shots with frozen marshmellows.
