Meme #4867

Since I never finished my '100 things about me' here's a meme for your viewing pleasure....not that you don't already know more information about me than you ever wanted to....

  1. What color are your kitchen plates? Paper. Unless you're coming for dinner, then I'll pull out the heavy duty plastic ones...they come in different colors.
  2. What book are you currently reading? The Historian.
  3. What's on your mouse pad? A reminder that my employer is wonderful. Hmmm, I bet the 650 people laid off last week would beg to differ.
  4. The Thing You Look Forward To the Most? The day my mom finally stops referring to me as the 'unmarried, childless one'.
  5. Your favorite Smell? Fresh brewed coffee on a cold morning. Oh wait...fresh brewed coffeel and the ocean on a bright sunny day. Even sweeter if you're on vacation!
  6. Your least favorite smell? This is a tie between Pachouli, nursing homes and that thing in the bottom of the garbage can. Why is it that something always ends up decaying in the bottom of the garbage can? And mine's so tall I have to climb inside to retrieve it. Yeeeeeck!
  7. What's the first thing you think when you wake up in the morning? Weekdays: 5. more. minutes. On Weekends: aaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh *rolls back over*.
  8. Biggest Fear? Not being around to see Parker grow up.
  9. What's most important in life? Having fun.
  10. Chocolate or Vanilla? Depends is it good chocolate or just ok chocolate? If it's good chocolate I'll take it. If it tastes like a chemical experiment gone awry...I'll take the vanilla.
  11. Do you like to drive fast? Yes. Unfortunately in Atlanta you can't do that without running over 120 cars in front of you.
  12. Favorite TV show? Right this second....Ghost Hunters on Sci-Fi. It may not be real but it scares the poop out of me (which I enjoy). Or maybe Gray's Anatomy or Heroes or Ugly Betty. Is it me or did TV get better this year??????
  13. Do you sleep with a stuffed animal? No, but when I was little I slept with a stuffed elephant that had a pink ball glued on the end of his trunk. I got him at the circus. I still have him somewhere but the pink ball has fallen off.
  14. Storms - scary or not? Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease. I love a good storm. I'll walk outside and watch the sky for hours. Until the tornado siren goes off...then you'll find me under the bed. Been there. Done that. Not fun.
  15. First Car? 1976 Ford Mustang. It was white with blue pleather interior. I bought it myself. My friends made fun of me because it wasn't new. They had no appreciation for cars. hmpf.
  16. If you could meet one person? Lee Harvey Oswald...in the time between the assassination and his own death.
  17. What's your sign? Will work for sex. Oh, THAT sign...Capricorn.
  18. If you could have any job, what would it be? I'd really love it if someone would pay me to blog all day, or investigate conspiracy theories, or ooooooooooooo be one of the people on the Travel Channel who review hotels and resorts for a living. Now THAT would be fun.
  19. If you could have any color hair, what would it be? Once you start seeing gray, you don't care as long as it's any color BUT gray.
  20. Is the glass half full or half empty? Actually, it's completely empty right now. Time for more coffee.
  21. Ketchup or Mustard? Ketchup on fries. Mustard on everything else.
  22. What's under your bed? I watched Halloween, Final Destination and Dawn of the Dead last night so, of course, right now Michael Myers, the Grim Reaper and a flesh eating zombie are under my bed.
  23. What screensaver is on your computer right now? A picture from the Kenny Chesney concert taken with my crappy camera. I hope Santa brings me a new one this year. I've been very good. ;) *note to Santa: forget the camera...just bring Kenny*
  24. Do you have any pets? I time-share a miniature schnauzer with a friend. Yes, that means I dog sit for vacations and whenever the dog needs a break from the 2 year old.
  25. The best place you've ever been? Grandma's house :)

1. I have paper-colored walls, myself.

2. Re-reading Analyzing Popular Music.

3. They actually have to remind you of this?

4. You're willing to have kids to hear her stop saying that?

5. Coffee's a good smell. I'll give you that.

5. Had you spent any time in New Jersey, you'd probably have more imagination about what constitutes a bad smell.

6. The American dream: weekends.

7. Where are you going?

8. Right priority.

9. Chocolate is like sex. When it's good, it's really good. When it's bad, I choose vanilla.

11. If you're really addicted to Ghostbusters you must be pretty well cleaned out by now.

12. I hope this wasn't a male stuffed elephant.

13. I like a good storm when I don't have to drive in it.

14. 1972 Olds Vistacruiser station wagon.

15. That would be the perfect time to meet Oswald.

16. My apartment needs painting.

17. Perhaps we could partner.

18. I can imaine you with shocking pink locks. Either that or torquoise.

19. Caffiene: the fifth major food group.

20. Hate both.

21. You must be comfortable with these monsters if you crave five more minutes with them every weekday.

22. "Santa Kidnaps C&W Star. Film at 11:00."

23. Time sharing a dog? Hmm.

24. That's a nice place. Really. I know exactly where your grandmother lives, too: over the river and through the woods.

Isn't The Historian about the woman who find evidence about Dracula? I've been wanting to get that book...but wasn't sure I'd like it. Is it good?


And my first car was a 1978 Ford Mustang! I loved that car!!!! :)

RG - I've loved scary movies since I was little. Unfortunately, none of my friends share my love so I usually watch them alone...and then sleep with the bathroom light on!

Gary - Oooo, I love a good storm at night! Whew, glad it's just you under the bed! And yes...Grandma's house rules!

X - A Vistacruiser? No! Really? I can picture you and 10 of your closest friends cruising the Cincy streets! Hmmm, apartment needs painting, huh? ;)

PQ - I just started reading it but yes, it has something to do with the legend of Dracula and Vlad the Impaler. I'm only about 30 pages into it so I haven't figured it out yet but it's very well written. If it's good I'll mail it to you.

Related to that half empty, half full question...one of my favorite far side cartoons was related to that. It states, there are four types of people. Then there are four pictures, each one labled as follows with a different person reacting to a glass that is half filled with water:

a) The glass is half full

b) The glass is half empty

c) Where's the rest of my drink?

d) Hey, I ordered a cheeseburger!

blueyes - Parker is my best friend's 2 y.o. daughter. I never knew you could love someone so much. :)

JD - Thanks!

Kira - lol, I'd be C...

Clay - I like a man who knows what he wants! lol. I normally don't tag people, but feel free to copy it!

Cool meme, we got to learn a few more things about you :)

Like Patti, I had a good laugh at the sign thing, very clever lol

And Monday morning we were all dragging ourselves around the house because of a major thunderstorm overhead most of the night. That and torrential rain. It was aweseome! lol but difficult to sleep in.

Interesting answers. I was just catching up on your blog. Too bad you didn't tell everyone about your 3 bookcases of porn dvds. Maybe in another post. ;)~

Blogger xwy said...

Cakes - Hey, I was serious about that!

Lisa - I love storms but sometimes a mute button for the thunder would be nice. Nothing like be awakened in the middle of the night by it!

SJ - You're so sweet!

Robb - You know I don't like porn. It does nothing for me. ;)

Blogger X. Dell said...

It's been awhile. Happy New Year, dear. Don't think we've forgotten about you.

Hmm. I'll be locking horns with the other Cincy drivers next week. Funny. But the next time I'm on I-275, I'll be thinking of you, now.
