Wednesday Weirdness

Just so I can keep up with the rest of the gang:

1. If you could only eat one fruit for an entire year and that fruit would magically be in season and ripe that full year, which fruit would you choose and why? Mango. It's filling and delicious...and banannas sometimes make me gag.

2. What is something that makes you sad? Animal cruelty

3. What would you do if you came home from an extended vacation and found that someone else was living in your house?I would be whippin someone's ass. With a quickness.

4. What US President, alive or otherwise, would you like to have dinner with? They are all the same to me.

5. What is your opinion on multitasking while driving? (Reading a book or work documents, changing clothes, fixing hair, applying make up, shaving your face, et cetera) I've only seen Liza do it, and she's pretty good at it, so I can't bitch to much. I don't really have much road rage.

6. Do you ever multitask while driving? I will sometimes text while driving or hand stuff to my kids, or eat. If so, how often would you say you are guilty of it? At least 3 times a week.

7. Do you tend to be early, on time, fashionably late or LATE to work and work related events? I prefer to be at least 15 minutes early.Do you tend to be more or less punctual for non-work related events? Less punctual. Mostly because I am taking my kids and they can take FOREVER to get ready.

8. What is a quirk your significant other has that you would define as "cute"? I haven't noticed any "cute" quirks. I really need to look for that. Now if you ask me what quirks irritate the hell out of me.....

Wednesday Weirdness #24
1.) Do you think you're approachable? I think I am totally approachable. However, I have been told by, well most everyone that knows me, that I am NOT approachable. That I throw off this "stay the eff away from me" vibe.

2.) Out of the two, would you rather be able to predict things before they happened or be able to read minds whenever you wanted to? Predict things before they happen. Why? Avoid catastrophe, win the lottery, bet on sports teams " Why would I not want to read minds? I didn't say I didn't want to read people's minds, I just want to predict things more than read people's minds.

3.) Have you ever kissed, fooled around or slept with an ex significant other AFTER you were already broken up? No, No and a thousand times No. Broke up means just that. Usually the reason we broke up was because I finally figured out what a loser he was.

4.) Do you believe dreams are your imagination running wild as you sleep, your subconscious showing you what's really on your mind or something else entirely? A little of both. Sometimes I dream of sex with a Matt Hughes. That's both my imagination runnin wild AND what's really on my mind.

5.) How often do you use cuss words? Does your use of cuss words vary on your moods or situations? I use them way to much. They are the common language here at work, but it's a bad example for my children. Yes, if I'm angry I can't control it.

6.) Do you ever purposely lead people on so you can get what you want?
Never ever ever. That is just mean and selfish and greedy.

7.) When was the last time you did something you told yourself you wouldn't do? What was it?
Yesterday. I told myself that I wouldn't confide in the other admin, and then went ahead and told her what should have stayed to myself.

8.) If you could meet one musician who is no longer alive, who would it be?
I can't really think of any dead musicians that I would like to meet or spend time with....is that sad?

I just keep running face first into the same wall.....

I just can't seem to get ahead. At all. In anything.

Ok, I'll admit it, I'm feeling down. In the dumps.

I WANNA HOUSE!! A REAL HOUSE. Not a tube. Not a double tube. A real honest to Pete house.

I want it now!! Right now. Just call me Veruca.

I'm checking into that. Looking to see if it's even remotely possible for us. If our credit is good enough. If our debt to income ratio is low enough (it's not). If the blood of our first born satisfies the Bank Vampires etc....

I just want to forget about wanting a house and focus on something else, but I can't.

It's times like this I wish I had ADD.

Come one, come all.........

Last night, at ten till nine, DH suddenly decides that my Livvie needs a bath. Now I think I've talked about Livvie before. She's my amstaff that we rescued from New York.

Note to self, think of a better name for DH than DH

Anyhow, he jumps up and chases her to the back. The heathens children ran quickly behind them. My spidey senses advised me that this would be a good time to catch up on some reading as the children would be occupied for AT LEAST 10 minutes.

Shortly into the first chapter I had to put my book down. The conversations in the back were classic. It went something like this:



The daughter (Here after known as PD for this story)"Dad, can I sit here and watch you? Dad, why is Livvie getting a bath? (giggling) Dad, giving Livvie a bath is sooo fun."

DH "Because she is dirty. Don't you get dirty when you play outside"

PD "Yeah....Dad, what did she do to get dirty? Did she roll in the dirt?"

DH *Sigh* "Probably PD - Livvie was running through the woods and so she was in the dirt and the mud"

Silence with the sound of water running in the background.

DH "SON!!! GET OFF THE HOT WATER RIGHT NOW. YOU CANNOT BE ON THE HOT WATER YOU COULD BURN YOURSELF OR LIVVIE."

I'm not really sure how my son was on the hot water as it's a tub/shower combo and the faucets are on the wall. Maybe he was in the sink. Whatever, I'm sure the son got the point.

PD "Dad, why is she standing like that?"

DH "Because I'm washin..."

PD "DAD DAD - WHY IS SHE PUTTING HER LEG UP LIKE THAT?"

DH - Total exasperation in his voice - "PD Livvie doesn't like to get a bath - do YOU like to get a bath?"

PD Yeah, I do...

DH - Sigh - "Ok, well you know how YOUR BROTHER doesn't like getting a bath - well neither does Livvie"

PD "Oh, ok"

DH "Now go get Daddy a......SON...YOU CANNOT CLIMB ON THE WASHER LIKE THAT!!! OMG YOUR MOM IS GOING TO KILL ME. GET DOWN NOW. THAT IS NOT A TOY, PUT THAT DOWN. YOU CAN DO LAUNDRY WITH MOMMY TOMORROW YOU DON'T NEED THE LAUNDRY SOAP. BOY!!! I'M NOT KIDDING. YOU ARE SO LUCKY THAT I CAN'T COME OVER TO YOU RIGHT NOW. DAUGHTER!! WHERE ARE THE TOWELS? DAMNIT - LIVVIE DO NOT SHAKE! SIT... I SAID SIT!!

PD "Dad, why are you so mad?

It actually went even further as he cleaned Livvies ears...but I don't have time to type that. I'm grinning from ear to ear just thinking about it....

I love my family.

Here's a dilemma...

So my BFF Liza shared a secret with me. A pretty major secret. A BFF type of secret. I will not display her secret here. However, it then prompted me to share a secret with her. In a roundabout way.

I feel so exposed. Which is ridiculous. Liza knows all of my innermost everything. I watched her child being born. I've seen her vagina!! I mean, who is closer to me? No one.

So why do I feel so scared and exposed and nervous? Why don't I want her to read what I wrote until I leave her house?

I think that I never really relax around anyone. I relax the most around her...but I still guard myself a bit from her. I completely tore that down. So I am now not keeping ANYTHING from her.

Whew, so there. I feel better getting that out. Now....we'll see what she says to what I wrote.

I see the light!!!

Yeah!!! Saturday night I got my power back. What a blessing! I have to give all the glory to God that my family and I made it through that without killin each other.

I will be gone most of this week. I have training in PA for work. I'll be gone Wednesday and Thursday.

I know you are all worried about how you will live without me...but I trust you.

YOU CAN DO IT!!

I need some encouragement on my weight loss dream. I'm really slacking, and my self esteem is showing it. I did get my hair cut, and I love it - so that helped a bit.

I got irritated for the first time at members of my church. I made it 9 months before I got irritated at someone. That's pretty good, right?

I'm trying to be witting and funny, but I'm tooo tired. I need themes for each day of the week so that I have a topic. I'm open to suggestions

Did you know?

That if you have a Verizon Razr and you set the alarm, it will not go off if you have a text?

That when pressed I can do in 20 minutes what I usually do in 45 mins. (Non sexual, of course)

That I can be convinced to take another rescue, even though it's only 10 weeks old and not housebroken?

That you can slice a chunk out of your finger with the same disposable razor you use to shave your legs?

That because of said chunk missing you will score 74 on a typing test that you know you could have scored 98?

That not putting out to your spouse can cause them to be EXTRA grouchy?

That a woman can wear men's deodorant, and no one will notice? (I couldn't find mine, and I didn't have time to search)

That Lipton Green Tea doesn't taste to bad room temp?

Ok, that's enough of that. Sornie - I hope I don't beat your record. If I do, I know it is because you jinxed me!!
