1. I have a pink leather wallet.

2. I have sensitive eyes and can't go outside without sunglasses. I panic if I can't find them.

3. I hate reading things that are written in pencil.

4. I have 5000 labels coming today from the printer and I am SO excited. Way more excited than anyone should be about labels.

5. We just had a tree cut down in our yard, and the dummy who did it brought too small of a chainsaw, so he couldn't cut it to the ground. So there is now a 3-1/2 foot stump sticking up. It looks ridiculous.

6. I love to shop for my DD, but I only do two major shopping trips a year for my DS. One in the spring and one in the fall. Boys clothes are not as fun. :(

7. I would love to have 4 or 5 kids, but that will never happen. :)

8. My mom broke her foot this weekend by tripping over the dog and falling down two steps.

9. I swear I have some kind of magnetic force that attracts weirdos. If there is someone who is mentally off within a six block radius, they will find me and want to interact with me. How do I turn that off?

10. I love baby names, even though I will probably never have another child. I've loved them since I was a child -- I would check out baby name books from the library at like age 11.

11. My first car was a gold Toyota Tercel hatchback. With no radio and doors that didn't lock. It had like 150,000 miles on it when I bought it for $500. But that thing ran like nobody's business. It ALWAYS started, even when it was 40 degrees below zero. Too bad there were holes in the floor. :)

12. I am a coffee snob. It has to be the good stuff with real cream or nothing at all.

13. I love iced tea, unsweetened, and drink it all summer long.

14. My DH is gone most of the summer. :(

15. I was a very picky eater as a child and am learning to like foods I never thought I would. Like cucumbers. And stuff.

16. I became a vegetarian at age 16 and didn't eat meat for four years, and didn't eat any red meat for eight. I also discovered it is possible to be a veg and live on breakfast cereal, ice cream, and french fries. Vegetables are not really necessary!

17. My neighbors across the street (we live on a cul-de-sac) just bought a HUUUUUUGE RV. It's almost hard to get by on the street, it's so big.

18. My next door neighbor is a fireman and has a dalmation. His buddies from the fire station come pick him up for work in a huge ladder truck. They all pile in, kind of like, "Let's take this baby out for a spin!" When they get here, they honk the horn repeatedly until he comes out and joins them.

19. My DS is just now getting to the age where every other mommy is the nice mommy. They all let their kids eat cookies and junk and watch TV all day long, and I do not. (According to him.) Therefore, I am not the nice mommy.

20. My DS knows about 20 words of Spanish and thinks he speaks it fluently. He'll say, "Mommy, do you want me to teach you Spanish? OK, grande means big and pequeno means small. Rojo is red and Verde is green... there, now you know Spanish too."

1. I have a brown spot in my bluegreen eyes.
2. My thumbs don't match.
3. I bite my nails, they hurt, I hate it, can't seem to stop.

5. I have no real idea how to play with kids over age 3... they baffle me.
6. I love donuts.
7. I want donuts.
8. I love Dr. Pepper.
9. I don't like wearing shoes and go outside barefoot all the time.
10. I have ugly feet.
11. I can't stand whining.
12. My MIL has bad tastes in clothes and buys ugly, uncomfortable stuff for
my kids all the time.
13. I am a terrible housekeeper.
14. I have curly hair.
15. I am really reaching here, and must be really boring.
16. I have put off buying new glasses for 2yrs now b/c I can't seem to spend
the money on myself... at least with yarn or fabric, I make the stuff for
other people, so it's not quite the same.
17. I am addicted to sugar.
18. I look disgusting right now and would love a shower, but have to manage
keeping 3 kids safe and happy for 6 whole minutes before I can get one.
19. I want a Mix, choc. soft serve custard style frozen yogurt w/ heath bar
mixed in.
20. My camera needs to be cleaned.

:lol: I *am* boring. And it's morning... Sharon's were way more interesting than mine. I'll try again later.

Happy anniversary, Davina! It will be six years for me in August.

Doing anything special?

twouglyducks

04-14-2006, 06:33 AM

Special? Ummm... hah!

Next Friday, the boys are going to Parents' Night Out and we will probably go eat or something. Yup, we are so exciting.

04-14-2006, 06:49 AM

:lol: Davina....I'm probably just boring too, but this looked like fun...

1. I was born in Germany
2. I am not German, I'm proud to be an American! (insert flag smilie, which we don't have)...
3. I'm an Army Brat. Yes, my mama wore combat boots.
4. I've gone to 6 different schools (2 different high schools).
5. One of my legs is shorter than the other.
6. I'm self-taught knit and crochet. Self Taught crochet when I was in High School. Can ya tell I was the "popular" one?? :lol:
7. I'm the oldest of 6 girls. Well, actually if you count the entire blended family I'm #3 out of 8 GIRLS.
8. I'm half Yankee, half Redneck. But consider myself Westerner.
9. I am NOT a morning person, however, since having children sleeping past 8am is a HUGE luxury (and VERY infrequent, like maybe once a year)..
10. I was the girl who loved picking out kids' names when I was younger. Now I'm so picky when it comes to names for my children. I have a list of requirements...
11. I love to be in the water. I always have. :)
12. I was a GOOD swimmer in High School. I joined the swimming team because my friend did (and asked me to join her). I loved it and swam all 4 years (longer than her, btw). I was a backstroker.
13. I did backstroke because I could breathe when I wanted to.
14. I've driven the ALCAN Highway once, was the passenger the other time.
15. I hate summer in AZ. I wish I could move somewhere cooler. I'd love to be a snowbird, live someplace cool in the summer (like Alaska) and AZ in the winter.
16. I don't care for the snowbirds here, as they don't know how to drive..
17. I didn't get my driver's license until I was 18, and had graduated high school.
18. I am not a good housekeeper. There are so many things I'd rather do. My dh is a much better housekeeper than I am. I don't cook all that well either.
19. I was a Latch-Key kid for several years.
20. I love new projects. I've got the "shiney new penny" syndrome. :D

Hugs,
tammy

7. I have yet to complete a knitting project for myself.
8. I hate doing dishes.
9. I have a dishwasher, and I STILL hate doing dishes.
10. I have two cases of Dagoba organic chocolate that are slowly emptying.
11. Some days, the chocolate disappears in a not-so-slow manner.
12. We drive a Honda Odyssey.
13. In our first month of having the Odyssey, I put a LOT of miles on it by just driving around. Love that car.

Okay, I'll play. I'm way boring, so be warned

1. My dh went to cooking school and never cooks. He's a mailman.
2. 11 years later, I'm still paying off the student loans for it.
3. I think E85 is not the answer as you still need fuel to refine the corn into ethanol.
4. I can't stand the sound of listening to people type who hunt and peck.
5. I secretly think my oldest son is a high functioning autistic. He drives me nuts.
6. I'd rather be doing anything else but cleaning this house, but I force myself to do it anyway.
7. I make my kids put their own laundry away, make their own beds, and load their own dishes into the dishwasher. They're 7, 5, and 3.
8. I never think I"m a good mom.
9. My husband is the only person I ever dated.
10. My in laws hate me.
11. I wanted to be a figure skater when I was little.
12. My mom told me I couldn't take skating lessons because I was too fat. This was easier for her to admit than that she didn't have the money for it.
13. My mom is mean.
14. Because my dh has a one hour commute and uses his own car to deliver the mail, we use like 225 gallons of gas a month.
15. I feel guilty about it because I feel like I'm giving money to terrorists and corrupt governments. I panic when the price of gas goes up. It's $2.59 a gallon in NJ and I'm scared.
16. I wouldn't be scared if we didn't have a car payment ($445) that was almost as much as our mortgage. I hate that car payment. I'm not crazy about the car either. It has two steering wheels so dh can deliver the mail. The one I sit in front of (passenger side) has no airbag. I'm terrified of dying in a car crash and leaving my kids behind.
17. I use the money I make knitting to try to pay off the car faster.
18. I can't drive. I am blind in my left eye and have no depth perception. I took behind the wheel in high school and failed it. Twice. I get jealous when I see people with out arms or legs or who are paralyzed driving. This makes me feel like a horrible person. I feel bad for my kids that their mom can't drive and they can't go all the places and do all the things they'd like to.
19. I love Scrabble and all word games. All games really. We have too many of them and when I buy them, I feel guilty like I should have put that money toward the car.
20. I yell at my kids too much.

04-15-2006, 08:00 AM

ok, but I think I'm boring too :D

1. I was born in Hawaii.

2. I'm an army brat too.

3. I have 7 brothers, I am the only girl.

4. My oldest two children are from a previous marriage. I was married and divorced with two kids before I was 21.

5. I met my husband online, playing a video game called Everquest.

6. After we got married, he legally adopted my oldest kids.

7. I haven't been knitting very long, like less than 2 years

8. I have PCOS and Insulin resistance and I can't seem to lose any weight because of it.

9. I just discovered Jello pudding pops are back and it makes me giddy.

10. My 23mo old talks more than my other two kids did at 3-4 yrs old, its crazy that I can have a complete conversation with her, in complete sentences :nut

11. My mother thinks her only goal as a grandmother is to "bake cookies" with my kids and feed them junk food even when I ask her to stop, its funny to her, to see how pissed off I can get.

12. I won't allow my kids to have overnights at her house anymore, and she thinks I am evil because of it.

13. She put NAIR on my 11yr olds legs, with out talking to me first, and now my 11yr old wants to shave her legs (she never even considered it until my mother told her that there was something wrong with them) because she thinks the hair is now "gross" like grammy said :shake

14. I have issues with my mom, can you tell?

15. My husband is a D&D nerd, and has games here every other weekend, we also play the new D&D online game together every evening. Guess that makes me a nerd too?

16. I love my mother in law, I think she is an amazing woman, and I respect her so much, she raised 3 wonderful kids who are just great to be around.

17. My husbands entire family lives in a 5 mile radius of us, parents, grandparents (both sets) aunt, uncle, cousins, brother and sister.

18. I am glad my house is the smallest, I don't have to host anything, ever :D

19. I too, am a very bad housekeeper and it never fails that I can spend hours and hours cleaning this house and NO one stops by but the moment its a wreck, everyone seems to appear on my doorstep.

20. My period is late. And I am scared. :scratchc:

I'll play:

1. I'm also an Army brat!
2. I'm a sports fanatic. I think it was my dad and brother's influence - they started me out young. I've participated in my DH's fantasy leagues and tournament challenges with all his guy buddies and won almost all of them.
3. My DH pissed me off this morning. I woke him up so we could run over to the local egg hunt and he spent the entire time we had before leaving primping himself while my unshowered self struggled to get the kids ready. I couldn't get my youngest ready in time and ended up not making it and he took my my oldest without me. :( I'm so sad I missed watching my son! Who the hell cares what they look like at 8am on a Saturday morning at a freakin' egg hunt?
4. Whenever I'm at a craft store I peruse the cute boy scrapbooking stuff but I've yet to scrapbook a page.
5. I just organized my yarn into cedar rubbermaid bins. 8 of them. :o
6. Before I bought yarn like crazy I bought cloth diapers like crazy.
7. I have piles of stuff to sell and I never get around to it.
8. I have yet to knit anything for myself either.
9. I'm also a big procrastinator. It is SO hard for me to motivate myself to finish something.
10. I used to be a skinny carefree city gal not too long ago. Then I had kids. :lol
11. I'm a Domer. Class of '97
12. I lived six consecutive years in Germany when I was younger.
13. I think I want one more kid but DH is done.
14. My DH works in the evenings. His company does business during the Asian trading market hours so he works Sundays-Thursday nights.
15. My mom had a very severe brain aneurysm and survived it. She had less than a 1% chance. Luckily it occured while she was visiting a friend in the hospital, of all places, and she got immediate care.
16. I've never had a Big Mac.
17. I let my DS watch too much tv. I try to limit him to 2 hours a day but I think he watches more like 3-4. Makes me feel so guilty.
18. I used to be a runner. In high school I ran competitively and before I became pregnant with my first my DH and I ran local races all the time.
19. I love to watch Grey's Anatomy and Alias. Thank goodness for Tivo.
20. I can't stand drinking soda - the bubbles make me to urpy.

1. We're watching A Mighty Wind right now.
2. I met my husband for the first time at a Jewel concert in 1996. Before she was annoying, I promise.
3. I drink WAY too much coffee.
4. I work two nights a week at an acupuncturist's office, taking out needles and stuff. I love it.
5. I also edit secret shopper reports from home, and I get paid better for that than taking out the needles. Who knew?
6. I finished Charlotte's easter sweater today, even though I almost gave up on it.
7. We did infertility treatment for two years before we got pregnant with Charlotte, on an unmedicated "break" cycle when we weren't even trying.
8. I just ate my favorite ice cream, Ben & Jerry's Oatmeal Cookie.
9. My husband decided last month (realized?) that he wanted to become a minister, so he has applied to a seminary and we're in the middle of announcing to the church, telling the family, completing all the paperwork, blahy blah blah right now.
10. How the hell am I going to come up with 10 more things?
11. My house is a MESS. And that's OK.
12. I cut Charlotte's hair last weekend and even though it looks nothing like I intended, I'm pretty proud of myself.
13. I'm so glad we got rid of cable. I watch much less TV now.
14. I have two bumper stickers on my van: "marriage for all" (yay Massachusetts!) and "Barach Obama in 2006"
15. I only get my hair cut once a year.
16. My husband just stood behind me and read over my shoulder, which drives me NUTS. Grrrrr.
17. I check Hynea Cart stockings every single day but I only think I've bought things twice.
18. I pick my cuticles all the time.
19. I love tuna sandwiches with pickles and olives.
20. I'm gonna go take a shower now.
