ABC Meme

Act your age? I think so, for the most part...

Born on what day of the week? Saturday.

Chore you hate? Floors - be it vacuuming or mopping or sweeping - it doesn't matter. I hate it.

Dad's name? Robert Lee, but everyone just calls him Bob. E.'s middle name is Robert - so we call him E. Bob.

Essential makeup item? It would have to be powder. I just don't feel ready to face the day until I've put on some powder... I tend to have a bit too much shine without it.

Favorite actor? Hmmm. I'd have to say John Cusack, although I don't like a lot of movies he's been in...

Gold or silver? I'll wear either. I like both.

Hometown? Astoria, Oregon.

Instruments you play? Piano. I also know how to play the clarinet, oboe, and the flute, but it's been years.

Job title? Household Engineer. Teacher. My business cards say "Scrapbookery Manager."

Kids? Yep. Three.

Living arrangements? A 1949 rancher in a lovely established neighborhood. 5 bedrooms. 3 baths. One 'dark and scary place.'

Mom's name? Delores Ann.

Need? A pedicure.

Overnight hospital stays? When I had my babies and in 1998 after breast reduction surgery. It was bliss. A tv remote, food brought to me on a tray and no chores? Lovely.

Phobias? Not really. Phobia is a too strong of a word, but I really don't like snakes.

Quote you like? "Sleep is a poor substitute for coffee."

Religious affiliation? I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; he descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting. AMEN.

Siblings? 2 older brothers. They used to pin me to the ground and then let drool hang out of their mouths until it almost touched me - and then they would suck it back up into their mouths. Yes, I was a tortured child.

Time you wake up? Usually between 6:30 and 7:00.

Unique talent? Too complex to explain here, but it involves two albino rodeo clowns with trick shoulders and a gallon of olive oil.

Volume? I have a loud voice - it tends to carry, which was perfect when I was a cheerleader and not so perfect when I had napping babies. My firstborn inherited my loud voice, which drives me crazy.

Worst habit? Procrastination

X-rays you've had? Arm. Back. Neck. Mammogram.

Yummy food you make? I love to cook. I make a killer grilled flank steak. Salads. Great pasta. I'm a baker at heart - great chocolate chip cookies, delicious breads... I could go on and on. I love to eat my cooking and baking. Too much probably...

Zodiac Sign? Aquarius. Whatever that means.

    Yes, my older brother used to torture me in the very same manner. I would make things worse by laying there with my mouth wide open, screaming for mom!

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
