What about You?

I've always been a psychology buff and and I thought the answers to these questions can reveal a lot about a person. I found it on another blog, so I thought I'd share a few more of my quirks with you. This blogging is a strange thing. I've revealed more about myself since December '05 when I started blogging than I ever have in my life.

1. Do you sleep with your closet doors opened or closed? Closed. Otherwise I feel like somebody can sneak up on me.
2. Do you ever take the soaps and shampoos from hotel rooms? Yup, they are there for me and they throw them out if the seal is broken anyhoo. I don't raid the maid's cart or anything, just take what's in my room.
3. Have you ever had sex in a hotel room? I started to leave this one out, but hey, I have two kids, so you guess the answer to this one.
4. Have you ever stolen a street sign? Uh, no. It wouldn't go with my landscaping.
5. Do you use post-it notes? Constantly. I love them. My girlfriend gave me a big bag of them she got at the business fair and I was Sooo happy!
6. Do you cut coupons out but never use them? Always. My intention is good, but my follow through stinks.
7. Would you rather be attacked by a bear or a swarm of bees? A bear. I have a plan. I've taken a lot of kickboxing classes to prepare for the moment.
8. Do you always smile for pictures? Yup. My "alluring, serious" look always makes me look like a weirdo.
9. What is your biggest pet peeve? Dirty fingernails & toenails on anybody, especially my kids.
10. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out? In. Otherwise you are buried from the waist up in sheets and your feet are naked, and that is really annoying.
11. Have you ever peed in the woods? Oh, I have on my one and only backpacking trek with Hero Guy deep into the Adirondack forest. Which is why we now camp at campgrounds with proper toilets.
12. Do you chew on your pens or pencils? No, I prefer my hangnails.
13. What is your favorite animal and why? I love monkeys because they do all the hilarious gross things that humans can't get away with.
14. Do you like popcorn from those big tins? No, I like the microwave mini-popcorn bags. The tins always have stale popcorn in them. I will put up with the cheese flavored, though. It's kind of addicting.
15. Could you marry the person you are with right now? You betcha, baby. I'd do it again.
16. Is is okay for a guy to wear pink? For sure, but Hero Guy wiggles away whenever I try to get him into that pink polo shirt.
17. Do you still watch cartoons? Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends is the newest introduction my kids have given me. I prefer the Flintstones, though.
18. Where would you bury hidden treasure if you had it? In the most obvious place I could think of so nobody would look there.
19. What do you drink with dinner? Cranberry seltzer or Pepsi One.
20. What do you dip your chicken nugget in? Honey Mustard, always. It's my condiment of choice on everything from sandwiches to tuna salad dressing.

Very interesting, I'll probably borrow this some time, I love reading these. I'm glad you blog, it's been fun seeing a little more of the "inner you" even though I've known you for years. :-) Danny & his family are coming to town Labor Day weekend, looking forward to seeing them.

Mixed Feelings

It's been a long time in coming, but as of this morning, I'm no longer a medical transcriptionist. I'm not sure how I feel about that...a little bit relieved, a little bit sad, a lot bit uncertain about whether I'll regret this decision. For the last year or so, I've found that the transcription work isn't fulfilling the need I once had to stay at home with my babies and have an income. I've increasingly felt that I need more interaction and less monotony. I've also felt the pressure of work that constantly needs to be done, with no sense of ever being really "finished." No matter how much work you've done for the day, there's always another note waiting to be transcribed. That goes for sick days, holidays, vacations days or any kind of days. This year, I've dabbled in substituting as a school monitor and office staff, and kind of found my niche in the last few weeks. I'll be working a couple of hours a day in one of the ...

Stickin' It Out

I got married today. Well, not exactly today. It was Friday, June 2. But the year was 1989 - 17 years ago. "Amazing", people say. "Good for you", they comment. "You must have picked the right one", the add. Amazing? Yes. Good for me? I'll admit it. But it has nothing to do with picking the right one, really. It's not because I found the perfect boy, and it's certainly not because he found the perfect girl. It might sound a little unromantic, but there never really is a 'right one' floating around out there waiting in the cosmos for the other 'right one' to crash and connect. There may be 'better ones'; there may be 'more easily compatible' or something or other. But the real story is you start becoming the right one the moment you vow that "you do". When I married, I had been 20 for a whole 33 days, we had just completed a 2-year long-distance realtionship and HE was five years older tha...

Too Close For Comfort

Depressing: Def., "Realizing that you and your Dearly Beloved are entirely to close to wearing the same pant size. Case in point - Hero Guy came ' har har-ing' out of the bedroom relating that he had accidentally been wearing a pair of my jeans for the last 15 minutes. He wondered why they felt so weird (translated - TIGHT) until he took them off and inspected the tag. He gloated that at least he knows he can fit into a Ladies Size ___ (you really think I'm going to tell you the number?!). My Observations: 1) He had a MONSTER wedgie, so the jeans were entirely too small for him. 2) They are my "fat" jeans, a size bigger than what I actually wear, but I just like the broken-in feeling of them. Or the roominess or something. 3) They were the stretchy kind of jeans, so an elephant could have painted itself into them. 4) What's he bragging about having a girlish figure for anyway? Not very macho if you ask me. Hmph.
