Opening…
Do you get regular massages? I used to but not anymore. I miss them. =(
Do you have an answering machine? No need for one when you don't have a land line.
What cuss word do you use the most? Fuck
Are you underweight or overweight? Neither. I'm right where my doctors want me to be. It's about the only thing about my health they are happy with.
Can you see your veins? Some of them. I have great veins for getting IV's and taking blood, which works out well for me.
Favorite…
Soap? Irish Spring or something like that. I know it when I see it.
Fruit? Bananas. Or kiwis. Or strawberries. No, no, no. I've got it! Concord grapes! Those are my absolute favorites.
Kind of red meat? I don't eat red meat. I'm in the process of weaning myself off meat and becoming a vegetarian. =)
Fish? Orange roughie or shrimp.
Candy bar? As long as it's chocolate, I'm not picky.
Have You Ever…
Eaten a whole bag of potato chips? Not a large, full-sized bag in one sitting, no. One of those small, lunch-sized bags in one sitting, yes.
Eaten lobster? Yes, I don't like it.
Climbed a mountain? No.
Been skydiving? No.
Been water skiing? No.
Do You…
Wish you could change something about your life? Things past and things current, yes.
Like your nose? Yes.
Like salt and vinegar chips? No.
Eat salsa? Yes.
Own a boat? No.
What Is…
A small thing that people let slide but that actually has dire consequences? Honestly, the very first thing that came to mind upon reading this was drunk driving. Far too many treat drunk driving as if it is a "small thing" and they let it slide when in fact it does actually have dire consequences.
Your most macho trait? I guess my most "macho" trait is the fact that I don't like to let bullshit slide and I tend to smack my nearest and dearest in the arms, chest and back when they are acting like jackasses while trying to getting away with bullshit.
The longest relationship you’ve ever had? My current relationship with Cookie Monster. We've been together nearly a decade and married 6 going on 7 years.
Your most embarrassing thoughts? Running away and changing my name.
Your most shameful moment? Not going to the Domestic Violence Shelter when I was living and married to NTD. I called them. They begged me to pack up Oatmeal Raisin and...move in, I guess. I declined. I didn't want them to know. I didn't want the people who specialize in helping victims of Domestic Violence to know what he and his family were doing to me. So I stayed. If I had gone, it may have changed the tone of the next decade (2000-2010) of my entire life.
This/That…
Bath/Shower? Depends on the day, my mood and the reason/purpose
Markers/Crayons? Again, depends on the day, my mood and the reason/purpose
Pens/Pencils? See 2 previous answers =)
Jelly/Cream Cheese? Depends on what I'm eating Jelly is for either toast or bagels or english muffins but cream cheese is only for bagels, period.
Bagel/Toast? Usually bagels but sometimes toast
Finish…
My greatest weakness is… my children, my husband, my friends/family & office supplies
I wish I was… healed, these open wounds are killing me slowly.
Three things I wouldn’t do for a million dollars are… 1) give up my husband and children. 2) Remarry NTD. 3) Live through/"survive" more abuse of any type.
The oddest thing I’ve ever put in my mouth is… probably a penis. Seriously, is that what God intended us to do with it?!
Firsts…
Credit card you had? I can't remember the company but it was through my local mall. I think the company is closed now anyway.
Loan you got was for? Student loan - gotta love 'em.
Paycheck was for how much? Oh, hell if I know. It was part time as a General Service Representative at Fuddruckers (glorified name for a Table Busser) and I was 15 years old at the time so I can't imagine that I made very much. lol
Time you had stitches? After giving birth to an 8lb 15oz "sunny-side-up" 4 day overdue Oatmeal Raisin who ripped me open from one end to the other - 4th degree tears aren't all they're cracked up to be.
Time you went to the hospital for something? I was somewhere between newborn and 2 weeks old and running a fever of 103 - 104 degrees. That's all I know because I was living with my foster parents at the time.
Lasts…
List everything you ate in the last 24 hours? Coke, SubWay, chips, chocolate, Hostess chocolate cupcakes, Hostess Zingers
Last thing you used a credit card for? It's been years because we don't use credit cards for anything. Unless you count our debit/credit cards but those don't count in my book.
What was your job previous to the one you have now? I was an Administrative Assistant.
Last thing you celebrated? New Years.
Last time you were at a sports bar? Many, many moons ago.
