Adult Truths

There is nothing really personal to say - the business keeps on, with challenges and successes and all that - but it's a new month and I think a laugh is always good for a beginning. I have bolded the following truths that I find extra appropriate:
1. I think part of a best friend's job should be to immediately clear your computer history if you die.
2. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong.
3. I totally take back all those times I didn't want to nap when I was younger.
4. There is great need for a Sarcasm font.
5. How the hell are you supposed to fold a fitted sheet?
6. Was learning cursive really necessary?
7. Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I'm pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.
8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died.
9. I can't remember the last time I wasn't at least kind of tired.
10. Bad decisions make good stories.
11. You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren't going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.
12. Can we all just agree to ignore whatever comes after Blue Ray? I don't want to have to restart my collection...again.
13. I'm always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.
14. I keep some people's phone numbers in my phone just so I know not to answer when they call.
15. I think the freezer deserves a light as well.
16. I disagree with Kay Jewelers. I would bet on any given Friday or Saturday night more kisses begin with Miller Lite than Kay.
17. I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Bad Neighborhoods" routing option.
18. I have a hard time deciphering the fine line between boredom and hunger.
19. How many times is it appropriate to say "What?" before you just nod and smile because you still didn't hear or understand a word they said?
20. I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!
21. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever.
22. Sometimes I'll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is.
23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.

This is me, thanks for the laugh ATL!

Just In The Nick Of Time

Thank goodness for the Internets. On the days when you just can't think of anything to write, yay for the peeps who think up the memes.
What kind of soap is in your bathtub right now?
We have a few. There's my body wash - Suave Cucumber Melon - Tarzan's body wash - Lever 2000 - plus the bar soap - also Lever 2000 - and some Australian stuff we got as a present once.
Do you have any watermelon in your refrigerator?
We do and we love it and I would have more if there were room. Those puppies take up space.
What would you change about your living room?
The size of it. The floor covering - we don't like carpet - and I think I'd paint it a darker yellow next time. Maybe with red stripes below the chair rail...
Are the dishes in your dishwasher clean or dirty?
Actually we just got a new dishwasher today - yay! - so it doesn't have any dishes in it at all. Can't wait for Tarzan to come home so's we can hook it up and put some dirty dishes in it.
What’s in your fridge?
A lot LOT of condiments, pickles, butter, some grapes, cheese, I think we established the watermelon content in a previous question, bread, water, jam, eggs, tomatoes, cucumber, lettuce, onion and a few things I probably forgot and will need to be cleaned out soon.
White or wheat bread?
Homemade so 1/2 and 1/2
What is on top of your refrigerator?
All the Tupperware I can't fit into a drawer.
What color or design is on your shower curtain?
We don't have a shower curtain. It's one of those metal slider thingys.
How many plants in your home?
One. I am contemplating moving it outside as it is outgrowing it's pot but it's done better than any plant I have ever had so I am hesitant to disturb it too much.
Is your bed made right now?
Yes, yes it is.
Comet or Soft Scrub?
Arm & Hammer Foaming Spray. That stuff does what all the commercials promise their stuff will do.
Can you describe your flashlight?
My personal flashlight? I don't really put my name on one particular item. I do like the shake it and use one though. No batteries required.
Do you drink out of glass or plastic most of the time at home?
Glass. We started out with a lots of plastic but over the years they melted in the dishwasher or got cracked and we grew into the glass one.
Do you have iced tea made in a pitcher right now?
No. We never drink the stuff.
If you have a garage, is it cluttered?
We do not have a garage so it isn't cluttered but the shed in the back that houses the washer and dryer sure is.
Curtains or blinds?
Blinds, but I think in my next house I will have curtains.
How many pillows do you sleep with?
There are six on the bed but I get four if not five since Tarzan likes to sleep flat, like he's dead, and I curl up in my nest of pillows.
Do you sleep with any lights on at night?
Goodness no, there are more than enough neighbors, and streetlights and LED lights around that we don't need to pay for more.
How often do you vacuum?
I plead the 5th on the grounds that the answer might incriminate me.
Standard toothbrush or electric?
Standard. I've thought about getting an electric one but then what do we do when we go camping?
What color is your toothbrush?
I have two since I tend to forget them places. One is pink and one is blue. Tarzan always gets the green one.
Do you have a welcome mat on your front porch?
On the front porch, the side door and under the cat's food bowls.
What is in your oven right now?
Nothing. But I made granola bars today. They didn't come out like my mother's do.
Is there anything under your bed?
A lot of dust bunnies and cat fur. Also probably some socks that my short arms can't reach.
Chore you hate doing the most?
That is a tough one. Probably cleaning the bathroom.
What retro items are in your home?
What's retro? All that is was old is new again.
Do you have a separate room that you use as an office?
No, but in our next house I want to.
How many mirrors are in your home?
The closet door, the dresser and both bathrooms. So four.
Do you have any hidden emergency money in your home?
Sure. We'd be hard pressed to find it in an emergency though. I don't know where it went.
What color are your walls?
Living room is yellow, bedroom is green, most of the other rooms are blue.
Do you keep any kind of protection weapons in your home?
Um, the broom, and there might be a crowbar in the shed out back.
What does your home smell like right now?
Raisins and cinnamon.
Favorite candle scent?
Vanilla I think. We don't light a lot and when we do, that last thing I am thinking about is sniffing them.
What kind of pickles (if any) are in your refrigerator right now?
Homemade dills, homemade bread & butter, hamburger slices and some pickled garlic.
What color is your favorite Bible?
Like between the feminist one and the Gideon? Most of the ones in our house are black, except Tarzan's scriptures are green.
Ever been on your roof?
No, but Tarzan has and a neighbor has to get one of the cats down.
Do you own a stereo?
We have a device that plays music. Would it qualify as a stereo is up for debate.
How many TV’s do you have?
One. But it's awesome.
How many house phones?
One. It's a cordless so that makes it easy. We're only 600 square feet remember.
Do you have a housekeeper?
Sure we do. Me.
What style do you decorate in?
The Classic How-Much-Can-We-Cram-Into-One-Little-House Style.
Do you like solid colors in furniture or prints?
Solid. There's enough stuff to look at around it.
Is there a smoke detector in your home?
One in each bedroom and one in the hall, as per the building code.
What are the items in your house which you’d grab if you only could make one quick trip?
Other than Tarzan and the cats who I assume could make it out on their own in the event of an emergency, I would want my journals and my portable hard drive.

This is me, with a meme to keep you entertained until I think of more real life stuff.

Firsts

I was reading this on Lola's page and since it's been a while since I did a meme,
I stole it.
These are my firsts. Copy and paste into your own blog, blah, blah, blah you know the rest.
1. Who was your FIRST prom date?
It was his prom not mine - I didn't get invited to my prom - but Ryan Cowley was fun and sweet and we had a good time.
2. Do you still talk to your FIRST love?
No. It was junior high, a long way away and I was not as mature then as I am now and probably scarred the poor boy for life.
3. What was your FIRST alcoholic drink?
The closest I come is having a beer poured ON me at a party in college.
4. What was your FIRST job?
My first real job, other than babysitting, was for a sandwich place. Still can not abide mayonnaise to this day because of the huge vats we had to scrape it out of.
5. What was your FIRST car?
Tarzan and I were both on the title to the first new car either one of us have ever had. A 2000 green Saturn. I've never held the title to a car all by my lonesome.
6. Who was the FIRST person to text your today?
7. Who was the FIRST person you thought of this morning?
[sniff] No one has. [sniff sniff] Actually I don't text a lot.
8. Who was your FIRST grade teacher?
Mrs. Susan Percy. She asked me to read Clifford to the class when she had to go to the office for something. I tried to show off and read upside down like she did, but it wasn't very successful.
9. Where did you go on your FIRST ride on an airplane?
Believe it or not, my first airplane ride was when we left The Frozen North for The Desert. I was 17.
10. Who was your FIRST best friend and do you still talk?
Thanks to the wonders of Facebook, I have caught up with my first best friend. We live worlds apart now and likely won't be best friends the way we were but she's still awesome and doing awesome things and I'm glad I know about it.
11. Where was your FIRST sleep over?
Probably across "the path" at Emily's house.
12. Who was the FIRST person you talked to today?
Tarzan. He's the first person I talk to every day. It would be weird if I didn't.
13. Whose was the FIRST wedding were you in?
Other than my own...I haven't really been in a wedding all official and stuff. I'm usually the wife of the brother or one of a bunch of sisters.
14. What was the FIRST thing you did this morning?
Kissed Tarzan and went to the bathroom. Mine is a calm and peaceful existence.
15. What was the FIRST concert you ever went to?
Raffi. I was 6 and the kid across Rural Route #1 and I went with his mom to see Raffi in concert. It was awesome. He sang Baby Beluga AND the Teeth Brushing song.
16. FIRST tattoo?
Never even thought about getting one.
17. FIRST piercing?
Considered it, but I pierce myself enough every day to bother getting permanent ones.
18. FIRST foreign country you went to?
Does the U.S.A. count? It was foreign when I visited in the ninth grade.
19. FIRST movie you remember seeing?
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. It was pouring rain and we had to run from the car to the theater and then run back and we still got soaked.
20. When was your FIRST detention?
I never had detention per se, but I was "excused" from class until I could stop laughing.
21. Who was your FIRST roommate?
ATL was the first I remember...oh you mean other than sisters? That would be the girl who already had a boy over and undressed when I started moving my stuff in. Wish I could remember her name.
22. FIRST thing you think of when they ask the one wish question?
I wish people weren't so stupid. And I wish I had enough money to solve the problems of all those close to me.
23. FIRST thing you want to learn if given the chance?
To play the piano.
24. Did you marry the FIRST person to ask for your hand in marriage?
The first person to ask me seriously, yes. The others were just messing around.
25. What was the FIRST sport you were involved in?
Intramural floor hockey. It was awesome.
26. What were the FIRST lessons you ever took?
Horseback riding. I was 5 and the pony was Spot.
27. What is the FIRST thing you do when you get home?
Kiss Tarzan if he's here, and then put my purse and keys down.
28. Who will be the FIRST person to post this?
Maybe RHM, maybe Rocketgirl, maybe no one.

This is me, with a decent meme.

I Screwed Up 18% Of My Teenage Life

Stole this one from RHM. With all the whining and TV reviews I thought you might like a meme AND a glimpse into my past. What could be better?
Have you ever:
[ ] Gotten detention.

[ ] Missed school cause you felt like it.
[x] Laughed so loud you got kicked out of class.

MULTIPLY YOUR NUMBER BY THREE : in my case 6 x 3 = 18
Then repost this & put the Title as "I Screwed Up XX% Of My Teenage Life"

I Don't Know About Trivial

This meme comes from the blog-that-I-read-that-I-will-never-tell-you-about because I have issues a lot of the subject matter, and the attitudes of the contributors but it is also hilarious a lot of the time, so I likely won't stop reading but I'm also not shilling for them. Apparently it's also floating around Facebook but as we've determined the only reason I visit Facebook is to play Mafia Wars.
These are supposed trivial questions about you and your spouse.
What are your middle names?
Mine is the same as my mother's mother and Tarzan's is a family name from a few generations and dozens of countries ago.
How long have you been together?
We've been married eight years and we were engaged for a year and we dated for another year, so I guess that makes ten. Dang.
How long did you know each other before you started dating?
Officially? Probably a year, but Tarzan says he started pursuing me almost as soon as we met. He's so cute that way. Seeing as I had to dare him to kiss me the first time.
Who asked whom out?
Depends on how you consider...nah, he asked me. I was totally hung up on some other guy at the time and didn't even think of it as a date until we were in the middle of it.
How old are each of you?
I am 32 and Tarzan is 33. He's about 18 months older than I.
Whose siblings do you see the most?
My first impression is to say his, they travel a lot and often stop by The Jungle on their way to other places, but there are more of mine and they mostly live near here, so maybe we see mine more?
Which situation is the hardest on you as a couple?
My gut says the not having kids thing, since we both want them, but that's not hard on us as a couple - it's just hard. I guess it's the same as for most other couples - lack of time together. Tarzan is crazy busy and even though I help as much as I can, if he's got to teach, or go to a chess tournament or an academic decathlon event, he has to go. And I will see him when he gets back. Unless he falls into bed, dead tired. Then I will see his hair and maybe his feet. Sticking out of the blankets on a bed that isn't long enough for him.
Did you go to the same school?
We went to the same college - Fight On! - and it makes for a very united front when we watch games at other peoples' houses.
Are you from the same home town?
We are from practically opposite hometowns. My home town was a very humid, flat, sea level place in the Frozen North - and I do mean frozen. Tarzan is from the high altitude, so dry your lips fall off after a few hours because there is no air up there, Rockies with the ski resorts.
Who is smarter?
Tarzan - though it may depend on the subject matter. He is way better at interpolation and he reads much faster than I do. But I like to think I can catch him in the memory department, with the remembering of what we were talking about yesterday stuff.
Who is the most sensitive?
Tarzan.
Where do you eat out most as a couple?
It's hard to pick a "most" eating establishment, we are lucky to have so many in The Jungle, and they are all awesome. Our favorites; The Melting Pot, California Pizza Kitchen, Yokohama, Chipotle and/or the Szechwan Restaurant.
Where is the furthest you two have traveled together as a couple?
Mexico. I know, we don't get out enough.
Who has the craziest exes?
Probably me, since darling Tarzan only has the one. The only other girl he dated with real intent was the summer he MISTAKENLY thought I broke up with him. And I wouldn't call my ex-boyfriends crazy...there were just significantly more of them. Some less sane than others, true. But I speak to most of them once or twice a year.
Who has the worst temper?
Definitely me. Well, I have the loudest temper. Tarzan's is a simmering rage, mine involves yelling and throwing things. Good thing we aren't mad all that often.
Who does the cooking?
Oh I do. Other than the microwave, we don't let Tarzan mess around in the kitchen.
Who is the neat-freak?
Again, I don't think I am a freak, though I certainly put things away more often than Tarzan does. I like to have a neat house, but unless company is coming, I don't flip if there are socks on the floor.
Who is more stubborn?
Totally me.
Who hogs the bed?
Tarzan would say I do, but it's just the fact that he tucks the blankets under his chin and then ROLLS over and ALL the covers end up on his side, so I HAVE to scoot over or I'd freeze.
Who wakes up earlier?
Definitely Tarzan. Jane is just NOT a morning person.
Where was your first date?
My apartment I think. He used to make dinner on Sunday afternoons for me...well he would bring the ingredients and I would make dinner on Sunday afternoons. The first time we went out was to a movie at the $3 theater on campus. I really miss that theater.
Who is more jealous?
Oddly enough, I am. Not that either of us get all stalky and read the other's emails or get mad at an attractive co-worker. Tarzan's just more mellow - and a little oblivious - so it doesn't bother him.
How long did it take to get serious?
Tarzan says he was always serious but I think it wasn't until we kissed and he didn't die from the exchange of germs that he really started thinking about it as more than just a fling.
Who eats more?
Tarzan, no question. He loves his food, but he has really odd eating habits. He does not eat breakfast, lunch is inhaled in 10 minutes and then dinner depends on the meetings that night or whatever. I often wonder if I am really that good a cook or if he even tastes what goes down.
Who does the laundry?
I do, though Tarzan helps with the folding ever since he freaked when I folded his socks together IN PAIRS. It seems they fraternize in the night and it's every sock for itself.
Who's better with the computer?
I am more gentle with and interested in fixing a computer problem, but am also more oblivious to what might cause a problem and therefore need more help in the fixing. Tarzan is work it until it drops and then get a new one.
Who drives when you are together?
Tarzan, unless he's tired or sick and needs me to drive. I will say, we get there faster when I drive.

This is me, with what appears to be a balanced relationship.

What Kind Of Girl Am I?

I've often wondered the answer to this question myself. What kind of girl AM I?
Which choice better defines you?
Pick your answers then pass it along to 20 girlfriends, or however many you want - including me if you want to - and let's see how much we have in common!

1. Mountains or beach? Beach
2. T.V. or books? Depends I suppose, on the book and/or the show
3. Vampire or werewolf? Werewolf
4. Disneyland or Six Flags? Disneyland
5. Bath or Shower? Shower
6. Pedicure or Massage? Massage
7. Cook or reservations? I guess that depends on where and what
8. Biography or fiction? Fiction
9. Prince or cowboy? Prince probably - depends on the Prince of what?

New Month, New Meme

Well, maybe not a new meme. New person tagged me though. My brother - who knew he was into this blogging thing?
Instructions:
This task is to compile a list of your 25 favorite songs. These are songs that you cannot live without. They are songs that have made you who you are. They make up the sound track of your life. They are the songs that you would want with you on a deserted island. These are...okay, you probably get the idea by now.
Once you have the list, tag 25 friends and share it with your world. Then, of course, your friends do the same.
By the way, it would be great to share the name of the artist.
Here is my list (in no particular order, because that would be impossible)
Though I may find selecting ONLY 25 songs to be impossible. I listen to and love a lot of music. How does one choose which song from Wicked is the best song? The whole musical changed my life. And I too have to save #4 because, well, it's awesome.
1. For Good, Wicked (the Broadway Musical)
2. This Is The Moment, Jekyll & Hyde (the Broadway Musical)
3. I Am Woman, Helen Reddy
4. November Rain, Guns 'N Roses
5. Standing Outside The Fire, Garth Brooks
6. Pour Some Sugar On Me, Def Leppard
7. You're The Inspiration, Chicago
8. Pomp And Circumstance, Edward Elgar
9. Jumpin' Jack, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
10. Fever, Peggy Lee
11. Separate Ways (Worlds Apart), Journey
12. Dancing Queen, ABBA
13. Jupiter, Gustav Holst
14. If I Had A $1,000,000, Barenaked Ladies
15. Marble Halls, Enya
16. It's Raining Men, The Weather Girls
17. You're Still You, Josh Groban
18. Oh L'Amour, Erasure
19. Black Velvet Band, The Irish Rovers
20. I Write The Songs, Barry Manilow
21. Stone In Love, Johnny Mathis
22. The Sound Of Silence, Simon and Garfunkel
23. Jesu, Joy Of Man's Desiring, Johann Sebastian Bach
24. Save A Horse Ride A Cowboy, Big & RIch
25. America, Neil Diamond
Since I got chided the last time for no tags, I will include some. There will not be 25 - I don't think I know 25 bloggers - and don't feel you have to, only if you like memes, music and me. Therefore: RHM, Rocketgirl, Elizabeth, Keah, Juliann, Phatfiddle, QC and Lola.

This is me, with my favorite songs. Honorable mention goes to Kristin Chenoweth, Stephanie J. Block, The Carpenters, Reba McIntyre, Yanni, Joan Baez, The Bangles, Idina Menzel, Elvis and John Denver - there just wasn't room for them all.

It's Meme Time

It's been forever since there was a meme to fill out - what with The Back Porch people having been abducted by aliens. (Even the website is gone. What is going on over there?) So I know you've been anxiously awaiting the next list of useless information about me.
This time it's 25 random things, facts, habits or facts about myself.

1. I don't know if there are 25 things about me. I'm really not that deep.
2. I am warmer than Tarzan most of the time, but I do not like the cold or snow.
3. I have moved a lot, but never lived outside of North America.
4. I love animals - we have seven cats.
5. I like parenthetical statements apparently.
6. My sweet tooth is large but specific.
7. I can cook.
8. I really dislike hypocrisy. A lot.
9. I can not tell a joke well.
10. My wish is for red hair and green eyes.
11. I am left handed. So is Tarzan.
12. I read a lot.
13. I hate to clean...but I do...sometimes
14. I might be addicted to my television.
15. Football is my favorite sport - Fight On Trojans!
16. I never want to be the star - always the back-up singer, wing man or sidekick.
17. Not a neat freak, but I need things to be lined up. Square with the desk or table top.
18. I can not play an instrument, sing or read music.
19. I really want kids.
20. I love my laptop.
21. I hate my operating system.
22. There are nine kids in my family.
23. I love long nails but mine break very easily, and often.
24. I try to be a happy person.
25. Tarzan is my reason for living.

This is me, getting the meme on.

In A Word...

I know, but it's been SO LONG since I posted a meme - I think The Back Porch peeps have found something more interesting to occupy their time - I sure hope no one is sick or had something bad happen, then I would feel guilty about mocking their lack of meme-age - and I don't think I have done this one before? The deal is to answer each question with only a single word. I've been told it's harder than it sounds.

My Life Adventures - Part III

I've nearly forgotten what this meme was about to begin with...and the guy from who I stole it, has since moved far, far away so we can't even go protest at his house. The smart thing to do would be to just forget the rest of it but I hate to leave things unfinished. In case you forgot, if you even care and it wouldn't bother me in the slightest if you didn't since apparently neither do I, here's where you can find Part I and Part II. I'm thinking I should have made each of those a little longer so this isn't such a pile to wade through, but yay for this being the last part of the pile!

There Should Be A Note Or Something

The Back Porch peeps have got to stop this skipping of weeks without notifying me. Really puts a crimp in a girl's blogging plans, thinking there will be a meme to post and then suddenly...nothing. Very irksome.
Especially on days like today. Do you ever have a day where you just can't get anything done? Not from lack of trying, believe me, but like you're running in water, no mud. Yeah, running in waist high mud. Exhausting and incredibly time consuming with no visible results. I spent the last four hours driving across town. FOUR HOURS to go 20 miles. I hate that. Driving and driving and getting nowhere. Traffic sucks and traffic on THAT side of town really sucks, so I will never go there again. Never, never, never. Until the next time I have to.
The part before that was okay. I took my sister to one of the local art museums; she has a report on some Greek vase, or oil container or whatever. It's a really nice place. And amazingly clean. I mean there's no dust or anything, even outside. A little weird but cool. Pictures will come later. I am too exhausted right now to contemplate which end of the funny shaped cord fits into which of the many slots available on my camera.

This is me, apologizing for the whiney post.

Daylight Savings Time

What, no Halloween meme? I feel a little gypped Back Porch peeps.
::Onesome: Daylight-- Savings Time is up here in the US this weekend. Ready? Set? Go? ...or will you just wake up and worry about it sometime Sunday?

• I almost forgot we were going to get to change the clocks back. It gets later and later every year. Still, thankfully, it does come and I get that extra hour of sleep. Extremely lovely. And I do make sure to change all the clocks in the house - and there are a lot of them - back before we go to sleep.

::Twosome: Savings--? Hey, do you use coupons when you shop? ...and do you go looking for them online?

• I do use coupons when I can. I have even looked for them online. The problem I find is that the companies issue coupons in the hopes that the consumer will think it's a deal and buy their product. Most of the time the store brand, card and/or an alternate is cheaper, even with the coupon. If we even use that product. I try to get the best deal however possible. If that includes coupons then I use the coupon.

::Threesome: Time-- to batten down the hatches where you are? They've had snow in Ohio and Ottawa; and we may not hit the 80's this weekend in CaliLand: is Winter approaching for you?

• All I can say, is I am SO glad I no longer live in the Frozen North. Cold, cold, snow and cold. For nearly nine months of the year., No. Thank. You. And while it has been warm here in The Jungle for the last month, it is cooling down, a little. Winter is coming, and all too soon we will be crying about how cold it is here too.

This is me, looking forward to the sleeping.

Just Checking In

::Onesome: Just-- the Cell Phone? ...and no land line? How does it pencil out for you: do you need to have both a cell phone and a home phone in your life? How about down the road? Do you see yourself disconnecting from the hard-wired connection?

• I don't think we NEED it, but I don't mind having the land line. For one thing, it gives me a number to fill in on forms and things so I don't have to answer when they call - telemarketers you know - and the land line does not run through batteries nearly as fast as the cell phone does. Also, it's easier to tuck the house phone under your chin while doing dishes or kneading the bread dough than the cell phone.

::Twosome: Checking-- accounts, a thing of the past or something that will be around for a while? I'm wondering how much we're coming around to debit cards and online payments...

• I think we'll keep the checking accounts. There will always be some people who want to write a check and some places that won't take plastic. You give me an incredulous look, but those businesses are out there. They don't want to pay the credit card fee or they want to avoid paying taxes or whatever.

::Threesome: In-- the same vein: how about the net itself? If you're on it for basic communications then what happens when your handheld device becomes your email/chat/and voice communication system? Do you bail from the hardwired home links when wifi becomes just a little more ubiquitous? ...and before you answer, check in with any teen you see walking down the street with their head in the Net!

• Hmm, that's tough. Our home setup isn't hard wired completely. The laptops all have wireless cards so we don't have to be plugged in anymore. But we do have the gateway in the house and we don't really text or check the Internet from our phones. We aren't THAT popular or 'with it', sad to say. I guess it will depend on how fast the technology develops and how cheap it is when it gets here and when they stop selling the stuff that we're already using.

This is me, and your communication questions answered. Well, their questions.

Dodge, Parry and Block

::Onesome: Dodge--? ...as in "Get outa'? Okay, so tomorrow is Friday: where would you go to "get out of Dodge" for a day (if you could, that is)?

• No limits? Like money? Other Side Of The World to see my sister, or Deep South to see Rocketgirl, or The Rockies to see QC. With restrictions? Maybe the beach, or somewhere quiet and green and not blisteringly hot in October.

::Twosome: Parry--? What's your best comeback? ...and yeah, "Oh, yeah?" doesn't count!

• I guess "Ite-Bay Ee-May" doesn't count either then? (That would be "Bite Me" in pig-latin. Umm, is it pathetic that I just say "Shut up?" I'm so not good with the comebacks. In fact, I try not to get in a situation where I need them just because I am so bad at them. Not a fast thinker on her feet, Jane is.

::Threesome: Block-- Parties: do you have them? Apartment get togethers count too. Oh, heck, even dorm keggers, -eh?

• Heh, no. The Jungle does not have block parties. Closest we come is fourth of July when all the illegal fireworks are going off from neighboring houses and we all go out in the street to watch or warn them if the police come. And speaking of the police; the station down the block ropes off the street for a weekend to scare the kids of the neighborhood to death near Halloween. Does that count?

This is me, with a less than stellar meme.

Seven Stupid Things

I pondered what magnificent things to regale you with today - the thumb does feel much better now thank you so much - and then I remembered I was tagged for a meme last week! Thanks Rocketgirl!
So with no further ado, seven stupid things about me:

1. I am not any good at playing strategy games. Chess, checkers, Chinese checkers, Risk, whatever. No good. I don't know if it's because I don't look far enough ahead or if I just don't have any vision. Give me a good game of chance, on the other hand, and my odds go up considerably.
2. My right foot is almost (3/4-ish) a full size larger than my left. Makes it tough to buy shoes.
3. I do not like to sleep flat. I need soft and cushy support when I sleep. The six pillows on our bed are evenly divided during the day, but come the night Tarzan takes one, maybe two, and the remaining find their way to my side.
4. I hate mayonnaise.
5. I read the newspaper comics while eating breakfast every day. The whole day seems off if I can't.
6. The Jeopardy theme is perpetually stuck in my head.
7. My back is nearly always itchy. Best present I can get is for someone to scratch my back.

This is me, whew. That was harder than I thought it would be.

Your Milage May Vary

::Onesome: Your-- ability to see beyond the horizon is limited only by your imagination. Discuss!

• I should just say, yes! That's true. We are our only limit. But that's not entirely true. It doesn't matter how hard we believe or try it's unlikely we are going to be able to fly. So, I temper with: within reason, yes. If we believe and try hard enough and are willing to work for it, then yes, nearly everything is possible.

::Twosome: mileage may-- be lower for some drivers due to variables like under-inflated tires or speeding up to get to the next red light. Hmmm... Any tips out there for those trying to stretch their fuel dollars?

• Don't speed up to get to the next red light. Also, make sure your tires are inflated properly and all the intake valves or whatever are clean. Change the oil, the coolant/anti-freeze. Don't keep heavy things in your trunk. Also, keep an eye out for the cheapest gas so you know where to go when you need to fill up. Walk whenever you can. Take public transportation. Ride your bike.

::Threesome: Vary-- this, vary that, and pretty soon you've broken up a routine. Here's one: what routine of yours really needs to have a little variation introduced? (I'll exclude changing the flavor of your Friday evening ice cream snack; while a little change may be good, radical events should be planned out!)

• I don't know if I have any routines. Is that good or bad? I try and get the dishes in the dishwasher right after dinner...does that need a stirring up? Wednesdays I take the snack for Tarzan's book club to his school because he always forgets it. Maybe my shower routine could be altered. Shave my legs first, THEN shampoo my hair? I am a radical.

This is me, with the meme from The Back Porch peeps.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

::Onesome: "Goodbye,--Norma Jean"? Hmmm.... Best song ever? ...or did he top himself when he adapted it for Princess Diana?

• I was never too enthralled with either of them. The songs. But the first one made more sense to me. The second one was just a bid for attention.

::Twosome: Yellow--lights: run 'em or slam on the brakes? ...or do you plan your speed so you never hit them yellow? ...or maybe, "What yellow light, Officer?"

• I like to think of myself as a safe driver, so it all depends on the yellow light. Close enough to run it? Likelihood the left hand turn-er from the other lane will kill me if I do. Police officer nearby? Was I paying attention? Things like that make all the difference.

::Threesome: Brick Road--s and flying monkeys? Okay, did those things just creep you out? ...or were you one of those people who really, really, really wanted one for a pet? Just askin'...

• I was not creeped out by the flying monkeys. And after seeing Wicked, it all makes a certain kind of sense. Though I never did, and still don't want one for a pet. It's all make-believe you know.

This is me, too many memes for the week?

Eight Is Great

The show: Too. Many. Dances. Thirteen couples is a lot of people to keep track of. Suffice it to say that there was lots of dancing, Cody and Julianne had an awesome song (I Want You To Want Me), Cloris was hilarious again, Bruno said Rocco had "hips of fury" and I was sad but not surprised when Jeffrey got sent home. Stupid way to open a season though; standing for two hours, no warm up time, and all the stress of wondering. Plus there was one more dance to do after we found out who was going home? Weird. Uncomfortable I would think.
The apology: Well, now I feel the right loser of a person. After crying like a child day before yesterday, Keah went and edited her blog so that I could shut the freak up and just post the meme. I am such a whiner. And she is such a nice person. I don't deserve to be her in my next life.
(And here I am whining again! Gah! Is there a whiners anonymous or a whiners rehab a person could check into?)
