Tagged again!

Mindy tagged me for this meme, and since she kicks all the ass, I am happy to oblige.

A- Available or married?  Married, and about to hit my 2-year anniversary.

B- Best Friend?  C-dawg, aka Carrie, aka Shaquanita. She totally gets me.

C - Cake or Pie?  Cake, fo' shizzle. I don't understand that pie nonsense.

D- drink of choice?  Venti Peppermint mocha frappucchino with no whip cream. Times 50.

E- Essential Item?  Lately? My sewing machine. I'm addicted to sewing lately.

F- Favorite Color?  Green. All shades.

G- Gummi Bears or Worms?  Bears. The real kind, like we used to have in Germany.

H- Hometown?  I guess where I am now. Close enough, right?

I- Indulgence?  Sweets. I have a huge sweet tooth. And the cavities to go with it. Yum!

J- January or February?  Sure.

K- Kids & names?  Yes, and yes. I'm currently in love with the name Penelope. I think someone needs to let me name their daughter, or pet, or something, just so it gets used. The first one to suggest that I have another kid and name it Penelope will be rewarded with a swift kick to the groin.

L- Life is incomplete without?  Coffee. And, my family. But mostly coffee.

M- Marriage Date?  March 26th, 2005.

N- Number of Siblings?  Uno. (That means "one" in Spanish. I'm so cool and very multi-lingual.)

O- Oranges or apples?  Apples. Fuji. Oranges are gross and have pulp and weird bits.

P- Phobias/Fears?  Iderspay. They're effing gross, and creepy, and now I'm getting the heebie jeebies. Oh, also, I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm totally afraid of the dark, and I even sleep with the light on.

Q- Favorite Quote?  Of the moment? "Sportin' a cooch."  It's the new catchphrase around here.  We like it, because we're classy.

R- Reason to Smile?  Tomorrow's payday.

S- Season?  Right now, I'm just happy to live somewhere that actually has them.

T- Tag three people!  Yo mama.

U- Unknown fact about me:  My thumbs are double jointed.

V- Vegetable you hate?  Broccoli. Cauliflower. Brussel sprouts. All are of the devil.

W- Worst habit?  I have lots of those.

Y- Your favorite food?  Right now I have a thing for salad. I know, boring.

Z- Zodiac?  Western = Taurus. Eastern = Horse. Either way you look at it, I'm some kind of stinky beast of burden. Don't be jealous.

Tagged, and recent obsessions.

I was tagged by the fabulous Marita to list 5 "food things", so here I go:

1.  I hate broccoli.  I hate the texture, I hate the smell it has while cooking, I hate the way it looks like little trees.  It's just wrong.

2.  I love to bake, and I love to cook, but I have to have a recipe.  I'm very, very, very bad at making things up on my own.  In fact, I suck at it.

 3.  My favorite food ever is my mom's philly cheesesteak sandwiches.  They're terribly messy, and she hates making them, so she will usually only make them once a year.  On my birthday.

4.  I prefer wheat bread to white bread.

5.  Pancakes are my comfort food, but I don't eat them very often.

********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************* 

In recent explorations of the internet, I have come across some sites with which I am totally obsessed.  Some are crafty, some are artsy, some are photo feeds.  I thought I'd be a dear, and share them with you.

You're welcome.

I'm really good at exploring the internet.  I'm a weblorer.  Or an explernet-er.  Or someone who needs to get her butt off the computer and go work on some projects.

Word.

Because I don't have my hands full as it is...

Things I have a mind to finish. One day. Maybe soon. Maybe not-so-soon. We'll see.

Crafts To-Do:

Charlie’s doll
Clothes for Charlie’s doll
Clothes for Flu
Long sleeved t-shirts for Phoebe – hemp jersey
Pants for Phoebe – blue floral cord, PRR cord
PJ bottoms for me – Chinese lantern print?
Sort through crayons, make new ones
Case for Marissa’s DS
Sock monkeys
Tissue holders
Play skirts with fold-over waist
Pocket dipes
Pocket pads
Resize purse pattern?
Pants for mom’s b-day
Kimono for J's b-day?
Mend Marissa’s snowsuit
Quilt for our bedroom

Okay. So maybe I added the crayon thing to my list at the last minute. So, I'm a liar. At least I'm a liar with goals.

TJ Bearytales strikes.

Our little "animal sounds" drill:

Me:  Phoebe, what does a dog say?
Phoebe: Arf, arf!
Me: What does a kitty say?
Phoebe: Meow!
Me: What does an owl say?
Phoebe: Hoot, hoot!
Me: What does a bear say?
Phoebe: He tells stories!

Yeah.   

 

 

 

**P.S.  I totally love that Squarespace has a feature that allows you to publish your entries at a future date and time.  I think Typepad had it, but you had to pay more for it, or something.  Anyway, I could've written this a week ago, and had it all prepared (like a report due for school, no?) and set it to publish today.  Score!  Although I probably ruined it a little by telling you that, eh?  Whatevah.
