It is funny, when I committed to blogging everyday, I thought I'd have trouble coming up with stuff to write about. I've had just the opposite problem....I got too much swimming around in this big ole' head of mine.
We are trying to get our stuff together to hit the road to Dallas for OU/Texas weekend. The significance of the weekend is that it will be our first trip without kid(s) in almost nine years. Seriously, I suppose we are overdue. I am not really worried about leaving them, because they are in good hands. Little Sister does have a wricked cold...but I am sure she'll be pampered beyond measure while we are away.
WB is a little "chapped" at us because he doesn't get to go. "About 30% of my friends are going!" (Seriously, in 3rd grade how do you even know how many friends you have and further, can you really figure 30%?) "Did you get front row seats?" (Obviously, the boy has no concept of the magnitude of OU/Texas and the fact that those with front row seats either contribute $15 million a year, or have had them since 1907.) Finally, "Will you raise your hands really high, higher than anyone else in your section, and wave all the time so that I can find you on the TV?" (Sure baby, your mama is gonna make a big spectacle of herself. I'm sure the cameras are gonna pick that up. You just look for me.) Bless the boy. He makes my heart smile.
Finally, Erin stepped up to my silly challenge, so I'm answering her questions: (Feel free to stop reading right here...I'm more than a little boring...)
Whats your favorite color?
Red...nothing else comes close.
How late did you stay up last night and why?
I am a true late owl...I am usually still surfing at 1:00 a.m. and have to force myself to shutdown by 2:00.
If you could move somewhere else, would you?
Absolutely!
What would you do if someone told your biggest secret?
Be embarrassed. Isn't that why we have secrets?
Do you think relationships are ever really worth it?
Some yes, some no. I don't do drama so I don't have a lot to do with those that create unnecessary drama.
Where do you wish you were right now?
Laying in bed and listening to the ocean, in a stilted hut over the Pacific in Bora Bora.
Is anything bothering you right now?
Yeah, I'm bothered a lot lately.
Do you like your life right now?
I am blessed beyond measure. I’m working on trying to appreciate that more. I’m always a work in progress. (I totally stole that word for word from Erin because I couldn't have said it better!)
Who was the last person you hung out one-on-one with?
WB and I went to the grocery store this evening and shopped for junk food for him to enjoy this weekend with his babysitter. We dug through all the pumpkin bins out front and picked out 4 beauties. We really had a fun time!
What car do you want?
A safe one that gets me to point A to point B and that doesn’t require a monthly payment. (Stolen too...good answer!)
What’s the best way to tell someone you love them?
Try not to piss them off.
Have you ever flirted with someone just to get something?
Is it really possible to honestly say "No" to this question? I think not. Doesn't everyone?
What are you looking forward to this weekend?
Not working on Friday and going to Dallas.
Have you ever done something you told yourself you wouldn’t do?
Occasionally, although it happens less often the older I get. I'm either wiser, or smart enough to not draw my lines in the sand.
How have you been feeling today?
Tired. Always tired. 2:00 am will do that to you....
Last thing you broke?
My car window tonight...it wouldn't go back up.
Last food you ate?
Ben and Jerry's Heath Crunch for dinner.
Is there anybody that you trust 100%?
There are a few that I trust 100%, about 98% of the time.
Does love scare you?
Never has, never will...it rules.
Do you believe ex’s can be friends?
I haven't had an "x" in 24 years...I can't even remember the concept. Anything is "possible."
What would you do if you won the lottery?
Please refer to the question above regard where I'd like to be right now! Bora Bora Baby! In addition to that, I'd go to the casino all the time and just "play."
Night out or night in?
I could always use a night out but for the most part, I love being at home. (Stolen...again!)
Last time you were confused?
Yesterday, trying to understand WHY I SUCK AT WORD CHALLENGE!!!
Do you cry easily?
I cry at movies, I cry at commercials, I cry when I feel proud, I cry when I think about how blessed I am, I cry in my car driving down the road when I'm stressed and overwhelmed...I cry just about everywhere except at work and in front of my boy (cause it freaks him out).
Are you hurt easily?
I get disappointed in people a lot, but I am over being hurt by them.
Are you proud of the person you’ve become?
I don't always say or do the right thing, but my heart is in the right place and I'm proud of that. I am proud of the parent I am. I have, at times, been proud of my career accomplishments, but not so much anymore. However, I do have a good job and make a substantial financial contribution to our family income and I'm proud of that.
