Ten Tiny Tings...

Big Daddy tagged me... So here are my Ten Tiny Tings...

1. When you were born, how much did you weigh?

5lbs. 4oz. ... I got here a little early... 4 weeks.

2. What's you're sugar poison?

Ben & Jerry's 2Twisted Everything But The... or
Peanut Butter Cup

3. If you had to choose between meat and cheese for the rest of your life,
which would you choose? Then be specific.

I would have to say Meat... Mmmmm Meat... Meat good...
Chicken, fish, pork... I'm not big on the red meat.

4. What, is your opinion, is the worst song ever?

Bobby McFerrin's Don't Worry Be Happy (1988)... Jeebus H this song drives
me fuckin' bonkers... I hated it when it came out... My own private hell
will be trapped in a room with this song playing on a loop... I'm just sayin'

5. Who was your favorite teacher growing up and why?

I would have to say Mrs. Mitchell... She was my 7th and 12th grade
English/Literature teacher... (She switched from Middle School to High School
some where in there) She was an amazing woman... She was the first teacher that
treated us as adults, equals, and sparked my love of reading... Comics, Sci/Fi... She
was awesome.

6. What personal activity, when performed in public, bothers you the most?

Although the nail thing is pretty nasty... I would have to say, blocking one nostril
and blowing through the other to clear it out, is something I would rather not see...
Having grown up in the south, it's quite common to see older gentlemen do this
outside... It's just nasty.

7. Ok, there's a $50 bill lying on the ground. You pick it up. Dumbfounded by your incredible luck, what do you selfishly purchase?

First I would check to see if anyone around me dropped it, If no one is around... I
guess I would stop by my local arcade and play for hours... Hmmm What a perfect day.

8. Do you have a recurring nightmare? If so, explain.

I don't remember much of my dreams as an adult... I had night terrors as a child,
screaming bloody murder in the middle of the night... breaking windows with bare
hands trying to escape from the house... sleep walking... and recurring nightmares...

One in particular, vividly stands out... I'm in a Semi truck (no trailer), no driver
we are on a windy dirt road in the woods... through the trees I can see a clearing
and a house... the lights are on... circling the house are old cars, trucks, and big
machines, like bulldozers and dump trucks (no drivers)... There are people trapped
in the house... Children... I have to get them out... I have to protect them... There is a
flash... I'm inside the house... I'm holding a girl telling her everything is going to be
fine... we are standing at the window... I see through the trees a Semi (no trailer)
no driver... I know help is coming... I hear a loud horn, and a crash... I would then
wake up screaming...
I can still see those images in my head, smell the smells, hear the horn... It still creeps
me out... What can I say... I'm a freak.

9. Name one place on Earth you've never been, but vow to visit at least once.

Egypt... I really need to see the pyramids... and maybe ride a camel.

10. You notice that question #9 wasn't really a question. You feel smart for catching such a small detail. What else can you do really well that reminds you how smart you are?

Ohhh... # 9 wasn't a question...

I tag Ms. Ashbourne, Kaori, Sue, Mistress Jessica, Katie O.... Ready Steady GO!

I Stole This From Sue.... ;)

Your Superpower Should Be Manipulating Fire

You are intense, internally driven, and passionate. Your emotions are unpredictable - and they often get the better of you. Both radiant and terrifying, people are drawn to you. At your most powerful, you feel like the world belongs to you. Why you would be a good superhero: You are obsessive enough to give it your all Your biggest problem as a superhero: Your moodiness would make it difficult to control your powers

What Should Your Superpower Be?



... I am not MOODY!

Missing My Chipmunks...

Monday, I went to the Doctor... We do a check up every 6 months... She likes to keep an eye on my cholesterol, and I like to keep an eye on the hottie at the front desk... apparently I missed one, so it's been a little over a year... We go through our normal routine... As I'm getting ready to leave... Do you want a flu shot?... um no, thanks tho... those things make me nervous...
(side note: My Doc has no sense of humor)... Every time I go, It reminds me this... I went, I was actually sick...
Doc- Well Syn... It looks like you have Acute Bronchitis...
Me- Awww, Thanks... Doc, are you hitting on me?
Nothing... Not even a half smile... You could hear crickets... (giggle)
The rest of my Monday is filled with errands... got a Christmas tree (Ugly Betty Style)... do a little Christmas shopping, this and that... Monday night feeling a little run down...
Tuesday, get up, get ready for work... about mid-day, I feel like shit... I head back to the Doctor's office, she checks me out... I feel so bad, I'm not even looking at hottie... She gives me my meds...I go home and go to bed... sleep, eat soup, sleep, water, sleep, pee, sleep... I'm not sure what day it was, I woke up, freezing... I put on clothes, get a blanket and lay back down... I woke up again... This is my train of thought, apparently I had a fever...
not sure what time it is it's dark I can't lift my head to see the clock don't even know if my eyes are open Ciccoco (roommate) is trying to kill me I know he's got the air on it's so cold he hates me I need to call Cinny (sister) she will know what to do she has kids she's gone through this before I mean you know you've had a fever but chills are different starve a fever feed a cold or is it feed a fever starve a cold I can't call her its probably like 3:00 in the morning how am I gonna get all that ice in the bathtub... and so on...
You get the idea... yeah, I had a fever 103.something... I have to tell you tho, I was a little disappointed... The last time I had a fever, I think it got up to 104...
I had hallucinations, not just delirium... I was laying in bed... There were chipmunks running around my room... No, not Alvin, not Chip and Dale... no clothes, more like Snow White... they ran around the room... jumping from here to there... Surprisingly, they didn't knock anything over... at one point... one of them jumped to the bed, close to me, but not too close... he just looked at me... I think he was trying to figure out why I didn't go to work that day... Hmmm...
I sure do miss them...

As Always, Be Kind To Yourselves... I'm Fine Thanks For Asking...
