25 Today. 25 Tomorrow.

1. How tall are you barefoot?
5'4"
2. Have you ever smoked heroin?
Heroin is smoked? I thought you inserted it with a needle. Either way, the answer is no.
3. Do you own a gun?
That's a loaded question. *Snort* I recently purchased three soft air guns. And I am so very tired of picking up those little green balls. What? I should make it a rule that they don't get to do target practice in the house? YOU tell them.
4. Do you get nervous before meeting the parents?
Say wut? What parents? My kids' "girlfriends'" parents? My "boyfriend's" parents? I don't even know how to answer this.
5. What was your favorite grade in school?
It's a tie. Grade 5 was good and so was grade 10.
6. What do you think of hot dogs?
Nothing but good memories wrapped up in hotdogs. When the kids were very little, my sister and I would meet at the Orange Julius in the mall and buy our kids weiners without the bun. (I was back there last week. You know what? The young gal that was serving hotdogs back then IS STILL THERE
7. What's your favorite Christmas song?
Do you hear what I hear?
8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning?
Not much of a morning drinker. Or a morning eater. Or a morning participater. That said, just so we're all clear, my first swallow other than spit is usually water. Sometime around 10:30 am I'll have a cup of Earl Grey Tea because I am civilized.
9. Do you do push-ups?
Only the bra type. But lately the underwire has been bugging me. Maybe I should just let them slip under my armpits.
10. What are you planning?
Clint's going to be turning 19 in less than a month, so I'm thinking of how to celebrate this milestone.
11. Are you vegan?
I am a proud carnivore.
12. Do you like painkillers?
I've only had them after c-sections and dental surgery. Each time they kinda messed with my mind. At first I like that floaty feeling. But the crashing and falling sensation that followed was too trippy for my liking.
13. What is your secret weapon to lure in the opposite sex?
I can't answer this. It's so private. If I shared my secrets, then everyone would be dating and flirting... I'd have too much competition.
14. Do you own a knife?
No. Not one. We only use spoons in my house. I am against sharp objects and aerosol cans.
15. Do you have A.D.D.?
Of course. Doesn't everybody?
16. Middle Name?
Marlena-Bena-Banna-Fanna-Fo-Feenah. They were making up for giving me such a plain first name.
17. Top 3 thoughts at this exact moment:
1. I wish Clint was home. He's out with his uncles. In Vancouver. Celebrating a 50th birthday.
2. My feet are cold. I should put socks on. Or just go to bed.
3. I'm a dork
18. Name the last 3 things you have bought.
1. Eight dozen cookies. I'm on "cookie duty" tomorrow at church.
2. Flowers for my sister. She's 40 today.
3. Chicken Club Pizza for me for supper.
19. Name five drinks you regularly drink?
Now this will be an exciting answer. Read carefully. Water, Tea, Orange Juice, RootBeer,Cream Soda
20. What time did you wake up today?
6:00am because Clint put his dirty work clothes in the dryer to "warm them up" before putting them on and going to work.
21. Current hair?
Just like that profile pic. It hasn't changed in the past 6 months. Heck, it hasn't changed in the past 6 years.
22. Current worry?
Current as in this moment current? Two things: How big will the bags be under my eyes tomorrow in church. (Me and the kids are "greeters", welcoming everyone as they come through the front doors. ) And the second thing I've already mentioned... Clint getting home before dawn.
23. Current hate?
My constant companion, this stomach that rests on my thighs.
24. Favorite places to be?
Someplace warm and near a body of water. And with my kids.
25. Least favorite place to be?
Flat on my back with my legs in stirrups. TMI?
OK, new answer -
My garage. It has become a dumping ground for all things garbagy. My blood pressure rises whenever I enter that space.

That's it for tonight.
Yawn.
Maybe I'll go pray for awhile,


Shalom,
