a little survey

The blogworld is a neat thing. Every once in a blue moon, I check my stat counter and see who's linking to me and how many hits I'm getting. Once a couple of months ago, I discovered that someone named NesaScraps linked to me. So I followed the link back to HER, and have stalked her ever since. I have no clue how she found me, but there she is, and now, in this weird random thing called Blogdom, she's become my blogfriend. I stole this survey from her. :)

1. Is your second toe longer than your first?

Yep. Doesn't that mean I rule the world or something?

2. Do you have a favorite type of pen?

LePen. Seriously. Narrow barrel, plastic tip. My very best handwriting ever comes out of those pens. I have 'em in every color - brown and cobalt are my favorites. I'd use 'em in my scrapbooks except the dern ink FADES, and that will NEVER do.

3. Look at your planner for March 14, what are you doing?

Um, I may be the only person on the planet who doesn't do planners. I keep it all in my head, or if it's REALLY important, scrawled on the chalkboard in my kitchen.

4. What color are your toenails usually?

no color. Sometimes in summer, if reaching down there doesn't suffocate me, I paint 'em red.

5. What was the last thing you highlighted?

Dani's hair. The highlights barely showed up when I first did it, but now it seems like the highlights have taken over her head. Her hair just keeps getting lighter!

6. What color are your bedroom curtains?

Drab. Yes, that's a color. Don't believe me? Come to my bedroom.

7. What color are the seats in your car?

Gray

8. Have you ever had a black and white cat?

Socks was black with white... socks. Had him when I was little - like 4. When I was a preteen, we had a black and white cat named Orphan. She was an... orphan. My Mom refused to let her in the house.

9. What is the last thing you put a stamp on?

an envelope addressed to Swartz Creek, MI, containing a check for $10 - payment WAY overdue to a fellow scrapper whose been kind enough not to sic Guido and Sal on me!

10. Do you know anyone who lives in Wyoming?

Surely I do. I know someone in Montana. Wyoming? Hmmmm.

11. Why did you withdraw cash from the ATM the last time?

So Aidan could have lunch money for school

12. Who is the last baby that you held?

Lety's beautiful baby Nyla, at the Fortress scrapbooking retreat. Ahhhh. Sweet sweet baby girl!

13. Do you know of any twins with rhyming names?

nope. Can't think of any that rhyme.

14. Do you like Cinnamon toothpaste?

love it! Why can't I find Close-Up anymore??

15. What kind of car were you driving 2 years ago?

a sad purple minivan. Sad because I hated it so much and never failed to tell it so. I was SO too cool for that minivan. LOL!

16. Pick one: Miami Hurricanes or Florida Gators.

huh?

17. Last time you went to Six Flags

Last Christmas (2005), we took our kids and our neices to Holiday in the Park. We'll probably go again this summer, as the boys will be tall enough to finally ride some good stuff.

18. Do you have any wallpaper in your house?

Duckie border in the kids' bathroom. Other than that, worse, I have padded fabric on the walls in the stairwell and in the KITCHEN. I've already removed padded fabric from three rooms. Previous homeowners were evidently psycho.

25. How many emails do you have?

email addresses? Four. my business one, my gmail one that I use primarily, my yahoo one that I use for stuff I figure will generate spam and junk mail, and my charter one, which I'm phasing out, in anticipation of the day I drop kick Charter and their ilk to the proverbial curb.

26. Last time you received flowers?

Last summer, from Aidan. A weed from the yard, but it's the closest thing to flowers I've gotten in a good year.

27. Do you think the sanctity of marriage is meant for only a man & woman?

I think God intended for marriage to be between a man and woman, but I don't think government has any business mandating that.

28. What are you listening to right now?

the crackly sound the air filters make when the heat is running (DANG it's cold here!)

29. Do you play air guitar?

Nope. Air drums. (Me too, Nesa! 'Cept mine's usually Steering Wheel drums)
