Saturday Night Meme

So I was tagged by Hope, because I really am a very slow runner.

1) What is something that you have done that you regret?

I remember really losing my temper at this child that was in the day camp where I used to be a counselor back in my late teens and early twenties. Yes, he was being a jerk, but I took him to task in front of the camp in a very hard manner. Knowing what I know now about children and their self-esteem, I never ever should have done that.

2) Name one thing about yourself that very few people know.

I can smell anything miles away. Don't ever think that you can "squeak" something by, because you can't. As Hubba-hubba is well aware.

3) Have you ever cried to a love song?

Good grief, what woman hasn't sat there at least one time in her life and took the excuse of a good love song to bawl her eyes out? I say you are inhuman if you haven't. "Sad Eyes" always does it for me.

4) What are your three "WORST" qualities?

My critical-ness. My nitpicking (with certain privileged people) can probably be a bit much. I blame my mom. In fact, when I am being very critical, Hubba-hubba will call me by my mother's name.

My seeming inablility to fold laundry in a timely manner. It is probably some kind of passive-aggressiveness on my part.

I also have one that is a bit of a paradox. I have a very giving, kind heart. Because of that, it has been stomped on too many times for me to even count. So as a result, I am more hardened and suspicious than I used to be. But really, it is a self-defense mechanism.


5) Aside from your blog...which other blog could you not live without?

I plead the 5th. And AC, this is an American blog, so I can do just that!

6) What is your favorite body part on YOUR body and why?

Hmmmm, so many to choose from. Probably my eyes. They tend to be the thing I get the most compliments on, and I agree. I have no shortage of self-esteem over here, you're right.

7) Are you gay, straight, or bisexual?

I am straight. Unusual question, but I'll go for it.

8) What's your passion?

Hmmmm, I have many. I would have to say that my most important one is raising my son to the best of my ability.

9) When are you going to put a picture up?

I like the one I have, it will stay for a while.

10) What do you hope to be doing within the next 5 years?

Raising hopefully another child and being healthy and content with my life, whatever stage it may be in.

11) If you could have any job, what would it be?

Antique dealer.

13) Where are you going on your next vacation?

Well, I have a wedding I am invited to in July that is about a 6 hour drive north, and I am contemplating turning that into a mini-vacation.

14) If you could turn back time and redo something, what would it be?

I probably would have put more emphasis on doing well in college. I pretty much coasted through, dropping in and out on whims. It took me almost 7 years to finish. But gosh, those whims were fun. I just wish my GPA would have been a bit better.


As for tagging, if you like what you see, feel free.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was...

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure...

D-A-N-G

As with all young children, for a very long time we parents rely on the old "spell the word out" trick for talking about things in front of them that we don't want them to know. Well, our time seems just about up. Hubba-hubba was trying to tell me about an upcoming event in which Santa would be making an appearance. As Mr. P is very much into Christmas this year, we knew that any mention of Santa would bring a long soliliquoy about how Santa is magic and how he makes the toys and how he has a list and on and on and on. And at that moment, we just didn't feel like hearing it. Don't judge people, don't judge. So, Hubba-hubba spelled out "S-A-N-T-A." "Hey, what did you just say?" said the five year old. "Nothing" lied replied his father. "I know what you said, Daddy! You said Santa!" Anybody know a place that sells semaphore flags?
