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

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

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
