Twenty Days, Twenty Questions

Since my sister-in-law made me all warm and fuzzy by naming me "the friend you have had the longest that you are sending this to" on this meme yesterday, and in honor of this being the 20th day of continuous posting... I have decided to post my replies to the first 20 of the 42 questions. I may post the remainder tomorrow. Or the next day. Or not... who can say? I'm very mysterious like that.

1. What is your occupation?
Domestic Goddess. Mommy. Photographer. Beck and Call Girl.

2. What color are your socks right now?
I know not of these "socks" of which you speak. Haven't you heard? I'm always barefoot and in the kitchen. (Though, blessedly, not pregnant at the moment, thankyouverymuch.)

3. What are you listening to right now?
The hum of my laptop and the clickety-clack of the keys.

4. What was the last thing that you ate?
Pork Tamales from Anitas. I'm such a sucker for good tamales.

5. Can you drive a stick shift?
Bet your sweet booty I can. I'm classy like that.

6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
green

7. Last person you spoke to on the phone?
Photo client. Getting the stats for her baby to put on the sample birth announcement.

8. Do you like the person who sent this to you?
Very much, actually. It's really awesome having sisters-in-law who ignore the whole "in-law" part. And she likes granny crafting as much as I do, so I know we would totally have each others' backs in a brawl. You can put your trust in someone who knows what a french knot is, baby.

9. How old are you today?
27 going on 104

11. What is your favorite sport to watch?
Hockey if it's in person. If I have to watch sports on TV I usually stick to the Super Bowl and sometimes watching a season game with T.

12. Have you ever dyed your hair?
Me? Never.

...

What?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Oh, alright!!

Yes. My hair color changes have been known to be frequent and sometimes violent. Happy?

13. Favorite curse word?
Frak. (Thanks be to Battlestar Galactica. So say we all.)

14. Pets?
2 cats, a boxer puppy, and a beta fish named "Ultra". So yes, quite.

15. Favorite food?
Ethnic foods... Indian, Ethiopian, Thai, etc....

16. What was the last movie you watched?
Cars. Actually, I think you could safely say Cars is the last 4 or 5 movies I have watched. Jack is just a teeny bit obsessed with it. But he can quit anytime he wants to. Seriously. It's not a problem. Don't be misled - the shaking hands are probably from the entire package of snow-man peeps he ate and nothing to do with withdrawals from not watching it again today...

17. Favorite day of the year
Christmas Eve. I'm all about the anticipation.

18. What do you do to vent anger?
Screaming is always good. Vacuuming helps too. If I can combine to two, so much the better -- the vacuum drowns out my yelling.

19. What was your favorite toy as a child?
The stuffed bunny rabbit I got for my sixth birthday. I just passed it down to Jack, when he started having trouble with fear of the dark again.

20. What is your favorite - Fall or Spring?
Fall. Like I said, it's all about the anticipation, and there is so much to look forward to in the fall -- beginning with the fall harvest rituals (the Renn Faire, the apple cider, pumpkin patch, corn mazes and hay rides...) and ending with Christmas and New Years. I love good food, holiday magic, and lots of company. I was made for the last 3 months of the year.

Hi Mel, long time stalker, rare time poster.
If you have troubles getting Jack off Cars, let me know and we'll start a country wide support group, a bunch of 3 year olds helping each other learn to survive without Lightning and Mater. I know I'm gonna need something soon.
