I've been tagged by Irb (http://irbslice.blogspot.com/) (look...I can't make the hyperlinks work on this piece of crap!) to list 5 little known things about myself...so here goes...

1. I am an only child.
2. I can drink a lot of beer, but one glass of wine sends me over the edge (I went to school in West Texas, ok??).
3. I didn't get my ears pierced until I was 30 because I was scared. This really wouldn't be weird, except I am a diabetic and I give 6 insulin injections per day. Can shoot up, but fearful of holes in my ears. Yeah..I know...
4. I am actually very shy. Hard to tell on a blog, and actually, hard to tell in person..but I am. Irby would probably argue against that.
5. I don't regret not having kids...ever... Kids are ok, I just never had the desire to have 'em.

PMS Sucks

What is it about that time right before grandma comes to visit, that we women lose all control of logic and reasoning? Why do we go through this? And why must my ankles decide to swell up like stuffed sausages by the end of the day (bloating..fun for all)? I hate it. Actually, right now, I hate just about everything. And of course, I come in and have a (#*@&*@&*#(* meeting scheduled until 5:30 (I usually leave at 4 to avoid massive Dallas traffic). Why do we have to go through this time where sure, we know we're being unreasonable, irritable, crabby bitches, yet we proceed to be this way regardless? It just sucks and makes for a VERY long day. You men have NO idea how lucky you are. Right now I just wanna bitchslap someone for no reason. Sure..I know it isn't right, but hell..I wanna do it anyway. I think I'll go run over my uterus now.

Back When Music Was Good!!

It's at times like this, the great Heaven knows, that we wish we had, not so many clothes....

Ahhh the words of the great Adam Ant. I miss 80s music. It was so much better back then. I have found a stash of great tunes on one of our servers here at work and have been cranking them out in my headphones all day. TONS of 80s music..and the good stuff, not crap like Herbie Hancock (I apologize to those fans of Herbie). Ultravox, REM, The Fixx, Duran Duran...ahhh the good ole days...

Feast One Hundred & Thirty One
Appetizer

What sound, other than the normal ringing, would you like your telephone to make?

None..I hate the phone. I know, so not your typical female. Trust me, if you were EVER a receptionist in a retirement home, you'd hate the phone too.

Soup

Describe your usual disposition in meteorological terms (partly cloudy, sunny, stormy, etc.).

Partly Cloudy, High Humidity

Salad

What specific subject do you feel you know better than any other subjects?

Like a school subject? Hmm...I guess Hospitality since that was my major and it is what I teach. In general, I feel I am pretty knowledgeable about airplanes and flying oh and weather. I'm a closet meteorologist..LOVE the Weather Channel. It is MTV for old people.

Main Course

Imagine you were given the ability to remember everything you read for one entire day. Which books/magazines/newspapers would you choose to read?

Oh dear..since I don't like to read, and the extent of my reading is either textbooks for school or People Magazine..well....I'm going with People Magazine.

Dessert

If a popular candy maker contacted you to create their next confection, what would it be like and what would you name it?

Well, my dear friend Staci calls me Kimmy Rimmy Roco Ruff (yes, usually after much alcohol consumption), I'm thinking something chocolatey with crunchy things in it. Call it Kimmy's Roco!

Six Weird Things About Me

* When I eat at a cafeteria (Luby's), I eat my salad last.
* Every toilet lid in my house must be down. If I see a toilet lid up (this is often since the love of my life and my husband, Scott, doesn't quite get this), I must close it immediately. I think my mother instilled this weirdism in me.
* I have the ability (skill?) to spend down to the very last penny when I have cash.
* I love doing math...especially without a calculator. This could be because my mother was a math teacher and my daddy a nuclear physicist.
* I'm an education snob. Is that weird or bitchy..or both????
* I love driving a stick shift.

Friday's Feast #130

Feast One Hundred & Thirty
Appetizer - Have you been sick yet this winter? If so, what did you come down with?

Does the *spot* on my pancreas count?

Soup - What colors dominate your closet?

Black..and no, I'm not goth.

Salad - How would you describe your personal "comfort zone"?

Sitting in my jammy bottoms in my favorite chair watching TV.

Main Course - On which reality show would you really like to be a contestant?

I guess Wheel of Fortune doesn't count huh? If I were young and single, Real World would be pretty cool.

Dessert - Which holiday would you consider to be your favorite?

Used to be New Year's..now..I guess Thanksgiving.

Kids Today Do WHAT?

I'm starting to sound like my grandparents, but I am truly amazed at the, well, stupidity of kids today. I hear the word on the street is the latest rages are *pharm* and *rainbow* parties. Have y'all heard of these? Lemme give you the 411 in case you haven't.

Pharm Party - Kids raid their parent's medicine cabinets and take whatever they can find to these parties. All of the pills are combined in one nice big bowl..like a punch bowl..how quaint..and then the partygoers take a handfull and swallow them down! Yep..not knowing what the (@*#* they are taking. Brilliant! What idiots. I mean seriously, what on EARTH possesses them to want to do that?? Whatever happened to just raiding your parent's wine or liquor stash?? Are booze not enough anymore??

Rainbow Party - The female partygoers don (or is it dawn?) various shades of lipstick. They then proceed to go to each guy in the room and, well, put their lipstick on the guy's dipstick. By the end of the night, the guys all have a lovely rainbow of lipstick on their members. Beautiful!!!!!! It is nice to know today's young ladies (cough) have enough pride and self-respect to participate in these events. Makes me proud...not.

What I Hate

You know what I hate? (I'm stealing from Vicki) Late afternoon meetings. Hate them. I come in early so I can leave early and avoid as much traffic as possible. My drive home is an hour without traffic..so...if I leave after 4pm, I'm screwed and devoted to at least 1 1/2 hours in the car...at least. So I get in today and boom..meeting from 3:30 to 5:00. Now..by that time, the old diabetes is taking effect on my body anyway and my attention span is, well, very short. Uh...can I just tell you HOW much I am dreading this??

As they said in the greatest movie ever, Airplane, 'I picked the wrong week to stop drinking'.

Friday Feast #129
Appetizer

What was one of the fashion fads when you were a teenager?

I grew up in the 80s..and I was a preppy bowhead.

Soup

Name one thing you think people assume about you when they first meet you.

I'm uptight.

Salad

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being highest, how hard do you work?

6.5

Main Course

If you were given a free 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl to sell anything you currently own, what would you advertise?

Does diabetes count? No? My Nissan 350z. I love it, but I am getting to where I can't drive a stick shift anymore with my leg pain..so sadly..I need to trade it in. Anyone wanna buy a Z? It is in great condition!

Dessert

Fill in the blank: I love to _stay at home_ when it is _snowing in big D.

Ice and Snow in Dallas

Yep..again..snow...in Dallas. We have had quite a bit of it as of late. Believe me..this isn't a good thing because we Texans can't drive in the stuff! I have to cross over a 2 mile bridge to get to work..I live on a lake. I personally do not want to go sailing in my car nor sinking in my car, therefore I travel slowly and carefully across the bridge. Joe Bob pickup driver, however, finds this annoying. So several times this morning, as I'm grandma driving at about 40mph (speed limit is 50 on the bridge), Joe Bob rides up on my ass, sits there for a while, then decides to pass and haul ass around me. What is up with that?? Why does JB feel the need to speed when there is ice on the road? Is it a stupid thing?
