I had to bow out of being a bridesmaid recently because the required dress didn't fit me (form-fitting tight red, long dress!). I was quickly replaced by someone with the perfect body for it, and it kinda hurt.

Me too! I'll sit with a stack of mags next to me as Ebon and I watch movies or TV and just cut stuff out. The repetition of it is soothing.

As for the last one, that kind of sucks. I'm sorry that you were hurt and that there wasn't consideration for all body types involved in the wedding party.

*I completely snorted and giggled when I read about farts in a windowless office being devastating

*I sometimes fart with the beat of the radio as I'm driving

* I sometimes have to cover my mouth to keep from busting out laughing in meetings at work when I imagine scenarios of me jumping up on the conference table and mooning the entire group.

* I LOVE me some Louisiana hot sauce!

* when sleeping, a ceiling fan is a MUST!

~I sleep a lot to get away.
~I killed a tarantula by rocking over it with my daughter's rocking horse.
~I always talk about going to Belize, but I've never ever been there to know if it's wonderful or not.
~Sometimes, I can smell the clean smell of my Mom's skin....Ivory soap.
~My back yard is heinous.

OK 5 things no one would know about me..

I love spooky movies the cheeser the better.
I am ambedexrtious.
I am hard of hearing but ppl should be very carful in whats said,cause I read lips pretty good.
I love the out doors.hopefuly one day one of these lotto tickets I buy will hit the jack pot (even a small one will do) so I can buy some land then build a bigo log cabin.
I speed read,I read Gone with the wind in 12 hours,even with breaks.

1) I did not go to my college graduation because my parents didn't want to go and sit out in the middle of a field under the hot, summer sun. They said nobody really remembers their college graduation and it's all just pomp and circumstance (sp?) anyway. I regret that I let their underwhelming behavior towards what I feel is a very big accomplishment influence my decision to skip out on what should've been a happy, proud, and memorable day/moment for me.

2) I am scent sensitive and if I ever buy fashion magazines, the first thing I do is rip the perfume samples out and get rid of them as fast as possible. I do this at the doctor's office, too. I resist the temptation at friend's homes.

3) I can't think of 5 things.

[Rook]

-♦- I'm researching domesticated Skunks thoroughly, just in case I decide to adopt one...-grins-

-♦- I'm not much of a morning person, however, a cuppa café con leche with pan soba'o con mantequilla, and I'm content...add a small slice of queso de papa or ham....maybe both, at sunrise? My day will be made.

-♦- I'm not scared of bee's...or hornets..or wasps...or blackjacks, yellow jackets, etc etc. I'm petrified of their Venom, not because I'm some "pussy", I'm just not fond of anaphylactic shock, y'know? And I don't have an epi pen, so there's that...

-♦- I love motorcycles, but, I also like being comfortable, and I can't see myself being comfortable on a chopper, cruisin' around at 55 mph, in the dead of December...or January [in the continental U.S.], so, I wouldn't mind a good Jeep or VW of my choice...seriously.

-♦- When everyone's asleep..And I can't, rather than log on, or watch t.v., I'll sit by the Ferrets penthouse, and pat my side, have the Husky grudgingly trot over, and lay by my side, while I talk to them, the husky will rest his head on my lap and the ferrets will grant me a seriously bored glance from their hammock with a tired yawn....until I flash a treat{spoiled, i tell ya}, it's 10 x better than a Shrink, though.

I like to stand on people's laps.

I would love to see my abs but I don’t think that’s ever going to happen.

I was mugged once at knifepoint by a drug-crazed dude in my car and gladly gave him my wallet. When people asked why I didn’t fight him off, I explained that it wasn’t worth $4 to get my throat slashed.

I love Chobani yogurt.

One of my life goals is to sit down with the ladies of The View.

Currently, I am eating what I call a Hulk muffin. It's huge, of course, dusted with big crystals of sugar and green. Pistachio muffins. HEB. Heavenly, I promise (unless you're allergic to pistachios and then it wouldn't be so....well, yeah, I guess you could say it would be Heavenly...if you've been good).

I tried the new Reese's minis that come in a little zip bag and are unwrapped. They are good but the bag is too small. It needs to be 4 times bigger, because...c'mon...if I want it so bad that I'm choosing the minis cuz I wouldn't have to waste time or chocolate on the wrappers, I want more than 8 ounces worth. Just sayin'.

Ebon loves me (and his life) very much. He didn't bat an eye as I filled a quarter of our grocery cart with junk last night. The remaining three quarters had all organic and/or generally healthy stuff in it. The cashier looked at me funny.

We met someone this weekend that knew quite a bit about American versus everyone else's way of producing milk and dairy products. We learned that our milk and cheeses in the US contain small amounts of puss in them. We are going to purchase organic milk and European cheeses from now on.

We learned about the cheese/milk fiasco while we were eating sushi. I don't have a weak stomach, but it did give me about a 10 second pause before I could finish my crunchy roll.

Bonus: I bought 2 packages of Mother's Macaroon cookies last night. They were on sale and I had a store coupon and so, I got them for more than half off! Happy cheap shopper dance!

My ex husband's wife and i are very close. She sat beside me at my brother's funeral, we got a lot of stares. She is somewhat butch, to me, in appearance and in actions, poor guy i hope this one isn't gay too. Bless his heart.

I have a "thing" for straight lines and i don't like circles. My dishes are square and i try and buy square or rectangle tables ect...

My two favorite shows are "House" and "TAPS" and i tape them all the time and watch them over and over and over. Recently i've added "Sister Wives" to my most fav list and love that show too.

I hate to sleep. Always been that way. I feel like i'll miss out on something and to this day i usually have to be made to go to bed or i finally just fall over from being dead tired.

I've never climbed a tree. But, it's on my bucket list as well as touching a goat and a chicken both of which i'm petrified of.

I love circled plates and think that the square ones are harder to clean, but not as hard as the octagonal ones.

I, too, feel like I'm missing something or at least the opportunity to be doing something. However, I enjoy sleep far too much now. I think it's because I slept so little as a kid (mostly because of the whole abusive household and having to keep the nasties out of my bed thing versus the didn't want to miss anything thing though).

I've climbed a tree and I've touched chickens and goats. I like goats. Their pupils are sideways and that's kinda cool. You come here. I'll take you to the small rescue zoo. They have chickens and goats and even peacocks and a random orange cat that patrols the property.

House is awesome. I missed the season finale last night though. Ebon and I were watching what amounted to the worst movie we've ever seen. Well, technically it ties with Punch Drunk Love for the worst movie ever. It's called Backwash.

No fifth since I did a bonus last time.

(((((((Gemme))))))))) regarding your childhood.

If i ever meet a goat i'll try and keep my eyes open instead of closed with fear so i can see their pupils. Didn't know that. You know....goats scratch on my door at night when i'm trying to sleep? That's what wakes me up at night. They wear kettles on their heads and have acorns for teeth. This, yes, was a dream i had, but i've never gotten over it...apparently.

I'm impressed that you climbed a tree and i will be sure NOT to watch Backwash..ty for the tip

[Sparkle]

*the left hand pocket of every one of my coats & jackets are filled with dog treats.

*i have (very) crooked pinky fingers.

*sometimes when i eat something with a lot of melted cheese on it, my eyes go all wonky (in & out of focus) and i feel like i am temporarily blind.

*i have "small world" experiences quite often, and i love them, they make me feel connected to something "bigger" and intangible.

*i read every jackie collins, danielle steel and sidney sheldon book published (pre-1986) before i was twelve. the jackie collins books i had to stealthily remove from my grandmother's bedroom bookshelf because they were considered "too risque" for a child. (& they were) i had *quite* the vocabulary in grade school.

Maybe you should start with these. It's hard to be scared of something that falls down a lot.





These guys are pretty immature, but it does show the sideways pupil of the goat.

[LipstickLola]

*I hate socks, even in winter, but I wear them grudgingly
*I love peanut butter and pickle sandwhiches
*I despise being lied to, just slap me! would ya??
*I rip the inserts outta magazines before I read them
*I sing in the car, out loud, lots LOL

2. I had a huge crush on Valerie Bertinelli growing up;

3. My sister's home building company filed for bankruptcy a while back - something that I never thought I would ever see;

4. I cannot believe that Oprah is almost over...1 more show left. It is all about love;

5. Beachwear season is here on the East Coast. WooHoo!

[hpychick]

[always2late]

3. I am totally in love with my Sphynx cat

4. I am addicted to the tv show "Chopped"

5. I think that throughout my life, one of my main problems has been that I stand in my own way.

[Elijah]

I am selectively Monk-like and am obsessed with symmetry.

When I was a child, I used to think if you took the "sleep" out of your eyes, you had to get up, because you couldn't fall back to sleep.

I have never seen The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

My first concert was Tom Jones (I wish I were kidding).

I have to sleep with a fan on...no matter what season.

You forgot to say that you can count to five in Spanish.



Our a/c froze over today and it took us a few hours to notice as we silently bitched to ourselves that it was hot in here but not to one another and neither of us checked more than the thermostat for an issue. We're not smart today.

I hate my plumbing today. I wish I could rip it out and give it to someone who needs functioning plumbing.

Our fire extinguisher was recharged today.

I feel very 'off' today.

I'm also been very lackadasical today.

~I hate wearing shoes.
~I love flip flops. They're as close to not wearing shoes as possible.
~I may have a bone spur (or a hairline fracture) on my heel because of the above.
~I hate the word "hate".
~Lonely and alone are two different things. I hate one, but not the other.
