1. What’s on your computer desk? Good grief, what isn’t on it? 🙂 It’s very cluttered. Papers, bills, post-it notes, CD’s, DVD’s, stacks of papers, cable modem, wireless router, Vonage adapter, and the list goes on and on!

3. What’s on your agenda for the upcoming week? Doctor’s appointment is the biggie this week. I’m dreading it very much.

Found these at The Woman Wonders blog a few days ago. Great questions for a child of the 80’s like myself!!
1. Little House on the Prairie or Facts of Life? I loved Little House, read all the books and watched most of the shows, especially the early and middle years of its run on TV.
2. Kirk Cameron or Ricky Schroeder? I liked Kirk Cameron myself 🙂
3. Bon Jovi or Def Leppard? Oh my, loved them both, but I have to go with Def Lep on this one
4. Leg warmers or vests? I don’t remember either one, but I think I probably wore vests before leg warmers!
5. Debbie Gibson or Tiffany? I didn’t particularly like either one, but if pressed, I’d pick Debbie Gibson
6. The Cosby Show or Family Ties? Loved the Cosby Show! I can remember in college, we had a whole group that got together in our lobby of the girls dorm I was in, and watched it every Thursday night. Same thing with Miami Vice on Fridays (wasn’t it Fridays?). Loved those shows!

8. E. T. or Annie? E. T. all the way. I’ve never seen Annie!

1. When you’re stressed out, what do you do to relieve your stress? Find some quiet peaceful time. Remove myself from whatever or whoever is stressing me out. Take a bath or a nap. Read a book. Veg out in front of the TV. Take a walk. Something!
2. Are you normally a patient person, or is patience NOT one of your virtues? Well, I think I’ve gotten more patient the older I’ve gotten. Patience can be learned, I think.
3. How many times a week do you blog? I try to blog every day, at least a little something. If I start lagging behind, I know me, I’ll drop it eventually, so I try to do a little bit every day.
A different one, from this site:
Can You Hear Me Now?
1. Who is your mobile phone provider, and how many minutes are in your plan? Cingular, 350 minutes, unlimited mobile to mobile though
2. What program do you primarily use for instant messaging? AOL is where most of my friends and family are, except for Tim, who uses Yahoo at work. I love to IM! 🙂
3. Who do you send and receive text messages from most? I don’t text message on my phone.
4. What area code do you live in? 601
5. What year did you first get an e-mail address and do you still use it? Wow, back in the late 80’s on the mainframe where I worked. Personal one, probably early or mid-90’s with Juno, which I kept until about 3 or 4 years ago when we switched to high speed access.
Quitters never win.
1. Name one thing you’ve quit: a job I had grown to dread going to every single solitary day
2. Name something you’ve won: a trip to the Bahamas, a trip to a concert in Dallas, tickets, CD’s, etc. I have always had good luck winning things!
3. Describe a subject in school you do poorly in: Hmmm, well, we all know I was a whiz in school 😈 I never took physics because I didn’t think I’d do well in it at all, so I avoided it like the plague. Mechanical things are Greek to me.
4. Have you ever purposely not done your best? Not that I can remember
5. Do you lead, follow, or get out of the way? A combination of follow or get out of the way
::Daily Dilly Dally::
Onesome: Daily– Hmmm… The tough one first? Sure! What part of your daily routine could you simply not do without? …and just to make it interesting, your morning coffee is a given, so try something else! Let’s see, what I can’t live without doing every day. Checking email. Checking on Hambones.org. Probably some surfing and blog surfing. Oh, and then there’s a shower or bath, gotta have one of those every day, no matter what! 🙂 And probably the most important – seeing Tim and telling him how much I love him every day. 
Twosome: Dilly– Okay, fess up; what’s the latest really good one you’ve pulled? Well, at least something you can share with the gang here. I don’t “pull” anything on anyone. I get stuff “pulled” on me all the time. I live in a plain, silly, naive and clumsy world. Most days, I’m just trying not to cut myself with a knife, stub my toe on the coffee table that hasn’t moved in 8 years, etc. That’s me, first – do no harm. 😀
Threesome: Dally– What is your favorite way to dally away some time instead of working on a project? Do you read, play games, look for lost kittens, study cloud formations? Come on… Let’s see, my list of interests is long and varied. I can while away time on the computer for hours, surfing scrapping, cooking and other sites, not to mention blog surfing. I can read or watch tv till my eyes pop out. I can hang out with Tim and be perfectly content. Or — all of the above!
OOPS – just realized I didn’t do this meme last week. I liked the questions, so I guess I’ll play along. Check these out in the extended section:
This week’s topic: Ten Weird Facts about You
OK, this really required a bit of thought for me… I know I’m quite an oddball, but I was hard pressed to come up with something that was weird to others, despite being normal to me! So, I’m not sure how weird these are, or if they qualify, but oh well – here we go!
1. I hate tomatoes, but will eat tomato products like spaghetti sauce, salsa, tomato soup (pureed) and ketchup.
2. I never sleep on my stomach. I prefer to sleep on my back with my legs not touching. I hike one leg up in triangle form, with my heel touching my knee when at all possible.
Well, I don’t think I’ve done this meme, or any memes, in at least two weeks. I might do a little catch-up this week.
I’ll do today’s Monday Madness meme below, and the one from the week before in the extended section. Check it out and play along if you’d like!
Good Monday morning… This week I thought we’d answer some true or false. Feel free to elaborate on your answers. Thanks for playing.
1. I’m at my best in the early morning. False. I’m NOT a morning person. 👿
2. I start each day with a healthy breakfast. True (or at least I try)
3. I’m always sure to get at least 7 hours of sleep each night. True. I really need 8-9 hours on a regular basis. 😛
4. I enjoy my job. True (best job in the world!)
5. I get along with most everyone. True (or at least, I hope so!!)
6. I’m looking forward to the new season of tv shows this year. TRUE, most definintely TRUE!
7. I make sure I take some time for myself every day. True
Wowzers, I’m late with this one… saw it posted at Dawn’s blog and realized I had never done this one this week. They post a new one on the weekend, on either Saturday or Sunday, so I’m almost too late — but not quite! 🙂

::Drop Gas Prices! Please Read::
Onesome – Drop – Have you ever dropped something that you can’t believe you did? Was it a priceless item or that big secret? Surprisingly enough, not that I can remember. I am a terrible klutz though and I’m always dropping things and stubbing my toe and running into coffee tables that have been in the same spot for 10 years. 🙂 I did knock over a lamp in a store once, but I can’t remember breaking anything at home that was very valuable or momentous.
Twosome – Gas Prices – How much is a gallon of gas going for where you are? The two gas stations I passed today were both 2.49 for the lowest grade.
Threesome – Please Read – What’s that latest item you’re reading? Is it for pleasure or are you required to read it? Funny that I get this question today! I just got back from the library, and am going to make a separate post about the 4 new books I checked out. I have been in quite the reading mood lately, and thoroughly enjoying myself. I have read 23 books this year, and don’t plan to stop any time soon. I only read for pleasure, but what a pleasure it is 😀
