Appetizer – What is the worst movie you’ve ever seen?
Good grief, more than I wish. The first one that comes to mind is “Any Given Sunday”. Tim tried to watch “Kill Bill” but didn’t make it through the first 30 minutes, thank goodness. I think that would have topped the list if he had made it through.
Soup – Name something that reminds you of your childhood. Certain tv shows, songs, foods. I remember wanting Presh to make me chicken and rice. I remember making pizzas with Gail and Suzanne on the weekends. I remember Daddy making pancakes on that old Presto griddle.
Salad – If you had to live in a large city, which one would you want it to be? Well, I’ve never lived anywhere but Jackson and New Orleans. I could probably live in New Orleans now with Tim, or maybe Atlanta or Dallas. Probably in the South, I don’t know if I could hack the winters in a northern or Rocky climate.
Main Course – What’s a “big word” you like to use to impress people?Hmm, I can’t think of any at the moment, but I’m sure there’s a few! 😀
Dessert – Describe your hairstyle. Boring. Brown, bangs, slightly above shoulder length. It has a mind of its own and refuses to do what I want. It looks different every day!
Well, I’m still not feeling very good today. I think it’s a massive sinus thing evolving inside my head. I am having a lot of trouble sleeping, and my throat and head hurt all the time, 24 hours a day. No matter if I take Tylenol or anything else. Argh. I guess it’s the weather – I often get this sinus gunk when the weather shifts in the fall and spring. Today is supposed to be 80 degrees and pretty. Tomorrow it is supposed to storm – I hope it doesn’t ruin Easter.
Not going to do much blogging today… I might do one or two memes later. I saw a couple of good ones this morning.
Have a wonderful Good Friday, anyone out there, and a Happy Easter. 😀
1) On a scale of 1 to 10 how superstitious are you? (10 being very superstitious)
I’m probably about a 5 or maybe a 6. I don’t know why. I did a term paper once on superstitions and learned a ton about them, and I’ve always been wary of them. I think part of that comes from growing up, hearing about the ONE time my dad had a wreck, and that was because that black cat crossed his path!
2) Do you read your horoscope? How often? Nope, I don’t read my horoscope
2) What is one superstition you heed? Well, I heed a lot of them. I don’t like black cats crossing my path and have even, on a few occasions, been known to turn around and go another way. Not all the time, mind you, but a few times. I don’t walk under ladders if I can help it. I do NOT break glass or mirrors if I can help it. Of course, all of those have a practical side too, so maybe that’s it! 🙂 Oh, and I don’t open an umbrella indoors, hardly ever, and I am a bit superstitious about Friday the 13’ths too. Gee, maybe I rate more than a 5 or 6 on a scale from 1-10. 😀
4) What is one of the most silly superstitions you’ve ever heard? Hmm, well my head is hurting and I can’t think of one. Maybe I will think of one later and come back and add it here.
Well, I don’t have anything interesting to blog about (and you know what that means, a meme is probably forthcoming! 🙂 ). I had a ton to blog about yesterday, perhaps I should have stretched it out a bit, and not written about all of it last night! Yesterday was a busy day, and either I wore myself out, or else I’m coming down with something. Or maybe both. I don’t feel very well today. Not at all.
I, however, have no right to gripe. Tim was up till about 3:30 last night, working on their code implementation. He said that there were a few problems and that’s why he was so late. Said they were all fixed, and they had touched every line of code they have, and he seemed to be really pleased about it.
OK, time for one meme, then I’m outta here. It is a pretty day, today, downright spring-like. 🙂
Eeks – gas is up to 2.09 a gallon everywhere here. I was all over the place today shopping – on Lakeland Drive, on Hwy 51, on County Line, it was 2.09 at almost every place. My car still has about a half a tank, but Tim’s gas guzzling 4 wheel drive pickup needs gas.
What are you paying for gas where you live? Answer in a comment! 🙂
Wow, it’s almost 10 PM and this is the first time I have had a chance all day to sit down and check my email and try to blog. Well, other than the few minutes this morning, when I did the trivia on Hambones. I wanted to get yesterday’s answers posted and new questions up before I left.
I was gone almost all day today, and am fairly worn out. It was a good day though!
The Highlights – went shopping with Gail most of the day. I had a blast! It’s so nice to go shopping with someone else sometime (no offense Tim, I know how much you hate to go clothes shopping with me, which is why I try not to drag you much 🙂 ) It helps me to have other people see the clothes I try on, and say “that looks good on you, or that doesn’t look good, or that doesn’t look like it fits, or whatever”. I’m so indecisive and every little bit helps, plus it’s just more fun to go shopping with someone else! 😀 We went to Linens-N-Things, Target, Steinmart, Kohls, 2 shoe stores, Marshall’s, TJ Maxx and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Whew! We also stopped in at McAlisters for lunch (had a turkey melt and fruit, it was de-licious!) I got clothes at Steinmart (2 shirts and some cute pink and green flip flops), then I hit the mother lode at Kohl’s. They were having a one day sale, plus I had my handy-dandy gift card that came in the mail to use. So I bought a bunch of shirts there. Who’s counting, but I think it was 6! 😀 I got more stuff for our bathroom at Marshalls and BB&B (a different kind of roman shade, new towels, and some wicker stuff).
Well, obviously cold turkey won’t work for me. I had such a vicious headache by the time that Tim got home that he could barely tolerate me. 😛 Surprise, surprise! Giving up caffeine cold turkey and going back to just drinking water is not going to work for me. Tim almost begged me to drink tea with dinner, so I did. Man, it was good! I didn’t have much, but it helped my headache a little. It’s not gone, but it’s better.
Off to watch all of my shows 🙂
ARGH – I have a terrible headache. I even went and changed my mood on the sidebar to the fashionably correct word of “headachy”. 👿
I know exactly what it is. I am trying, once again, to cut back on caffeine. No coffee, no tea, no sodas. I can’t even make it a day. It’s pathetic. I have the worst headache and all I want to do is go drink some coke or tea. Or maybe chop my head off.
Well, I can’t deny it. I’m ready for tonight’s tv lineup already. We had ’24’ last night, which was good, but I was missing out on American Idol. I guess I got used to it being on twice a week!
Tonight is a killer night for us, TV viewing wise. We have a total of 4 shows that we watch and tape. I am going to go check and see if any of them are reruns (NCIS or House, I know Idol and Race are new). I prefer to watch the live ones like Idol and Race and tape the others to watch later tonight or later on in the week. Tim has to work again tonight.
I was blog-surfing earlier and ran across a reference to the fact that Lost has been showing re-runs. I blogged about this very thing Here . Now, if what I read is true, we do NOT have to wait till the middle of April for a new episode. No sir. Next week is supposed to be a new one. Yee-hawww! It’s the Locke-centric one called “Deux Ex Machina” which means “God in the Machine”. We are supposed to learn how Locke was originally paralyzed. The site that I am getting this info from TV Tome also talks about a special in late April, and the fact that JJ Abrams says the show could last six years!

What Color Is…
1. Your Kitchen?: yellow with burgundy accents
2. Bathroom?: khaki
3. Bedroom?: neutral
4. Living Room?: neutral
5. Kid’s Room?: don’t have one
From This site:
Are you more likely to…
1. Give advice or take advice? take advice
2. Interrupt a conversation or have your conversation interrupted? Interrupt – it’s one of my worst habits (of which there are many!)
3. Get lost while driving or find your way without a problem? Usually find my way, I’m usually prepared, have written directions or a map. I’m the epitomy of a boy scout – always be prepared!
4. Be a trendsetter or be a follower? A follower. Always.
5. Look at a situation as “half empty” or “half full”? Sigh. Another one of these – I wish I weren’t, but I’m a half-empty kind of gal
I finished this book by James Patterson tonight. “Suzanne’s Diary for Nicholas”. It took me less than 24 hours to read, and that’s with only reading in the evenings. A very quick read. Either Amanda’s comments in the Reviews section of Hambones or else my finely tuned sense of intuition tipped me off to the ending very early on. I knew what was going to happen and expected it. It wasn’t the least bit sad to me, I didn’t shed a tear. It was a good story though, and I am now happy to say that I have read a total of 8 books since late January. I believe that might be a new record for me! Tim has read three, which is good for him, too.
I will return this book and “The Guardian” to the library later this week. I have the next Stephanie Plum book on hold at the library. I’m on number three now, “Three to Get Deadly”. It’s due in on 3/23, so hopefully they will call from the library this week. I will have to try to find something else to read too, either book #4 in the Stephanie Plum series, or maybe another one. I do still have several more Grishams here to read, so I may switch back to him. I dunno, will have to see what I can find. 🙂
Well, I just realized that today was the first day of Spring (yes, I realized this after reading other blogs where people smarter than me had already realized that and pointed it out for people such as myself!) Not that it was an overly spring-like day here today, but I’m sure there will be many more to come. After all, we have about 8 or 9 months of warm to really hot temperatures around here! Anyway, it was grey and cloudy and a bit warm, but I don’t think the sun poppped out much today. My yard certainly doesn’t look spring-like. It looks like a mud pit with a few weeds growing in it! 😮
So, in honor of the first day of spring, here’s a little meme question of the day:
Ah, spring. Name three things that signify spring for you.
Let’s see… warmer days, daffodils and tulips, the trees budding out.
What about you? 🙂
Well, I posted this on Saturday that we hung the new Levolor rattan roman shade/blind in our bathroom. I really like the look of it. I love roman shades and this is the first one I have found to fit these tiny windows in this house. There is, however, a major problem with this blind that I don’t think I can live with day in and day out. It doesn’t have a liner and it’s sorta see-through. In the daytime, you can see out pretty well. We discovered Saturday night that, at night, if you are out back, and someone is in the bathroom with the light on, then you can see right in. Tim said he could tell what I had on, or NOT on. Argh. This is our bathroom after all, where from time to time, I’m either (gasp) partially or totally not dressed or else doing something that I might not want anyone outside to witness.
So… I’m going to have to go shopping again and find another blind. Either one with a lining or else some kind of window treatment. Tim wants to just put a curtain over the blind. Which would normally work for most windows, but this one is right beside the shower, and Tim tends to spray water when he’s in the shower and it would get wet. And, these windows are so narrow (23″) and I have always had a terrible time trying to find a premade window treatment for a window that size. I am hoping that I can find a blind like this, but lined. Wouldn’t that be easy – but you know what, I bet you anything I won’t be able to find it! 🙂
