Stolen from The Gal who stole it from Kwiz:

1. What is the color of your toothbrush? I think it’s pink and white. I need a new one. I especially love electric toothbrushes but I’m a spaz with a water pik. Water everywhere except the one place it’s supposed to be.

2. Name one person who made you smile today Duty – I was home sick in bed all day and he brought up some meatloaf and mashed potatoes for dinner.

3. What were you doing at 8 am this morning? Deciding to call in sick to work – I slept the whole day, just about.

4. What were you doing 45 minutes ago? Listening to Randi Rhodes podcast and playing a dumbass game on Facebook

5. What is your favorite candy bar? I loves me some Snickers. MMMM.

6. Have you ever been to a strip club? Oh my, yes I have. Back in my early 20’s, I often went to strip clubs with my friends. My favorite dancer was a mocha colored guy nicknamed “Good & Plenty Denny” and he was my favorite mostly because he danced to Prince songs.

7. What is the last thing you said aloud? I chatted with Miss LucieCat about how she was feeling.

8. What is your favorite ice cream? Jamocha almond fudge

9. What was the last thing you had to drink? coffee, of course

10. Do you like your wallet? That’s an odd question but yes, I like it. It’s small, really only holds debit/credit cards and a couple little things tucked inside. I always know where to find it.

11. What was the last thing you ate? Chilled grapes (I wish it were jamocha ice cream, though!)

12. Have you bought any new clothing items this week? Not this week, no. I’m trying to stay on a budget of sorts plus I’m feeling like a heifer and refuse to subject myself to a dressing room mirror.

13. The last sporting event you watched? Caps/Flyers hockey game

14. What is your favorite flavor of popcorn? buttery and salty (Kwiz’s answer and I concur!)

15. Who is the last person you sent a text message to? I don’t text much but yesterday I had fun IMing with one of my most favorite people.

16. Ever go camping? Girl scout camp and latrines that were merely holes in the ground put me off camping forever

17. Do you take vitamins daily? No, but I take a buttload of supplements and my naturopath said I didn’t need a multi-vitamin with what I’m taking.

18. Do you go to church every Sunday? I don’t consider organized religion part of my path so no, I don’t attend any church. (Re-reading that, I thought it sounded really pretentious. I don’t mean it to sound that way. I’m just not a fan of religion in a box, you know?)

19. Do you have a tan? Nah, but my feet get it from when I run around outside in my strappy sketchers. It’s a lovely look, I assure you.

20. Do you prefer Chinese food over pizza? Nope – pizza will always win that. Now, ask me to decide between pizza and pad thai and watch me go into hyper-dither mode.

21. Do you drink your soda with a straw? Not usually. But I do love those bendy straws so if I had one of those, I might.

22. What did your last text message say? In IM, I told them to watch out that their dangly bits don’t hang out when they go to the gym. (I’m a fascinating conversationalist, am I not?)

23. What are you doing tomorrow? Returning to work

24. Favorite color? look around this here blog and I think you’ll be able to tell that pretty easily. (psst: blue)

25. Look to your left; what do you see? Max de dogg laying on the floor

26. What color is your watch? Kwiz said: invisible colored and it made me laugh. I thought mine was the only invisible colored watch out there!

27. What do you think of when you hear “Australia”? Russell Crowe so I think about something else

28. Would you strip for money? Well, I’d have to say that the money would be ME paying someone to watch because that’s just not very attractive.

29.Do you go in a fast food place or just hit the drive thru? Mostly drive through because I don’t like all the noise and confusion inside fast food places.

30. What is your favorite number? Like Kwiz, I said 3. I had to laugh when it turned out to be my life path number as well. But I wasn’t surprised.

31. Who’s the last person you talked to on the phone? Duty to apprise him of my staying home

32. Any plans today? My plan today was to sleep a lot and I’m happy to say I feel accomplished (and rested).

33. In how many states have you lived? 2 – MD and VA – I really don’t get around much.

34. Biggest annoyance right now? I’m really warm so could be running a fever.

35. Last song listened to? “Make Me” by MWK

36. Can you say the alphabet backwards? Actually, I can. On the nights when I had insomnia, I used to practice it. I bet I could say it backwards even if I were inebriated. I shall test that theory next time I imbibe.

37. Do you have a maid service clean your house? If I do, that person is doing a shitty job and will need to be replaced.

38. Favorite pair of shoes you wear all the time? my sneakers although I would catch hell from Stacey and Clinton for that.

39. Are you jealous of anyone? I am envious (rather than jealous) of those who do not have weight problems. I can only imagine a day spent not worrying about what I eat. Well, I have those days but they are not without consequences.

40. Is anyone jealous of you? I doubt it but it’s possible. I have a nice life with unlimited time to myself, no kids to worry about or send through college and do pretty much what I want. There are probably some who would trade with me in a heartbeat.

41. Do you love anyone? Yes, many people in many kinds of ways. I will say that I will never, ever love anyone as fully and without condition as I did Lauren. And I am thankful every day to have experienced that kind of love in my life.

42. Do any of your friends have children? Yep, several do and are kind enough to share them with me when I need a baby-holding fix.

43. What do you usually do during the day? Pretend that I care about stuff in the financial services field.

44. Do you hate anyone that you know right now? There are many I dislike (looking at you Rush, Hannity, et al) but I don’t hate them. It takes a lot of energy to do that and I’d rather put that energy toward something nicer.

45. Do you use the word ‘hello’ daily? Yep, although I say “Chello” instead because it sounds british and I like that.

46. What color is your car? The liberal’s handbook dictated that I get a Prius but I got to choose the color. Surprise! Blue.

47. What size wedding ring do you wear? I dunno. It was a while ago.

48. Are you thinking about someone right now? Wondering whether SophiaCat is up or downstairs. Does that count?

49. Have you ever been to Six Flags? No, but I have been to Hershey Park and Busch Gardens.

50. How did you get your worst scar? Surgery in 1997. But the one I got all on my own was when I fell off my bike. I was about 8 and had just sort of learned how to ride a bike but that didn’t keep me from imitating my friend who could ride it without holding onto the bars. Yeah. Kids, don’t do that. I bonked right into a curb while trying to round a corner and mashed my whole mouthful of teeth. I remember standing up, seeing blood, thinking to myself (and yes, this was exactly my train of thought): “Someone here is bleeding. YOU are the only one here. It must be YOU!” aaaah! Then I ran screaming and crying to my Grandmother’s house around the corner. Many stitches and messed up teeth followed. Fun! The scar on my lip is invisible but the teeth never recovered. I should have gotten those damn braces.

Wednesday Potpourri

September 29, 2009 Written by Lisa

Random thoughts as they bop into my head:

1. How cute is my baby?? The twins are just nine months old and of course, Sophie is the bigger (and goofier) of the two. I actually had to share her (HORRORS!) with her grandmother. I did sort of abscond with her into another room to play and take pics for well over an hour so I suppose I had to give her back at some point.

Baby Sophie 9 months old

2. I’m bored with sekrit boyfriend. I need to spend more time in Cooklandia and less time in Twilight-ville. (Probably should leave both lands and come back to reality, huh?) Anyway, he’s in Canada now – wonder if he’s wearing that fucking hat again. It *IS* cold there so maybe it’s warranted *this time*. Charlottesville show is a week and a half away. Remember all the angst I had over what to wear to the show back in April? I’m over that. Jeans and a shirt and comfy shoes are it for me.

3. Currently listening to a tele-seminar called “Action Without Struggle”. I’m really good at “Inaction without Struggle” so this might be something sort of new. We’ll see.

4. I think I will bypass the closet and go straight to coma now. Being in the closet is much too transient and a coma will put you out for a good long time. Plus, drugs. Which I’ve never done. (Well, the fun illegal kind.) Should I put that on my To-Do list? I think I’m allergic to morphine or codeine or one of those things. My mom had something along those lines several many years ago and I took one pill just to see what would happen. It was not fun. It was hellish, actually. I won’t be doing that again. I’m a quick study.

5. Yearly Woo-Woo fest is coming up on Sunday and I am working at my friend Rose Rosetree’s booth for a bit. It’s usually really, really crowded there – both in terms of offerings by individual practitioners and people milling about buying and looking and whatnot. She asked me to fill in for her three years ago when she was out of the country and I did intuitive readings for people (for money, even!). It was one of the most awesome experiences of my life. I had several people come back and tell me that my reading was the best they had gotten that day. (There are millions of different card readers, intuitives, etc. there.) I was on cloud nine. This time I won’t be doing readings (Rose will) but assisting her with book selling and just chatting with nice people. It’s the only time and place you will ever, ever see me as an extrovert but that’s because I am in my element.

Show and Tell

September 16, 2009 Written by Lisa

Everyone loves pictures so here are some of mine you might not have seen:

Photobucket

This is my desk at work decorated with pretty flowers one of the brokers gave me. And yes, that IS a David Cook picture under the clear matting there. How funny you should notice.

Photobucket

This is my drive over the bridge into work one day last week. Yes I know I should be driving rather than photographing the clouds but don’t they look cool?

Photobucket

Don’t ask why because I don’t even know but this figurine makes me happy. I remember sending a picture of it to Lauren saying how much I loved it and wouldn’t you know? She got it for me for my birthday that year. Do you think it was foreshadowing my love for all things COOKie?

Photobucket

This picture sums up my dog’s personality entirely. What a doofus. I love him but he is a goofball beyond measure. Max de dogg, he is.

Andi & Sophia

And finally, the goddaughter of Love & Pudge, (on the right) pictured here with her twin sister, Andi. They don’t normally go out dressed that way but what fun is it having girls if you can’t dress them up like dolls?? (Admit it, she’s a cutie even with the resemblance to you-know-who.)

Happy Stuff

Awake at 5am?

September 10, 2009 Written by Lisa

(picture from here)

Whyever for, you ask? I couldn’t tell you but here I am. Actually, I have been awake since about 3:30 or 4 but Sophia was demanding her early morning lovies and I couldn’t refuse her. This entails her laying horizontally across my throat, purring like there’s no tomorrow. It’s actually pretty comforting to me, too. (It makes for boring blog posting though, doesn’t it?)

Monday and Tuesday I rode my little bicycle 3 miles down the trail here and loved it. Totally feels like fun and not exercise. I will ride again tonight (that sounds so serious, doesn’t it? AND I SHALL RIDE AGAIN TONIGHT, she said! hehe) weather permitting. Since it’s getting cooler, I am planning on making this an everyday thing. Try not to faint if I do it or laugh at me if I don’t, k?

As you can see, I am so not witty at 5:54am. Off to find more coffee. Oh, btw, one of my friends (who shall remain nameless to protect his grievous faux pas) told me that I should “forget Cookie” in favor of Josh Groban. First, if you think I can ditch my Cookie love that fast, you don’t know me well. And second, JOSH GROBAN? I’ll give you he’s a trained vocalist and some of his stuff is quite lovely but … just … no. I don’t even know if he has arm porn. Nice try, though.

Cow Tales

August 25, 2009 Written by Lisa

cow tales

Don’t ask what cow tales are.   Just know that a.) I love them and b.) I shouldn’t. In fact, everything that is in them would also be found on a “Oh for the love of God don’t eat this” list.

To wit: wheat flour, corn syrup, dextrose, sugar, partially hydrogenated   soybean oil, high fructose corn syrup, modified whey, skim milk, cream, mono and diglycerides, salt, lecithin, corn starch, and artificial flavors.

And I should never, ever have bought them to keep in the cookie jar. Because I have them in the evening with coffee and they are so good that you know it’s a sin to be eating them.

(REMINDER TO SELF: don’t buy these any more)

So, yeah.  Fun ride home over that damn bridge today. Seriously, people. Can you please have your disabled car issues and fires and whatnot AFTER rush hour? It took me an hour and a half to get home tonight and this is getting old.  I love where I live but the getting here over that bridge day in and day out sucks.  There’s always something going on which makes getting over it a pain in the ass.  GRR!

What else can I whine about? Oh yeah – found out another COOKie show in the area (Richmond) but it’s on a weekday in October and no way can I either take a day or two off work and/or drive to Richmond and back in one evening.  The chicks are all going and I really do want to but … think I must be an adult.  /sigh/

Sophia

How cute is my baby? Will she hate me if I call her the Goddaughter of Pudge and Love? Sophia is just too funny.  Even though she was the one full of attitude early on (she would start snorting when she was pissed), now she’s all love and placidness while her sister Andi takes over as Drama Mama.  I don’t know how Kim manages all of it – the babies, a full time job (she takes them with her) and everything else she does. I have always been in awe of her abilities to do 100 things at a time (like build huge bookcases or paint the entire house, etc) but she totally rocks.
More tomorrow … and my response to the Queen’s Meme.
