Things you never knew about me

And ways to keep my sanity while stuffing envelopes....

~What is in the back of your car?
In the trunk... lots of stuff. It's temporary storage during this extended-yet-temporary living situation. In the backseat:
- A winshield sun screen-turned-protective seat cover (bags of cans for causes sometimes leak)
- sunscreen that needs to go back in the beach bag i keep in the trunk (i always care a swimsuit, towels, boogie boards, and other necessities. Some call it preparedness, others, wishful thinking)
- Sophia's boots that she left there and i keep forgetting to give back to her
- trash bag to try to keep some sort of neatness
- binder from sign language class

~Name one person that made you smile today?
the new hires, though the smiling was obligatory polite welcoming. Oh, and the tech guys produced genuine smiles by replacing my surge protector and therefore eliminating the loud, high-pitched squeal

~What were you doing at 8 am this morning?
thanking God that somehow, miraculously, i was already getting close to work

~What were you doing 45 minutes ago?
folding and stuffing billing invoices

~What is your favorite candy bar?
candy bars and filled with poisonous fat and calories... hehehe

~What is the last thing you said aloud?
"Good afternoon, how can I help you?"

~What is the best ice cream flavor?
something chocolate. i've been craving moose tracks. and mint chocolate chip. But i don't discriminate. i heart ice cream (even though it, too, contains poisonous fat and calories... frozen yogurt anyone? Pinkberry?)

~What was the last thing you had to drink?
water! :)

~What are you wearing right now?
green layered top that i dont think fits right, black skirt that does, pantyhose, work shoes.... but later- yoga pants and tshirt for tennis time!!

leftover chicken kabobs and sweet potato fries! :)

~The last sporting event you watched?
There was a little league game next to the tennis courts on Tuesday.... and on Sunday, there was a Laker game on at the icky Mexican restaurant

~What is your favorite flavor of popcorn?
The healthy pop stuff with just a touch of butter

~Ever go camping?
In the summer of 2002, i lived at camp for the summer. I loved it. I miss it. I am DYING to go camping in the mountains here....

~Do you take vitamins daily?
Yup! A multivitamin and a green tea supplement. But i think the green tea one just makes me hungrier, so when it runs out i'm going to stop taking it.

~Do you go to church every Sunday?
Mostly. And 99% of Wednesday's, too.

~Do you have a tan?
hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahha!!!!

Pizza has a very slight edge over Chinese. Ooh, but i haven't had Thai food in awhile....

I don't drink soda.

~What are you doing tomorrow?
Work. Maybe tennis. Probably writing. Prep for kids church. House stuff. Driving. Sleeping. Dropping the ball on something.

~Look to your left, what do you see?
Production request for a spot i'm writing, stopwatch, organized folders with various work info, little bottle of reed fragrance diffusers, The Office magnetic poetry and "I Heart Jim" dry erase

~What's the rush?
so much life, so little time

~Do you have a dog?
No ... but i fell in love with a dog who's missing a front leg through an organization called The Brittany Foundation. One day, when i am a writer working from my house on the beach, I'll have a dog. :)

~Any plans today?
Saving the world.

uncertainty, petty drama

"Tearing Us Apart", Plain White T's, played in my head... i think i'm going to turn on music now

~Do you have a maid service clean your house?
hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

~Favorite pair of shoes you wear all the time?
Favorite favorite? Being barefoot. Flip flops a close second. I wear work shoes more often, though.

~Do you eat healthy?
I try to. But inevitably my sweet tooth gets the best of me. I'm working on that. By the way, it's "do you eat healthily" i think? Any word on this? I know that healthy should be in the form of an adverb....

~Do you like cats?
Love them. Even viscious diva Jolie.

~Have you ever been to Six Flags?
Ohio, Kentucky, and California..... i miss Cedar Point.
