Antsy. I’ve got a lot of housekeeping to do, I need to plan for my class that starts next week, and I have a dentist’s appointment at 1:30 this afternoon…
7. Describe the last time you were injured.
Um… I can’t really remember. It would probably be when I threw my back out in January.
8. Of all your friends, who would you want to be stuck in a well with?
Mr. Chili. Man’s smart enough to figure us a way out.

Rock concert, without question.

The soft green henley that came with the cute seersucker short pants in a p.j. set.
13. If you could only use one form of transportation, what would it be?
My Golf (though I’m also very fond of my legs - if it came to a choice between my car and my legs, my legs would win every time).
14. Most recent movie you have watched in theater?
We saw Wall-E last night with the girls. Pixar hits another one out of the park.
15. Name an actor/actress/singer you have the hots for.
Will Smith/ Kate Walsh /Sting
16. What’s your favorite kind of cake?
Oh, Lord - you want me to limit it to ONE?! Let’s say the only kind of cake I don’t love is spice cake and leave it at that.
17. What did you have for dinner last night?
A bowl of cereal after the movie.
18. Look to your left, what do you see?
A scanner/printer, an empty glass of Ovaltine, and a stack of books to be put on the shelves in my library. Oh, and two spider plants that are doing exceedingly well under the window; so much so that I’m almost afraid to move them.
19. Do you untie your shoes when you take them off?
Most of my shoes don’t have ties, but I DO untie those that have them.

I can’t really recall. I remember loving books, though, and baby dolls.

Probably, but I don’t care.
23. When was the last time you had gummy worms?
Actually, I made a dirt cake for Punkin’s birthday in June, complete with silk flowers and gummy worms. I had a bite of one and decided they were best left to the children. Blech.
24. What’s your favorite fruit?
Again with the choosing only one?! How about we say that the only fruit I’m not particularly fond of is bananas and leave it at that?
25. Do you have a picture of yourself doing a cartwheel?
No. I have no pictures from my childhood. I can still DO a cartwheel, though, so I COULD have a picture of such a thing if I wanted one.

Nope. I never took a lesson. I was a figure skater in my youth.

I’ve got KT Tunstall’s Drastic Fantastic in the car CD player.

Happy Monday!
Why is Spongebob banned?
I forgot to pick up your tattoos. I will get them next time I go to dance class and mail them to you!
Spongebob, as far as we’ve been able to tell, has NO redeeming qualities. The girls are allowed to watch so little t.v. as it is that we’d like for what they DO watch to be somewhat decent (and yes, I’m a t.v. snob when it comes to my children. I make no apologies for it, either - it’s paying off for us).
Thank you! I’m looking forward to them! When the girls were at the dentist, they were invited to choose prizes from a basket full of plastic bugs, yo-yos, and Chinese finger torture tubes. As they were rooting around in there, I found a bunch of Fourth of July-themed temp tatts that I boosted from the basket so all the kids (and a couple of the adults) can be extra patriotic on Friday. Temp tatts are fun.
It’s inconceivable that you find running boring!! Come run with me Mrs. Chili! Oh, and we would like to see a pic of you doing a cartwheel.
I might have to borrow this from you sometime soon…
Real tattoos are fun, too!
Not to burst your bubble, but there are definitely things out there that consider coral and anemones delicious. I suppose, being sessile, you wouldn’t be chased though…
what i love is that you are every bit as mac addicted as i.
You are a fascinating woman, Mrs. Chili.
A sea creature that nothing else chases or eats? How about a great white shark? A sperm whale? An orca?
What a fun meme, will definitely have to swipe.
I am all about the temp. tatts- it’s something the females in the Casa de T quite like to do together.
Tell me about The Book Thief, please; it’s lying on my side table right now, and I’m hoping to get to it before my summer break ends soon.
Yep, I think we need to see photographic proof that you can indeed perform a cartwheel!
I didn’t ban Sponge Bob, but I did use the parental controls to block all the religious channels.
Great meme Mrs. C.
My favorite redhead: mrschili.
