My First Meme, Because I'm Too Tired for Original Content Tonight

1. If you could build a second house anywhere, where would it be?
Maui. Although the weekend commute might be a little taxing.

2. What are your favorite articles of clothing?
My new jeans; it's only taken a few years, but I've finally gotten a pair of low-rise, boot-cut jeans. I also like to pull on my comfy sweatpants after I've spent a long day at work wearing pantyhose. But, oddly enough, wearing sweatpants all day long makes me feel schlubby.

3. The last CD I bought?
I have no idea. It's been years since I purchased a CD for myself. Last one I received as a gift was REM's Around the Sun.

4. What time do you wake up in the morning?
6:30 a.m. If the kids are feeling lazy, 7:00 a.m.

It hasn't been invented yet -- you know, the one that makes all the food and cleans up the mess afterward.

6. If you could play an instrument, what would it be?
Piano.

7. What's your favorite color?
Purple, and green.

Plain old sedan for me.

Yes. Opiate or not, it's a belief I cling to, especially during tough times.

10. Favorite children's book?
Wait, didn't we just cover this?

Spring. But the end, not the beginning, because that's really just winter being sneaky.

I'm sure that this comes as no surprise, but I don't have a tattoo.

13. If you could have one superpower, what would it be?
The ability to teletransport, a la Bewitched.

No. That requires physical coordination, and I was out that day.

My father.

16. What is under your bed?
Dust, dust, and, wait a minute, let me check -- right, more dust.

17. What is your favorite day?
Saturday. It's really the only true weekend day -- Friday evening is spent recuperating from the week, and Sunday is spent in denial that the weekend is over and the work week is about to begin again and can someone please explain to me how that happened?

18. Sushi or hamburger?
Hamburger. But only with much guilt.

19. Of the people who normally read your blog, who is most likely to respond first?
Can't say, really.

Star gazer lillies. Except for the yellow pollen-type substance that spews all over the place.

We met in highschool -- he went to my senior prom with a friend of mine.
