All in the house that Jack built.
1. How old do you wish you were? I am fairly happy being the age I am now.
2. Where were you when 9/11 happened? In the office.
My brother worked in the building across the street from the WTC, and I spent hours watching TV news coverage, crying, and speed-dialing his cell, office, and home numbers. The email I sent immediately upon hearing the news never got to him as his firm’s back-up servers were in the WTC. I finally got the message that he and his fiance were safe, they’d walked home to 14th St before the buildings collapsed, sometime around 2 or 3 pm.
3. What do you do when vending machines steal your money? Curse, kick, repeat. For all the good it does.
4. Do you consider yourself kind? No. I am too impatient to be truly kind.
5. If you had to get a tattoo, where and what would it be? http://behindthestove.blogspot.com/2006/06/quote-is-just-tattoo-on-tongue-william.html
6. If you could be fluent in any other language what would it be? French. My husband speaks French to the boys, and once they start understanding, responding, I am so toast!

10. Would you move for the person you loved? I stayed where I’d moved, for the person I loved, which is even a bigger deal, IMO.
11. Are you touchy feely? Not in the least. My idea of romantic interaction is a punch on the arm and a “Love ya, dude.”
12. Do you believe that opposites attract? H and I are living proof. He IS an extraterrestrial life form, you know.
13. Dream job? Have it.

22. Where would you rather be right now? Nowhere. I’ve been dying to work on a blog post all weekend. Time gets shorter and shorter for that. Although the pool later is enticing…
23. What makes you feel warm and safe? Money in the bank. Something baking in the oven.
24. Heavy or light sleep? Sleep? What’s that?
25. Are you paranoid? No. They really are out to get me.
26. Are you impatient? Yes. Therefore not kind. See Number four.
27. Who can you relate to? Just about everybody but those I have to relate to IRL on a daily basis. Except Gina. And L and L and S. Ok, I am not as unrelateable as I thought.
28. How do you feel about interracial couples? Wha? Really? C’mon. Who cares about that sort of stuff? Do they love each other? Well, then…
29. Have you been burned by love? Yep. And still scarred. Ah, my delicate little psyche.
30. What's your life motto? “It’s not brain surgery, people.”
31. What's your main ringtone on your mobile? I switched it to the theme from The Godfather, and will keep it like that for eternity.

The last book you loaned me had a Ritter Sport wrapper for a bookmark. That's some kind of marketing plan those Ritter folks have going.
I had one of the happoest days of my life when I was 17, but I have no desire to be 17 again. I'm liking my 30s.
HAPPIEST days of my life, I mean.
#47 was great. You made me laugh.
White shirt? You're about the third mum who'se done this who has said they're wearing white. Don't you drop/spill things on it? Obviously not. That is why I wear black nearly all the time: to hide the stains.
Looking forward to the wedding post.
Oh yes! Come to Australia - we are lots of fun down here :D
The interracial couples and gun questions were a bit odd ... seems like American's are obsessed with whether or not someone has a gun! Yeah, that's a sweeping statement but guns do seem to feature highly in the American psyche. It's always puzzled me.
Ahem, that was totally off the subject. Sorry!
#30 & #42. Thumbs WAY, WAY up.
-J.
Sounds like you had a decent weekend...
and you are, kind of, kind. and I've experienced you patiently wait for coffee...
and I don't think brain tumors are contagious, so just thinking about the mayor isn't going to cause you to have them...
and I have a case of the elipses...
Hooray for #55!!
I've never met anyone who would have answered those so closely to the way I would have.
I was very entertained and amused.
#17 my FAV.
Chat later.
Having a big garage sale this weekend so will be away for a few days.
