There is no Caps Center anymore... :(

2009-08-18T14:14:27-05:00

I miss when the Caps Center was the Caps Center and not the US Airways Arena and when the Caps used to play in Maryland...

Me... the mediator..

2009-08-16T09:13:56-05:00

My older sis was... older sooo she felt that she could boss me around as much as mom did. For a good while I was the youngest and the baby of the family til my younger sister showed up sooo she was cute as all babies are... til I realized I wasn't the baby anymore and then... I started to resent her...

As we got older... we all got along well as long as there was only 2 of the 3 sisters in a room together... but if all 3 of us were in the room then... I felt like mediator between the 2 stronger personalities of older and younger sisters.

Start with Bonnie Raitt's 'One Part, Be My Lover' and then...

2009-08-13T11:41:33-05:00

I love Bonnie Raitt and I own about 4 or 5 of her late 80's and early to mid 90's CD's.

I dunno... hawks are kinda creepy...

2009-08-05T13:39:04-05:00

Hmmm... well that's a good one... cats have claws but hawks... I think a cat would just be fighting to fend someone off but the hawk... he would fight for the death!

hhehe... I got a real hilarious picture in my mind when I read the prompt... hehe.

Twinkies, anal probes and Explosions...

2009-08-04T11:39:36-05:00

I would tell the aliens to... Buy plenty of Twinkies.... they are sooo good and they last forever!...

oh yeah... and by the way.... Please don't blow up our planet... :)

oh yeah and... if you're going to do an anal probe... pick somebody who enjoys that sort of thing... haha

My invention... I don't think so.. hehe

2009-08-04T11:25:05-05:00

Well... as much as I like plinky... and hate to rain on their parade...I think BuddyJolly is right... (http://www.plinky.com/answers/68812)

If... I had invented anything, I probably wouldn't want to blab what it was... at least not until it was patented and/or copyrighted... because I wouldn't want someone stealing my idea and running with it and making tons of money on my idea.

Once it's patented and/or copyrighted then maybe I'd be telling everybody to peak interest and bring customers...

I wouldn’t miss the smell of stinky stuff…. But..

2009-07-31T10:55:28-05:00

Well I picked the sense of smell because I certainly wouldn’t miss the smell of really gross things... like garbage, sour chicken, chokable perfume, and certain foods….

I love being touched and I love touching sooo I wouldn't want to lose that...

I love seeing things like sunsets and flowers and babies so I wouldn't want to lose that...

I love hearing things like giggling, laughter, clapping, applause, and music.

And taste... oh my gosh I'd certainly lose weight if I couldn't taste all the good food I cook but... if I couldn't taste how would I make sure the food was palatable for others....

but.. something occurred to me about losing my sense of smell... aren't your taste buds attached to your sense of smell? Hmmm...

To relax…I head to the bedroom...

2009-07-31T10:34:36-05:00

To relax…I head to the bedroom... yes... naughty activities are great for releasing tension ;) but... that's not the only thing that can be done in the bedroom... taking a nap can give me a nice break from life and stress and blow off some steam..

Other stress-relieving activities - coloring with your kids (or nieces/nephews), working on a puzzle, reading a book, taking a walk, or just stepping away from the thing that's stressing you and coming back to it later...

Nope... I'm no know-it-all... I just read a lot of articles about relieving stress... and truth be told... I've tried them all.... hehehe... and they do all work at different times.. :)

Not sure there's any...

2009-07-29T15:07:23-05:00

Well... think about it...

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner on.... Captain Crunch, Fruit Loops, or Apple Jacks would scratch up the roof of your mouth...

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner on.... Raisin Bran Crunch, Banana Nut Crunch, or Cranberry Almond or anything with clusters... they're soooo crunchy that I'd have a headache halfway through the 2nd meal..

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner on.... Special K Red Berry, Fruity Pebbles, Rice Crispies, reg Raisin Bran, or Corn Flakes... they get too soggy too too quick... and that would get old very quick.

Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner on.... Frosted Mini Wheats, Oatnuts, or All Bran... well too many trips to the bathroom after Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner of those... hehe

Now if I could have 3 for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner then maybe I'd...
Breakfast - Special K Red Berry
Lunch - Frosted Mini-Wheats Strawberry
Dinner - Fruit Loops

I remember pretending we were monsters...

2009-07-23T10:15:47-05:00

I'm not sure if this was my first memory but... when I was about.. 3 or 4...

My sister and I would get the lemon juice (which came in a fake lemon) and we would squirt some juice in our mouths...

and... that would make us turn into monsters... hehe

while the sour taste was in our mouths we pretended that we had turned into monsters and then... once the taste was gone... we were human again... hehe

we made up that game...

my secret involves makeup...

2009-07-23T09:53:37-05:00

my secret involves makeup...

I still STILL! don't know how to do my makeup right...

I watch all the makeover shows and listen intently when the makeup artist describes what to do but... when I get in front of a mirror and put on makeup... I still feel like a little girl playing in her mommy's makeup...

like I'm having fun but... don't quite know what to do... and could possibly end up looking like a clown.. hehe.

my love secret is...

2009-07-23T09:46:04-05:00

At age 37... to this point in my life... I've never been in love... ever!

I've 'loved' but never been 'in love' and I wonder... is there a difference?

Or... is my view of being 'in love' warped by all the romance novels I read when I was young... hmmm...

'James & the Giant Peach' was scary for kids... and me!

2009-07-21T14:13:51-05:00

'James & the Giant Peach' was a scary movie considering it was supposed to be for kids!... maybe not frightening but it's creepy! even for me... hehe

That tall guy from 'Phantasm' gave me the creeps!

2009-07-21T14:10:07-05:00

That tall guy from 'Phantasm' gave me the creeps! The movie was sooooo awful and my younger sister and cousin and I were such wusses that... we couldn't even watch the whole thing... we had to turn it off and watch one of the other movies we'd rented that Halloween.

Well...the keyboard can keep up with my brain better...

2009-07-21T13:57:36-05:00

Well...the keyboard can keep up with my brain better... When I've really got a lot to say... it's just faster typing it instead of writing it... because my brain moves much faster than I could write or type but... at least with typing... it's close..

Plus... when I type, I can copy and paste and drag sentences or phrases or words around the doc and in writing... all that scribbling gets sooo bad that I can't read my own writing...

If I had a laptop, that's how I'd take notes in school... cause my hand cramps from gripping the pen so tight and from trying to keep up...

Losing the man I love is tear-worthy...

2009-07-21T13:38:13-05:00

I could definitely see losing the man I love as being a major tear-jerker... along with certain sad songs and movies... and when I'm highly stressed sometimes that can even bring tears...

Crying can be a great release... as long as it's not all the time.

It's hard to apologize when ... uhmmm never!

2009-07-21T13:15:15-05:00

For me... it's not hard apologizing at all... if anything... I apologize too too much... I'm very open to the fact that... I'm not perfect, and can be wrong... even when I don't think that I'm wrong... or even when someone else should apologize first.... when it comes to apologizing... I try to take the high road.... of course... I'm only human.. and there could still be a time when I've been stubborn about an apology but... I can't think of it.

I love Target! A gift card would be great!

2009-07-17T12:05:54-05:00

I can't get enough of Target and... fortunately (for me) and UNfortunately (for my budget)... there's a store less than 2 miles from my apt... I'm in there all the time and... I can't leave... I'm always in there much much longer than I planned... and I almost always buy more than I planned...

I avoid calls from bill collectors...

2009-07-17T11:57:00-05:00

Hue-man Existence

I hate talking to bill collectors and I avoid it like the plague!

It's bad enough not being able to afford the bills I have but then... to have someone calling me up every day of the darn week, several times a day and strong-arming me to try and get me to pay something that I can't afford to pay at this time well that's utterly annoying and stressful too.

And... the people who call... they are hired by the company that I owe... but.. the way they grill you and berate you for having the debt, you'd think it was their personal money that you owed.

There are 2 involving bugs... uhmmm no thanx!

2009-07-17T11:46:08-05:00

I would pick an underground bunker because... the other two choices involve bugs possibly crawling on me in my sleep... and that's no fun.

Now... the treehouse would probably be cool with a nice view and the tent... hmmmm... I see no plusses with that cause I'm not a camping kind of person... although with both treehouse and tent.. you do get the stars.

I still stand by my anti-bug choice... hehe I'm not fond of ants or spiders.

I would not have changed a thing...

2009-07-17T11:37:28-05:00

I liked the group of friends that I had in school... I had a nice eclectic mix... the only thing I would have changed is ... I would have actually kept in touch instead of just saying that I would keep in touch...

'Letters from War' always gets to me...

2009-07-17T11:02:57-05:00

The ending of the song always pulls at my heartstrings... you think its a sad ending that the son died but... he makes it home safe... it's such a sweet song.

Letters from War by Mark Schultz

It Happened One Night is one of my favs...

2009-07-16T14:31:03-05:00

It Happened One Night is a romance... and one of the first movies I saw that I didn't even notice that it wasn't in color...

Clark Gable was sooo handsome... although very skinny...

I love Claudette Colbert... 'Midnight' is another fav of mine... from Claudette Colbert...

and... 'An Affair to Remember' (NOT with Claudette) was with Debra Kerr... and Cary Grant but another wonderful romantic movie...

I loved those classic romantic movies where the couple didn't have to have sex to fall in love...

Saw Lt Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) at a Sci-Fi Con...

2009-07-16T14:19:38-05:00

Nichelle Nichols
I grew up watching her on Star Trek the series and she was the only regular female that I remember from the show... I thought she was sooooooooooo cool!

Then to see her at my very first Sci-Fi Convention (Shore Leave 29)... It was sooo cool.... and what's funny is that.. I didn't even get an autograph... I just gushed to my friend about her... while standing about 4 feet away... hehe

Oh well... no one ever said I was cool.. hehe

I served up OJ to Patrick Ewing...

2009-07-16T14:12:05-05:00

Patrick Ewing
I worked as a waitress at a diner in Potomac (MD) which he frequented... I served him... He was very nice and happy to sign autographs if... you didn't bother him in the middle of his meal.

He always had 2 glasses of Orange Juice at the same time... with his breakfast... I guess our glasses just weren't big enough...

GOOD GOSH! I never knew he was sooooooooooooooooooooo tall! hehe

Most of my good days start with me focusing on the good…

2009-07-16T10:41:16-05:00

me focusing on right things
To have a good day, I just need to make an effort to focus on the right things... to focus on the positive in my life...

and when I look around and see... that I can see, I can hear, I can walk and talk and and that I have clothes on my back and a roof over my head, I have a job, I have people who like me and even people who love me, a great man in my life, fantastic friends and a loving and forgiving God...

and.... even on my worst days.... when it feels like everything's going wrong... I try to remember that... as bad as it seems, it could be soooo much worse sooo then I'm grateful that it's not worse...

If I could time travel, I'd go back in time...

2009-07-14T13:00:20-05:00

If I could time travel, I'd go back in time... back to high school... and I'd do all the things that I used to be sooo scared to attempt or do... I'd change my past... which I hope... would change my present... and that probably... would change my future too... I imagine...

Or.... I'd just go back a few days... just far enough to buy a lottery ticket... since I'd have the winning numbers from the present... hehe

Green eggs and ham... just kidding, the dictionary is worth the read

2009-06-28T11:16:55-05:00

I can't read the dictionary enough!

I just love words, how some sound, how some are spelled and the definitions of some words that I've never even heard of... I love learning new words and learning a new one a day... at least.. I even receive a daily word-of-the-day from dictionary.com.

'I would take 3... A smut novel, Sudoku (for beginners) and a logic problem puzzle book... cause.. I never know what I'll be in the mood for from one minute to the next. They ' will help pass the time
