My occasionally snarky thoughts on everything from motherhood, politics, life and current events. Cocktails are sometimes mandatory. Bottoms up!

Voluntary Meme.

Found over at Oddybobo's place. She got it from Dash who got it from Erica and so on... You get the idea...

It is similar in ways to the 20 Questions Meme - but fun none the less. So here we go!

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Yes. Richmond was my paternal grandmother's maiden name and my father's only sister is named Richmond as well.

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Last night. Hey - even tough girls can get overwhelmed and emotional. Right?

DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? To be honest I could give a crap either way. So I guess so.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Ham. Definitely ham.

DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Two beautiful and talented girls. Love them to pieces even when they are making my eye twitch and stomping on my last nerve.

IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Absolutely.

DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Gee. You think?

DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Nope - got those suckers popped out when I was eight. Damn near died in the process too...

WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? No. Sorry - I just don't play that. My hubby would though (if I'd let him).

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Not a big fan of cereal - I prefer other yummies for breakfast... (Thought about saying something about protein and then thought better of it...)

DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? Since usually I am wearing Birkenstocks - no.

DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Yes. Stronger than most women I know and a few men as well. It has served me well as I don't like to wait for theings to be done *for* me - I just want to get things done. Often this involves moving heavy things. I feel that I am emotionally strong too.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Fudge laced butter brickle.

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Their eyes and smile - and what my gut feeling says about them. (It's damn accurate.)

RED OR PINK? Red.

WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? Say what? I love me. I think I am pretty okay...

WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? Friends and family who have died - even though I believe in heaven and that I *will* see them again. Most recently (and acutely) my Uncle Ben. I miss him a lot.

WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Denim capris and brown birks. Comfy McComfy.

WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Leftover chicken marsala.

WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? My girls come in the house...go out...come in...go out...come in... Oh just pick one fercryinoutloud!!!

IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? Magenta

FAVORITE SMELLS? Freshly cut grass, rain, vanilla, turkey dinner in the oven, oh wait, I wrote a post about this...

WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? And old old friend - Jo. She is still having more fun than just about anybody I know.

FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? OU football

HAIR COLOR[S]? Blonde - with blond sauce...

EYE COLOR? Blue? Gray? It varies. Slate, maybe??

DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? No. My vision is good.

FAVORITE FOOD? I am an Omnivore. It's easier to list what I *don't* like - liver, brussel sprouts, horseradish...

SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Happy endings all the way.

LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? Uhhhhh. Shrek 3. It was pretty cute!

WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING? Blue.

SUMMER OR WINTER? Winter - I hate to be hot, and while you can *always* put on another sweater - you can only get so naked. Thems the rules...

HUGS OR KISSES? Yes, please!

FAVORITE DESSERT? I, like Dash, would always rather have another cocktail and skip dessert, but if I have to choose - cheesecake with a snifter of Gran Marnier. Mmmmm....

WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW? Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady (thanks Christina!)


WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? Oddybobo gifted it to me last fall. Here, I'll show you -->

Ha!


WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON T.V. LAST NIGHT? No TV last night. But The 4400 starts Sunday - I'm psyched!

FAVORITE SOUND[S]? Rain on the roof. Laughter. Hhhhheaaaaaaaarhhh! followed by laughter. Heh. The deep breathing sounds my girls make when they are sleeping.

ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? Stones. Gimme Shelter is a favorite of mine...

WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? Orlando, Florida.

DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT? I can dislocate my knees at will - though I am not sure that's a "talent" per-se. Oh! I can whistle (a whole song - in tune) without moving my face. I thought everybody could do that, though...

WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Laramie, Wyoming. During a blizzard no less...

WHOSE ANSWERS ARE YOU LOOKING FORWARD TO GETTING BACK? I am curious to see who else decides to play! (And my trackbacks are enabled, y'all.)

Okay - so that was fun. And like everybody else, you are tagged just by the virtue of having made it through this drivel. Happy Thursday!
