Take Care and Happy Blogging :)

I saw the survey a day or so ago...no time to participate then, but this morning I am iced in, sooooo...why not?

Book I am reading -- none currently, but I am lucky in that I can listen to audio books at work, and I just finished "Velocity" by Dean Koontz. I DO plan to start the latest Harry Potter book, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" at home....soooon!

What's on my mouse pad -- sorry, but I have joined the legions of optical mouse users....they are great!...but has rubbed the finish off of my keyboard tray. Somebody should invent a mouse that is less damaging....yes?

Favorite board game -- hmmmm...does Yahtzee count?...lol Actually, I really liked Pictionary when I had it, but I think it got lost when I moved...not sure. I want to try Cranium, but even though it has been on my xmas list for a couple of years, Santa hasn't brought it to me yet...*sigh.

Favorite magazine -- I don't like magazines, as a rule, but since rules are made to be broken, I will say...I love Reader's Digest...there is something for everyone in it.

Favorite smell -- a light dash of Stetson on the neck of the man I love....ummmm...wonderful!!! (actually, just the neck of the man I love, with or without the Stetson!!...he he)

Favorite sound -- a soft and sleepy murmurred "I love you" in my ear while I am still half asleep.

Worst feeling in the world -- letting down the people I care about.

Roller Coaster -- definitely exciting, but they wouldn't BE exciting if they weren't scary too....would they? Are best ridden while tucked in close to that man of my dreams....strong arms to make me feel safe...which is no doubt one of the BEST feelings in the world!

How many rings? -- I always pray I can get to the phone before the ringing stops...because invariably, the phone is upstairs when I am downstairs, and vice-versa.

Favorite food -- wow, what a tuffy. Pizza qualifies, if it is loaded with green peppers, onions, pepperoni...and if I have a nice cold beer to go with it...yummm. In my teens, my 20's, and my 30's, my favorite thing was cheeseburgers....nothin' better!...but I am finding that there is more to life than cheeseburgers...lol I also absolutely LOVE the rice at the Japanese Steakhouse...it's to die for!

Well...it's time to find my ice-ax and see if I can chop my way out of the drive....(no tears if I can't...not gonna kill myself to get to work on a day like today!)
Have yourself a great day...and I may comment again sometime....and btw, I just LOVE your blog!...keep up the wonderful entries!

I've read quite a few of your pieces here, and I enjoyed my visit. I'd like to add you to my favorites - and I'll be back to read more!

Tami

Oh My God! I haven't heard that song in forever! I love the Pet Shop Boys!

Thanks for your support. I have my princess tiara on today. I think I'll sleep in it! :-)

Before things get too out of hand (i.e. myths, the cops), the deceased Scrabble champ passed of causes unrelated to the course of normal play. Since then, I have been unable to engage in regular competiton (mainly due to poor companion selection); therefore, I am quite rusty. That being said, the challenge is always welcome - I do not have a Mensa card or a gun.

Snow in Georgia, what are you smoking?? We dont get snow down here, we get ice storms. Maybe 1 inch of snow a year, if lucky

First off, thx for your kind and encouraging words on my blog. Secondly, curse you for your open invitation to yet another diversion – it’s hard to resist the Mother of All Surveys.

Book: Just finished “Atonement” by Ian McEwan – fabulous, prize-winning fiction; the kind that makes you say, “Wow, this guy gets deep inside people's heads!”

Mousepad: Some boring green one from Dell – I’m thinking of cutting it into a Christmas tree for a company contest for best ornament made of office supplies.

Board game: Liebrary – I haven’t actually played it, but it sounds great – a book and its first line are given and contestants get points for writing their own first line and fooling others into thinking it’s the true one.

Magazine: In 1970 – Mad; in 2005 – ?

Smells: Fresh basil, cinnamon rolls, vanilla

Sounds: Crackles of a fire on a cold evening

Worst feeling: When something bad may happen and it’s my fault

Roller coaster: fun (but those whirly, twisty rides can be a problem, especially after a corndog or two)

Rings: 1 for people I recognize on caller ID

Foods: Pizza, chicken tikka masala, thai curry, toffee, chocolate chip cookie dough (oh man, is it time for dinner yet?)

Book: Guide to Unix Using Linux, 3rd edition
Mouse pad: lost mine when I moved, using a spiral notebook. this way I can turn the pages when they get sweaty.
Board Game: I don't play Board Games
Magazine: Aviation Week & Space Technology (commonly referred to as Aviation Leak by the Air Force), Newsweek, Motor Trend, Road & Track
Smells: Garlic, Grilled Steak
Sounds: Music, Friends yelling "F*** OFF", car engines
Worst Feeling: being lonely, feeling like my life is a mistake
Coaster: never been on one, probably exciting. I am a risk taker, so sounds like fun
Phone: depends on who it is, most ppl 1-2 rings, my mom i let it go to voicemail
Foods: anything edible. I have eaten lizards, crickets, grubs, and worms in survival trainging, so I will eat just about anything

Well I won't do the survey thingy, but I must say Ilove your list of things behind my smile....crazy thing is...I have had some of the same things happen to me....how about this one....move 7000 miles away to marry a person you met in a chat room? now that rocks eh?


Chau y suerte.

Hi!

Thanks for the congrats...and a FUN read! But au gratin potatoes? THAT'S a first!

I love surveys!! (oh and by the way, thanks for commenting back.)

Book: Magical Thinking by Augusten Burroughs. This guy is hilarious! Check him out! If you don't wanna buy his book, just go to the bookstore and peruse through it =)

Picture on my mousepad: Sunset with palm trees reflecting on the water. My coworker got it for me before I went to Fiji.

Boardgame: I would have to agree with Strollerguy. I love Scrabble! And Rummikub! And the one time I played Cranium I really liked it.

Magazine: Don't really read them. I like the travel ones, since I love dreaming about where I want to go next..

Smell: The inside of a book. Even when it smells musty. And the smell of infants. And food that I used to eat when I lived in the Philippines.

Sound: Breathing next to me when I'm sleeping. The door opening when I'm waiting for him to come home. Rain.

Worst feeling: Disapponting somebody that means a lot to me. Feeling like you have to go to the bathroom but not being quite ready yet. Getting a tattoo on your foot. Having drank so much so soon..and having to "purge" early in the night <yech!>

Roller coasters: Scary when I'm in line, especially if it's hours, still scary on the first drop (i feel like i will die), then exciting once the first drop is over =)

How many rings? Honestly, it doesn't matter. I answer the phone as soon as I can get to it (find it in my purse, in my car, in my house)
