Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want,
doesn't mean they don't love you with all that they have.

There is a quote that has been running through my mind lately, I don't know who originally said it, but it goes something like this:
There's wisdom in those words. Now, how do you use that wisdom?

Getting to know you...
My mom sent this to me.
I'm supposed to fill it out and send it to her and all of my internet friends.
I decided that was too limiting.
I'm blogging it.
What is your occupation?
On a daily basis I am an adult, child, sister, daughter, friend, lover, confidant, chef, cook, baker, teacher, chauffeur, doctor, lawyer, nurse, CEO, CFO, co-parent, vet, clerk, singer, actor, student, typist, music store, police, detective, judge, jury, ATM machine, listener, gardener, artist, sandwich-maker, maid, laundromat, writer, dreamer, miracle worker, boo-boo kisser, and THE BEST and WORST mom in the whole world.
What color are your underwear?
Ewww. I don't even want to know what color YOUR underwear are, so I am not telling you what color mine are...keeps the mystery alive.
What are you listening to right now?
The cat eating. He is really loud. Apparently Sgt. Pepper thinks that he is a dog and that Timmy is in the well and he is going to take me there if I just stop typing and listen to him and follow like I'm supposed to.
Musically? I just watched CSI from last Thursday and Mad World was playing. I really like the "new" cover.
What was the last thing you ate?
A new Hershey bar with Reeses' Pieces in it.
Do you wish on stars?
Always.
If you were a crayon, what color would you be?
Green.
How is the weather right now?
Foggy. Summer fighting the good fight and trying to maintain it's grasp and losing.
Last person you spoke to on the phone?
Kevin asking me if he could borrow my car to go to Antioch.
Do you like the person who sent this to you?
Yes.
How old are you today?
34 years and 133 days old
Favorite drink?
Well, that is a loaded question.
I mean if I am eating oreos, then my favorite drink is a tall, cold glass of milk.
If I am eating really really REALLY spicy mexican food, then nothing is as good as a cold Mexican beer with lime.
Christmas-time it would have to be Gramps' spiked Southern Comfort punch.
Those hot days in the summer after doing something that made me sweat (this summer it was getting out of bed...) nothing is better than an ice cold glass of water with lemons floating in it.
Those lazy days of the summer when there is nothing special going on and it wasn't too humid outside, then a nice bowl of vanilla ice cream with a root beer .
Normally? Pepsi or Orange Fruit 2 O.
Favorite sport to watch?
Bowling
Synchronized Swimming
Any sport a Chicago team is excelling at.
(GO SOX!)
Have you ever dyed your hair?
Yes.
Currently it is dark brown on the underside of my hair and my natural blonde color on top...why doesn't anyone tell you that your hair gets darker the older you get.
Do you wear contacts or glasses?
I wear both. I LOVE my glasses, but I recently got purple contacts. They are cool.
Pets?
Three cats--Melvin T. Cat, Sgt. Pepper, and King Arthur
I recently lost all of my sea monkeys. I am still in mourning.
