thirteen questions

1. What was your favorite game as a kid? To be honest? Probably Mario Brothers on nintendo. The original nintendo.

2. If you had to pick reading or watching tv and movies for the rest of your life, what would it be? I'd read, as long as I had good books.

3. What is your favorite non-blog website? I was just about to write "Google Reader" but I think that's probably uber-blog related. I hate to admit it, but probably facebook is the website I'm on the most.

4. What was your favorite book as a child? What about now? I don't know if I had a favorite. I was always reading, and I don't know if I ever read the same books over and over once I learned about the library! Now: I have a hard time picking just one. I read lots of books written by women authors these days, and right now I'm munching up Christopher Moore books as we can find them. I'm also reading White Oleander by Janet Fitch which is really well written. I recommend her.

5. If you had a weekend sans all responsibility and an unlimited budget, what would you do? I'd say sleep, but that's kind of boring. I'd travel somewhere. Somewhere fun where I could alternate between laying on a lawn chair drinking umbrella drinks and watching the surf and doing some awesome adventuresome activities.

6. What do you *really* think of Twilight? I think Twilight reads like it was written by a 14 year old. I've gone on about this before. For whatever reason, I continued to read the series anyway, because I wanted to know where the train wreck would end, but seriously, I was kind of annoyed on each and every page.

7. If you could go back and name your kids again, would you pick the same names? What if you could change your own name? I'd name my kids the same names again. Tennyson Steven is a little rhymey, but it's after my husband, so it stays. When I was younger I thought changing my own name would be awesome, but doesn't every teenager gripe about everything? By now it's something my mom picked out for me and it would be weird to be called anything else!

8. If you could buy one thing today, no matter the cost, and not another thing for an entire year, what would you buy? New flooring for my kitchen/dining room. I am very exciting.

9. Look to your left. What do you see? Mess.

10. What word do you use too much? The odd person has noticed that I say "seriously" from time to time.

11. What is your favorite body part on yourself? I was really tempted to put something dirty (for just a split second) but this is a family site... I have no idea. They're all just parts. I guess I like the colour of my eyes.

12. How often do you wash your hair? Every 3rd day. And don't go "eww" either, because it's nicer on that 3rd day than it is on the first.

13. What would be your ideal job? Are you doing it? Ideal job? I wish I could write. For real - not like "I have a blog so I'm a writer" write. Nope, not doing it.

I laughed at "Seriously." I always know when my husband has had a little too much to drink because "seriously" becomes his favorite word.

I'm sure you have a very pretty "part." But I bet your eyes are even lovelier. :)

I know you have nice legs!!;)

Also, no one should be washing their hair more than twice a week.

And I'd buy a front and back door. We aren't boring, we're smart!

today's to-do's

Things to do: dust. As if. It's been on my list for weeks, I mean, days. prepare income tax stuff. Too bad it's all scattered within different piles of papers throughout the house, garage, back lane, trunk of the neighbor's car. sort piles of paper (see previous). cook carrots and sweet potatoes. Puree into a delicious paste to be fed to the baby and sneaked into my family's dinner. make dinner (or "supper", if I don't want to sound all hoity toity ). Add "orange puree" and "white bean puree" to the pizza sauce. Wait to see if husband notices. daydream of the day when Steven's scurvy clears up. pick up the big kids from school (it lets out in 8 minutes. I should probably go now). okay, going . . . . . . okay, back. You'd be pleased to know that although school let out only 8 minutes after I posted that last bullet, I first went down and switched my wash into the dryer and started another load in the washer. I remember, once upo

dinnertime/breakfast time woes

Suppertime is such a performance sometimes. Why is it so hard to get kids to eat their supper? Last winter I started cooking all these fun meals out of these healthy living cookbooks. There was pasta, cheese, cooked spinach (I love spinach in foods), stir fries, fun burgers, etc. The kids would see a hint of green and spend the next twenty minutes moaning and choking it down. That's the older two. The younger two wouldn't even pretend to try. Eventually I kind of gave up and went back to the regular five dinners that I remake over and over and over and just made sure to serve them with salads and veggies. Jordan eats. Tennyson whines about not liking noodles, potatoes or vegetables but usually we can bully him into eating his dinner. Who doesn't like any side that goes with beef or chicken? Seriously? Not liking pasta? Or potatoes? Or rice unless it's floating in sweet and sour sauce? Good grief. I'm so glad that their pickiness is so individual to each child. Tha

two things: one to do with running, the other with my fastly-deteriorating fashion sense

I've started running again. I'm not sure if I ever "officially" stopped, but I only ran twice in August, totalling about nine miles, so I kind of felt like when I restarted in September that I was, well, restarting. This is probably not even blog-worthy. It would probably be better served disappearing into the chasm that is facebook, but I need blog topics, so here it is. I once had a friend (coughcoughangelacough) who said that she didn't run outside because she was afraid that just maybe, she ran "funny," and people would see her. Being an awesome friend, I insisted that surely she didn't. I lied. I have never even seen her run. I have just recently decided that she does run funny. Wanna know why? (as if spell check didn't underline 'wanna') Everyone runs funny. Quite seriously, everyone . I prefer to run outside, because the treadmill sucks my will to live, and a mile or two in I turn into a sighing, eye-rolling teenager, o
