A Random Random Dozen

1. What is your favorite Mexican Dish?

One with Mexican food in it.



2. When you were a kid, did you get started on your homework right away after school, or did you procrastinate?

Does doing it on the bus on the way to school count as procrastinating?



3. What is your favorite store for home furnishings?

Depends on who's paying.



4. When you were young, did you like school lunches?

Anything they served at school HAD to be better than anything my mother would have sent...if she remembered to make it.




5. Is religion a crutch?

A crutch is similar to a cane, which is what you use after disc fusion and a few laminectomies ...along with a brace, bone stimulator, raised toilet seat, bench in the bathtub and a bottle of Dilaudid.




6. In your region, what is the "big" (most popular in the community or state) high school sport?

football




7. Do you consider yourself rich?

I consider my grandmother's blackberry role with cream on it very rich! AND Delicious!





8. Which of these would you have the best chance for success in administering:
A) CPR
B) Heimlich Maneuver
C) Changing a flat tire

A) CPR... however, I have discovered that it is rarely successful unless someone is already administering it before EMS gets there. What are you waiting for? It's easy! sign up for a class today!!




9. Which dance would you prefer to learn & why:
A) Salsa
B) Hip Hop
C) Waltz
D) Swing

ahem, I'll have to pass on this as I am going to need to learn to walk again first.





10. What's the worst news you've ever delivered to someone?

I worked in the FD. Nuff said




11. Name something you learned in college that had nothing to do with classes or academics.

Kids that pay all, part, or even just a portion of their own way tend to do much better.





12. New variation on an old question: If there's a song in your head that just won't get out, what is your favorite (or most repeated) line in that song?

When I was getting ready for surgery, I was going to run a Tuesday Guest Star with a doctor song. I never got around to it but did a little searching. UNFORTUNATELY, I found this one.

All I really remember is doctor, doctor, doctor, doctor.....

A Very Random Random Dozen

A Very Random Random Dozen. I decided to go back and choose a different group of questions rather than do the ones from this week.
Why? you ask?
How should I know?
Why is in left field.
What?
What is on second.
Who is on second?
No, Who is on first.
Well, who?
Right.
What?
No, What is on second.

(sigh) I don't know.
....THIRD BASE!

1. How good are you at delaying gratification?

I've been told that "instant gratification" is my middle name. Not something to brag about. Actually I've been told that alot of things are my middle name. Well, I don't know if they actually said it was my middle name. That's just semantics. Otherwise my name would be ... MYADinstantgratificationHDMe. That would take too long to type.


2. Maybe a marshmallow wouldn't be too difficult a temptation for you. What food (or anything else) would be most tempting?

Maybe a marshmallow WOULD be a difficult temptation for me. Nah, it wouldn't be. I could probably go for years without having another marshmallow and would never miss it. On the other hand, it probably isn't so nice to pick on marshmallows. After all, I would rather have a marshmallow than beets.
The question is what food (or anything else) would be most tempting. It would be a drink. Diet Coke.

3. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being saintly) how patient are you?

See #1.

That is with myself. I seem to have lots of patience for other people....MOST other people...not all.


4. Have you ever waited for something in life only to be disappointed upon realization of the goal/object/etc.?

probably


5. Are you a person who takes shortcuts?

Only when I do.


6. Which line is hardest to wait in?

It doesn't matter. Whichever line I get in will have a computer problem, the printer will run out of ink or paper, it will be time for a shift change, or the person in front of me will take 2 hours. OK, I do have a hard time waiting in line. Usually I have to start singing and dancing or talking to myself....it's amazing how quickly the line starts to move after that.


7. Did you wait to discover the gender of your unborn child until its birth?

No, but I did wait until after he was conceived.


8. Are you more patient with children or the elderly?

It completely depends on the individual.


9. Did you ever sneak a peek at a present?

Only once. It was Christmastime. I was 18 and married. I had 2 presents wrapped under the tree. I decided to peek at one and then I would still be able to have a surprise for the other one. The one I looked at was a portable, battery operated tv....way cool back then. I could hardly wait until Christmas to open the other. Christmas morning came. I opened the other. It was 8 D batteries, (needed for the tv). Although very practical and thoughtful, there was no surprise Christmas morning. It was a huge let down....my fault completely....but still a huge let down. I have never peeked since.


10. What is the longest you've ever waited for anything?

Still waiting.


11. Who has more patience, you or your significant other?

I thought Who was on first...




12. Which of the following songs about waiting is your pick for the best? (OK, you may substitute another, if you like.)

A) Anticipation by Carly Simon
B) The Waiting by Tom Petty
C) Right Here Waiting for You by Richard Marx
D) Wait for Me by Rebecca St. James

Monday, Monday by The Mama's and The Papa's.
On Mondays everyone goes to school and work. not that I am anti-social or anything.....
BUT.........

Random Dozen

Welcome to the Random Dozen. Hosted by Linda at 2nd Cup Of Coffee.


1. Have you ever fired a gun or shot a bow and arrow?

My gun is a hard worker and is very responsible. It has become a part of the family. I imagine I'll keep it until it retires.My bow and arrow, on the other hand, have been nothing but trouble. I need to go ahead and fire them....I think shooting them would be a bit extreme.



2. Do you know where your childhood best friends are?

I'm happy just knowing where my kids are.


3. Are you usually early, late, or on time?

It depends on whose time we're talking about.


4. Are you more of a New York or California type?

Neither. My typing stinks. I'm happy when I reach 30 wpm.


5. Do you have a special ring tone?

As long as it doesn't turn my finger green, I'm happy.


6. What is your favorite type of chip?

A chip off the ol' block.


7. Best comedy you've ever seen is ....

The funny ones.


8. Have you ever cut your own hair? To quote Dr. Phil, "How'd that work for ya?"

Rosanne Rosanna Danna Hair Fun Fact....You can't tell the difference.


9. If you were going to have an extreme makeover, would you rather it be about your house or your personal self?

Neither. I would kindly give it to my mother to use for herself....they do inner-self make overs don't they?


10. Are you allergic to anything?

Only the things that cause me to have allergic reactions.


11. Why is it so hard to change?

What's the big deal? You go to the closet, pick out another outfit and put it on.


12. One last question dedicated to February love: CS Lewis said, "To love is to be vulnerable." Please share one example of that assertion or share any thought you'd like to about this topic.

I'm sorry. I didn't hear the question.

Random Dozen

Welcome to my Random Dozen. this is a meme from Lidna at 2nd Cup of Coffee......but I bet you already knew that!


1. Are you pleasant when you're ill, or are you a grumpy, fussy patient?

Pleasant....really. Of course it is easier now that the kids are older and I can actually rest a bit when I'm sick.

2. When you find out that school is canceled (due to inclement weather) what is your gut reaction?

Haha. Was this written just for me? Honestly it is ok when I turn off the alarm and go back to sleep....but then I have to get up...and there are people in my space.....
ALSO, it is fun the first day. Kind of like a holiday. The 2nd day is still a bit festive. On the 3rd day I was beginning to get a bit annoyed that no one knows how to hang up wet snow clothes and there are puddles of melted snow on the floor (wet socks...yuck). By day 4 my left eye started to twitch and I was feeling a bit jumpy but then on day 5 everything was fine. Nothing bothered me at all as I sat in my own little corner, rocking back and forth, singing incoherently to myself. Days 6,7,and 8 are just a jumbled memory.....


3. What is one domestic skill you wish you could improve?

As a Domestically Disabled woman, it is difficult to choose one. My family would probably be thrilled if I could improve my cooking.


4. Do you decorate your home for Valentine's Day?

WAHAHA! No.


5. What song is on your mind today?

Flying Purple People Eater.

OK, not really. It is actually that commercial....Call JG Wentworth 877-CASH NOW!!
I tried to post it here but it keeps ending up at the bottom of this post. At least you now have something to look forward to.

(oh great...now I'm humming Flying Purple people Eater!)


6. Do you prefer contemporary movies or classic?

Classic


7. How well do you "compartmentalize" your feelings? For example, how well can you put aside a really trying moment to deal with the immediate situation which is not related to the trying moment, e.g., putting aside a tiff with your spouse in order to finish wallpapering a room.

I am The Queen of compartmentalization!!
(however, not so good at wallpapering...)



8. What is the first thing that attracted you to your spouse? (Or if you're single, to your best friend.)

Sorry, I didn't hear you. What did you say?



9. When was the last time your heart raced?

It was probably that time I drank too much caffeine.



10. What are your memories of Valentine's Day at school?

Making those mailboxes and passing out valentines to the other kids mailboxes. I don't remember all the valentines having candy attached like they do now.



11. If you were going to receive candy for Valentine's Day, which would you prefer?

No big preference but go ahead and wait until the day after and get it half off...better yet, wait a few more days and get it for 75%-90% off.

Oh, don't tell anyone, and I'm sure you couldn't tell, but I'm not big on Valentines Day.... hopefully I'm not big on any day ....... why? Do I look fat to you? DON'T ANSWER THAT!!



12. Red or pink?

1. Red
2. Anything that isn't pink.
