If anything will drive me to self-hosting this blog using Wordpress, it will probably be the lame Typepad themes. I actually pay money for this service every month, can you believe it? If only I had the time to do figure something out on my own...
Nothing -- and I mean nothing -- improves a female attorney's street cred with male attorneys like saying, "Hey, Miss Maryland 2001 just commented on my blog." Holy-shmoly. I really got to bask in some reflected glory there -- thank you, Kelly, for doing wonders for my reputation in Washington County, Oregon. :)
(And you should all check out her blog, too -- more proof that beauty pageant winners are smart, funny women underneath the teased hair and sequins.)
PT-LawMom started a little meme, and since I am taking a break...
1. Name one person who made you laugh last night? The Peach, when she wrinkled her nose at Matthew.
2. What were you doing at 0800? Fine-tuning a marital settlement agreement
3. What were you doing 30 minutes ago? E-mailing my nephrologist about switching my blood pressure medications.
4. What happened to you in 2006? A lot of really bad sh*t: car totaled (and husband injured), border collie died, parents divorced, miserable first trimester of pregnancy, then loss of such pregnancy, family schism (in addition to divorce), dog with cancer requiring leg amputation, dying ferrets -- and geez louise! That only gets me through July. (The good, though: sister's wedding, pregnant with Eden)
5. What was the last thing you said out loud? "Do you want some dog food? Do you, Nor?"
6. How many beverages did you have today? Hm...water, two three cups of coffee, one venti mocha frappucino (light), one diet coke, one diet dr. pepper. I'm thinking maybe that counts as 7 or 8, because I drank water in stages.
7. What color is your hairbrush? Gray. Or black. I don't pay attention.
8. What was the last thing you paid for? the diet dr. pepper.
9. Where were you last night? At home and, later, taking a walk with Eden.
10. What color is your front door? a rich gray-blue.
11. Where do you keep your change? All over the place. Desk, bin in car, bottom of purse, in wallet. Change from the laundry goes into a Batman/Superman piggy bank in the drawer under the washer. If you count Matthew's, on my dresser and under the bed, too.
12. What’s the weather like today? Perfect fall weather: cool, blustery, and raining.
13. What’s the best ice-cream flavor? Umqua peppermint.
14. What excites you? Handbags. My husband. Painting the house.
15. Do you want to cut your hair? Yes, and color it, too.
16. Are you over the age of 25? 9 years over.
17. Do you talk a lot? Come on. After reading this site, you think I ever stop talking?
18. Do you watch the O.C.? No, I lived it, for three years.
19. Do you know anyone named Steven? I know a few.
20. Do you make up your own words? Sometimes, but I like other people's made up words better.
21. Are you a jealous person? I am, but only when I'm hormonal.
22. Name a friend whose name starts with the letter ‘A’. Alesia.
23. Name a friend whose name starts with the letter ‘K’. Kirk.
24. Who’s the first person on your received call list? A lawyer.
25. What does the last text message you received say? "ETA?" (Matthew)
26. Do you chew on your straw? Not since I was nine.
27. Do you have curly hair? More wavy than curly (and only when it's long), but yeah.
28. Where’s the next place you’re going to? Bed.
29. Who’s the rudest person in your life? The last waitress who served us at Bugatti's in Tanasbourne. I don't care how good their Caesar salad is, I'm not going back. Worst.Service.Ever.
30. What was the last thing you ate? An old fashioned donut hole - darn you, GT, for bringing them into my home!
31. Will you get married in the future? Nah. I like the husband I've got.
32. What’s the best movie you’ve seen in the past 2 weeks? I can't remember if we've seen any, but I do know we've been catching up with Heroes.
33. Is there anyone you like right now? Actually, I like most people. Except that waitress at Bugatti's.
34. When was the last time you did the dishes? This morning -- we reached critical mass with the bottles.
35. Are you currently depressed? No, but probably because Matthew has started doing the bills and I have no idea how bad it is.
36. Did you cry today? Yes, during an episode of House. I'm a sucker.
37. Why did you answer and post this? My head hurts from work -- and a meme isn't work.
38. Tag 5 people who would do this survey. I usually don't, but: Alesia, CM, Soozie, Karate Kitties, and Yin. Oh, hell. I can't just pick five! All of you!
So I'm completely and utterly sick of dealing with the Geeklog woes. Maybe someday we'll have the old blog back, but for now, this'll have to do.
