That’s what they’ll carve on my tombstone. Unless I get cremated or something. Then they’d have to carve it on some little plaque or urn or something, which could get tedious and complicated….
There I go off on a tangent again. Sorry about that.
ANYWAY…
A couple of weeks ago, Mom #1 handed me this cute little thing:
Which I thought was so sweet of her. But of course, it’s taken me forever to post this, so I guess I may be brilliante… but a little slow. Many apologies to Mom #1 for the delay in announcing this happy little web award.
But web awards, as frivolous as they may be, come with a price. And mine is to answer a little questionnaire and then pass this award on to various others that are also Brilliante. So, without further ado, here are my responses:
A. attached or single? Attached.
B. best friend? Shawna.
C. cake or pie? Cake. Preferrably chocolate. But I’ll take pretty much anything.
D. day of choice? Today.
E. essential item? Sleep.
F. favorite color? Green.
G. gummy bears or worms? Skittles.
H. hometown? We moved around so much, it’s really hard to pick one. I need RegularSis to weigh in with me on this one. What do you say, RegularSis? Princeton or Mendham?
I. favorite indulgence? Decaf Vanilla Latte.
J. January or July? July.
K. kids? They’re around here somewhere.
L. life isn’t complete without? A silent e at the end. Otherwise it would be “lif”. Which isn’t a word. (Can you tell where we’re at in our primer right now?)
M. marriage date? April 29. This is also our younger daughter’s birth date. So, eight years after we got married, at 10:35 pm, I delivered the baby and said to RegularDad “Happy Anniversary, honey. Here’s a baby. Top THAT.” Then he gave me a gorgeous diamond and sapphire and peridot ring and a beautiful wrist watch, and I learned that it’s best not to challenge RegularDad to a game of “Top That.” Because he’s a NATURAL at it.
N. number of brothers & sisters? One Supremely Awesome RegularSister. (Oh, we’ve got a half sister and a few half brothers floating around too, but they’re not REGULAR, if you know what I mean.)
O. oranges or apples? Yes, thank you. I’d love some.
P. phobias? My favorite is: ”Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia”: the fear of long words. (I swear, I’m not making that up.)
Q. quotes? “If you don’t hurry up and finish that candy, I’m taking that book away from you for the rest of the day.”
R. reasons to smile? The dishes are done, the kids are asleep after a happy day, and I’m just about to make myself some popcorn.
S. season of choice? Fall.
T. tag seven peeps! Will 7 of you who haven’t done this one yet please raise your hands? I now pronounce you tagged.
U. unknown fact about me? I can’t drive stick shift cars.
V. vegetable? Salad. If I don’t eat a salad every day, I feel all weird.
W. worst habits? Neglecting my blog, and forgetting to do these little web awards. I’m pretty sure Kitten gave me one months ago, and I never did post about it or put it in my sidebar. Sorry about that Kitten. I’ll go looking for it when we get back from vacation.
X. x-ray or ultrasound? This is the best we would do for “X”? Really? Why not ask “X-Box or Playstation?” Who wrote this thing?
Y. your favorite food? Eggs. Any time, anywhere, any way.
Z. zodiac sign? Capricorn.
Well, there it is. My alphabetical requirement to accept my Brilliante award. I tag the first seven of you who want to do this thing. Which is my lazy way of saying: Look, I’d type up everyone’s name and add all the links, but it’s late and Olympic BMX racing just came on, and I can’t type and eat popcorn at the same time.
Many thanks to Mom #1 for giving me this thing. And can I just say, for the record, how much I love visiting the Two Moms Homeschool blog? Because when I go there, I get SMOOTCHES from Mom #1. I love that. Some days, I go there just for the smootches. Sometimes, I go twice.
Hope you guys enjoyed your summer. Ours has been fun, but not as relaxing as I’d wish. (Isn’t that always the way it seems to go?) Have a fun time down at the shore. You see how that’s contagious??
Try to enjoy every minute of it. We just got back from Florida. (Pre-Fay) The beach is better than any medicine.
Love you guys!
Shawna!
I can’t believe how long it’s been since we’ve been able to talk on the phone. It seems like every time I found myself with time to actually make a phone call, I couldn’t find my address book anywhere, and another opportunity to spend an hour on the phone with you would be gone.
I’ll call you when we get back from the shore. If I have to cancel a full day of school, I’ll find a way.
Miss you.
Uhmmmm . . . Can you please give RegularDad my e-mail address? I’d like to challenge him to a game of Top That.
Have a great vacation! By the way my youngest sons birthday is April 29 TH. I was praying he would be an April baby, their birthstone is a diamond. May is a pearl! How shallow of me but there ya have it!
