Late catching the A-Z Train
I am exhausted and feeling mildly braindead. That’s my excuse for resurrecting a week-old meme for today’s post, which I wrote last night when I was even more tired than I am now.
Accent: I loved it on popcorn when I was a kid! Who knew it could kill us?
Breakfast or no breakfast: I seldom voluntarily skip ANY meal. (SHUT. UP.) I love big breakfasts with bacon, eggs, fried potatoes and biscuits.
Chore I don’t care for: When I come up with a chore I DO care for, Bret will announce it on a billboard along I-5.
Dog or Cat: Bret often declares that he’s a dick in a houseful of pussies. He’s half-right.
Essential Electronics: My cameras. I am never without one.
Favorite Cologne: J.Lo Glow. Hate the name, LOVE the scent.
Gold or Silver: The only metal I can wear is steel. Everything else gives my skin a blistery rash.
Handbag I carry most often: My own.
Insomnia: I have narcolepsy. I can fall asleep while talking to you.
Job Title: Legal assistant/Gatekeeper.
Kids: I made more mistakes being a mom than in anything else I’ve done. Oddly, she turned out great.
Living Arrangements: Not here, so what does it matter?
Most Admirable Trait: I have a wildly vivid imagination.
Naughtiest Childhood Behavior: Sex in the family pool.
Overnight hospital stays: Three: Major surgery, childbirth, severe sleep-deprivation.
Phobias: The Dark. And birds. Raise your hand if that’s news to you.
Quote: “Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything.” ~ Plato
Reason to smile: Ghost Hunters International returns tonight!!!
Siblings: Some.
Time I wake up: 3 a.m. every day, almost as if a 15-pound orange cat jumped onto my stomach at exactly that time every morning.
Unusual Talent or Skill: I can tell when it’s 3 a.m. without opening my eyes. Bizarre, huh?
Vegetable I Refuse to Eat: Okra. You absolutely cannot fry the slime out of it.
Worst Habit: Jumping to the worst possible conclusion.
X-rays: Of every part of my body, scalp to sole.
Yummy Stuff: Dark chocolate peanut clusters. Oatmeal raisin cookies. Macaroni and cheese. Shredded beef tacos. Peanut butter, pickle and ketchup sandwiches. And PIE.
Zoo Animal I Like Most: Ugh, NOT a fan of zoos. And most animals smell BAD. If I *must* pick, I’ll say iguanas.

peanut butter, pickle and ketchup - together?! What?! That frightens me a little.
However, you and my dad and my uncles would get along well - as kids they’d have competitions to see who could come up with the most bizarre combinations for sandwiches with pb. PB and spanish onions is a particular favourite of my dad.

“D” is my favorite. LOL.
What’s your opinion on cold breakfast?

Suze: I often treat peanut butter as a meat, and love the same things on it as I do on meat sandwiches. I too love PB & onion sandwiches, especially with tomato slices!
Eden: [Am I allowed to use your real name here, or no?] I’m a huge fan of cereal, especially in hot weather. I also love cold leftovers for breakfast. Or yogurt and fruit. Honestly, I just love FOOD.

Chore I don?t care for: When I come up with a chore I DO care for, Bret will announce it on a billboard along I-5.
Hee hee.
I think I gagged at the sandwich. Really!? Just don’t make me eat it.
Dark chocolate peanut clusters- now THAT I can enjoy.

I want you to know, that though you may think you made “more mistakes being a mom”, I most certainly do not agree. I think you were the best, Moma. I wouldn’t trade you for the world.
P.S. That Plato quote is the most amazing thing I have ever read. I think it’s going to be my next tattoo. Seriously.

“You simply cannot fry the slime out of it”.
That’s great quote material right there.

Sizzle: It’s GOOD. Really.
Juli: Honey, please let your body heal from THIS tattoo before you start thinking about the next!!! And I am so happy to know *you* think I’m a good mom. Because yours is the only opinion that matters.
Hilly: TWK … oh, never mind.

Ewww, okra. Yeah, not a fan.
July 10th, 2008 at 9:46 am
I tried deep fried okra once and it was actually good. Though I may have just been really hungry. My mom gave me some okra so I could make it but I couldn’t bring myself to do it, because the thought of okra? Yuck!
I love peanut butter! One of my favorite sandwiches is peanut butter, american cheese, and Miracle Whip. And I love peanut butter on bologna and hot dogs. And with pickles.

Karl: I knew there was a good reason I
you!
Penny: I love both those PB sandwiches, but I’ve never tried it on hot dogs. I think one of the ultimate junk-food sandwiches is peanut butter and Cheez Wiz, grilled in butter.
