Getting to know you...

[quislet]

Just brought daughter #2 home from school with a very upset stomach. Not sure what it is, but it doesn't appear to be life-threatening. The boss didn't need me this afternoon, so I'm all set for some slacking. Managed to woo ginger_rose into finishing her workday from home, too. So I'm going to fill out this little questionnaire I found over at crowitch's page and sip a glass of wine.

[ Born in ] Portland, Oregon
[ Resides in ] Coral Springs, Florida
[ Good student? ] Yes, but only 3.6 good.
[ Eyes ] Blue
[ Hair ] Brown, running to red and grey on my chin
[ Shoe size ] 10.5

Last time you...

[ Believe there is life on other planets? ] Yes
[ Remember your first love? ] Yes

[ Read the newspaper? ] No, I swore not to until a cow blocking traffic was once more front-page news.
[ Have any straight friends? ] I think so...
[ Consider love a mistake? ] Sometimes, but it depends on the definition of love under discussion.

Ohhhhhh, Sammy huh? ::evil grin::

Big {{{hugs}}} to the sick wee one and a hearty "HIGH FIVE" to the big one! Tell her I said (I can't find her page!) much CONGRATULATIONS and WAY TO GO! I hope mine survives. =(

Nes pas? Si, mi nieta

Literally translated, that would be: "Yes, my granddaughter." My friend Vivi once saved my honor by claiming that I drive like a grandmother. The nickname stuck, so she's my granddaughter.

Are you taking applications for that secret crush?};-P
