Meme Me

Friday Five. It’s Not Friday. Whatever…

Time for the Friday Five! Yeah, it’s not Friday. I have a tendency to do these day-related meme things whenever I feel like getting around to it… On an interesting side note, I was #500 to post on Heather’s site that mine were up. Pretty freakin’ cool.

Hey, baby, what’s your sign? Do you think it fits you pretty well? Libra, 100% through and through. Know those times I seem indecisive? I’m just balancing the scales. Know how I seem to babble through life some days? It’s how I work things out in my head. Always seeking harmony and trying to keep the peace. Too damn logical but emotional. Super analytical. Have a tendency to “see the other side”, like when Chelsey rants about her son’s dad & I say “well, you know…” (When I actually agree with her without defending the other side she faints from the shock.) Yes, I would say I’m pretty much 100% Libra.

What’s the worst birthday gift you’ve ever received? Hmmm. I’m normally pretty easy going and love my gifts. I can’t think of any that fall into the “worst” category. So let’s go for strangest: for my 16th birthday my best friend Jenna gave me a bag of Chips Ahoy cookies because she knew I liked chocolate chip cookies; a black banana because it made her think of me (I hate bananas and that’s why she found it funny); a balloon she decorated herself; and a GQ magazine so I could drool over all the hot dreamy guys. (She gave me silly string with the power shooter and flavored body paints when I got married. She was known for the creative gifts and her zany style.)

What’s the best birthday gift you’ve ever received? The gift of life. 🙂

What’s the best way you’ve celebrated your birthday thus far? Any time spent with family & friends to celebrate your birthday is great! (lame, easy way out answer but it’s true!) From the childhood memories file, I think it was Kindergarten (when I turned 5) because I know we were in Champaign, Illinois, I remember having a Cookie Monster birthday cake. I loved Cookie Monster. And I got some cool Fisher Price little people toys that year. For some reason, trying to recall birthday memories made me think of that. Must be the innocence of that age… and just feeling really special because my parents had a cool party for me, a great cake, and my friends were all there.

What are your plans for this weekend? Clean. Clean some more. Go to the store to get some more cleaning supplies. Hang out with Jason (my son) and just chill. Add photos to the Pixelog. Work with Jason on his homework. Go to the museum.

Free to Roam…

Want to know why wireless modems are the most wonderful thing in the world? Because I can sit here in bed & read blogs on the laptop. Cord & cable free. Soon I will be returning to my day of cleaning, I just had to take a break from the smell of bleach & Pinesol. Then Jason & I need to work on his Science Fair project stuff. After that, I have to work on my latest project (in addition to that above mentioned housework.) So much done already, but lots left to do.

Know what else is great? Last night I told Jason I wanted him to get all of his work done today so that we can go do something Sunday like visit the museum. This morning when I woke up at 7:30, I noticed he was still asleep – until I realized that the light was on in his room. I figured he was probably just reading – but I was wrong. He was sitting on the floor with his books spread out, working on his homework. When I peeked in he said, “Oh! I wanted to surprise you!” He went on to say that later when I said “come on, let’s do your homework…” he could say “why? It’s already done!” He cracks me up some days. It was a nice surprise to find him doing that work all on his own.
