Well that's Sh*tty.

If you don't know Jack Sh*t, you're missing out. I recently discovered his blog, and instantly connected with his sarcasm and wit. The thing I really enjoy about him is that he is all about bringing laughter and fun into this horrible journey we're all taking together.

And then, the bastard had to go and tag me.

So, without further ado, The Rules:
1. Respond and rework; answer the questions on your blog, replace one question that you dislike with a question of your invention & add one more question of your own.

2. Tag eight other people.

What is your current obsession? Bd's Mongolian Grill
What are you wearing today? Black pants, black and red shirt, black flats.
What’s for dinner? The Hubs is in school, so probably Corn Pops and skim milk.
What’s the last thing you bought? A cinnamon raisin bagel.
What are you listening to right now? HP6 (Half-Blood Prince) audiobook so that I can finish before the movie comes out on 7/15.
If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go? Back to bed. One hour isn't long enough to fully enjoy anywhere else.
Which language do you want to learn? More/better French.
What do you love most about where you currently live? It is in close proximity to almost everything I need.
What is your favorite colour? I like sets of colors, not one in particular.
What is your favorite piece of clothing in your own wardrobe? This nightshirt that I've had for literally as long as I can remember. It's gigantic, and when I wore it as a child, it must have swallowed me whole. It says "Jingle My Bells". And it has holes so big that I might as well not be wearing a night shirt at all. I had to make a deal with The Hubs that once one hole gets big enough for my arm to go through, I'll throw it away. It's damn close.
Describe your personal style? Meh.
If you had $300 now, what would you spend it on? Tickets to the New Kids concert. Yep, I'm that much of a nerd. I have no shame. Unless The Hubs got to the money first - then it would probably go to some totally unworthy cause, like bills or something. Bah!
What are you going to do after this? What I'm getting paid to be doing right now.
Your favorite smell? The Hubs' cologne: Perry Ellis "18"
Do you collect anything? Willow Tree figurines. And hugs...I'm a fan of hugs.
What makes you follow a blog? Good grammar and spelling + wit = a 'followable' blog.
Who do you admire? Lots of people. The Hubs for one, because he is just a really stand up fella.
What’s one thing you dream of doing? Getting pregnant and having a baby.
What is your biggest regret? Tie: that I didn't take advantage of high school, and that I didn't go to college straight away.
What is your favorite thing to do on a rainy day? Sleep and read. Well...not at the same time, obviously.
Do you have a tattoo? I have 4. I plan on getting at least 1 more.
What are your favorite books? The DaVinci Code, The Harry Potters, The "For Dummies" series.
Are you left handed, right handed, ambidextrous, or a little of both? Right handed.
Are you a big fan of memes? Not hugely.
What's your biggest fear? I'm scared of falling off things or down things. Stairs are especially rough if my hands are full.

And now, it's your turn:
Sammy Sue @ Samantha's Saga
Natalie and/or Jason @ Monkeyface and Baldy
Dee @ My Journey
Katherine @ Katherine's Daily Adventures
Jen @ JenisZen
Nicole @ The Road to a Healthier Life
Joy @ Getting Healthy and Pregnant
Lyndsey @ I Could Do A Lot in 15 Minutes

Go forth and conquer!

Soyvey...oy vey!

Finish the sentence:

1. My ex: deserves the girl he ended up with.

2. Maybe I should: get to working on The Hubs' Valentine's gift.

3. I love: thunderstorms in the summertime.

4. People would say that I'm: silly.

5. I don't understand: why it matters to some people that gays want to get married.

6. When I wake up in the morning: I hit snooze 3 times. Every single morning.

7. I lost: 5 pounds in January!

8. My life is full of: awesome people.

9. My past is: chock full of mistakes.

10. I get annoyed when: The Hubs drives my car and leaves the Odometer on one of the trip meters instead of switching it back to the main number. Yes, I'm neurotic, and yes, he knew that before he married me.

11. Parties are: fun, but I can't last as long as I used to.

12. I wish: I could win the lottery. Cliche, I know, but oh so true.

13. Dogs: make life worth living. Although, I don't actually own a dog right now, so does that mean I should kill myself?

14. Cats: are cute when they are kittens, but not as much when they get older. Also, The Hubs is uber-allergic.

15. Tomorrow: is Wednesday. I have to cover the phones for the receptionist's lunch break.

16. I have a low tolerance: for closed-minded people. And bad drivers.

17. If I had a million dollars: I'd buy you a green dress. (But not a real green dress, that's cruel.) Seriously, though, I'd pay off all my bills and the Hubs and I would finish our degrees.

18. I'm totally terrified: of falling. One day, I'd like to go skydiving to get over that fear, but it will have to wait. Especially now that that guy just had to land himself on his first jump after his instructor died of a heart attack mid-air. Yeah. It's gonna have to wait.

19. Next month: is my birthday! And I love me some birthday!

20. In ten years, I hope: to have a family, a house and a dog, and to have my debt under control.

Repost this as "Finish the sentence..."

OMG...I love "about me" surveys. Does that make me conceited? Egotistical? Strange? I hope not.

25 Random Things (from Facebook)

This thread is going around Facebook like crazy, so when I was tagged, I filled mine out and tagged others. Just thought I would share it with y'all. Feel free to do your own!

1. I love climbing in bed and watching Gilmore Girls all weekend long.
2. I own (and love) a cd of Patriotic Hymns sung by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
3. My husband is so good to me that he makes me feel like I'm a horrible person/wife sometimes.
4. I don't own anything that lives. Not even plants. Or a fish.
5. I have four tattoos and can't wait to get more.
6. I'm just dying for us to have kids so that I can take them to Disney World.
7. I haven't spoken to my sister in over 2 years.
8. When the BFF and I lived together we had a pact that we would clean out each other's room if we died so our parents wouldn't find anything embarrassing. LOL.
9. I'm finally starting to crawl my way out of debt so that one day (in like 3 years) I can actually go back to school and finish that blasted Communication degree that I'm so close to.
10. I wish I could travel more - Fiji, the Bahamas, NYC, LA, Greece, Italy, the Keys are just some of the places I'm dying to go.
11. My "little" brothers (13 and 14) impress me every day.
12. I wish I could have a "do-over" for High School. There are so many things I would have done differently...
13. I want to join a community choir sometime soon.
14. The Hubs turns 30 tomorrow.
15. My friend Natalie and I were born 2 days apart. I'm older.
16. I can be a real bitch sometimes.
17. Harry Potter books are my favorites.
18. I heart Wikipedia. I spend a lot of time there linking from one random thing to another. For instance, recently I checked out the recent deaths (as I always do), and made this trail: deaths, ultramarathons, rogaining, backronym. Where else could you learn about such completely random things by them all being linked together?!? Have I mentioned that I heart Wikipedia?
19. I bite my nails.
20. I want a Chocolate Laborador. There are so many things standing in the way of that, though, I'll get one in 2012 probably.
21. I won at Roulette in Vegas at The Bellagio. I hit on a $5 bet on the number 9, and won over $300. The BFF and I got tickets to Blue Man Group at Luxor with the money.
22. I wish I was more patient.
23. I have diabetes.
24. If I could re-do my wedding I would do a lot of things differently.
25. I only like fruity scents.

Oh, and by the way, the diet's off this week. I officially gave up, but you'll still get a Monday Weigh-in, and I'll be back to it then. (Don't hate me too badly!!!)
