fun and interesting meme... play along!...


I found this over at Krissy's journalI thought the questions were a little different.  If you want to join in the meme fun please come back and leave your entry URL in my comments section so I can read your answers!  Thanks!

Your best friend tells you she is pregnant.  What do you do? 


I would definitely encourage her to keep the child and let her know that I was supporting her in any way I could.  I would help her find any resources she needed.

When is the last time you wanted to punch someone in their face?

I don't think I have ever hit anyone in my life.  Well, maybe my siblings when I was a young child.  I don't ever feel like punching someone in the face, but I did get very, very angry last week.

What is the last thing you spent money on?

Cat food

Do you think you gained or lost weight this past month?

Stayed steady.  I usually do.

Crunchy or Puffy Cheetos?  

Uh, both.  LOL

Congratulations! You just had a son. What's his name? 

Christian David

And if it was a girl, she would be (I don't know if this was a question or if Krissy put it in. LOL  I will answer it, though)

Anna Christine... Wow, Krissy, I noticed how similar we were with the names!  I won't be having any children, though.  It would be a miracle if I did!

What are you craving right now?

Nothing really

What was the last thing you cried about?

Missing my grandsons and daughter

When you buy something and your change is 2 cents, do you keep it or tell the cashier to keep it?

Both.  But I usually keep it.  I have a penny jar that is filling up nicely!

What color is your tissue box?

I am out of tissues right now.  I would like a tissue box with flowers on it, though.  LOL  I need to go to the store!

Do you have a ceiling fan in your room, and if so, is there dust on that fan?

Yes I do have a ceiling fan.  I love ceiling fans!  They keep me cool!  Um, let me go look and see if there is dust... Ugh,there is some dust.  Thank you for reminding me to clean my ceiling fan.

Scariest thing you've experienced in the last year?

My boyfriend getting very sick.

Have you ever had a garage sale?

Yes, I have.  My daughter talked me into it.  And as Krissy said, it was NOT worth it.  We did so much gathering, tagging, and sitting in the heat, to get very little money.  I did enjoy spending the day with my daughter and her friend, though.

What color is your iPod?

I don't have one.  I don't want one.  Am I weird?

What is the last alcoholic beverage you had?

It's been so long I can't remember.  Maybe a few sips of wine a few years ago at a friend's party.  I don't drink.

Are you happy right now?  

I have moments of happiness and joy, but I am mostly content, thank you.

Who came over last? 

My boyfriend John

Do you drink beer?

NOOOOOOO

Have your brothers or sisters ever told you that you were adopted? 

I look like my mom and dad and we look and act like one another, so no.

What is your favorite key on your key chain?

My house key.  It allows me to enter my home, which I feel so comfortable in =)!!

What was the last movie you watched at home?

Witches of Eastwick 

What is in your pocket?

I don't have a pocket.  I am wearing a nightgown.

Where do you hurt?

Oh my goodness, I woke up hurting EVERYWHERE.  With fibromyalgia, you have 18 tenderpoints.  Every one was swollen and throbbing in pain this morning.  It's gotten a little better in the past two hours, but not much.  I hate hurting 24/7.  ~sigh~

Has someone ever made you a Build-A-Bear? 

YES!!  My son made me a bear and put his voice in it!  It says, "Hi Mom, it's Matt.  Love you!  Miss you much!"  I play it when I need to hear his voice.  Awww...

What's something fun you did today?

All I've done today was fiddle on this computer.  That is always fun!!  I am also playing fetch with Baby Boo!  He hasto play fetch every morning while I'm on the computer until he gets tired.  It happens somewhere between hour one and four.  He isn't tired yet this morning.  We are on hour three.  LOL

What is your favorite aisle at Wal-Mart?

To tell you the truth, I don't like Wal-Mart.  I try not to go there anymore.  I have read a lot about them, and well, I try to support smaller, local businesses.  But to answer the question, I would have to say the music and movies aisle.

When is your birthday? 

October 27.  Are you going to give me a present?  LOL

Is there anything hanging from your rear view mirror? 

Not right now.  I sometimes have a rosary.

What kind of milk do you drink? 

2%

What is something you need to go shopping for? 


Groceries!  I am very low on groceries!  Also, cat food and cat litter.  I seem to be always running out of that!

Don't forget to leave your URL if you want to play along!  Also, don't forget the letters for this week's Sentence game are SPRING!  Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday!!  Hugs to all! xox

Wow, it's already Saturday morning again.  I had a busy, busy week.  I had a lot of doctor's appointments.  They all went well.  My boyfriend is still healing and doing fine, thank goodness.  Matt (my son) is in Florida.  He went for four or five days to pick up the rest of his belongings.  He has decided to remain here, get an apartment, and perhaps even start college when he is a resident for one year.  I am stuck taking care of his lizard that likes to eat crickets  ~shiver~ .  He put eight crickets in his cage before he left.  They haven't stopped chirping since.  LOL  It sounds like summertime in my home.  LOL

Easter verse, "WS" canceled, Easter jokes!...


After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men.

The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: 'He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Now I have told you."

So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. "Greetings," he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to them, "Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me."

- Matthew 28: 1-10


Happy Easter weekend everyone!  I have decided to cancel this morning's installment of the "Weekly Sentence" so you can enjoy some holiday fun with your families.  I will pick it up again next Saturday.  I have a few Easter jokes for you this morning!!  Wishing you and yours a blessed, joyful Easter!!  Hugs!! xox
