Wednesday Weirdness

WW #25

1. If you could only eat one fruit for an entire year and that fruit would magically be in season and ripe that full year, which fruit would you choose and why?
I would have to say Cantaloupe. It has always been my favorite fruit.


2. What is something that makes you sad?
Seeing the sadness and wariness deep in the eyes of an abused child.

3. What would you do if you came home from an extended vacation and found that someone else was living in your house?
Freak out completely!

4. What US President, alive or otherwise, would you like to have dinner with?
hmm. Tough one. Probably Barack Obama.

5. What is your opinion on multitasking while driving? (Reading a book or work documents, changing clothes, fixing hair, applying make up, shaving your face, et cetera)
Ummm... Pull them over, kick their ass, then take away their right to drive!


6. Do you ever multitask while driving? If so, how often would you say you are guilty of it?
When I am driving, I am driving. Period the end. There are too many multi-tasking morons on the road trying to kill me for me to do anything other than pay complete attention.

7. Do you tend to be early, on time, fashionably late or LATE to work and work related events? Do you tend to be more or less punctual for non-work related events?
It makes me crazy to be late for anything. If I am going somewhere I have never been, I tend to arrive 15-30 minutes early to give myself time to find the place. Otherwise I have to be at least five minutes early, even if I just sit in my car and read until it is time to go in.


8. What is a quirk your significant other has that you would define as "cute"? If you have no SO, what is a quirk you find cute in a potential SO?
He will stop and shake his booty at me or lift a corner of his shirt just enough to expose a bit of belly as he is walking through the room in a silly sexy pose.

Tagged!

So, I have been Tagged! Here goes:
Seven random/weird facts about me:
1} I can't stand to wear necklaces, they make me feel like I am being choked.
2} No matter how tired I am, I can't fall asleep at night if I have not read at least a few pages in a book.
3} I adore giving gifts but feel very weird receiving them.
4} I am always nice to the Jehovah's Witnesses that come to my door to pass out tracts. I smile and say thank you, then throw them away so that I don't hurt their feelings.
5} I never say no when kids come to my door selling things for school or clubs, even if I don't need or want anything, or am broke.
6} If I had the room, I would adopt every stray or abused dog I found. Including all the dogs at the Humane Society and the pound.
7} I think snakes are cool, and almost bought a python when I was a teen.

Okay, who to tag?

hmmm.. sad, I can only think of five. Ok, if you read my blog, consider yourself TAGGED! Just drop me a comment and let me know so I can check it out!

YAY ME!!

I got the job!!!
I am once again a contributing member of society! YAHOOOO!
So, I will be working with abused kids, abused women, single moms, etc... pretty much being a jack-of-all-trades.
Pretty cool, huh?
I start tomorrow morning, and since the training session is in a city about an hour and a half away, and I have to drive through downtown DFW during morning rush, I have to get up at the butt-crack of dawn in order to make it in time.
Anyway, I am very excited and can't wait to get started.
Thanks to all who crossed their fingers and prayed for me!
Maybe now I will have some good stuff to write about... working with kids, I am certain that zany things will happen daily.

Nothin'

There is literally NOTHING blogworthy happening in my life. That is really sad.
W.H. has been sick with a nasty cold for several days, and I am working like hell to NOT catch it.
As you know, when I had a life and a career and left the house every day I had things and thoughts to write about.
At the moment, during this mind-numbing time when I never leave the house except to get groceries, have not yet found a job (thanks to the damn republican government for totally fucking up the economy) I rarely have anything worth sharing.
Although I do have one interesting thing to note... I emailed my resume and references to the rape crisis center, the domestic violence shelter and the child advocacy center here. Not only did no one respond with a job offer, but nobody even tried to recruit me as a volunteer! I think there are some volunteer recruiters out there that are REALLY not doing their jobs! I would have been all over that resume like white on rice trying to snatch up someone with my background and qualifications as a volunteer. oh well. Not everyone can be as awesome as me as a volunteer recruiter... **snicker**
