Yay! You were just waiting for the next one, weren't you??
1. My uncle once got hit by a truck while bicycling down a mountain in Switzerland. He's fine! And awesome.
2. Never in my life have I been more sick of the phrase "hockey mom".
3. When I was five I started kindergarten, and was freaked out by lowercase letters. True story. I could write in caps before kindergarten, but the first day we were shown lowercase, I cried.
4. High school was fine. I wasn't popular, but wasn't an outcast. Actually, our school was both big enough, and tracked --advanced, standard, basic classes--that everyone seemed to find their
5. I will never forget the day all our friends and family were together with us, coming to celebrate from as close as our hometowns and as far as Malaysia. I'll never forget our wedding day! note: I just realized that I had left the old entry's line in here. it was much more dramatic than this. i'm just not that dramatic!
6. Once I met Michael Moore. I taught him how to say "I like wrestling" in Spanish.
7. There’s this boy I know who got me through.
8. Once, at a bar, I laughed harder than I knew I could.
9. By noon, I've probably been more productive than I will for the rest of the day.
10. Last night I made a so-so dinner
11. If only I had more willpower.
12. Next time I go to church might be at the Unitarian Universalist church in town. Otherwise it will probably be for a family event.
13. What worries me most what the future will be like, for my generation and especially for my kids.
14. When I turn my head left I see pillows, and a peace lily.
15. When I turn my head right I see the wall. it's plain, but nice.
16. You know I’m lying, because I can't keep up with it.
17. What I miss most about the Eighties is ...Steve Perry's mullet and leather pants.
18. If I were a character in Shakespeare I’d be...Mercutio. SparkNotes tells me he's sarcastic. I am kidding about the SparkNotes.
19. By this time next year I'd like to have at least one more publication.
20. A better name for me would be Rainbowbrite Mylittlepony. I'm all about branding.
21. I have a hard time understanding people who are against education.
22. If I ever go back to school, I hope it's for something fun, like cooking/baking classes.
23. You know I like you if I let down my guard around you.
24. If I ever won an award, the first person I would thank would be Steve.
25. Take my advice, make time for yourself. Even if you are busy. It's not worth the loss of sanity, otherwise.
26. My ideal breakfast is a leisurely one, shared on the porch of a mountain/lake cabin with my husband, and probably good friends. The air is crisp, and the coffee is hot, and the company is good.
27. A song I love but do not have is "Times Like These" by the Foo Fighters.
28. If you visit my hometown, I suggest walking along the lake at sunset.
29. Why won’t people stop making political decisions based on superficial characterizations?
30. If you spend a night at my house I'll show you a low-key, relaxing time, with plenty of food and the drink of your choice, late night chat, and a relaxed breakfast (see above) the next morning.
31. I’d stop my wedding for a family emergency.
32. The world could do without plastic bags and paper towels (note. I do use them, sometimes, sparingly. I am such a hypocrite.)
33. I’d rather lick the belly of a cockroach than join the FLDS church
34. My favorite blondie is...it's a tie! My two boys. Non-family, has to be my friend J.
35. Paper clips are doomed, if I am either stressed or, strangely, on the phone.
36. If I do anything well it’s make sarcastic comments. I asked my husband, and he said "baby-makin'" I don't know if he's complimenting our kids or being a big perv.
37. I can’t help but be a perfectionist.
38. I usually cry at stories of triumph over tragedy or disappointment.
39. My advice to my nephew/niece is: travel; make sure to get out of Fondy, out of Wisconsin--not just for a visit, but live somewhere else for a while. You can always go back if you want. (heh. my nephew is not even one yet. he's got time, I guess)
40. And by the way, it is time for me to go to bed.

#12 - way cool! (did I just date myself?). Sunday at 10:00 a.m. we'll be having a mingling of the waters ceremony. We collect a bit of water from all the places we visited this summer, and add it to a bowl, while telling where the water came from. (Well, some of us bring "ceremonial water" from home taps or sneak into the kitchen at the UU Fellowship for water - it's the thought that counts).
And then all that collected water is taken out to the Communty Garden site and poured on the ground in the UU garden plot. Pretty awesome.
You're welcome to add your water . . .
ahhhh, this is so sweet! i may have to do it too! and thanks including me in your favorite blondes (unless, of course, you have another blonde J friend:)
Maria, I wish I would have seen this earlier! It's hard for me to get out of the house with the baby, but I would have planned for it.
And I say "way cool!" all the time.
ha, J, the only other "J" I can think of is brunette. :)
Mark your 2009 calendar. This is an annual event on the Sunday after Labor Day.
But don't wait until then - come any Sunday at 10:00 a.m. - We have child care.
And........ On Sunday, Sept 21, we'll be having "soup Sunday". It's a sort of pot luck (not everyone brings something. We take turns bringing something to share with others.)
Since many UUs eat local, we have incredible food. So the service runs from 10 - 11. We reconfigure the room, and sit down and eat at 11:15 ish. You'd love the food!
