Yeah. I think it's been done to take the wind out of my sails.
Now when I freak-out and get all mean and red in the face, no one has ever said I was cute (and for good reason.)

Which Brady Bunch kid do you think is the MOST annoying?

As long as they're not parking tickets.
And I guess I wouldn't know, since I can't remember that happening to me.

What did you get free tickets to?

DAMN< I missed a whole page! That was my answer to Sam's question about which car I'd like to wreck.


I wasn't crazy about Episode II, and Episode I was OK. The rest were good.


Have you ever drawn a nude model?

I love pottery. I took a few classes to learn how to use the potters wheel. It was difficult, but fun. I'd love to take a few more classes.

Do you speak any foreign languages? Have you ever had to put them to use? And how did it work out for you?

I took Latin for 2-3 years in middle school and Spanish for 4 years in high school.

The other day, I was trying to explain to some workmen across the street that their huge, plastic tarp had blown down the street overnight and onto my yard.

I walked up to that yard and said good morning. When I realized they didn't speak English, I grabbed the orange plastic netting and said, "Negro? Alla!" (trying to mean "The black one of these is over there!") I also pantomimed the sheet blowing away. Finally, one guy said, "Ah, plastico." and came and got it. Of course: plastico.

They think I am nuts.

So I do KINDA speak Spanish. Not so well.



Ever packed your car to the gills? Where were you going?

Last fall while taking Jeremy to school with his not-so-mini refridgerator and belongings, and since we were continueing on to visit my parents in Iowa, we had our travel stuff also. We got it all into our Intrepid, but if we had had an accident that fridge would have taken us all out (It was upright in the back seat.)

Do you enjoy a real italian cup of cappuccino?

I've had a few Illy cappuccinos... I'd really like to get one of these to make them at home... the Mukka Espress! :D

I'd love to go to Italy one day and have a cappuccino there.

Of the places I haven't already been? Eventually, Australia (Thailand is second). Short term (this year) I'm thinking Spain.

Ever been on a cruse?
