The house is clean. The laundry is done (which never happens). The kids are off from school and not fighting. My studio is too clean to create in. So I've been alternating between touching up the trim paint and kicking around online. I stumbled across one of those surveys on someone else's blog and figured, hey, that's what I could do while I try to remember what else I was going to do!
So here goes...
1. What is your occupation? Stay at home mom, babysitter at other people's homes, and quasi professional house cleaner ; )
2. What color are your socks right now? White, Champion sport socks
3. What are you listening to right now? My daughter is playing 'Every Day is a Winding Road' by Sheryl Crow on her computer in the other room and I can hear it quite clearly
4. What was the last thing you ate? A banana
5. Can you drive a stick shift? Yes, that's the type of transmission I learned to drive on
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? One of those rainbow glitter crayons that looks different depending on how you hold it on the paper. Or spring green.
7. Last person you spoke to on the phone? My husband
8. How old are you today? 40. Same as yesterday.
9. Favorite drink? Pink lemonade (even though it gives me heartburn so I don't drink it much)
10. What is your favorite sport to watch? NFL Football
11. Have you ever dyed your hair? Yes, highlights
12. Favorite reality TV show? John & Kate Plus Eight on TLC
13. What was the last movie you watched? A Good Year

15. What do you do to vent anger? Get snippy with family, go for a walk, vent to a friend or Mom
16. What was your favorite toy as a child? One of them is pictured above, a playhouse my parents built for me when I was 4
17. What is your favorite, fall or spring? Spring
18. Hugs or kisses? Hugs & Kisses! If it's Hershey's though, kisses, definitely ; )
19. Cherries or blueberries? Blueberries
20. Do you want your friends to email you back? Sure, who doesn't like personal email
21. Favorite dessert? Cheesecake
22. Living arrangement? House with one husband, 3 children, one dog and one cat.
23. When was the last time you cried? I teared up during this week's Extreme Home Makeover episode
24. What is on the floor of your closet? I think I saw a pair of my husband's sweatpants, other than that, spotless.

26. What inspires you? The ocean, sunsets, store windows, catalogs, greeting cards, my kids
30. What are you afraid of? Elevator rides to the top floors of tall buildings--and being on the top floors of tall buildings
31. Plain, cheese, or spicy burgers? Plain
32. Favorite breed of dog? Cute ones. We have a golden retriever and he's pretty cute despite his fur that I'm constantly finding all over the house.
33. How many years at your current job? 10 (the mom part) and 5 months for the babysitter part
34. Favorite day of the week? Wednesday

38. Who is your favorite NFL team? New England Patriots (even when they were 2-14)
39. Do you have a house phone that is not cordless? Yes.
40. 10 inches of snow or 100 degree weather? 10 inches of snow--unless the 100 degrees is at the beach or the dry heat of AZ. 100 degrees in NC would surely have 150% humidity along with it and that's just no good.
Wow, I didn't realize how long that was. But kind of fun.
If you're so inclined, do play along!
