stuff about me you probably wish you never had to know

I'm a sucker for these questionnaires. I get them in emails all the time, and I peruse them avidly, looking for neat little details about my friends and family, and then I fill them out and forward them, thus adding my little contribution to the spam problem that will eventually cause the destruction of western civilization as we know it. I got this one thanks to my friend Liz.

1) My uncle: lives in a very large house and grows tomatoes. One of them does, at least.

2) Never in my life: have I been comfortable with math

3) When I was five: I was in pre-kindergarten, and in the same class as my cousin Ritch

4) High School was: full of drama

5) I will never forget: the day I married Charles and the day Drew was born. No, it was not the same day.

6) I once met: Willy Nelson. I was like 6 though, so I don't remember much about it except that I was supposed to be impressed because he was famous even though I had no idea who he was.

7) There's this girl I know who: will happily spend $200 on a pair of shoes and think she's getting a good deal.

8) Once, at a bar: I saw a guy singing "Rawhide" while riding an inflatable sheep

9) By noon I'm usually: really really freaking hungry, no matter how much I had to eat for dinner the night before

10) Last night: I made chicken and rice casserole. It was yummy. I’ll still be hungry by noon, though.

11) If I only had: enough money so that one of us could stay home with Drew.

12) Next time I go to church, I: will promise to go to church more often.

13) Terry Schiavo: will probably be haunting her husband from the grave.

14) What worries me most: money, and not having enough of it.

15) When I turn my head left: a window with a view of a large, gray, metal box that I think is a heating/air unit. Just over that I can see a skyscraper, and a little scrap of sky.

16) When I turn my head right: My desk, chairs for my clients, my door and the hallway, where I can see the secretary.

17) You know I'm lying when: I tell you I'm not worried about money

18) What I miss most about the eighties: the music, definitely. 80s music is just so kicky.

19) If I were a character written by Shakespeare, I'd be: Katherine the Shrew

20) By this time next year: I will be the mother of a toddler. God help me.

22) I have a hard time understanding: why Algebra exists.

23) If I ever go back to school I’ll: probably kill myself

24) You know I like you if: I laugh at everything you say

25) If I won an award, the first person I'd thank would be: my husband and my parents and God

26) Darwin, Mozart, Slim Pickens & Geraldine Ferraro: walked into a bar…

27) Take my advice, never: be afraid to act like a total geek

28) My ideal breakfast is: hash brown casserole, eggs over medium and lots of coffee

29) A song I love, but do not have is: Piece of My Heart, by Janis Joplin

30) If you visit my hometown, I suggest: Going to the Atlanta Zoo and seeing a show at the Fox Theatre

31) I most like shopping for: books for myself and clothes for Drew

32) Why won’t anyone: pay off my mortgage for me?

33) If you spend the night at my house: be prepared to share your bed with a very angry cat

34) The world could do without: Michael Moore.

35) I’d rather lick the belly of a cockroach than: the belly of a spider!

36) Paper clips are more useful than: Michael Moore

37) If I do anything well, it’s: making Drew laugh

38) The last time I was drunk, I: was in college. It was a really long time ago, I know.
