1. Which is more appealing and why - a life of leisure or a life of accomplishment? Well....both. For me, how about accomplishing something and THEN living a life of leisure *enjoying* your accomplishment! ;)

2. How many people have you kissed, not counting family? Oh god, really?! Um....ballpark of 35? If we are talking quick peck on lips though then double that number, at least. (I tried to put a lot of thought into this and figure out a 'real' answer and it was hurting my brain so I guessed, lol)

3. How many times have you ever been in love? Not including my children, four times.

4. When you're unhappy in a relationship, do you treat the other person badly? [Examples we've tried: causing jealousy, picking fights, withholding sex, getting real quiet.] NO! I didn't. I don't. Now, with AH I did withdraw into myself but that was caused by insane, extended unhappiness and being so fearful of walking on egg shells at all times. When I'm unhappy I am notorious for withdrawing. But nothing else comes about.

5. Regardless of what's right for you now, would you say you have a good idea of the kind of person you'd like to end up with? Can you, will you tell us? Yes, lol. I want to be treated like a Princess. Have doors opened for me, my hand held, someone who's affectionate and likes to cuddle and let me rest my head on their chest as I fall asleep at night. Who let's me have my independence but at the same time wants to take care of me. Someone who takes care of themselves, cares about their appearances, has good taste and dresses nicely. Successful, open minded, kind and caring and outgoing are nice attributes as well. (And hey! I'm with that person. :)

6. If you're dating someone, is it okay to flirt with other people? Absolutely. It's part of my nature, I'm a flirtatious person. I do make sure the person I'm with *knows* I'm 110% INTO them, regardless of any flirting going on.

Bonus (as in optional) : Describe your personality with three adjectives that describe you well. [For the folks with "technical" degrees adjectives are modifiers, like "musical", "adventurous", or "carnal".] Confident, compassionate, flirtatious (*gasp!*....lol)

I'd love for you to play along....love reading everyone else's answers!!! Come on....you know you want to...... ;)

I'm all about fun.....

....but I'm 'funned' out. Yeah. No more fun for me, ok?

We lost power last night around 1:00a/m due to winds that were 100-115mph (seriously!). No power means no heat....through heater vents, the water bed the kids sleep in OR the heated mattress pad/blanket on our bed.. No internet. No phone. Very limited water. No hot water. And really most importantly to me, NO COFFEE. I say most important to me....but I think my family agrees. Me with out coffee is like a crack whore with out, well, crack. LOL! Not a pretty picture. Ask MOMD. I admit. I have my vices. First and foremost is my morning coffee. Must. Have. Coffee. I am a complete *mess* with out it. And second (which I've already share with you from our previous BIG storm) is Diet Coke. Each has it's place in my life, my day. And each is heavily relied upon to be the bubbly, fun to be around, exiting "me" (snort! ;) and withstandable by everyone around me. ((((my family))))

Despite this little 'glitch' in our lovely lives we sucked it up (wearing freaking LAYERS) and got the kiddos up and ready for school. Walked to the bottom of driveway (because last night the car couldn't make it up the drive bc it had filled in with blowing snow) and *thanked god* at least the CAR had heat. But soon were informed the road into town was snowed in. The wind had blown so much snow onto the dam road next to the lake that it was closed. This is the only road. It took plows and special machinery the. entire. day. to clear the road so that people could leave the area. When we finally made it down the road, the snow drifts created by the plows were 20 some feet tall??? INSANITY people. Seriously.

So. Nobody went back to school. Nobody had a first day of school. The power was restored around 12:30 this afternoon. That was an amazing relief.....as we were in the middle of packing bags to stay over at my moms. Who DID have power. And heat.

All is ok now in ANT-FUCKING-ARTICA.

"Women might be able to fake orgasms, but men can fake entire relationships."

Interesting. Eh? I read this on a site the other day. It intrigued me. I ended up deciding to steal it from Professor Fate (I'd link the sexy dude but fucking 'whatever' won't let me, ugh!). Who stole it from all these other people. LOL. Huh.

And poof. Just like that. He's gone. (The Usual Suspects, 1995)

So AH has moved away. It came to my attention last Tuesday, by LP, that AH and his new girlfriend were packing up and moving out of state this Sunday (uh yeah, we're all smart people here, that's TODAY). It was AH's wkend to have the kids. So when we picked up the kids tonight, there was AH waiting in the parking lot with his truck and trailer packed up. The children met us with with big bags of all the toys they had accumulated at AH's house since they have been visiting him (for those keeping track, a month....A MONTH people...he was able to keep our visitation agreement for a month). It's not that I'm completely surprised he's moving. I was given some warning, I had some inklings this was going to happen, he and his attorney had alluded to this happening at some point. What I'm most thrown off by and just frankly *utterly stunned* and taken aback over, is that NO ONE has ever informed me of what is going on. What is happening. Where he is going. When he plans to see the kids again. I've never even been told directly that he *won't see the kids this Tues as planned* as PREVIOUSLY agreed to! I have gotten all and any information from our 7yro daughter. I am the mother of these children. Yet, I have no fucking clue where their father is moving, what he will be doing, how to contact him, when or if he will be back in town, when and if he plans to see them again.... I mean seriously, HELLO!?!???!

So. insane. [shaking head]

Anyways. We have had this insane wind. Wind in our area is not so uncommon. Three back to back snow storms/blizzards *COMBINED* with wind IS. We woke up this morning and our driveway was 'mostly' blown in with hard, encrusted snow. We were able to make it down the drive (with some help from Mr. and Mrs. Shovel....fucking A, I have shoveled more this winter....which is only PARTIALLY OVER....than I have all of last winter, and been STUCK more than I ever had in like, my LIFE). But by the time we came home tonight the drive was completely snowed in. Had approx 4' of snow filled in with blown snow. You know. At this point, fuck it. I fought for over four years to NOT move out of state. But you know what, sign me up. We're moving. To fucking JAMAICA man. JAMAICA!

...:::sigh:::...No. I love where we live. But I'm just not feeling the 'love' at the moment. LOL It'll be fine. I'm just venting. MOMD has already spoken with the plow company and they will be here in the morning. To plow the driveway. Again. For the like, oh I don't know.....the FIFTH time in three weeks. Man that dude is *LOVING* us...I tell ya......

LP is *supposed* to go back to school tomorrow.

LM is *supposed* to start his first day of preschool tomorrow.

*~*~*~*~fingers crossed~*~*~*~**~ You know?!??! Let's hope..... Ok. Not just that they *get* to go back. But that it goes OK. He has only done one thing on his own. He attended a Tumbling class for two weeks this past summer. Two. whole. weeks. Before he flat out said, nah, that's ok. No tumbling for me. Not going back. And it began with "are you going with me", me: "well...no, just you are" and him promptly saying "I'm not going either. I'll stay home with you". At the time I had struggled. I *knew* he would be starting preschool at some point. I *knew* his GOING was not going to be an option later on.... But do I MAKE him continue to attend an extra curricular activity he didn't like doing?!?!?! Tough call. I allowed him to not go anymore. He seriously *didn't want to go*. Ok. Fine. But preschool....well, completely different scenerio. So. Well. I just hope it goes ok. This child continuously surprises me. I have no feel for how it will go.

Enjoy your Monday. :)

80's revisited

I have an ever so hip and cool friend (*cough* Katherine *cough*) who recently was talking about some 80's fashion suicides. Reading her comments and what people remembered from this era was like a blast down memory lane. It got me thinking and I reminded me of something I had found on a site a bit ago (Tequila Girl's). Anyways. It's funny to read.
------------------------------------------

You know you are a product of the 80's if..........

1. You've ever ended a sentence with the word "SIKE." LMAO, I don't *think* I did, but I so totally remember other people doing it.
