My first meme!

A while back I was tagged by Lynanne to do a meme. I'm finally catching up, and here it is!

(Oh, and first...Happy Winter Solstice, the days are getting longer again! Hooray!)

1. Explain what ended your last relationship?
I grew up (sort of). He didn’t (at all).

2. When was the last time you shaved?
This morning.

3. What were you doing this morning at 8 a.m.?
Enjoying being told not to come in to work for the third day!

4. What were you doing 15 minutes ago?
Reading blogs.

5. Are you any good at math?
Ha. Haha. Hahahahahaha! I failed 9th grade Algebra and never took another math class again. Oh wait, yes I did. In my first year at college I took a class called “Math Excursions” which was math for people who were probably never going to earn a degree. Which I haven’t. Yet. But I do balance my checkbook, to the penny, every single month.

6. Your prom night?
I did get asked by one person, but he creeped me out a little bit so I politely declined. So then I had to beg the guy that I had recently dumped to go with me because nobody else asked. He finally said he would, after much basking in my humiliation. We had dinner at Arby’s, I think. Or maybe it was Taco Bell? Either way, we went through the drive-through. Sweet and romantic. Ha. In the end I was glad I went with him. We're still friends.

7. Have you had to take a loan out for school?
No. I paid for my first year on my own, then the company I worked for paid for some later. I probably have enough credits for a degree – but unfortunately they are just random credits and don’t apply to any program. AND most of them have “expired.” Did you know that credits expire? I think if credits expire, then degrees should have to expire too!

8. Do you know the words to the song on your myspace profile?
Uhhhm, no? Do I have a space?

9. Last thing received in the mail
Christmas cards! I loooooove Christmas cards – especially ones with letters and/or pictures! I've been bummed about this blizzard because I've missed getting Christmas cards. (And the ones I was supposed to send are stuck in a FedEx warehouse somewhere...they will be very late!)

10. How many different beverages have you had today?
Not enough. One glass of milk, one glass of OJ, KK’s leftover apple juice and NO water. I need to get better at drinking water.

11. Do you ever leave messages on people’s answering machine?
Usually.

12. Who did you lose your CONCERT virginity to?
Motley Crue of course!

13. Do you draw your name in the sand when you go to the beach?
Nope. Auntie Sunshine draws both of our names in the sand along with pretty designs…and I just take lots of pictures.

14. What was the most painful dental procedure you have had?
Hmmmm. Root canal? Strangely, dental procedures don’t bother me much.

15. What is out your back door?
A beautiful deck built by Daddy and Uncle Ray. And a HELL OF A LOT of snow.

16. Any plans for Friday night?
That would be tonight. I'm mentally preparing to see my father-in-law on Saturday. And baking a little. And cleaning a little. And blogging a little.

17. Do you like what the ocean does to your hair?
If I’m near the ocean it probably means I’m on a beach – and I hesitate to complain about that! But, no, I really do not like frizzy hair (at least when it's my own).

18. Have you ever received one of those big tins of 3 different popcorns?
I don’t think so, but I’ve probably eaten the contents of AT LEAST one of them.

19. Have you ever been to a planetarium?
Yes, when I was a kid. Somewhere in downtown Minneapolis I think.

20. Do you re-use towels after you shower?
Yep. I have to do enough laundry as it is.

21. Some things you are excited about?
- Anything and everything that has to do with KK.
- The holidays
- Giving Daddy, and everyone else, gifts.
- January 1. The holidays will be over and life gets back to normal. Whatever normal is.

22. What is your favorite flavor of JELLO?
Strawberry mixed with Cool Whip and chilled. Yummy!

23. Describe your keychain(s)?
A high school picture of me and Auntie Sunshine from one of those picture booths – and on the other side a picture of the words “Best Friends” – written in the sand!

24. Where do you keep your change?
In KK’s ginormous “Wedding Fund” piggy bank that Daddy’s friends had made special before KK was even born. They thought that this might help Daddy out when it comes time to pay for the wedding. It won’t – he’ll still pass out when he gets the bill.

25. What kind of winter coat do you own?
A simple black leather jacket. And a cute black down vest that Uncle Rod and Auntie Shawna just got me for my birthday.

26. What was the weather like on your graduation day?
I don’t remember – I couldn’t see through all of the tears. What was I thinking??? Really I think it was nice and sunny.

27. Do you sleep with the door to your room open or closed?
Open.

28. Tag three people:
Hmmm...I don't know of any other bloggers that read my blog except for Auntie Sunsine and Lynanne (who meme'd ME with this!) So I'll tag Auntie Sushine...and Mom, Paula, and Karyn can do it over e-mail if they want!
