  • All about me me me

    1. Have you ever been searched by the cops?
    Sadly no.

    2. Do you close your eyes on roller coasters?
    The only time ever was the front row on Nemesis in a thunderstorm. I wanted to keep my eyes open, but I just rain pelting into them, so had to keep them closed. Which actually made it scarier. Wanting to keep my eyes open but not being able to them!

    3. When is the last time you cried?
    Numerous times recently (hormonal, I now cry when happy, which is a lot). Last time I properly howled was when I had problems feeding Mal Jr when he was about 5 weeks old.

    4. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone?
    I'd rather sleep in a bed with Mal. When he's away on business I usually have a bad night's sleep. It's the whole feeling protected thing I think.

    5. Do you believe in ghosts?
    Yeah. Think I might have seen one once. It was friendly.

    6. Do you consider yourself creative?
    Yes! I can sew, knit, sing, play instruments, cook, bake, write... I'd happily give up work and be flaky (motherhood is just a convenient excuse!)

    7. Do you think O.J. killed his wife?
    Beyond reasonable doubt, no. On balance of probability, yes.

    8. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?
    Jennifer Aniston. She's a bit more realistic (i.e. Not a skellington)

    9. Do you stay friends with your ex?
    I think there is only one I don't speak to still. He virtually stalked me for a while. Hell, I'm married to one of my exes, lol.

    10. Do you know how to play poker?
    Sort of.

    11. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight?
    Erm... Almost. When Mal Jr was on his way here... I was awake from 5am Thursday to 11pm Friday. That's 42 hours... I think that's the longest.

    12. What's your favorite commercial?
    The tap-dancing grouse.

    13. What are you allergic to?
    Erithromycin and Cats.

    14. If you're driving in the middle of the night, and no one is around do you run red lights?
    Nope.

    15. Do you have a secret that no one knows but you?
    No. I am rubbish at keeping secrets.

    16. Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees?
    Red Sox only because my brother lives in Boston.

    17. Have you ever been Ice Skating?
    Yes - I'm not too bad either.

    18. How often do you remember your dreams?
    Whenever I have one that I remember.... that's a bit of a circular question

    19. When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried?
    When a friend told me that her 3-year old son had said "for fuck's sake shut up Barney you bastard dinosaur" one morning.

    20. Can you name 5 songs by The Beatles?
    Yeah, course I can. Help, Lovely Rita, Ticket To Ride, Yellow Submarine, Yesterday.

    21. What's the one thing on your mind now?
    Please go to sleep, baby. I could really do with some sleep myself...

    22. Name 5 things you did today?
    Walked to town, walked home, went shopping with a friend, did some sewing, gave the dog a hug.

    23. Do you always wear your seat belt?
    Yes, people who don't tend to die quite a lot in accidents. I want to live.

    24. What mobile service do you use?
    The red one.

    25. Do you like Sushi?
    yes, and I can eat it left-handed while feeding a baby

    26. Have you ever narrowly avoided a fatal accident?
    Yes - front seat passenger in rolled car. Dad driving, fence post came in through windscreen narrowly missing my face.

    27. What do you wear to bed?
    PJs. Nice ones.

    28. Been caught stealing?
    Yes. Stealing condensed milk from the tin my mother occasionally had in the fridge at home. I found out that my brother was also stealing it but never used to get caught, I always got the blame! Git!

    I have a variety of shoe sizes - 6, 6.5, 7, 39, 39.5, 40.

    30. Do you truly hate anyone?

    39. Have you ever stood up for someone you hardly knew?
    Probably.

    40. Have you anything else to add to this meme?
    Daddy or chips?

  • Another year begins.

    And how totally different it will be! I'm writing this as Mal takes the Christmas tree down, Buddy is at the top of the stairs (views all boxes as open coffins- there's a cardboard box that the tree will be packed into) and Mal Jr is on the floor in his playgym.

    I've had a lovely 2 weeks of Christmas and New Year. Mal has been off work all this time and I will really miss him when he goes back.

    My goals for 2009 are:

    To feed Mal Jr until 6 months so then I can train to be a Breastfeeding Counsellor.
    To do small crafty-style things and put them on ebay to make some cash.
    To get the house in order (dishwasher out of the dining room and plumbed in where it should be!)
    To help Buddy to be a little less nervous
    To become a better photographer
    To lose the baby-lard. Around about 2 stone would be ideal. I don't want to be skinny, just the size I was before Mal Jr occupied parts of me.

    I think that's enough to be getting on with now.

    Happy New Year!
