Aw crap, Bonanza tagged me the other day. I’ve got to tell you that I have mixed feelings on the whole thing. After all, this is the second time she’s tagged me and I can only assume she either likes me or really hates me. ;o)

Either way, I’m cool with it because other than obsessing over the house or complaining about my stress over the house or complaining about FSBO’ing the old house… I’m dried up, I’ve got nothing but a pathetic diatribe over why I compulsively read the movie spoiler website.

So… like me or hate me… thanks Bonanza, you probably saved my rear. Just so you know, in my “positive thoughts and prayers for other people” moments I often think of you and sincerely wish that the universe will render Dutch Oven odorless. Hope it works.

Now, I admit that I have not been my usual chatty self lately, but I promise that I do lurk about my usual blogs even if I don’t actually comment. Sometimes, I just don’t want to bore the blog owner and other times I just can’t think of anything to say at all.

That said, I have to thank a few people who have been kind enough to write interesting things that actually take me out of my own head for a while. Loads of thanks to: Zube, Bonanza, MrsFortune, CrazyLady, Marti, 3T, Chickie and Kentucky Girl.

Now, on with the Meme (I have no clue how to pronounce that… in my head it’s always “meem” just like even though I KNOW that Zube is actually ZuBEE, I still just think of it as Zube rhyming with rube) I’m supposed to tell you 6 things that no one else knows about me, but since Mike (like Bonanza’s Dutch Oven) knows EVERYTHING about me whether he likes to or not, I’m going to have to pretend that he doesn’t exist.

Here goes:

1.) I hate returning things, anything, even if it doesn’t fit, match or is broken. I will THROW it AWAY or stuff it in a closet somewhere before I’ll return it. I don’t have the patience to stand at customer service and wait forever to deal with a dimbulb who has to talk to 6 different supervisors before she can give me my refund.

Mike, on the other hand, will stand in line to return something for a $2.00 refund. He is the household “returner.” In fact, he once orchestrated a double purchase and single return to thwart a bogus return policy and get the better sale price because he only wanted ONE of the items, but wanted the better price. Don’t ask me how it worked because, quite frankly, I didn’t understand it and he would have to explain it anyway.

2.) I’ve been a mom since I was 15. Although, many of you with the ability to do basic math have probably already figured this one out. It’s a long sordid story and part of my very strange past that I pretty much choose to pretend doesn’t exist.

3.) I have a very nasty temper. Although, I honestly have learned to keep it in check. My mom used to tell me I had a razor blade for a tongue (or something very much like that anyway). It typically only rears its’ ugly head when I am listening to right-wing morons who proclaim themselves to be “christian” and then act anything but. Well, that’s ONE of the things that sets it off in full force.

4.) I had planned to be an attorney. I even took pre-law courses… then life happened.

5.) I hate going to the post office or DMV. In fact, I will do absolutely almost anything to avoid doing either. 99% of my household business is done online.

6.) I’ve been told I’m a great mom and that I have wonderful kids. I do think I have wonderful kids but I have doubts as to my parenting abilities. I figure if these kids turn out to be awesome adults and productive members of society then they should be given 90% of the credit and I’ll take 10% for keeping them alive, fed, clothed and sheltered. ;o)

*sigh* well, there’s another meme finished. One day I might do a some sort of meme collection or category on here, that might be interesting.

Ok, so I’m supposed to tag some people… and today I feel obnoxious enough to do just that, so here goes:

• MrsFortune
• Chickie
• Marti
• 3T
