Panduh!

Caity tagged me in one of those meme things again, so I figured that would be a cue to come out of hiding. So here goes.

Rules

1. Post these rules.
2. You must post 11 ran­dom thoughts about yourself.
3. Answer the ques­tions the tag­ger set for you in their post.
4. Create 11 new ques­tions for the peo­ple you tag to answer.
5. Go to their blog and tell them you have tagged them.
6. No stuff in the tag­ging sec­tion about ‘you are tagged if you are read­ing this.’ blah, blah, blah, you legit­i­mately have to tag 11 peo­ple. I’m not going to tag anyone, but whoever wants to do this can.

11 Random Thoughts (more like 11 random complaints)

1. I am coming down with the flu and it really sucks. I really just want to lay down right now.

2. I was supposed to go down to SC this week, but being sick kinda interrupted those plans. Next week, next week.

3. I haven’t used my DSLR camera in over a week! I’ve pretty much relied on my iPhone for my daily pictures.

4. It bothers me that I have to start all of these thoughts with ‘I’, except this one, of course.

5. I love my puppies. They are just so cute and cuddly.

6. I’m extremely excited for spring and consistent warmer weather.

7. I’m planning another day trip to NYC in a few weeks. Not sure what I’m going to be doing while I’m there, but that isn’t really important.

8. I’m really addicted to making flatbread pizzas. They are so easy & delicious.

9. I’m not quite sure where February went.

10. Socks. I hate them.

11. My desk seems to always clutter up no matter how often I clean it.

Questions from Caity

1. If you had to give up one of your 5 senses what would you be able to live without?

I would be ok without my sense of smell, I think. The world kinda stinks.

2. Do you have a running list of things you want to fix or improve around your house? What are the top-three home-improvement projects on your to-do list?

I do have a list! 1] Paint rooms the remaining rooms. 2] Fix up the bathroom so its not so old looking. 3] Clean the carpets (waiting on Ziggy to be 100% potty trained).

3. How would you rate your skills in the kitchen? What’s the last thing you made?

On a scale from 1-10 I would probably rate my kitchen skills as a 9. Last Monday I made flatbread pizzas for me and James. They are so easy and delicious. Here are the ones I usually make: here & here.

4. What was your favorite activity at the playground when you were a kid?

Sandbox & Monkey bars!

5. Which are your favorite sites for shopping online?

I try to avoid shopping online, but recently, I am in love with Fab.com & Etsy.

6. Do you have any scars? Are there any interesting stories behind them?

No, I don’t really have any scars, other than minor ones from being a klutz.

7. What would you do if you could live as the member of the opposite sex for a day?

Hehe. Not telling.

8. What is the worst insult someone could give you and why?

I think calling someone stupid is terrible, even if it may seem petty. I don’t think anyone is stupid. Everyone is smart in their own way.

9. If you could only have one fast food chain in the world what would it be?

Chipotle.

10. Have you experienced a dream that affected your approach to a real life situation?

I don’t think so. I’ve had some really crazy, vivid dreams which sometimes cause me to feel weird when I wake up. That’s about it, though.

11 Questions:

1. What is one of your favorite memories from childhood?

2. Has there ever been a piece of music that has moved you or held a significant meaning?

3. If you could be any animal for one day, what would it be and why?

4. What did you want to be when you wanted to grow up? Did you accomplish that?

5. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

6. What is the first thing that goes through your brain when you first wake up each day?

That was, indeed, fun and amusing. xD I tag anyone who stumbles upon this and wants to participate in a fun little meme.

Caity, posted a Handwriting Meme and I just had to participate. I just love writing, no matter what it is. My handwriting has changed a lot over the years, but I think it has been the same for the past few years, so maybe it’ll stay this way. I remember in high school, I tried to make my handwriting super tiny so I could fit more notes on the page. It stuck like that for awhile. When I was younger, it was really big and sloppy. The worst.

Ok, so here it is.

1. Name/Blog URL
2. Lefty/Righty/Ambidextrous
3. Letters you enjoy writing
4. Letters you dislike writing
5. Write “The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.”
6. Write CRAB, HUMOR, KALEIDOSCOPE, PAJAMAS, and GAZILLION in caps.
7. Write one of your favorite song lyrics. (I messed up here and left out some words on accident. Oops!)
8. Write who should do this.
9. Any last blurb slash note.

P.S. Its almost the weekend. I have a lot to do and I’m looking forward to it. Have any awesome plans for the weekend? Do tell. [=
