joyeuse13. As Joy did, I won't tag anyone.
Make a list of things you can see without getting up:
Clutter... purple cow, cellphone, weather radio, rocking horse.
What were you like when you were five?
Awkward and bookish.
What are you wearing now?
Nightgown, clogs
What story/book/novel have you read over and over again in your life?
Oh there are SO many. There's a reason I have books in every room and two rooms devoted to them.
What’s the last thing you read/are currently reading?
The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer.
Do you nap a lot?
More than I used to - often in the morning after Maggie's off to school but before I need to get Jamie to school.
Who was the last person you hugged?
My daughter Maggie.
What’s your current fandom/obsession/addiction?
World of Warcraft
What was the last thing you ate today?
I haven't eaten yet.
What was the last thing you said aloud?
"Scurry to get to the bus! Have a good day, dear!"
What websites do you always visit when you go online?
Gmail, Livejournal, Wowinsider.
What was the last thing you bought?
Kid school valentines for Jamie. (*rolls eyes*)
What are you listening to right now?
The wind whistling outside.
If you could have any super power, what would it be?
Teleportation sounds pretty good to me too. Hm. I might pick ... body manipulation over that. To be able to fix my plantar fascitis, fix chronic health problems in other people I know, that sort of thing.
What is your favorite weather, and why?
Spring, light breeze, mostly sunny but with fluffy white clouds here and there.
What time do you usually get up?
6 am.
What is your most challenging goal right now?
Housecleaning
Say something to the person who tagged you:
Z has grown so much, and you two look so adorable!
If you could have a house–-totally paid for, fully furnished–-anywhere in the world, where would you want it to be?
Right here in Texas would be good. Probably out in the country a bit north of here, in the pretty rolling hills area with a stream, in with all those horse properties.
Favorite vacation spot?
Wales
What is your favorite children’s book?
But Not the Hippopotamus
Name one thing you just can’t resist no matter how bad it is for you:
Chocolate. (I don't even need to change Joy's answer!)
Name a pet peeve.
The school keeps sending home tons of papers the kids have done, drawings, and such, and I know I'm supposed to proudly keep all these and display them or something, but darn it there's too much clutter and mess already, so I just throw them away, but I hate feeling bad about it.
What was your first job?
Office assistant for some sort of technical sales company in Morristown, NJ.
What do you love to do?
Read, gaming with my partners, spending time with the family. Goodness, happiness sounds dull from the outside.
Which Beatle?
Actually, it's the gestalt of them that was the most interesting IMO.
What's your favorite color?
Purple.
What's your favorite drink?
Really good unsweetened iced tea.

Date: 2009-02-12 08:15 am (UTC)On the kids' school paper overflow I offer our family solution. We take pictures of them, which the kids use as wallpapers on their computers, and then the actual drawings are used as wrapping paper for gifts at birthdays and xmas - they feel very proud of it all over again that way!
