Stolen Meme (or maybe its just borrowed)

A Meme. Swiped from Maria, at Just Eat Your Cupcake who apparently "borrowed" it from someplace else. Because I am too lazy today to come up with anything original. Its Sunday, so give me a break! Maria's link SHOULD read: Just Eat Your Cupcake, but for some unknown reason the link text won't show up. Click on the blank space and you can access her blog. I think it has something to do with the temporary template I am using. I really need to find a permanent one.

Meme:

1) My ex: is non-existent. I married my high school sweetheart.

2) Maybe I should: just hire a cleaning service to come in and get the spring cleaning done. I am too busy, have way too much going on to have the time or energy to get the house as clean as I would like it. I don't like someone I don't know all up in here in my personal space, but maybe I need to get over that...?

3) I love: Friday nights. Even if there is nothing special going on, there is the glorious feeling that I have a whole weekend full of possibilities stretching out before me.

4) People would say that I am: random....maybe? Conflicted more likely. I am a people person who likes extreme privacy. A dog-lover who prefers cats. A gardener who can't stand to get her hands dirty. A night owl who loves mornings. Oh hell, I can't even figure myself out, so how could anyone else know what to call me????

5) I don't understand why anyone would: consider violence a solution to anything.

6) When I wake up in the morning: I reach for a cup of coffee. Believe me, there had BETTER be coffee. With that, I can face just about anything.

7) I lost: my Mom 5 years ago, and it still hurts. I try not to show it, but sometimes (like this upcoming Mother's Day when we will have commercialism shoved down our throats non-stop for at least a month) it hurts a whole lot.

8) Life is full of: change. Just when you get used to something, everything turns upside down again. You have to learn to roll with the tide if you want to survive.

9) My past is full of: good memories. I try hard to live without regret, so I really wouldn't change a thing about it.

10) I get annoyed by people who: drive too slowly. People who wait until their purchases are totaled before they start to rummage around in their bag for a wallet/check book. Slow people in general.

11) Parties are: fun IF I am in the mood. Otherwise, forget it.

12) I wish life was not so: full of work/chores/errands and I had more time for fun.

13) Dogs are: cool, fun, but terribly time-consuming and labor intensive.

14) Cats are: the secret rulers of the universe.

15) Tomorrow is: another one of those dreaded Mondays. Mondays are the most hectic day of the week at work, and I always breathe a sigh of relief when I am done and moving on to another day. I wish we could somehow just skip Monday from the weekly calendar altogether.

16) I have a low tolerance for: Rudeness. Politeness, even in the face of conflict, shows good breeding as far as I am concerned.

17) If I had a million dollars I would: I don't know. A million dollars doesn't go all that far nowadays. I might pay off a few things, share some with our kids, take a couple of killer vacations. I don't think I could realistically retire. Now 5 million...that's a whole different story.

18) I'm totally terrified of dying: in some kind of painful way. Like a tragic accident. Actually I am much more afraid of pain than I am of dying. I don't want to die, but I don't really fear it or waste an inordinate amount of time worrying about it.

!9) My partner is: my best friend. The only person in the world who can put up with my insanity. Who shares my love of animals. Who would actually buy me a couple of goats on a whim. You gotta love that!

20) My life is not: exactly like I imagined it might be when I was 16 years old. But I am damned lucky, and I know it. Besides, I can't even carry a tune, so my rock-star dream was destined to die anyways.
