Well, the plan was for me to stay up late and work on Jack and Daisy's room (which has to be done by next Sunday or there's going to be some serious repercussions), but Jack is playing hard to get with the sandman, so I thought I would do this meme I found on SNP's blog. But I saw that it was actually longer, and I think memes are kind of fun, so I tracked down the whole list. Here goes:
1:Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Closed, although Nick's (we each have one) has one door that refuses to stay shut unless there's a door stop in front of it. It's one of those random things that you need to fix around the house but never seem to remember when you're at the hardware store.
2:Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?
It's a pretty rare thing for us to stay at a hotel, but if we do, pretty much always. I figure that's part of what you're paying for with the room rate. I don't raid the maid's cart or anything though - I just take those that are put out for us.
3:Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
Well, the fitted sheet is tucked of course, but the top sheet is not. One a side note, I do make the bed nearly every day. I never bothered with it when we first got married, but I started doing it just as an act of respect and caring some time after we started DD. Now I do it even when Nick has to be away overnight just because I love how it feels to slide into a made up bed.

4:Have you ever stolen a street sign before?
No, but Nick took a couple in high school. In fact, they're hanging in our garage (not sure what else to do with them - it's not like you can just drop them off at the county dump).

5:Do you like to use post-it notes?
Not as much as I used to. When I worked in a call center I used them like crazy, and I was forever picking up cute ones at Target. I even made quite a bit of origami out of them, but I don't really have much need for them now. We do keep some around the house though, and I will occasionally leave one on the bathroom mirror or inside the front door for Nick to see before he leaves in the morning.
6:Do you cut out coupons but then never use them?
Sometimes. I'm not a hard core couponer by any means, but I do try to use them when I can. And I never, EVER go to the Michael's, Joann's, or Hobby Lobby without one.
7:Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?
I'd have to go with bees. I'm not allergic to bees, but I am a super lame runner, and I can't see me surviving a bear attack.

8:Do you have freckles?
Not really. My arms are a little freckled. Morgan on the other hand has quite a few and she hates them (although I think they're adorable).
9:Do you always smile for pictures?
I generally try to avoid being in pictures, but I smile for them if I can't dodge them.

10:What is your biggest pet peeve?
Super slow drivers. And people who talk on their cell phones in a public restroom. And people who take the bathroom stall right beside me when the rest of the row is free. Basically don't invade my space in the ladies room.

11:Do you ever count your steps when you walk?
I do, probably when I don't even realize I'm doing it. I'm a little OCD.

12:Have you ever peed in the woods?
A time or two when camping, but I hate it and will do almost anything to avoid it.
13:What about pooped in the woods?
Um, no.

14:Do you ever dance even if there's no music playing?
Sometimes to make Jack or Daisy laugh. Daisy has just about gotten potty training down in the last week, and I've done quite a few happy dances for her. :)

15:Do you chew your pens and pencils?
No
No
16:How many people have you slept with this week?
This week two, counting Jack. It's usually three though, because Daisy comes and crawls in bed with me and Jack after Nick and Morgan have left for work and school.
17:What size is your bed?
King, and I love it!
18:What is your Song of the week?
None really, although I can't get the theme song to Psych out of my head.

19:Is it okay for guys to wear pink?

24:What do you dip a chicken nugget in?

25:What is your favorite food?
Well, my dream birthday menu would be Chik-Fil-A chicken minis for breakfast, Jet's 8 Corner Pepperoni Pizza with Turbo Crust for lunch, and The Chop House's Prime Rib Sandwich with Spinach Maria and blackberry cobbler for dessert for dinner. And maybe a slice of Godiva chocolate cheesecake from The Cheesecake Factory thrown in there somewhere.

30:When was the last time you wrote a letter to someone on paper?
I wrote an absence excuse for Morgan to take to school a couple of weeks ago, but that probably doesn't count. I used to write Nick letters a few years ago when it was harder for me to have a face to face conversation about DD, but it's been a while since I've done that. The last letter I wrote and mailed was probably 10 years ago to my friend Ann.

36:What is your usual bedtime?
It's supposed to be no later than 2, and I'm allowed to read or play on my Kindle for a little while longer. But sometimes it depends on when I can get Jack to go down.

38:When you were a kid, what did you dress up as for Halloween?
One year a witch and one year Lucy from the Peanuts (with one of those cheesy plastic masks held on by a piece of elastic). Other than that, I don't think I got to dress up much because my parents weren't big on Halloween.

Angel Brat, thank you for your 100 Meme questions and answers. It seems the way you answered them, you tell it like it is. In my humble opinion you are a good humored spanko brat. And may the joys of life, be ever with you. Thanks for sharing. your thoughts with us.
Wow that was alot of questions to answer. The answer that made me laugh the most was the language question. I remember the days of having to interpret my baby's words to others. I was sad when she didn't have baby words anymore. I have enjoyed some of my friend's grandbabies' language though. (Like wanting to eat a "Red Monster" for Red Lobster). He thought the tank in the front had red monsters in them. God bless you and your young family, Belle L.
