Be Afraid, Be Very Afraid. She's Listing Again....

So sorry that you can not see the lovely Vera Wang original I am wearing in this photo...it was magnifique'!

Another list from our Gretchen...and you all know how much I love lists. I realize how much you have to beg me to do one...I so seldom do. I know you are all out there pleading with me to finally do a list! Okay, so you are actually pleading with me to STOP doing lists but I hear what I want to hear. Hmpf. 1. Where is your mobile phone? I do believe it is in my purse...at least I think so. Hmm...let's look. Yup. There it is. On the counter. Not the purse. Thanks for the heads up! 2. Relationship? Well, thank you for asking but I must tell you I am married to a pretty nice guy. It was sweet of you to ask though...oh. Not what you meant huh...um...sorry. 3. Your hair? Spiky, blond, won't hold a curl with new gray strands popping in everyday! How can that be? I am only a child! Really! 4. Work? Why yes...laundry, dust, garden, weed the yard, iron, clean the bathroom, sweep out the garage, decorate, vacuum, cook, clean the kitchen, do the dishes, wash the car, volunteer at several places, drive my nephew from pre-school to his sitters every day, pick up Grace at school every day, help with homework, help my Mom with errands, walk the dog...huh? Oh..you were asking about ME, not Bill...okay. Me? Work? Nah...I am only a stay at home Mom. We just lounge around and eat bon bons and blog all day. OH puleeze, you do not believe that now do you? I really don't LIKE bon bons...I much prefer chips and salsa when I lounge. 5. Your sister(s)? Are you trying to tell me something? Hmm...I don't think I have a sister. I have Lisa, my very sweet, very pretty sister *in law*...does that count? I have a brother that is pretty good looking and manly like...he can't be confused with a sister can he? Oh, I am so confused... 6. Your favorite thing? Of all??? Now, how can I possibly choose one thing? Impossible. So many to choose from...raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens. Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens. And pedicures. I think that Rodgers and Hammerstein forgot to add pedicures. Silly men. 7. Your dream last night? Bill had bought an old house and was trying to remodel it on his own. On second thought, this was no dream, this was a NIGHTMARE!!! Then I was at the Oscars with Brian Dennehy in a stunning Vera Wang. Bill wanted to come but he was remodeling... 8. Your favorite drink? Coca Cola over crushed ice. 9. Your dream car? I really don't have a dream car I guess...but if I could, I would have a small SUV now. In blue. With satellite radio. Designed by Vera Wang. 10. The room you’re in? Kitchen. I wish I could say bathroom, in my claw foot tub surrounded by bubbles. But I do not have a claw foot tub or bubbles...and I am in the kitchen. I know. Boring. 11. Your shoes? Shoes? I am supposed to be wearing shoes? Is this a formal list? No shoes, no list service? 12. Your fears? Fire...yup. I spent too many years with my Dad as a fire fighter. I am afraid of a fire in my home. Terrifies me. And yes, we do have one of those ladders that hides under the bed. Dan has it upstairs and knows how to get himself and his sister out. Me? I will jump out and bounce... 13. What do you want to be in 10 years? Retired from all my lounging and chips and salsa eating. It is so wearing. Nah...I just want to be a highly acclaimed character actress with 2 Oscars. Or, living here at Rabbit Run with Bill and Grace, entertaining my son and his wife and their 2.3 children. Kids love to polish Oscars... 14. Who did you hang out with this weekend? The whole family and my buddy T. 15. What are you not good at? Here we go again...taunting me about Math. Okay, rub it in. I am lousy at Math. I need my fingers to count to 5. Or 10. Add the toes if you go any higher. 16. Muffin? She was one of the sweetest doggies. My parents found her on their porch one rainy morning...she moved in and lived with my family for years. The best disposition in the world and so loving. I still miss her. Okay, I know you meant to eat but that is what came into my head! 17. Wish list items? I want to hear my nephew Brady talk! I want world peace desperately. I want Brian Dennehy to win another major award..he can even have one of my Oscars. I want Bill to be safe when he runs his 4th Air Force Marathon next Saturday. I want Bill and I to celebrate our 82nd wedding anniversary. I want my kids and their families there with us when we do. I want a pedicure. My needs are simple and few. Oscars for everyone! 18. Where you grew up? Dayton, Ohio 19. The last thing you did? Turned on the lap top and began to type...well, you said the LAST thing didn't you? 20. What are you wearing? Sweats and a T shirt. 21. What are you not wearing? My Vera Wang gown. 22. Your pet? 1 doggie, 2 kitties and one husband. 23. Your computer? Lap top, hand me down from my son, fun. 24. Your life? Busy, rich, full and happy & silly, most of the time. 25. Your mood? Calm and serene...it is quiet and just about bed time when I will don my Vera Wang jammies. 26. Missing? Half of my hearing in one ear, my youthful figure and any real semblance of propriety. 27. What are you thinking about? Whether I should have some chips and salsa before bed...I may lounge while I eat them. Lounge before bed...it is what all the SAHMommies like to do don'tcha know. 28. Your car? Odyssey Van. NOT designed by Vera Wang. 29. Your kitchen? Clean, with the aroma of home made pizza lingering. 30. Your summer? Vanished in a cloudburst of rain and a sweet Northern wind. 31. Your favorite color? Blue, blue, blue and blue. And periwinkle blue. 32. Last time you laughed? About 5 minutes ago when I read the comment our Kari left on my blog! She is a hoot. 33. Last time you cried? Today, watching how happy my nephew was to see Thomas...I am a huge lump of marshmallow. 34. School? K-17. Grace refers to college and after this way...what grade was that? Oh, I was in 15th grade. 35. Love? God,my husband, my family, my pets, my friends, my home, traveling, Brian Dennehy and pedicures. Oh yes, and that Vera Wang gown I wore at the Oscars...
