I'm so totally diggin' this!

It's Monday...

Dear Lord,

Please don't let this be another week like this:

Yes We Can.

I Usually Hate Stuff Like This...But...

Okay, so, I'm not into meme's...who really cares about some of the silly questions anyway?  But...I saw this on The Plucky Knitter and thought it wasn't too bad...it has absolutely nothing to do with craftiness...but whatevs....here it goes!

1. Childhood ambition:
To be Cher

2. Best/worst weather:
Best = huge, dark, windy storms!   Love Love LOVE me a big ol' freaky storm either snow or rain.  Worst = boring, sunny weather day in, day out.  UGH!

3. Favorite food:
I don't really have a favorite food...it all depends upon my stress and hormone level...
Stressful times = favorite food is anything that isn't nailed down to the floor.
Hormones through the roof = anything chocolate AND anything with carbs...comfort food galore, please!

4. Current book?
How embarrassing...I'm not reading anything at the moment.  I usually have a book I'm working on but, at the moment, it nada!

5. Guilty pleasure:
Reality TV...oh the horror of it all!  I'm addicted to ANYTHING deemed "reality tv"...oh the sadness of it all!

6. One quirk?
Just one?  I'm terrified to go into my attic or the crawl space underneath my house...have lived here for 4 years and have never completely gone into either.

7. Something you’ve never done that most people have:
Played pool.

8. Favorite drink?
Without question, my most favorite drink EVER is Diet Coke...I'm addicted.

9. Oddest job you’ve had:
When I was right out of college, my first job was repairing copiers.  It was the dirtiest, nastiest job EVER!

10. Last song you listened to on purpose:
Pink by Aerosmith

11. Cities, towns, villages you’ve lived in, in chronological order:
WV
Richmond
Washington, DC
Richmond

12. Teenage ambition:
To be Cher...hey, I think I STILL want to be Cher.

13. Movie you’d most like to be a character in:
I love old movies so I'd have to say that I'd love to play a character in anything Bette Davis was in.  Love love LOVE Bette Davis.  Probably one of my most favorite movies is Sweet Baby Jane.  Would love to be in that one as long as Bette still had the lead role.

Goals For The Week

Well, it's Monday...it's actually a rare good-Monday in that I have the day off from work.  Hallelujah!  How wonderful is that?!?  I've got so much to get done, though, that a day off only prolongs the misery.  Here's a look at just a few of things I hope to get done at home this week...

1. Laundry - washed, folded and put away by Monday afternoon
2. Grocery shopping - Monday
3. Pay bills...least favorite thing in the world to do - Monday
4. Vaccuum the house...in other words, terrify the cats - Monday
5. Dust furniture...everything...dust it within an inch of it's life - Monday
6. Schedule yard-guy to come over and prune my Crape (is it crape or crepe???) Myrtles...or research how to do it myself - Tuesday
7. Schedule gutter cleaning - Tuesday
8. Clean out bedroom closet...MUST. DO. THIS. NOW. - Should do this on Monday but I know that I won't.
9. Start working on taxes. - No later than Friday.
10. Schedule vet appointment to get shots for all of my cats...yes, "all" as in all 12...don't ask...it's a long story - No later than Friday

Notice there's no "work on super-cool knitting or crochet projects" on the list.  And, notice this list does not include all the work-crap, as in professional crap, I have to do this week...SIGH...I will get this all done...I will get professional, home and craft crap done this week if it's the last thing I do.
