Anyway, I'm not sure what I want to write tonight - only that I just want to talk. I've been deprived of real adult conversation for most of the afternoon and evening. I know that many of you are aware that I truly enjoy my personal space and quiet time when Tommy works late and that I generally like having a few evenings a week to myself. Having said that, he has worked such ridiculous hours this last week and a half that I actually miss having him around in the evenings. I'm counting on a nice family weekend to help us all reconnect after what will have been 2 very busy weeks.
So I guess the point of this blog is just to "talk" for a few minutes. I started to write up a whole thing about our weekend and how crazy it was, but that was boring even me so I deleted it. Instead I found a little survey to fill out and keep me busy. Before I fill this out, let me make a small public service announcement. I clipped off the portions of the survey that asked for my full name, birthdate, birth place, etc. Please be cautious about posting all of that information anywhere. Often those surveys can be used by unsavory types who might want to steal your identity. Just a friendly suggestion :-)
So, without further adieu, here are some things you might not know about me!
| How many & what kind of pets do you have? | We have a yorkie-poo named Ringo. He's very sweet and a wonderful watch dog for our family. |

| Either / Or | |
| Shy or Outgoing? | Have we met? Outgoing |
| Spender or Saver? | I'm pretty cheap but have a hard time saying no to Tommy or the girls so I'm a saver when it comes to me and a spender when it comes to them. |
| Truth or Dare? | Truth. I'm a pretty open book. |
| Books or Movies? | Both. Depending on the day. |
| Romantic Comedy or Action Adventure? | Neither is my favorite but if I had to choose I guess it'd be romantic comedy. |

| -----What would you name a boy? | I liked the name Anthony but never got to use it. |
| -----What would you name a girl? | If I could have picked another name I loved the combination of Katherine Elizabeth. So many potential nicknames! |
