Oh God I've been Tagged!

Trish from the coffee house has tagged me. Ugh. 7 wonderful things about my self? Heck, I'd go for 7 mediocre things.

Before I get to that let me spew a moment.

I can't seem to do the laundry. I can wash it but it piles up on the 'laundry folding table' in monstrous heaps. One must dig for underwear each day.

So DH wants to hire a laundry gal. Why oh why am I so darn opposed to it? Is it that I fear the microscopic look into my dingy life? All pretense of perfectness (oh, excuse me, my family just died laughing) exposed? The thought of someone -- a stranger-- coming into my home and examining my laundry sends me into fits of sweat and palpatations. So what's the deal? Ugh. A friend Sarah says that allowing someone in to do it--a person who not only loves to do laundry but really needs the money--would delight in seeing that behind these doors, within these hallowed halls, chaos reigns. I think not. Don't they say that Stress ages you?

Oh, so I guess that's #1!


#2) I like it when my DH travels. Not too often. But once in a while I like to sleep with the window open (can't because of his allergies) and to not worry if I let dishes sit for a day or so... (did I mention he's a neat freak?)

3) I believe my husband is the most interesting person I've ever met. And sometimes the most aggravating.

4) I still think I'm 17. Or maybe I can't get past 17... Or maybe it's 19 -- the age I was when my mother died. But none the less I feel like I'm sometimes emotionally stunted. I dwell on the past just a wee bit too much.

5) I'm a klutz. An athletic klutz, but a klutz just the same. If there is something to trip on I will. I fell in the street on my face in 2002. Middle of the day, broad daylight. Boom. Down down down until I miraculously caught myself with my CHIN! Yup, 17 stitches on the OUTSIDE. I don't know how many on the inside. Thankfully I didn't break any teeth or my jaw.

6) I love to travel but I also love to come home. I'd like to see Iceland in the summer. I'd like to see the Greek Isles. I'd like to see New Zealand and Australia. I'd like to see..... well, you get it. But when travel is done there is nothing like my own bed.

7) I have a weird ability to remember numbers--mostly phone numbers. Sadly this does not translate into balancing a checkbook. Can't do it, wouldn't be prudent. Ick.

So, a peek into the life of the Just Prime blogger.

Ok I changed your tag on my blog roll.

Now as for your list:

#1. Yes, with you on this one...I don't like anybody except me to be rooting around in my dirty laundry/dishes/bathrooms.

#2. I like it when hub travels...only he doesn't do it NEARLY enough *did I just say that outloud??* He's a dear...really! It's just he can get on my last nerve sometimes. And it's nice not to have to discuss everything all the time.

#3. Your hub IS interesting! Don't know about the aggravating part tho' but I'll take your word for it. hehehe

#4. Oh golly! I'm kinda stuck like that too. Everytime I completed a decade I thought now I'm grown up but I don't really FEEL it, ya know?

#5. Oh hon...OUCH!

#6. I've always wanted to see Iceland too! Dunno about Aussie tho'...too much flying.

#7. Well remembering phone numbers is a pretty good skill to have! I don't do numbers of any kind.

Schwartzenegger insists the victims of the 2007 Southern California firestorm residing at Jack Murphy Stadium are happy.
First he calls Tonight Show host Jay Leno an "idiot". Then he drops this bomb.
If it were Gray Davis the gods would have their media attack him mercilessly for these mistakes. Together they may be enough to cost any other politician his career. But not Arnold Schwartzenegger.
They say he says makes suspect comments all the time, and they are all buried. And it is because they have BIG plans for him::::He is a tool who will be used to accomplish historical evil for the gods.

They say there is a sense of "unease" at the State Capital, like he doesn't belong there. It is because he doesn't. He is not American. Sadly this is an issue that is too readily discounted:::
He is not from the United States. His loyalties lie with a country that was the enemy of the United States a mere 65 years ago.
Just as we witnessed with Clinton in 1992 expect blacks to register and vote en masse for Schwartzenegger as well, a clue and a red flag.

Just as we haven't seen any more of that "Everybody is happy." idiocy from the Preditor so do we no longer hear anything of the possibility a firefighter started one if not more of these SoCal fires, buried forever.
Weight training, promotion of pharmeceuticals, desensitizing "guy flicks" all prove the name "Preditor" is warranted.
