A few things. Or more than that.
Believe it or not, I posted the whopping seven photos I took in Italy! I know, how will you ever find the time to look at them all? Um…please don’t infer too much from the fact that all but one of them is a picture of the winery we visited. It doesn’t mean anything! I swear!
I need a bit of help. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to 1) add an “email me” link to my site, or 2) add a new notify list. I’m running on Wordpress but hosting on my own server (I’m not sure I said that right…did I say that right?) and I’ve gone through the forums but I can’t find anything that is exactly what I want. At one point, Slick made a valiant effort to solve my “email me” problem but I couldn’t figure out how to make it work. Anyway, I am not picky, any advice from ANYONE is welcome. Unless you are a spammer. Then I just want you to go away.
Robyn had this meme on her site the other day and I really liked it, so I stole it and modified it a bit (i.e. took out the questions I didn’t feel like answering) for your reading pleasure. I was planning on hanging on to it a bit longer, but I didn’t know where to put it without it getting in the way, so I made it a draft post, and now every time I log in it says at the top of the page in a big blue box YOUR DRAFTS: blah blah blah blah. This was somehow annoying to me, so.
1. What bill do you hate paying the most? Our cell phone bill. German cell phones are freaking expensive. We don’t even use ours, EVER, and it costs us almost $150 a month. Annoying.2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner? As in, a dinner out, without the kids? HA! Um…probably for my birthday, in California.
3. Last time you puked from drinking? Hmm…while I was very hungover on Saturday, I didn’t puke. So…it has to have been Korea. Last September sounds good.
4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced on a bar? September 2004, Coyote Ugly, San Antonio.
5. Name of your first grade teacher? Mrs. Bruncke. I loved her.
6. What do you really want to be doing right now? Having a glass of wine in a warm, tropical environment.
7. What did you want to be when you were growing up? A flight attendant.
8. How many colleges did you attend? I’m taking classes through University of Maryland right now.
9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now? I didn’t choose it. It’s part of the uniform I have to wear–black t-shirt.
10. GAS PRICES??? We pay by the litre here, and I have yet to figure out the conversion to gallons, so while I’m sure it’s horribly expensive, I just see 1.67 and think, awesome!
11. Where would you move if you could move anywhere? Home.
12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning? “4:45? godddd…….”

26. Beach or lake? Lake.
27. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual? You know…I myself am happily married, but yeah, I do think marriage is pretty outdated. Mainly because I don’t think a ring=true love forever.

36. Movies or Documentaries? Movies.
37. The Cosby Show or the Simpsons? The Simpsons.
38. Worst relationship mistake that you wish you could take back? Eh. Taking stuff back doesn’t make it not have happened.
39. Do you like the person who sits directly across from you at work? I face the refrigerator. I like it.
40. If you could get away with it, who would you kill? I can’t say there is anyone I for reals want to kill.

46. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth? This is random. Um, I guess in a tent in Kuwait, with no running water.
47. Somewhere in California you’ve never been and would like to go? The Redwood Forest. I went when I was wee but I don’t remember it.
48. Do you go to church? Nope.
49. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationships? Career. Oh god, every DAY I wish I could start a new career.

10) Just ask google! Search for “1 gallon in liters” and it’ll tell you it’s 3.7854118. That means you’re paying…$6.32 a gallon! zOMG!
42) So then I must ask, Pam or Karen? For Jim, not yourself. Or you could answer for yourself if you wanted.
Good luck with the midterm.

An email link?
like a “mail to:” command?
or more elaborate?
I might be able to assist…maybe…I can’t make promises but I know a thing or two…sometimes.

Aww, Patrick Starfish - that’s my husband’s favorite, too. Sorry I can’t make the tropical location part come true, but in 50 days I can make the sipping wine part come true, and I have some awesome wine in my rack right now, so come on down. And there are two (count ‘em, two) Cold Stone stores within 5 miles of my house. Yeah, I know - I rock. Why haven’t you come sooner?

Greg - Oh, there can be nobody BUT Pam.
Sir Jorge - Yes! A “mail to:”! That’s exactly what I want.
Kario - I don’t know! Oh wait…because I didn’t know where you lived! Isn’t that so dumb?

I almost love the sipping wine, playing cards and watching a movie best too…
If it weren’t for having sex it would be right up there…
Glad the Italian men let you go back…
Sometimes they don’t…
