I got tagged with a meme from Steph. I heart meme’s. And this one has a special twist. See, I was tagged, which means I have to participate, but you don’t need to be tagged to participate per se. You can just leave a comment that says you want to play and then you can play too! I was confused at first because it’s not your typical meme where everyone answers the same questions. Instead, I get to make up the questions I want to ask you and then email them to you. See? Fun! Personal! Confusing as all hell. But just trust me.

So, Steph tagged and Steph sent me questions at 7:30 this morning. And since Microsoft severely f-d my computer today with their massive update release, I couldn’t get online until 1:30. Once I did get online there was all this like, work I had to do. So, here I am. Just now getting to the questions at 11:00 at night when the work has finally ceased. I think. Until something else breaks.

Let’s just shut-up and get to it, shall we?

1. If you could be a pair of jeans, what brand would you be?
I’d be my own special Pocklock brand. Let me tell you exactly how I’d fit. I would fit loosely in the waist, but not too loose where you’d have to wear a belt. Just loose enough to hang on hip bones. I’d have room in the seat and legs so that I looked a little baggy, but not baggy in a bad way where it actually looks like you’re adding inches. I would have a wide-ish leg opening. Not bell bottom, but bigger than boot-cut. The bottoms of the cuffs would be slightly frayed and worn as would the pockets. I would be soft and comfortable and feel like sweatpants, but look like awesome jeans.

2. If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Oh my God. I get bored so quickly! I’m always open to trying all different kinds of food so that I don’t get bored. And I go through phases of favorites! So one for the rest of my life? This is hard! I’m thinking that it would have to be something that would be somewhat healthy, but also taste awesome. That eliminates popcorn because there’s absolutely no nutritional value. It also eliminates apples because there’s nothing fun about an apple (unless it’s smothered in peanut butter). So I’m going with Guacamole. Avocado’s have protein and fat (the good kind of fat) and they taste awesome. Guac it is.

3. Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
Ten years. Wow. Well, I thought about this one a lot today. And I’ve come up with three potential scenarios. I hate doing this because I’m all about living in the moment and being all for today, one day at a time, etc. Planning that far in the future can be a big let down so I just focus on the present. Life’s too short. BUT since we’re just playing a game here, I did some thinking and this is what I’ve come up with.

Scenario 1: I still have my awesome husband and awesome career, but we expanded our family to include a couple (two…tree) awesome kids. I stay busy being a working Mom; commuting, taking kids to dance rehearsals and/or baseball practice, and spending the weekends watching their games and entertaining their neighborhood friends. In this scenario, we’ve stayed in the same town we live in now, but moved to a neighborhood with bigger houses, a cul de sac and plenty of neighborhood kids.

Scenario 2: I decided to give up the career and be a full time Mom. But since I can’t just sit still and be a Mom once the kids get old enough, I’m all over involved with everything; PTA, committees and town politics. Oh, and instead of standing by and watching the kids play in their sports games, I’m coaching.

Scenario 3: In this scenario we’ve moved to a new city. Some incredible opportunity presented itself and we moved. It’s weird, but my brain won’t develop much more past that. I think we just sort of start over in a new city and get acclimated to the people and the way of life somewhere other than Connecticut.

4. Who is more annoying, George Bush or Paris Hilton? Why?
They’re both annoying for the same exact reasons. They’re both idiots. But since I have to pick one, I’d have to say George. At least Paris can’t do major damage with her stupidity. Bush can, already has, and is bound to do more.

5. What is your favorite childhood memory?
I have so many and I frequently write about them. I think topping my list of favorites was snow days. My Mom, being a teacher, had the day off too and it was so cool for me to be able to hang out with her. Since she worked and I had school all week and on the weekends I was with my Dad, it was rare that we got to spend a whole day together. She always washed the curtains on snow days. And she always make Steph and I hot cocoa for when we came in soaking wet from climbing through the bramble bushes in the woods behind my house or from sledding down the hill at mock speeds. I loved snow days. And it really was for other reasons besides just missing school.

So that’s it! A meme! You guys still there? Hello? Wake up! It’s your turn!

I’m tagging Dee, Anne, and Dizzle. Make sure I have your emails so I can send you your questions. And if you don’t have a blog and you still want to play, tell me and I’ll hand over Pocklock for a day of guest posts. I’m just that nice, people.

Sometimes.
