Memes, all sorts

"Current" Meme, stolen from Sara/rainingkisses

Current Playlist: the Beatles, Thrice, the "new soundtrack" for the Nightmare Before Christmas, (featuring all the songs done by Evanescence, Fall Out Boy, Marilyn Manson, etc...I am so sick to death of this but the kids are addicted to it every October), and the live stream of AncientFaithRadio.com

Current Guilty Pleasure: the internet. I so do not have time for this.

Current Colour: dark gray, with bloody bright red

Current Drink: Water.

Current Food: liberte yoghourt with 6 grains - pear. My last big thing was Starbucks' "farmer's market salad". Before that it was kale and bean soup. I am eating far too much of one good thing until I hate it most of the time lately.

Current Favourite Show: The Office. It's basically the only show, until Lost comes back on.

Current Wishlist: H20 by Howard Schatz; Knitting Art: 150 Innovative Works From 18 Contemporary Artists; Animal, Vegetable, Miracle; Lives of the Saints . Also a dayplanner and a pumpkin mug I saw at Starbucks.

Current Needs: a lot of Grace. Just to stay afloat.

Current Triumphs: weight loss, general amount of things being accomplished in a day around here, and finally working out ways to do good things for my brother and for Robby

Current Bane of My Existence: Grant's work schedule

Current Celebrity Crush: As if. My last two something-like-a-crushes were, well, Professor Snape and Bram Stoker's Dracula (the Gary Oldman version), so yeah, and those were like...years ago and many more years ago. I don't really do "actual" guys, excepting Grant. Mostly it goes like Johnny Cash said...I keep a close watch on this heart of mine/I keep my eyes wide open all the time/I keep the ends up on the tie that binds/because you're mine, I walk the line

Current Indulgence: TONS and TONS of craft materials. I spent...well I'm not sure I want to say how much I spent at Joann's yesterday. But by golly it was over $200, and I am swimming in potential now ;) I'm also what the french call, "Le Dead Meat".

Current Blessing: Gloria, our old nanny and current friend, came over and hung out with the kids for 4 hours today so Grant and I could go together to pick up those loft beds. Which are also a great blessing.

Current Slang: I keep catching myself saying "Whatevs"...and "Jumping Jahoosaphet". I am really not sure how you spell that. I also say fuck a lot in real life.

Current Outfit: dark wash, fitted maternity jeans and a dark gray Halloween shirt I got for $5 at Target. It has bats on it. With a red stone and silver cross necklace and a lot of chipped red nail polish. I'm also sporting a big red scab on one side of my nose, *suggestive eyebrow wiggling*

Current Excitement: the kids' Halloween costumes. They're coming out really good. Aaron wore his finished one to his company dance party this evening - he's an ant. They're all bugs this year. Butterfly, ant, caterpillar, bumblebee and ladybug, in descending age order. This is why I had to go to Joanns to begin with, I just got...carried away.
I am also vastly excited about DAMA AND THE GIRLS ARRIVING IN FOUR DAYS, though that is currently somewhat dampened by a sort of panic of how to get their room ready and this house and yard visitor-prepped in time.

"Halloween" Meme, made up by me as I drove around on stupid errands all evening

What is something you were scared of as a kid, that you don't think is scary anymore? Clowns.

What would someone have to dress up in to really make you shudder, now? Surgical scrubs.

That's as far as I got.
