Can you tell that I am desperately trying to keep busy on a day when I can’t do much?  I want to direct and help the movers, but I can’t.  All I can do is say “Hey, that’s really old, can we make sure that gets top packed please?” with a “You bettcha, yes ma’am” for a response.  Things are falling into place.  The bank we bought the house from finally got its head out of its..umm.. red tape and signed the piece of paper holding us back on the new house.  We will miss our original closing date, but not by much – so the movers are going to hold our things on the truck until we call and say “hey, load’r in, dawgs!”  (movers words, not mine. really!)

I have this scheduled to post during my blogging break so ya’ll won’t forget about me.  ;)

IN YOUR SENIOR YEAR OF HIGH SCHOOL...
1. Did you date someone from your school? Yep!  Only one, though!  ;)

2. Did you car pool to school?  With my bestest friend for junior year, and then with person from #1 above

3. What kind of car did you have?  I had whatever stray my parents dragged home.  At one point a yellow 1966 VW Truck (think camper van front with a flatbed in back), and a 1977 Oldsmobile Delta 88 that floated and sucked gas!

4. What kind of car do you have now? The Momplorer

5. Its Sunday night...where are you now? Wherelse!

6. It is Sunday night...where were you then? Hiding in my room or out with #1

7. What kind of job did you have in high school? Blockbuster Video for many years, movie theater for a short time

8. What kind of job do you do now? Personal Chef, housecleaner, poop cleaner, nurse and finder of all things (aka HomeEngineer)

9. Were you a party animal? Not until college, sorry.

10. Were you considered a flirt? I tried.  But it only worked on #1

11. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir? Nope.  No rhythm.  But #1 was and he was HOT!

12. Were you a nerd? No.  But I did get great grades.

13. Did you get suspended or expelled? Ya, right!  Never ditched a day in my life (well, there was one time, but I was so scared I made #1 bring me back to school!)

14. Can you sing the fight song? My college one, yes.  High school had fight songs?  I can sing the silly songs the band played at football  games about blood and green grass though!

15. Who was your favorite teacher? Not a single one.  They all annoyed me and proved everyday that they didn’t want to be there and we were just pains in their asses. 

16. Where did you sit during lunch? Outside, behind a building everyday.  Was the one time a day I was able to get away from the people whose goal in life was to make my life miserable.

17. What was your school's full name? Umm.. too much information, sorry.  But it was a very southwestern sounding name.

18. When did you graduate? 1995

19. What was your school mascot? Eagles

20. If you could go back and do it again, would you? HELL NO!  The only good thing I got from it all is Xiris and for that I am so thankful. I would not go back even for a single day, because there is not a day I can remember that someone had something mean to say to me or do to me.

21. Did you have fun at Prom? It was okay.  Kind of  a waste of money, really.  I felt uncomfortable for the most part – but I love the people I was with and we had a good time!  The nasty champagne in the limo was quite memorable- and the resulting story of best friends’ mother declaring Xiris to be evil because he barfed in her house.  heh.  

22. Do you still talk to the person you went to Prom with? Every single day. 

23. Are you planning on going to your next reunion? Um.  No.

24. Do you still talk to people from school? With Xiris, and recently reconnected with my bestest friend.  There are a few more I’d like to talk to – but I don’t know how.  DH mentions chatting with them once and a while on FaceBook, but I am avoiding that place like it has the pox.

25. School Colors?Kelly Green and Gold

26. What celebrities came from your high school? Ha, yeah, right!  I can tell you how many babies were born our senior year though!  LOTS and LOTS!

27. Did you play a sport? Nope.

28. What was your favorite club? I did Model UN for a short time. But honestly, it was so there was a “club” listed on my resume and it got me out of school once a month so I could attend summits.

29. What class or teacher did you fear? PE.  I let you come to your own conclusions as to why. 

30. What class was your favorite? Physics, because our teacher was a complete dope.  Seriously, he had a calculator that flipped open much like early Star Trek communicators.  At random during the lectures he’d flip it open and talk to it, with babble language.  He was arrested 5 years later for being high at school.  Anyone see that coming?

 

Your turn!  Copy, paste and use your own answers!  Leave me a comment if you do it so I can see, too!

{State of the Stash}

Here it is.  All of it.  (Well, except the GIANT bag of Cotton-Ease recently gifted by Pam!  So much!)
