super power

Dear QotD?ers,

Today was a busy day! Last minute meetings and giving tours! This evening I tried to paint my nails with a phase-of-the-moon theme. One of the thumbs turned out well, but the rest look super messy. I'll probably repaint the rest solid. There will likely NOT be a QotD? tomorrow. Why is that? I'll be enjoying a triple feature of the Twilight Saga with Mom and Jackie.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What would be your first act as King/Queen of the world?

The Asker

we don't

Dear QotD?ers,

I had a great time with my mom. We laughed so hard looking at blueprints. That's how fantastic she is. Fabia and her family came over Saturday night for dinner and games. We played more games with them, including Beatles Rockband! Hooray! It was a really good weekend. I hope you all had great weekends too.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Do you know all of your neighbors?

you could do this during summer

Dear QotD?ers,

mosquitoes. oh, when they get to me, it can be baaad.

Mom is here! She's going to have to entertain herself while we are at work tomorrow, but we get Friday off, so we can do all sorts of things*!

I was in training all day. They provided us with a donut breakfast and a chick-fil-a lunch. On my way from training to the plant, to pick up Justin, there was a small grass fire . There was a cop! but I don't know what he thought he'd get accomplished by himself.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Have you ever been to a drive-in movie?

Love,

*things may or may not include creating iron-on shirts for a movie premier next week.

what, is it summer or something?

Dear QotD?ers,

I think the most summery thing would be to eat a huge slice of watermellon out in the backyard, spittin' seeds into the grass.

Guess who's coming to visit me? Mom! It will be good to see her and she has all this free time, now that she's retired.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What is the worst summer pest?

Posting problems?

I know that some of you are having problems posting your answers (Mom, Anne, etc.) If you usually have problems, send me an e-mail. I'll hastle blogger.com if I can.

Summer! Summer!

Dear QotD?ers,

Did you miss me yesterday? I did too. My computer decided to go blank, unexpectedly, and Justin was already asleep, so I decided to let it sleep.

Sunday afternoon the kittens were picked up and taken home. I really really liked having them over. Petting kittens, cuddling kittens, purring kittens = all wonderful. Justin didn't even have allergy problems. I look forward to seeing .com again when she's filled out some and interested in exploring or playing. KITTENS!

Happy Birthday to Amanda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dear QotD?ers,

This is .com, yes that is her name '.com' She's from a different litter than Grizz, smaller and more timid. Here she has just tucked herself in next to Justin.She is no where near as active or vocal as Grizz. She is recovering from deworming medicine, making her the saddest little cute kitten ever.

Dear QotD?ers,

It is confirmed. I will have super cute guests from tomorrow evening through Sunday. I am amazingly excited and can't wait. There will be pictures.

Last night I had a disturbing dreams. If I disliked snakes as much as I dislike spiders, it would have been an all out nightmare. I won't go into more details, becuase some of you may be ooged out a lot by snakes. After a few hours to reflect, the snakes were really more like Slimey from Sesame Street.

Dear QotD?ers,

I had a great time today thinking of possible lyric completions. If you check the comments, you'll see that most of the answers are mine. Some of them I stole from Justin when we were laughing about it over lunch.
There's a possibility that I will have some super cute guests this weekend. I'm not going to say any more, but if it happens you will know!

Dear QotD?ers,

I took a few days off last week. Some days I feel like I'm not providing you with a quality QotD? and I need to take a break and reflect on what I like best about this blog.

I really like when I'm able to tell you something exciting about my day, not just "i'm boring. ho hum, another day of work." I really like when I have a well thought of question, not just "uhh, it's 10:25 and I need a question. what's sitting on my desk? what cnn news story could I twist into a question?" I really, really like when my questions are interesting enough that they get many responses. I'm not just talking about my dedicated QotD?ers, though I love you very much. It's all the rest of you - the ones who tell me that you read this blog every day but don't answer. What have you got to lose? I don't care if your answer isn't witty or earthshattering or poignant. I care that you enjoying this blog that exists because of the answers it gets.

This week I am using a suggestion by Anne. (If you want to give me suggestions, put it in the comments or send me an e-mail or call me).

Today's Question of the Day? is:

How would you incorrectly complete the following lyric: Give me a break, give me a break! Break me off a piece of that ____ ______ ______! ?

rain

Dear QotD?ers,

My worst summer job was working for Anne. JUST KIDDING! I now love gel pens because of her. My worst summer job was an 'internship' for the Department of Justice. I reviewed performance appraisals and cross checked them to this book of print-outs. HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS of these. The best part of the summer was when there was paper to shred. hooray! I went back for a few weeks during winter break, only to find they had mixed up my piles of 'COMPLETE!' and 'NOT COMPLETE!' and had to redo my work. boo.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

When is the last time you got soaked in the rain?

summer drudge

Dear QotD?ers,

Did you know that hurrican season has already started? And the winds are a'changing to La Niña, which promotes a more terrible season with increased storm chances? It's true. We've already started planning and doing drills at work. This is serious business. For all 5 of us that live on the gulf coast: spend Saturday morning buying water, beans and spaghettios before it's too late!!

The answers Mom and 2nd Mom combined are my answer for yesteday's QotD? I think I'm going to make Labor Day a summer-family-reunion-at-our-house sort of weekend. It was a success last year.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

What was the worst summer job you ever had?

Love,
The Asker

Fam

Dear QotD?ers,

Yes, I can swim! I took lessons as a child and as a small child. I'm not graceful, and I won't win any races, but I can swim to survive and have fun. We went to the pool this afternoon and I learned that I should swim without contacts or with goggles.

Other weekend activities include: fighting (and beating) the weeds in the back corner flower bed, library, recycle center, using gift cards at Walmart and only spending $.27, eating at a chinese diner for lunch, buying a NEW IRON!, using a NEW IRON! I never though I would ever be excited about an iron, but it is POWERFUL. The steam! oh, that old iron was so sad and ineffective compared to my new iron. I love it.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Does you family have family reunions?

scissor, frog, doggie, butterfly

Dear QotD?ers,

There was a health fair at work today. I learned that I am terrible at redneck horseshoes, I have low blood pressure, flat feet, a stiff spine and that large dill pickles and candy are acceptable give-aways at a health fair.

For the most part, I think I would like my clone. We could have fun doing all the goofy stuff that Justin isn't interested in, like dancing in the grocery store and watching So You Think You Can Dance. I'm not sure if I would be easy to work with on a professional level. It would depend on what we are working on.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

Do you know how to swim?

Love,
The Asker

CLONE!

Dear QotD?ers,

let's look at my goals:

Get together with old friends at least once a month. I'm doing pretty well! June is still open
· Go to bed before 11pm on schoolnights, once accomplished for a month, knock it down by 8 minutes until at 10:15 . I'm not doing so well on this one. I am definatly not at 10:15, as you can tell by the post time of this entry.
· Exercise on the weekly, either brisk walking or BIKE RIDING!! Maybe join a class at the Y Have not joined a class. have not done a good job of keeping up a weekly exercise either. I'm dissapointed in myself on this one.
· Finish home-izing the house (decorations, painting, hanging up pictures) work in progress. Things are up, more things will be going up. new couch purchased.
· Make QotD? Even better. I'm going to need help on this one. I feel like I've hit a slump and all my questions are pretty lame.
· Keep up with Amanda’s 365 picture blog adventure. SUCCESS! well, recently I've taken a picture every day, i just need to post it.

We played Carrccassonnee again at lunch today. There was also some sunshine rain, which makes me feel good inside.

Today's Question of the Day? is:

If you had a clone, do you think you would work well with them? be great friends? annoy the heck out of each other?

The Asker

accountability section

Dear QotD?ers,

Friday morning I slept in some, got some audio books a the libary, then drove to College Station to meet Sadie and have lunch with my brother. Then we road-tripped to Midlothian for Mom's retirement party! There was cake, punch, gag gifts and some crying. Those people really like her! and 4 of her former students showed up... and only 3 of them were her children. Afterwards, we fed ravenous fishes, ate fishes ravenously and then Matt, Jackie, Mom and I played Pictionary Man. Saturday I slept in! hooray! Then it was an afternoon with just Mom and me. We had lunch, saw Letters to Juliet, shopped around. Then a relaxed evening at home with Dad. Sunday was church, pancakes, a nap and a drive home, where I got to see Justin again! He cooked some delicious food and we watched a movie. Monday I slept in (again!!) watched TV, watched Slumdog Millionaire. I really love 4-day weekends.

Today's Question of the Day? is

Since it's the middle of the year, it's a good time to reflect. How are you doing on your 2010 goals?

Love,
