Ch-Ch-Check it, Yo!

My wordpress blog!!! Holla! Nothing there yet, just the shell....it's been sitting like that for about a month now while I played around with all the fancy wordpress features. But visit anyway. :)

(By the way, the picture on my wordpress blog is a picture that I actually took last March at the Grand Canyon. Poor guy sitting on the ledge looked so alone and sad.)

Coming Back At Ya...

...April 2007! Maybe sooner??? Moving on up to wordpress. I decided to jump on the wordpress bandwagon like everybody else. I'm playing with it right now....my new blog at wordpress, you sickos! Geez!

Taking a break

I am taking a break from blogging. Let's face it, folks. I'm not a writer. I'm not witty and classy like Michael Guy
. I'm not smart like Ur-Spo. I can't even write an entertaining entry of my day-to-day life like Steve without coming across like a bore.
I'm also beginning to find blogging more of a chore than a fun hobby. Not to mention my daily routine (read: work and being a 'housewife') keeps me busy enough. I don't need to add more.

Perhaps I'll be back. Perhaps I'll just let this blog become an abandoned place where I can carve, "Robert was here", and move along, never to look back. Only time will tell.

For now, see you later.

101 50 Things About Me - Part 2

I don't think I will be able to make a list of 101 things about me. I can barely come up with 50! So is this list the last? Or is it to be continued??? Hmmm...

26. I have the greatest fear of spiders. Any other bugs, I’m ok with, but spiders really make me scream like a girl.
27. I like sitting on the couch on a lazy evening watching TV….and filing my nails.
28. My greatest fear in life is being poor and homeless.
29. I am hoping to buy a new car at the end of this year, even though my car still runs great at 151,400 miles.
30. I am anti-war. If this current war was Vietnam, you bet your ass I would be burning my draft card, growing my hair and beard, and getting high.
31. Speaking of getting high, pot is the only illegal drug I have ever tried. I stopped smoking it a year ago.
32. I’m hoping to move to Dallas/Ft. Worth in about 5 years, and buy my first home there.
33. I don’t have many friends. I can count my friends on one hand and still have fingers left over. It’s my choice. In my experience, friends = problems.
34. My favorite store is Macy’s.
35. I prefer to use email as a form of communication than a phone call.
36. For lunch on most days, I have a cigarette and a Diet Coke.
37. My biggest pet peeves ever are 1.) slow drivers and 2.) people that don’t use their turn signals.
38. I don’t think I can come up with 101 things about me….my life is pretty bland.
39. I once made a Marine cry. I’m ever so proud of that!
40. Speaking of #39, when fighting (not physically), as Brian once said, “I don’t mince words.” My words can be harsh and I tend to “hit below the belt.”
41. I have never been in a physical fight.
42. I hope to have one child, a boy, in the future. I already have a name picked out for him: Kevin Luke.
43. I’m only 5’6”.
44. But I weigh a hefty 167 pounds.
45. Though I’ve been told I don’t look “fat.”
46. With the exception of my sister, I am not really close to my family.
47. I would eventually like to see the world, specifically England, Greece, Italy, and France.
48. I would LOVE to spend a night in a haunted house.
49. Speaking of things haunted, I love watching horror movies.
50. I am addicted to lip balm. I carry one everywhere I go and apply it often.
