3. tell me that they have paid off my $19,000 debt to the IRS.

June 14th, 2007 at 10:18 am
1. Fairly well, I suppose
2. Looking forward to getting my car back from the soulsuckers. Or the mechanic. Whoever has it today.
3. I wish my dad would tell me that I’m not his biggest disappointment. Or at least be honest with me and tell me that I am, instead of hiding how he feels inside statements like “I only want the best for you”
4. Sleep. And A tuna sandwich.
5. I like cleaning bathrooms, but only because I use bleach and I like the smell of bleach in a clean room.
6. I love to cook, but I hate the cleanup involved.
7. I could always use a nap. Good thing I have no students today. Hooray for exam week!!

1. Fine, except for a nasty 24-hour stomach bug.
2. Looking forward to feeling better, the clock is ticking.
3. Tell me something funny & don’t mention food
4. Sleep…
5. Cleaning is great, especially redoing my wood floors, but it’s best done with someone.
6. More of a baking person, actually.
7. Yes, thank you.

1. How are you REALLY doing? I am actually dong okay. If I pull my head out of the massively depressive bs I get horribly caught up in and just remove myself from the negativity things are actually damn okay.
2. What are you most looking forward to/dreading about the day that lies ahead? I’m looking forward to eating lunch (I like food) and then after that the part of the day when work is over. I am dreading work in general. Hate.
3. If someone could do one thing for you that would make your day 1000 times better, what would it be? Offer me a good job at a great salary.
4. Craving anything right now? I could go for a buffet, or lobster, or alfredo sauce, but not actually craving anything.
5. Do you like or loathe cleaning? Both, depending on my mindset.
6. Do you like or loathe cooking? Like.
7. Want a nap? Not right now, but check in with me this afternoon.

1. REALLY? Ok, considering I’m at that four letter worded place that starts with a W. Would much rather be on a warm beach.
2. Having to pick my Mom up from the airport because standby was full AGAIN (third day running).
3. Mind-meld my brain so that I would know how to cook and stop being such a ninny about it!
4. Some alone time.
5. Loathe.
6. See 3.
7. Mmm, some snuggly time would be lovely, thank you.

1. Good, just ate a chocolate cupcake with icing. Mmm.
2. Looking forward to my hubby coming home but dreading tomorrow when we go to my in laws. Smokey McSmokers. YUCK.
3. Respond to messages! C’mon people, it’s rude.
4. coffee.
5. LOATHE cleaning but love clean. It results in many arguments in my head.
6. I like cooking mostly but I like eating much more.
7. A nap would be lovely but the cleaning, and the laundry won’t allow it.

1. I am doing OK, just a bit sad about the lingering June Gloom here on the coast when I just left 109 degrees and blazing sunshine behind in my desert dwelling
2. Going shopping with hubby tonight
3. Tell me I could telecommute 100% of the time
4. Sunshine
5. I take guilty pleasure in cleaning (thanks, Mom)
6. No like!
7. Nor right now

1. Well, I’m a little sore in the shoulders from lifting weights last night.
2. Well, the day’s almost over, but I *was* dreading the Mandatory Fun division picnic today. Turns out I didn’t have to; it was actually really nice and I got to go home early.
3. Tell me I didn’t have to work for a year, but I’d still get paid.
4. No, because I just saw a picture of my ass. Well, maybe I’m craving a smaller ass.
5. I loathe cleaning, but I love the result.
6. I like cooking, but I don’t do it very often.
7. Always.

1. I’m doing really good. Summer is my happiest time of year, so I feel happy and cheerful most of the time. It’s a nice change from the drudgery of winter.
2. I’m looking forward to my massage tomorrow. I’m 27, and have never had a professional one before. I finally decided that enough was enough, so I’m treating myself to one. I hope it’s a good experience!
3. Give me a hug. I love hugs.
4. Coffee and chocolate.
5. A mixture of both. I love cleaning and organizing the kitchen and my bedroom, but I loathe cleaning the bathroom and pretty much every other space.
6. I like cooking, and wish I was better at it. My specialties include cookies and frozen things shoved into the oven.
7. Yes, please! I was up until 1am reading Harry Potter (Order of the Phoenix - I’m getting caught up before the new book & movie), and I’m so exhausted right now that I feel like falling over. I’m going out tonight to dinner and a movie with friends, so I’m in desperate need of a power nap or a shot of energy.

Note to Megan (commenter #2)- re. Question # 3…parents say these things to express their own inadequacies at not being able to give you the very best - of life,- of themselves,- of everything they think you deserve. The other subtext of that statement is that he thinks you are settling for less than you are worthy of receiving -from the level of commitments made by you and to you,-the decisions others make that affect you, - he is speaking of his frustration at not being able to make things better for you. We all say we want our children to learn from OUR mistakes rather than the lumps they earn from their own, but most of the time we wish we could make everything perfect for them to spare them the hurts we experience - the hurts that in turn make us awkward at expressing ourselves to you.

1. Really? I’m tired and stressed out about money. I know this too shall pass but right now I’m just tired and stressed.
2. I’m most looking forward to lunch with my honey. I’m not really dreading anything.
3. Anyone could hand me $1000.00. That would rock! (and it would take care of the aforementioned stress in question 1)
4. an egg mcmuffin. That would taste so yummy right now.
5. I’d say I like cleaning more than I loath it. But there are certainly parts I like more than others.
6. I love cooking. love it.
7. dear god yes. I need a nap. 4 hours of sleep just isn’t enough.
I know I was late to this party but I’m glad I answered the questions ;)
