I GOT NUTHIN'

I sat down here with not a thought in my head. After two minutes of staring at this white square, I'm still getting nuthin'. Maybe I'll ask more questions and rely on my friends to do the thinking part of this post. Are you game? I'll try to keep it simple so you don't have to cut into work time, or too much anyway. Please lurkers, put your two cents in too. You can be anonymous, I don't mind. Natalie does it all the time. ;-)

1) What is the oldest item in your wallet? (not including cash)
2) Last time you told someone you loved them? (when and who)
3) Favorite Christmas Carol?
4) Guilty pleasure?
5) What are you most likely doing on a Sunday morning?

Ok, that's it. There are so many things I want to know aboot you, this will have to do for now.

And here's a funny, totally unrelated Quote: "Boy, those French- they have a different word for everything." ~ Steve Martin :-)

Simon, I have to try that. I hate my wallet. Also, you stole my answer to number 3.

1) First, my wallet wouldn't know "old cash" if it stared it right in the face. That's why I don't carry cash. Oh, you meant the date it was printed. Nevermind. On to my answer.

The oldest thing in my wallet is my Registration Acknowledgment for the Selective Service System. I've brought it along in billfold after billfold for almost 20 years now. Wow, that's kind of cool. For those non-Americans reading, that's a card every 18-year-old male citizen (I think that's a requirement?) of the U.S. must get to show he is eligible for the draft.

2) Just this morning, I told my wife (a split-second after telling my son). I know there are people who go through a day without telling someone this, and it makes me sad.

3) Simon stole my joke answer, so I say, "Christmas" by Blues Traveler (from "A Very Special Christmas 3"). Calling it a "carol" is a stretch, but it's just good stuff. I with a one-horse open sleigh/Would come carry me away/But I've been waiting here all day/And one just hasn't come my way. A real carol? "Deck the Hall in 7/8 Time," which, conveniently, can be heard/downloaded from a collection here.

4) The song "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-A-Lot stays on my mp3 player even when all other songs have been swapped for others. Every time.

5) Waking up to and playing with my son, and often making pancakes for him and my wife (I just choke them down to be communal).

That lyric should say "I wish a one-horse open sleigh..." Sheesh.

1) A ticket stub to the '97 re-release of Star Wars

2) My wife, this morning as I left for work.

3) Hmmm. I really like "Make My Christmas Day" by Peter Mayer as Christmas music...but since that's not really a carol, I'll say "Sleigh Ride." That song gets stuck in my head in June. Infectious little ditty.

4)Other than all the time I spend commenting on blogs? Children's Literature. I like to alternate my reading between "heavy" reading and young adult fiction ala Harry Potter or Lemony Snicket. It's wonderfully comforting...it's book candy.

5) Lounging with Moonshot and Norah. Coffee, french toast (w/ peanut butter), and pajamas are usually involved. I try to watch Meet the Press...but often miss it and settle for cartoons instead.

Funny Quote - We had a good Cabinet meeting, talked about a lot of issues. Secretary of State and Defense brought us up to date about our desires to spread freedom and peace around the world.

Si: I forgot aboot your special "wallet" and I should have known you don't like "bulky" in your pants... ;-) I thought you worked through the dog-abuse issues.
Bu: You're using that "I don't know what you're talking about" line a lot lately...
Nat: I thought you gave up the schmokes! Oh, and Ryan is so cute, he can't possibly cook too ;-) Oops, I didn't mean that a guy who cooks can't be cute too!
Mark: I hadn't planned on selling advertising here, but that's cool. I'll send you the bill. Um, I don't think Shannon is here, typos are allowed ;-)
Mokker: Please send instructions on how to eat and where to put the PB on French toast. Sounds interesting...
Hazel: O Holy Night is one beautiful song. It's nice that you see the boys on Sundays.
TC: How did I know that you aren't into that Guilt thing??? And thanks for saving me the trouble of asking what you're doing Saturday night ;-) Thanks for the quote...
