Meme time cuz the baby is sleeping

I got tagged for this meme by Luisa at Novembrance and it's been a while.
The other two, I stole, just flat out stole from Code Yellow Hot Mama

4 things that should go into Room 101 and be removed from the face of the earth:
Boohbah
jealousy
cigarettes
fluorescent green

3 things people do that make you want to shake them violently:
when people say "alls" as though it's ACTUALLY A WORD
Smack their gum
make excuses or blame others

2 things you find yourself moaning about:
being overweight
taking care of a newborn

1 thing the above answers tell you about yourself:
Nothing too telling. I'm a snob and don't care for the newborn stage. :)

**********************************************************

My roommate(s) and I... once left for Thanksgiving break and when we came back, a new roommate had moved in and put up "decorations" all over the house. They were pictures torn from calendars (you know, like what you decorated with when you were 10 years old) like, whales, foxes, horses, etc. AND printed out stories from her emails. Like, the one about one-legged Timmy the soccer star. That particular story was pasted right in front of the toilet for our reading pleasure when we had to take care of business. I finally convinced her to take some of them down when I told her I met a soccer player named Timmy and I wet my pants. Looking back, it seems like nothing, but we were all pretty shocked and dismayed that our hovel had lost even more value in such a short time.

Never in my life... have I wanted to get drunk.

High school was... forgettable, for the most part. I wish I had tried harder or understood the benefits in trying harder. ie, scholarships.

When I'm nervous... you probably can't tell. I rarely get nervous. However, I did notice while on my mission that I would start making fart noises with my hands when I got bored. When I'm nervous I get the usual butterflies and hot, but I think I hide it well.

My hair... is atrocious right now. I used to have great hair I could get to do whatever I want (except be fine). I usually had to do very little to maintain it. Each child has subsequently destroyed that. Now it's nappy and wings out in random places and I got a helacious hair cut and I really don't want to talk about it anymore.

When I was five I...probably had a mullet, speaking of hair. I was homeschooled. I had a fat lip. I was probably a busy body. I loved little kids. I threw a pair of wet underwear at my 12 year old brother who made fun of me for wetting my pants. Nailed him too.

When I turn my head left...my "sweepy" bangs obstruct my view of Avee two inches from my face. I kid you not. Apparently she "needs" something.

I should be...finishing making dinner

By this time next year...I'll be older, wiser, slimmer, and not pregnant or nursing.

My favorite aunt is...huh. Don't really have one.

I have a hard time understanding...rude people. When we were visiting our friends in DC, we went into a metro station that was INSANELY crowded. One person in our group went to get a ticket, and the bulk of us waited to the side for him to return. While we were waiting, we found ourselves waiting next to another woman. After about 10 minutes of waiting and just seeing hundreds of people pass by, we were all commenting on how crazy busy it was. My husband turned to the woman standing near us and said, "have you been waiting long?" She was obviously doing the same thing we were. She stared at him and then said hostily, "Why do you need to know!?" Like he'd just asked her social security number. He was pretty shocked, as were the rest of us. He kind of recovered and said something about our friend getting us a ticket and wondering how long it would take. She said something even more rude and kind of stunned us all. My husband said, "Sorry to bother you," he was definitely being sarcastic, but the funny thing is, she said, "no problem." That actually made me laugh, but the whole experience made me just feel gross. It's rare that I've met a person that rude for no reason, but when I have, I just don't get it.

You know I like you if...I talk a lot. If I tell you. I email you. You send me things. :)

My ideal breakfast is...eggs benedict and perfect hashbrowns. Oh wait, that's usually what I order if we go out. I would love fresh fruit, all kinds, perfectly fresh, already prepared.

If you visit my home town...keep on a-driving. Just kidding. I don't care for it much, but that offends the people who still live there. There's lots of history there (here--I happen to be in my hometown right now...) and it's worth checking out. Once.

If you spend the night at my house...don't expect me to wait on you. I'm a much better guest than I am a host. If being a good guest means eating all your food and leaving messes everywhere. I'm excellent.

My favorite blonde is...Erica

My favorite brunette is...Sara

I shouldn't have been...wasting time on regrets

Last night I...nursed, laid down, and read Harry Potter all at the same time. Thank you very much.

A better name for me would be...Your Highness. My name is perfect for me, actually.

I've been told I look like...Molly Ringwald. My entire teen years. Darryl Hannah in my early twenties and more recently, Scully from X-files. Oh yeah, and a lady at Walmerts said I looked just like the baby. Really. She didn't say he looks like me, she said, "You look JUST LIKE heem."

If I could have any car, it would be...fuel efficient and seat many. Doesn't exist. But a girl can dream.

You noticed you made fart noises with your hands while on your mission? Oddly enough, I learned to make them on my mission.

It happened during a District Leader testimony meeting during a zone conference. There were some excellent testimonies, and then there were the "Boy, I really want to be a Zone Leader" testimonies designed to impress the Mission President. During the latter, I discovered the joys of properly applied pressure.
