All you wanted to know and didn't want to know about me!

My friend, Miesa, sent this to me. I never have the time to fill these out. But I thought this time - I might - it could even be fun. And so I thought since I was going through all the trouble, I should put it on my blog... so here goes!

WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?
loretta is after my grandmother, and kathryn is from my mom, grandmother and great grandmother.
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED?cried, no. yelled - 5 minutes ago.
DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING?
uh - it's ok.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT?
turkey
DO YOU HAVE KIDS?three handsome boys - ben, will and andy
IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?i would like to think so. people usually don't like me at first. they have to get used to me.
DO YOU USE SARCASM?i try not to, b/c i hate it. my husband is FULL of it. but unfortunately i do - b/c he rubs off on me, but it's usually only back to him.
DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS?yes
WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP?
no, not so much. deathly afraid of heights. sweaty palms and feet - the whole deal.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL?raisin nut bran & kashi go lean crunch. i could eat cereal for every meal. love it!
DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF?yeah - i only have one pair w/ties. my workout shoes. i use them often, but mostly i wear flip flops.
DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG?
strong-willed, yes (so that's where will gets it. oh - a light bulb moment). strong in muscle - i'd like to think so. will and ben are getting hard to lift. will is almost 50 pounds, and not sure about ben - maybe close to 60.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM?
not big into ice-cream or sweets.
WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE?
men - hands. women - hair.
RED OR PINK?neither. kinda all colored out. i like neutral these days.
WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF?
having no patience.
WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?my friend cristi - she died in 2001. and eric - he got married and had a baby (which i'm happy about), but i don't get to see him or talk to him much, and it makes me sad.
WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING?
no shoes, green shirt that says "green eggs and ham."
WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE?that's a hard one. ummm... what was it? i had something for lunch - maybe. can't remember. i really think of food as fuel for my body - not for enjoyment. i don't enjoy my food much - my diet is boring!
WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW?
silence, screaming, fighting, silence, crying... ah - the joy of boys!
IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?
yeah i don't know. maybe yellow.

the country (no dena, i wouldn't move there), andy's butt in a diaper after he's been changed and he's fresh and david's cologne (when he wears it).
WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?angie, david, angie
DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU?yes - miesa. she recently moved to houston and it's far away now. not that i ever visited her when she lived 15 minutes away. i'll just pretend like she still does so i don't feel so guilty. lol!
FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH?are soap operas considered sports? if i had to name one - i'd say golf. since i'm required to watch 4 tournaments a year. but if it were my choice - none.
HAIR COLOR?blonde with brown highlights
EYE COLOR?blue
DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS?yes, unfortunately. david wants me to get that eye surgery on my eyes. no, not so much. can't trust someone with my eyes. i'd hate not to be able to see david again. ha!
FAVORITE FOOD?again - food not for enjoyment. but if i was going to enjoy food, i would have to say ... oh come on - you all know. quesadillas! ask me where the best quesadillas i've had are (and i've had a lot)? that would be the coronado springs hotel at walt disney world. yummy! and mi cocina is quickly behind.
SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?
happy endings. i like the sappy stuff.
LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED?rumor has it
WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING?green that says 'green eggs and ham.' i think i already answered that. maybe i answered another question wrong.
FAVORITE SEASON ?
spring & fall
HUGS OR KISSES?
hugs from will (they are strong); kisses from ben; both from andy - they are sloppy good. both from david (if only he were here).
FAVORITE DESSERT?
not big into desserts
WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING NOW?
'how to have a good kid by friday.' having a little trouble w/the boys. i'm using the principles and it's really made a difference today. i'm hoping it continues to go well. funny - yesterday, ben read the title of the book and asked me what it was for. i told him it was to help me get some tools to deal with their behavior. he said 'well - it's not working'. i said 'i just started reading it.' he said 'well the first few pages that you read aren't working.' so tonight ... as i put them to bed. i said 'you know that book i'm reading?' he said 'yeah.' i said 'it's working, isn't it?' he said 'ugh, yeah ... why do you have to read that book? can you stop?' it was pretty funny.
WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD?
the men from general hospital. david just loves it. only thing is - i can't figure out how it got ripped around the edges. huh...
WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON TV LAST NIGHT?taped episode of general hospital
FAVORITE SOUNDS?
silence - complete dead silence. but - since i never get that, i'll have to say andy's laugh.
WHAT IS THE FARTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME?
new york
DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT?well, i do photography. although i'm on break right now. but i'm not sure what i have is considered talent. i like to organize. although my house doesn't represent that right now. actually - i'm getting it cleaned and organized before david comes home. you guys would be proud.
WHERE WERE YOU BORN?mesquite, texas
WHAT DO YOU LIKE MOST ABOUT YOUR SPOUSE?
when he wants to be - he can be tender and kind. he has the best manners of anyone i have ever met. and i'm thankful my boys have taken that from him.
WHAT SHOULD YOU BE DOING RIGHT NOW?
i should be sorting through boxes, cleaning up the office, doing laundry - you name it. but i'm going to go watch general hospital from today, read in my book a little and then go to bed.
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS FOR TOMORROW?
my goal is to get through the day w/o yelling. i almost did today. bedtime was a little tough. today was better than the last few days so i think we can do it. dena and her girls are coming over to spend the night and then we're going to wetzone waterpark on wedensday. should be big fun!

thanks for reading - i know it's long and boring.... but hey, i know you wanted to know what color crayon i would be. night night!
