Momentary Thought

The Bon Jovi concert was fun last night, though they didn't have nearly enough sound coming out to the audience. At times the audience's singing even drowned out the band. But Jon was adorable as ever, and Marie and I gushed over him throughout the entire concert. We sat on a blanket in the grass, and I brushed her hair and played with braiding it. Then I gave Michael a back scratch and massage. Tradition when we go to Desert Sky dictates everyone takes a turn under my fingernails. The rest of the time was spent snuggled up to Calvin. So! Keep an eye out on VH-1 for the 1/2 hour special they did on Bon Jovi's opening night concert to kick off his tour. If you look reeeal close you might spot us - way in the back. WAAAY in the back.


High/Low

High: Another Thursday-turned-Friday for me. Chaperoning Marie's class field trip tomorrow.

Low: Meetings, tedium, meetings, flow charts, meetings, presentations, meetings, e-mail, meetings...


Current Obsession

Money!


Grin Source

Bad joke that Calvin told last night:
A man and a little boy were standing in line at the bank. They happened to be waiting behind a rather obese woman. Suddenly, the woman's pager went off. The little boy said "Look out, Daddy! She's backing up!"


Singing

"Most girls want a man with the mean green
Don't wanna dance if he can't be
Everything that I dream up
A man that understands real love"
Pink - Most Girls

  Okay, here we go. I got this from Dreama, who got it from Renee, who lifted it from Athena, who blatantly copied from Nicole.

I actually filled this out while I was on a really boring teleconference on Tuesday night. I'm performing a time warp by posting it on Thursday. Carry on.

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

I see. . . a Hershy's type wrapper from the candy bar given to me at the birth of my ex-boss' baby, that says HERESHEIS.

I need. . . migraine medication. It's in my dresser, and I'm at work.

I find. . . that I get a craving for sugar around 3:00 every afternoon.

I want. . . to never have to worry about money again.

I have. . . one week to understand Inequalities, Radical Expressions, and Quadratic Equations.

I love. . . Calvin, Marie, Michael, AB, Grandma, my sister, my pets, dancing, the smell of rain, snuggling, asparagus, and fifty million other things.

I miss. . . Maine.

I fear. . . the possibility that my loved ones may some day be taken away from me.

I feel. . . anticipation for our upcoming vacation in July, even though we have nothing specific planned. Maybe that's *why* I'm looking forward to it.

I hear . . . a really, *really* boring teleconference.

I smell. . . nothing. My nose is plugged.

I crave. . . a baked potato with butter, sour cream, salt and pepper.

I wonder. . . how many licks it really *does* take to get to the tootsie roll center of a tootsie pop.

I regret. . . little, which means I've been living my life well.

When was the last time you. . .

Smiled? A two hours ago, when I talked to Calvin on the phone.

Danced? This weekend, to KC and the Sunshine Band, with Calvin.
Were sarcastic? Oh, probably today sometime.
Kissed someone? Yesterday morning, unfortunately. Calvin's been out of town.
Talked to an ex? What, going on two years now? I don't particularly miss it.
Watched your favorite movie? This weekend.
Had a nightmare? Last night, I think. I dreamed that Calvin, Marie and I were late to catch a plane, and then we got separated, and they went on without me. I caught up with them a day later, after almost getting on the wrong plane. The luggage *did* get on the wrong plane, and went all the way to England.

Remember your first love? Yep.
Still love him/her? Nope.
