I have to start watching the Colbert Report. The only time I see any of the show is when someone calls my attention to a snippet. I heard about this segment from the hilarious Vodka Mom‘s blog (really, check her out). You must watch this all the way through. The end is especially laugh-out-loud funny. You’re welcome.
Who’s doesn’t like a good game of tag? Virtual, bloggy tag is great for me since I’d rather sit down to do things, rather than exert myself too much. This kind of tag is also more gentle, as I’ve noticed that my son and his friends play a very aggressive version of tag.
I was tagged by the lovely Coffee Lovin’ Mom in this particular game and am ready to play and tag more peeps! I’ve been in kind of a writing rut lately, so this seems like just the thing to get me going!
Before we get to the questions and the tagged, here are the rules:
My 11 Things:
The 11 Questions I Answered:
1. Which room do you spend the most time in? Probably the kitchen. We eat there, do homework there, hang out there, my laptop is there. It’s the center of things, figuratively and geographically.
2. How big is the closet in your bedroom? It’s actually a decent size, yet doesn’t seem big enough. My organizational system could probably be better.
3. Have you ever locked yourself out of the house/car? Do tell. I locked myself out of my first apartment once. It was on the second floor of a house. I got a ladder from the garage, climbed up onto the part of the roof, and somehow opened the bathroom window.
4. How many pair of shoes do you own? Hmm. Counting boots, sneakers and sandals, about 45 pairs.
5. What was your first job? My first job was at a mom & pop ice cream and sandwich shop. It had a manual cash register, which quickly taught me how to count back change. This is a skill lost on the current crop of young workers.
6. Who was on your bedroom walls growing up? Let’s see. Shaun Cassidy, David Cassidy, Erik Estrada, Barry Manilow, Leif Garrett, Charlie Angels. I wonder who I’m forgetting…
7. How do you take your coffee? I start out taking it with a flavored creamer, then slowly add more coffee, heading toward black.
8. Did you buy your first car? What was it? My first car had been my grandpa’s. It was a big maroon boat, 1978 Buick LeSabre. It had AM radio, a front bench seat and I had to sit on a (matching maroon) pillow to see over the steering wheel. I named it Gus.
9. What is your favorite adult beverage? Share your recipe. I like good wine and good beer.
10. Which record albums do you remember from your childhood? Barry Manilow, Shaun Cassidy, Partridge Family, Rex Smith (who remembers him?)
11. How did you get where you are today? I’m honestly not sure.
Who Am I Tagging?
My 11 Questions for my tag-ees:
And, hey! Send me a link so I can read your posts!
I'm a SAHM of a boy and a girl in Chicago Suburbia. I have a wonderful husband and two lovable dogs.
Why Late Mommy? Two reasons. I became a mother at the "advanced maternal ages" of 38 & 40. Also, I frequently am running late for my and my kids' activities.
