1. My children are my life. I know....I know MOM, you don't have to tell me again that you can't make your children your entire life. You have to make your husband first and foremost. It may be your children who pick your retirement home, but it is your husband who has to put up with you for the 20-40 years between the kids leaving the house and you actually needing the retirement home. And if you don't make time for your husband, then his eye will start to wander and pretty soon you will be a single woman with no man in her life and you wouldn't want THAT now would you? So just listen to your mom who loves you and give your husband plenty of on-demand-blow-jobs with a smile on your face because that is what a good wife does. Or so my mom says. Nevertheless, my children are my life
2. I have an issue or two with my mom. But, as I am seeing from reading other blogs, that doesn't seem to be too shocking of a revelation.
3. The sexiest man on TV right now? Jon Stewart!
4. I have every season of both Buffy and Angel on DVD. Not TOO shocking except that I am 38, not 28.
5. I have never watched even a single minute of Survivor or American Idol.
6. However I do Tivo Judge Judy every day.
7. I secretly love the "white trash Christmas display" that my husband has created in our front yard. While I still wish that we had the simple and elegant white lights that we had before our children, there is something about hearing The Queen coo "sanda!" as she points to the 26 lighted inflatables in our rather small front yard that warms my heart. Especially since he fixed the wiring so that the lights didn't blow out the GFI switch every time I tried to plug in my hairdryer.
8. I am hopelessly stuck on 80s music. And not in a "oh -let's dust off the cassette tapes from college and listen to some old music. More like the "shit - what do you mean they don't make cassette players in stereos any more? Now I have to go out and try to find Upstairs at Eric's by Yaz on CD?". I never moved in to the 90s music, much less the new millenium. My husband claims that it is because I was just too damn lazy to go out and listen to some new stuff. Untrue. The 90s music was just too depressing and that whole grunge thing repulsed me. I wouldn't fuck any of them even if they had a 10-foot pole. By the time 2000 hit, I figured I had missed a whole decade and it was just too late to catch up.
9. The greatest loss to music by suicide was not Kurt Cobain. Yes - I know that he is nothing short of a saint to many. Not to me. The person I miss the most? Michael Hutchence. I've been in love with that man's music since I was first introduced to INXS when they were the opening act for Men At Work at the Mann Music theater when I was in 7th grade. That was 26 years ago. Shit, I'm old!
10. I am sometimes the Princess of Procrastination Who Is Addicted to The Internet. Example? I started writing this post yesterday. I have a habit of sitting down at my computer to "just check/write one thing". Next thing I know, four hours have gone by and I forgot why I sat down in the first place!
So that's a few things about me.....the tame things. I don't want to scare off my loyal readers (both of you) just yet. I'll ease you in to the true neurosis that is me!
next up? Schmaltzy Sunday!
