My good friend and neighbor, Angie, tagged me with this meme. Seeing as I’d do anything that lovely woman even mildly suggests, I quickly dug out my old Meme 4 inch heels and clicked them together three times.
Here’s what I got:
I AM: a very lucky girl. (Yes, I still refer to myself as a girl – please don’t blow it for me.)
I WANT: to behold and enjoy my children as they become confident, well-educated, savvy adults.
I WISH: that this freaking house would sell.
I HATE: the fact that even one night in pantyhose turns my body into a cupcake factory.
I MISS: the smell of California, the taste of New York City and the feel of the stage under my feet.
I FEAR: anything that harms my children – also bees, but I’m almost over that one.
I HEAR: Mary J. Blige’s “Be Without You” (love it) and my dog happily snoring.
I WONDER: what it will be like once we are settled into the new house and all of the repairs and renovations are complete.
I REGRET: talking my husband into a vasectomy a few years ago. HUGE regret.
I AM NOT: punctual anymore. That left me with the arrival of the children.
I DANCE: when I go to jazzercise class. I also cannot resist a few grand jetes across my basement floor or doing cartwheels in any open grassy area.
I SING: in the car and with my Brownie troop. I do not sing as much as I used to.
I CRY: when my children stand up and publicly perform anything, when I think about September 11th, during any movie I see in the theater and every time that damn Visa commercial with “Train” song comes on.
I AM NOT ALWAYS: nice but I’m usually honest.
I MAKE WITH MY HANDS: cookies, french braids, flower beds, school lunches, clean laundry & dishes, beef stew and a home for my family.
I WRITE: because it makes me happy and has proven to be much cheaper than therapy.
I CONFUSE: large numbers in sequence (phone #’s) and sometimes my left and right. (shut up)
I NEED: to get healthier and back to exercising.
I SHOULD: find another work out that is less stressful on the joints.
I START: moving over to the new house in May.
I FINISH: every bag of Twizzlers that I open.
I TAG: Leanne and Ladybug ( I’m feeling L-y)
Click, click, click. Wanna try?

Oooh what neat things to know! I don’t think I’ve even seen this one before, and of course you tag me. WAH!
I miss California too. Any pics of you on stage? Did I miss them, are they prior to Dec. 2005?
You can do cartwheels? Dayum.
Quit staring.
I love your answers. I would love to hear you sing. I always call myself a lucky girl too! I try to be on time but lately I am having trouble getting my personal mail out on time. It is always late and I live near (across from) the village post office!
OMG! How can I possibly think up answers as good as yours?
I’ll put this meme up tomorrow… I gotta think! This brain isn’t as quick as it used to be.
I din’t know you could cartwheel. You gotta teach me… really.

I loved reading this. We have a lot in common. No surprise there! I feel you on the punctuality front. I was never late- until I had a baby. Now, I just can’t seem to make it anywhere on time…
Great meme! Fun to read your answers and know that I’m not the only momma who can be brought to tears by watching one of my kids perform (even if they are in the back row and don’t do anything other than sing with the whole school..sniff..)
Moving in soon! What work has been done so far? Any leads on your house to sell yet? Crossing fingers…
I Uh…. Meme….
MommaK, the goober, tagged me. I ran as fast as I could, but she’s faster than I am, even with her dancing shoes on. So here we go, more on me, because, well – it’s my blog and she said so. Oh yes, and a new haircut pic. There’s …
This is interesting, K. Cupcake factory? Huh?
You know, Dr. Phil had his vasectomy reversed when his wife wanted a second child… just saying…
I hope your house sells SOON! Springtime is a great time for someone to buy your house!
You mentioned clicking heels together and I gasped fearing the tag. But alas, I have escaped undetected. No Surrender today. :raspberry:
Good. I thought I was the only one who was late all the time after children. I have been one hour late everyday for work for the last three years!
I loved your answers too.
I still cry when I see my kids and they are young adults. It doesn’t go away, it only gets better, but bittersweet as they grow. xo
You didn’t tag me, but I”m doing it anyway! :raspberry:
What a great meme!
Yeah, I didn’t get the cupcake factory thing either. Please explain.
