Yeah, I'm avoiding some particularly distasteful work for a moment, so here's a
1. FIRST NAME? Lisa
2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? No. My dad wanted to name me "Layla" after the Eric Clapton song, but my mom nixed that idea (for which I am grateful).
3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? Earlier this week, when I was so tired and stressed that I was yelling at the kids for no good reason. I had that realization that I was being a horrible mom, and I just cried and cried in the shower.
4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? Not specifically, but at least it's legible.
5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCHMEAT? smoked turkey. No sweet/honey stuff. Bleh.
6. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Probably. I hope so, because the only people I'm not friends with are people who are either a) assholes, or b) very superficial. I sure hope I'm not either of those. That said, I don't have a lot of friends, just because I'm kind of a homebody, I guess.
7. DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL? Yeah, but I don't keep up with it that much.
8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yes, although with all the times I had strep and tonsilitis as a kid, it's amazing they didn't just get completely eaten by viruses and bacteria.
9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Maybe. I'd be more likely to skydive, as I have this fear that the jolt at the bottom of a bunjee jump would completely screw up my back. But I don't plan on doing either until after the kids are grown, since I like to minimize the risk of leaving them motherless.
10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? oatmeal made from steel-cut oats.
11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? If they tie, yes
12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Not so much strong as tough. (I stole this answer, but I think it applies to me)
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM FLAVOR? Blue Bell cookies & cream
14. SHOE SIZE? This question ticks me off, just because it reminds me of how difficult it is for me to find shoes that fit. I can fit in anything between a 7 and a 9, and none of those ever fit *right*. I hate shoes. :(
15. RED OR PINK? 5 years ago I would have said red without a doubt. I've started appreciating pink; I guess it depends on if I'm feeling more feminine/pretty, or more sexy.
16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? When I'm having difficulties with the kids, I yell at them. I hate it when I yell, and I know that what they end up hearing is akin to what adults in the Peanuts cartoons sound like. I wish I could just STFU be one of those parents that remains calm.
17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? My dad in Texas.
18. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU? N/A
19. WHAT COLOR PANTS, SHIRT AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Jeans, white Hawaii t-shirt. Since I'm home, I'm barefoot (see #11)
20. LAST THING YOU ATE? bean/cheese burrito and 3 rolled tacos from the Mexican joint down the street.
21. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? The hum of my computer.
22. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? Probably a rich shade of blue.
24. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? My husband.
25. THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE YOU ARE ATTRACTED TO? Eyes/face/hair.
26. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON YOU STOLE THIS FROM? Well, I don't know her (she's an LJ friend), but she seems pretty cool and helpful online. :)
27. FAVORITE DRINK? Alcoholic: margarita, or a *good* beer, or *good* red wine. Non-alcoholic: regular iced tea, unsweetened.
28. FAVORITE SPORT? Nascar
29. EYE COLOR? brown
30. HAT SIZE? I have no clue; I rarely wear hats.
31. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? Yes, although lately they irritate my eyes, which really bothers me because when I don't wear them for a long length of time, my vision degrades (I wear hard contacts).
32. FAVORITE FOOD? Smoked BBQ, *good* steak, Tex-Mex
33. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS? Happy endings. I hate scary movies, not because they scare me, but because I find them kind of dumb.
34. THERE IS NO 34.
35. SUMMER OR WINTER? Winter. If I never had the sensation of being hot again, I would be the happiest person alive. I *hate* feeling hot.
36. HUGS OR KISSES? hugs, although a nice sensual kiss from my husband is wonderful. Come to think of it, a sweet, sloppy kiss from one of my kids is pretty cool, too. :)
37. FAVORITE DESSERT? cheesecake, or chocolate pie
38. WHO IS MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND? who knows?
39. LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND? who knows?
40. WHAT BOOKS ARE YOU READING? A fantasy novel by Kathryn Kerr. I use a cloth book cover, so I always forget the title of the book I'm reading.
41. WHAT’S ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? I don't have a mousepad; I use a trackball
42. WHAT DID YOU WATCH LAST NIGHT ON TV? Lost, and part of the Nascar race we had saved from last weekend.
43. FAVORITE SOUNDS? My kids singing, laughing, and playing. The way it sounds outside when there's snow on the ground. Even when it's silent, there's a sound. Wind blowing through the tops of trees while standing in a forest.
44. ROLLING STONE OR BEATLES? Both; I absolutely love them both.
45. THE FURTHEST YOU’VE BEEN FROM HOME? Either Fairmont Hot Springs, B.C., or Myrtle Beach, S.C. (I live in AZ; not sure which is farther)
46. WHAT’S YOUR SPECIAL TALENT? I can teach myself just about anything, if I'm interested/motivated enough.
47. WHERE WERE YOU BORN? Austin, TX
48. WHO SENT THIS TO YOU? I snitched it from
