It’s a Meme! Again! You can blame Mocha and Rachel!

1. Flip to page 18, paragraph 4 - in the book closest to you right now, what does it say?
“Even when the penal laws began to be repealed, starting in 1829 with the Catholic Emancipation, life in Dunganstown for the Kennedys barely imporved. Six generations of oppression had taken their toll.”
The Kennedys: America’s Emerald Kings by Thomas Maier. I’ve been on a Kennedy family knowledge hunt. This is the fourth Kennedy biography I’ve read in the last 3 weeks.

2. If you stretch out your left arm as far as possible, what are you touching?
A very hot candle burning on the table! Ouch! I don’t need any more burns!

3. What’s the last program you watched on TV?
Sex and the City. I revisit my boxed sets every so often. I can beat ANYONE. AND I MEAN ANYONE in SATC trivia. Go ahead. Try me.

4. Without looking, guess what time it is.
9:37. It’s really only 9:17.

5. Aside from the computer, what can you hear right now?
My husband, my father and my brothers arguing about football. The t.v. blaring the Notre Dame game.

6. When was the last time you were outside and what did you do?
I went outside today to get the mail.

Black running pants and and orange Old Navy t-shirt. I’m casual. All the time.

8. Did you dream last night? If you did, what about?
I dreamt about Mario Lopez and our dream wedding. Uh oh. I’m already married. Dang.

9. When was the last time you laughed?
20 minutes ago when my sister and I were reading Mocha’s Thanksgiving tales. Then we found this meme and Rachel made me do it right now.

10. What’s on the walls, in the room you’re in right now?
My pictures of cows by Lowell Herrero.

11. Have you seen anything strange lately?
Other than my husband?

12. What do you think about this meme?
I’m only doing it because my sister is sitting right here. Making me.

13. What’s the last film you saw?
The Upside of Anger. Definitely a strange movie. Hey! That could have been number 11!!

14. If you became a multimillionaire, what would you do with the money?
Pay off my debts. My family’s debts. Save some money for my son’s college education…and donate money to Catholic Charities to help less fortunate persons.

15. Tell us something about yourself that most people don’t know.
If I told you, then most people would know, right?

16. If you could change ONE THING in this world, without regarding politics or bad guilt, what would it be?
If I can’t change politics, then I don’t want to change anything.

17. Do you like to dance?
Yep. I do. I really do!

18. George Bush?
Bless his heart. He takes a lot of heat, but never runs out of the kitchen.

19. What do you want your children’s names to be, girl/boy?
If I had a girl tomorrow, I’d like to name her Edyta. This may change.

20. Would you ever consider living abroad?
I’ve wanted to live in Venice, but I hear it’s sinking.

21. What do you want God to tell you, when you come to heaven?
That’s up to God. I hope he tells me I lived life as he wished.

Anyone who reads me. It’s fun! Really! Have a glass of wine and try it!
