Thanks Carrie!

I've been meaning to mention this for awhile... but it completely slipped my mind (read, whenever I did think about it - I procrastinated doing anything about it).
Carrie at Mommy Brain gave me an award!
The following text is supposed to be included:
This blog invests and believes the PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships!Hmmm... I don't know that I read eight blogs that qualify.
These blogs are exceedingly charming.
These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement.
Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated.
Please give more attention to these writers!
Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award.
Mommy Brain definitely qualifies.
MCF does as well.
I'll vote for my sister, too.
But all the other blogs I read are Sci-Fi/Geek stuff, and don't really qualify.
Anyway... thanks again for the award! I appreciate it.
Thanks Carrie!
I'm so happy!!

I finally got to do something I've been wanting to do for years!
For some reason this morning, when my alarm went off - I turned it off instead of hitting snooze button a gazillion times like I usually do. As a result, I got up ...a little later than I expected. And oddly, my kids slept in too. Which is okay, because usually they get up way too early anyway - but now it was definitely time to get up and they were all still asleep.
So...
I threw open the doors to their rooms, turned on their lights and started loudly singing:
Rise and Shine
And give God the glory glory!
Rise and Shine
And give God the glory glory!
Rise!
And!
Shine!
And!
Give God the glory glory!
Children... time to get up!
I was so happy!! My kids were all "daaaaaad... zzzzzzz".
I've been wanting to loudly sing them awake with that for years!
.
I'm so happy!!

1) How do you like your grilled cheese?
Crispy, but not burnt. Unless I make it the bachelor way: toast bread in the toaster and when it's done, put cheese between the slices and microwave until it's gooey.
Disney world in 2007, almost exactly a year ago.
Don't have any.
SSDD
Most days: excitedly awaiting Rubi's return home from work.
Speeding? Two I think.
Can't recall.
Roasted chicken, no cheese, lettuce, tomato, salt, pepper.
Not usually very organized - more of an organized mess. Although Rubi and I recently went through our closet and really gave it a nice cleaning and organization.
Ibuprofen or Naproxen Sodium (Advil or Aleve), sleep or naps, sometimes caffeine helps.
Nope.
Don't know. Wherever I could find similar employment. I'd probably look nearby first, within 6-8 hours driving distance to stay relatively close to family. Then I might consider someplace that's else.
I can't remember.
White outer curtain with a clearish inner curtain, no decorations.
I don't think so. I had neighborhood friends, and an active imagination.
Squeeze the chicken really hard.
In the washing machine.
Not a clue. (Also: do you mean to the right if you're looking at my house, or to the right if you're standing in the house?). To my right is an older couple, to my left the neighbors are relatively new, having moved into the house after it was sold and turned into a rental.
FREAK!
Don't really plan on buying anything soon. I'll probably need to replace my car well before we replace our minivan, since we purchased it new last year.
Yes.
CASH or pre-paid credit cards ;-)
Next week? Working my second job and hoping I don't get sick. It seems like every time I work that job, I come home with a cold. The last one was the worst so far and lasted several days.
Dust?
Worked, then came home and did some housework until Rubi was ready for sleep.
I see my coworkers all around the room.
I don't.
ew... I don't know.
E, A, and S.
They almost always remain in my left front pocket until I'm home for the day. Then they go on my dresser.
Usually I'm going to work! In between shifts, I run to my parents to say hi, and then to my in-laws' house for a bit.
37 (oy! I'm getting old).
Used to be, I'd say Danny Devito - but he's getting older now - so I'd probably have to say Jack Black if he could reign it in and behave... otherwise, I have no idea - someone short and fat, but dashingly good looking none-the-less!
ATM, none.
I can't name a favorite movie star... but like that episode of Friends, I'm sure Rubi and I both have our *list*.
Black.
I don't have a pet. If I did have a pet, and the situation was such that food was not forthcoming, I'm sure I would.
No.
A generic Midwestern accent with a hint of southern in it, I'm sure. My sister who lives near Chicago always comments on our accents here when she comes back to visit, and her accent has turned generic Midwest with a hint of northern in it.
Absolutely nothing. We don't drink often enough to actually keep something at home.

If you saw ME in a police car, what would you think I got arrested for?
Answer me in the comments. Let's see what kind of crimes I get accused of!

Rubi just about snorted Gold Fish crackers out her nose when I showed her this most awesome baby onesie.
Hah!

Awwww, his grandma just died. Let's vote for him instead!
Oy.
ETA: The BBC is even asking The Question.
Nice timing...

Not really. There's the whole communing with the dead thing, and then there's the begging aspect...
2) What is your favorite sound effect?
I love the old transformation sound effect from Transformers G1.(Or was this supposed to be a Halloween sound effect?)
3) How do you feel when studios recast roles to different actors in sequels to popular films?
4) Fire or Ice?
...you think you got it all figured out
You're an expert in the field, without a doubt
SPECIAL BONUS QUESTION: Who is Zsaji?
