3) Like you, only one school (and a Big Ten school, at that!); but it took me 5.5 years to get two degrees. . .
14) San Diego is probably my favorite city in the world (close with Toronto)
19) High school was nice; college was better. Being married to Molly is best of all. . .
22) For me, it would be my dad.
25) Either when 7M got run over by the neighbor's car, or when 1F was beaten and raped. . . Somehow, as a parent, it's worse when those things happen to your kids. . .
26) Good advice. . .
1.) I'm witcha on the evil power co - that's why I've set it up on auto bill-pay, I don't have to think about it in advance each month (just skim the list later & cringe!)
2.) We TRIED to have a romantic dinner last Sat night, but I don't think it went too well..
3.) Two
4.) Shirt?? (It's hot here in TX so I'm currently just wearing a sports bra - I've been cleaning pets' cages!)
5.) I was already up & checking my email since I couldn't sleep
6.) How much P might resent me for not putting out all weekend
7.) Lack of serious responsibilities
8.) Ditto
9.) The problem as I see it is that all of my Real Loves - the true, enduring kind - have possessed 4 legs & fur. But I'm OK w/that.
10.) Kitty litter
11.) I think marriage turns out to be a raw deal for most women, but still a necessary evil to get along in our patriarchal social structure
12.) ??? sorry, too tired to categorize clearly, I pass
13.) No
14.) I want to go BACK to Auburn & finish what I started; guess that's a subject for my own blog post!
15.) If I had to make a choice, I'd choose relationship, since fortunately I'm pretty well entrenched in my chosen career.
16.) Usually I like to bounce plans & ideas off my oldest & dearest friend KK
17.) Nope, way behind in financial planning - at this rate I'll never retire!
18.) Ah yes, my vanished idealism
19.) No way, Jose - now vet school was pretty decent
20.) Galloping my horse
21.) Local park
22.) Yep probably my mom too
23.) Yes, several (again probably a topic for my own blog post(s)
24.) God I hope not!
25.) I feel like taking the Fifth - but it would have been when my ex stuck a loaded pistol in my face during an argument (don't ask)
26.) Ditto
27.) Yes, keep yourself busy & productive
28.) Only one thing?? Geez, you make it hard! but alright, I wouldn't have brought home that big idiot horse Clyde...
29.) Again, there's too much of this rich buffet to select from - but I would have injected my ex-husband w/enough common sense so he wouldn't have adopted a boy vitually Z's same age w/his skanky GF!
Des - 3) Slowpoke! ;-)
19) Awwwwww......
25) Yeah, it is worse when it happens to your kids. . .
Val - How ambitious of you to do the whole list with me!
2) At least you tried. . .
9) I think that's closest to unconditional love in this world. . .
25) Wow. Just wow. . .
