Well now, look who grabbed the pole position and I even stayed up until <shock, horror> midnight last night
Today's Question: How good are you at remembering names? Horrible -faces, yes, names. Ran into a guy Friday at the grocery store that I KNOW I know; well enough he gave me a kiss on the cheek. Couldn't have pulled his name out if you put a gun to my head
Have you ever gotten caught not remembering someones name? This happens so much I'm the absolute queen of evading getting nailed.
Extra Credit Question: What's on your to-do list that you'd really want to get done today?
Well I "really" don't want to do anything, but since I pretty much did that yesterday LOL, need to answer some emails and figure out a place for my large rack of hanging clothes to go. Shredder has decided he now wants to jump up on the clothes and try to pull them down. The night/morning he pulled down my Peter Forsberg AVS jersey in the Swedish colors that was one of the few things I brought with me from Colorado, well . . . let's say for him to be allowed back in the bedroom I have to reorganize my second bedroom AGAIN.
Be honest now, will you get it done? All I can say is that I am going to try lol
Bonus Question: Where did you go on your last day trip? Oh! Course was biz related, but went over to Volcan with clients to look at a large development parcel they had. They paid all of my expenses and it is beautiful over there so was great.
Of course, this was around a year ago
Just for Fun: Do you have a stash of snacks somewhere? If so, is it the same old thing or do you "mix it up"? I wouldn't have to stash them if it wasn't for the boy, but pretty much the norm - lots of chips and popcorn. My favorite snack foods - I will though pick up some M&Ms when I think of it at the store (and still have a few frozen cookies left that my friends sent me last Christmas). Haven't died or gotten sick yet when I've pulled a few out to munch on, so they must still be good.

Word of the Day: gormandize \ GAWR-muhn-dahyz \ , verb; 1. To eat greedily or ravenously. Yes boy, I'm looking at you while I answer this. You'd swear this cat hadn't eaten in weeks the way he throws food everywhere - he eats kibble like he's tearing apart meat and I've had him since 4 1/2 weeks so not sure why he does this.
Today is: Be An Angel Day Southern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo Day
Never cheat, but I had no clue. I'm definitely in the Western Hemisphere, but would/should be in either North or South too. Every article I read said that Central America straddles the equator and I did go to 3 sites; however, maps I looked at showed it in South America, so I'm going to "guess" I'm in the Northern Hemisphere, barely. Guess that makes me a Hoodie-Hoo Angel
Location: Moved to town. Miss 'my' woods and critters.

Good morning all and Happy Sunday!! Thank you GG for doing the QOD
How good are you at remembering names? I'm better at names than numbers but I'm not great.

Be honest now, will you get it done? Yes.
Where did you go on your last day trip? Hmm, not many of those. It was about a month ago to VA to go to Sam's Club.

How good are you at remembering names? I'm pretty good I think, I don't forget too often. Have you ever gotten caught not remembering someones name?
Umm, kinda. I don't remember any really bad ones, but I did draw a blank sometimes in school working with other kids I barely knew, I'm pretty good at talking without having to use names though. I have had to ask before, but it wasn't so bad cause I usually barely knew the people anyway.
Extra Credit Question:
What's on your to-do list that you'd really want to get done today? I wanted to start playing my game that I wanna beat before school starts this weekend, but I don't think I'll get the chance.
Be honest now, will you get it done? No, I don't think so, I'll probably have to wait til Wednesday. And at that point I'll only have 7 days left before school.

Just for Fun:
Do you have a stash of snacks somewhere? If so, is it the same old thing or do you "mix it up"? I wish I had a stash somewhere, it's usually just stuff I hate in the house. If we buy something I like I eat it up pretty quick lol.
Today's Question:
How good are you at remembering names? Try as hard as I might, I'm not good at it.
Have you ever gotten caught not remembering someones name?Last weekend my son stopped by with his new girlfriend. She introduced herself, but I was playing more attention to her tattoos instead. Sooo when they left I said it was very nice meeting you but can't remember your name and thats when my wife (ex) spoke up and said you shouldn't have too much problem remember it... its the same as your girlfriends.... oops
Extra Credit Question:
What's on your to-do list that you'd really want to get done today? I've got a couple sheets of sheetrock to install and get it ready for painting.
Be honest now, will you get it done? actually yes... and maybe a few more things

Just for Fun:
Do you have a stash of snacks somewhere? If so, is it the same old thing or do you "mix it up"? my stash is at work in my toolbox. My co-workers stop by it and indulge once in a while. At this time its Salted peanuts in the shell and also Nestle's Crunch Bars snack size.

How good are you at remembering names? Used to be really good... but those brain cells are dying off at a rapid rate.
Have you ever gotten caught not remembering someones name?
Yes, more often than I care to admit... but "Hey there!", said with a smile works quite well.
Extra Credit Question:
What's on your to-do list that you'd really want to get done today? Sort out my CD collection so I stand a reasonable chance of finding what I'm looking for.
Be honest now, will you get it done? Hmmm, maybe not... it's been on the To Do list for several days already.
Bonus Question:
Where did you go on your last day trip? I take long-distance visitors out for the day... to the beach, to the hinterland, maybe the rain forest... just round and about.
Just for Fun:
Do you have a stash of snacks somewhere? If so, is it the same old thing or do you "mix it up"? Chocolate is my snack of choice... and there's always some around the place.Matter of fact, I'm feeling a little snackish right now!

Just for Fun: Do you have a stash of snacks somewhere? Yes --- in what I call my "kitchen". If so, is it the same old thing or do you "mix it up"? I don't eat the same thing every day of my life. Well, I mean...how else am I supposed to answer that? Today in History: 565 – St. Columba reports seeing a monster in Loch Ness, Scotland. 1901 – Cadillac Motor Company is founded.Oh. 1902 – Theodore Roosevelt becomes the first President of the United States to ride in an automobile. So what X2. 1906 - The Victor Talking Machine Company of Camden, NJ began to manufacture the Victrola. The hand-cranked unit, with horn cabinet, sold for $200. 1949 – Queen Charlotte earthquake: Canada's largest earthquake since the 1700 Cascadia earthquake Without the magnitude being given, that has about as much impact as the World's Biggest Pizza. 1989 – The first ring of Neptune is discovered. 1989 – Nolan Ryan strikes out Rickey Henderson to become the first Major League Baseball pitcher to record 5,000 strikeouts. Yeah, I heard that the first ring of Neptune was in alignment with the dugout at that time. Coincidence? I think not! Word of the Day: gormandize \ GAWR-muhn-dahyz \ , verb; 1. To eat greedily or ravenously. I gormandize every chance I get. Today is: Sunday Be An Angel Day Awww....o-kay..... Southern Hemisphere Hoodie-Hoo Day What the heck is "Hoodie-Hoo"? Anyway, stuff like hoodies are or were against the law here. I love wearing hooded sweatshirts in the winter. Isn't there a "Mount Hood" somewhere? I remember seeing "Hood" written on an Ice Cream Truck. I raised my truck's hood twice last week. Does a Robin appear to be wearing a dark hood?....they're not often seen in my neighbor hood. Hoo would figure? Thanks for the interrogation of the day ...and the fun. Good Sunday to all you good people...but a crappy week ahead for the morons that catch a fish and then do things like throw it down on the pavement or stab it for fun, leaving it die. I hate those people.

Just for Fun: Do you have a stash of snacks somewhere? If so, is it the same old thing or do you "mix it up"? Not really.
