The weather was perfect here for once. Rhi & I took Griffy on a very long walk through a local wooded wetland reserve...it was wonderful. Had a pork rib dinner waiting in the crock pot. Then my a-hole husband managed yet again to hurt my feelings.

1. When you feel the urge to sneeze, do you hold it or let it go? Let it go into my arm. 2. When was the last time you held hands with someone? yesterday 3. Do you hold in your emotions or let them out? PMS week those babies FLY...been holding in a lot of emotion around the house lately to avoid arguments, I cry in the shower now. 4. If you play blackjack or poker, are you more likely to hold or fold on any given hand? 5. In general, can you hold your tongue? When you have a secret? When someone says something you don't agree with? In general, sure, although not if it is something I feel strongly about and at times I swear my mouth starts before my mind has a chance to catch up. I can keep quite a few secrets. 6. Take this quiz - How Sarcastic Are You? You're Totally Sarcastic You sarcastic? Never! You're as sweet as a baby bunny. Seriously, though, you have a sharp tongue - and you aren't afraid to use it. And if people are too wimpy to deal with your attitude, then too bad. So sad.

Most of them are on a disk.

1. Right now, what are you set on? Immediately? getting these kids out to the bus on time. 2. What one thing do you have to do right, otherwise it just drives you nuts? So many things, not quite to the point of OCD. I need to have the checkbook in balance to the penny for one. 3. Do you have any kids? Yes, Jordan-13, Rhiannon-11 and Griffin-6 4. Are you a patient person? Not usually but I have gottne better. 5. Friday fill-in: I know if I put my mind to it getting out of this marriage will happen.

I'm not sure I need it to sleep, but Griffin is on an Oxygen concentrator every night that makes noise and I am used to hearing it.

...and now I have that song "I Would Walk 500 Miles" running through my head: But I would walk 500 miles And I would walk 500 more To be the man who walked 1,000 miles To fall down at your door

Woke up with a little Will Hoge playing in my head, "Highway Wings": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L0oAWp-Ia_Y

^mmmm ... with little pieces of bacon mixed in the batter.

Waffles are good!

I've tried to collect my thoughts...but they always seem to escape me!

Depends on the food item & what floor it falls on..."real" food goes to the trash but if I drop an M & M or a pretzel at home I'll eat it.

Family secrets are one thing, recipes-why not share?

Yes...just a pain in the ass, it doesn't change what I do each day.

Please keep us healthy in the dreaded coming winter.

Kleenex..my husband works for SCA Tissue so we always have a case of toilet paper, napkins & paper towel in the basement.

What some see as 'luck' others take for granted in many situations.

Raising property taxes this year.

No..unless you consider the coffee maker in that catagory.

A wisdom tooth pulled.

1. Have you made any Halloween plans? Making cupcakes & carving pumpkins, the kids will trick or treat. 2. At what age should you stop trick-or-treating? My son is 13 and still going, I think he should be done but he is still immature, so as long as he puts effort into a costume go ahead. 3. What's your favorite kind of Halloween candy? The mini-chocolate bars 4. Are you more likely to buy a costume or to make it? make it...going to have a hippie, a skate punk and a milkshake this year. 5. Will you be handing out candy to the trick-or-treaters? Yes...the kids are big enough to not want mom & dad walking along with them all night.

No...it just isn't a nice habit. My daughter is always being scolded about doing that.

Maybe not 'ghosts' as in the Hollywood version, but I think there are spirits among us. My parents swear they had visitors in a house they lived in, lot of strange happenings in that place, although not that I witnessed. An old lady died years ago in the house we live in, I've never seen or felt her presence. Real life tends to scare me more.

Steady until PMS arrives-then watch out!

I voted there is a chance as with anything else in life. Maybe a smaller tour- not sure how many more years the old guys have in them to hit it hard though.

No...I did see the Hollywood Rock Walk many years ago.
