1. What's your personal clothing style...trendy or classic?
Um, neither.

2. Do you shop for designer names or stick with the more generic brands?
Whatever's cheaper and fits.

3. Work clothes: dressy or casual?
Casual.

4. Days off style: dressy or casual?
Casual.

5. Women: high heels or flats? Men: Wing-tips or work boots?
Flats - there's a reason your feet hurt in heels.

6. Do you have a large wardrobe, or just a few carefully selected pieces?
Just a few pieces that I wear until they wear out.

7. Do you shop for clothing at stores or from catalogs/internet?
Since I want to try it on first, stores.

8. Are most of your clothes dry-clean only or machine-washable?
Machine-washable. I refuse to buy anything that has to be dry-cleaned.

9. You buy an article of clothing and realize it is all wrong for you when you get home. Return or keep it?
Return it.

10. Hats: yes or no?
No.

1. What is your lineage? Where are your ancestors from?
I know I've got German roots. I know I've got some kind of American Indian blood in me, but I'm not sure of the tribe. Other than that, I have no clue. Someday when I'm rich and have some free time (LOL), I want to trace my roots.

2. Of those countries, which would you most like to visit?
I really would like to visit Germany someday. Especially since Marucs was a German citizen when I met him (he's now a naturalized U.S. citizen). I know he wants to return to the homeland to visit.

3. Which would you least like to visit? Why?
N/A

4. Do you do anything during the year to celebrate or recognize your heritage?
Can't say that I do. I don't really identify with them. I'm an American, plain and simple, therefore I celebrate that.

5. Who were the first ancestors to move to your present country (parents, grandparents, etc)?
I have absolutely no idea. Like I said, someday I'll check it out.

IF DR SEUSS WAS A WOMAN

I'm glad I'm a woman -Yes I am, yes I am.
I don't live on Budweiser, Beer nuts and Spam.
I don't brag to my buddies about my erections;
I won't drive to Hell before asking directions.

I act nice at parties; don't act like a clown;
And I know how to put the damn toilet seat down.
I won't grab your boobies; I won't pinch your butt.
My belt is not hidden beneath my beer gut.

I don't go around re-adjusting my crotch;
or make sure my headboard bears each hard-earned notch.
I don't belch in public; don't scratch my behind.
I'm a woman, you see- I'm just not that kind!

I'm glad I'm a woman; So glad I could sing--
and thrilled I'm not covered in shag carpeting.
Hair won't grow from my ears, Or cover my back.
And when I bend over You can't see my crack.

I'm a woman, alas-- and I'm proud, don't you see?
I'm blessed to have two boobs and squat when I pee.
I don't live for golf, or shoot basketball.
I don't swagger and spit like a Neanderthal.

I don't need male bonding; I don't cruise for chicks--
I'll never join the "Hair Club", or think with my dick.
I'm a woman, by chance And thankful I am!
I'm so glad I'm a woman, Not a man, yes I am!

Ursa is not doing well. Marcus noticed that she hasn't been eating. It got to the point where she wouldn't eat a Meaty Bone dog treat or even her favorite ice cubes. I half exected to find her dead when I got home today. I've been a wreck the last couple of days. I stopped at PetSmart on the way home from work today and bought some small dog treats, some vitamins, and a couple of cans of soft dog food. I ran the hard dog food through the coffee grinder, mixed it up with a can of soft stuff, and have been spoon-feeding her all afternoon. She actually just ate a cookie, too. I hope she just had a little bug or something. She keeps losing control of her back legs, though. I hope that's just from being weak from not eating and the heat. I had to pick her up again to get her back in the house when she went out to go potty. I can tell she's lost a lot of weight. If she gets over this hump, I'm going to have to have Marcus help me build her a ramp to get in and out. I don't think she needs to be dealing with those stairs all the time.

She seems a lot perkier than yesterday. All she wanted to do was sleep on the comforter I put on the floor for her. Today she actually begged for a piece of the hamburger I made myself for lunch. I know she's an old dog, but I'm just not ready to let her go yet.

When I got to work on Tuesday, neither store had enough stuff on hand for me to do the prep I was supposed to do. I got to sit on my ass for over two hours while I waited to go to school. I wish I had had my laptop on me. I couldn't even start on this week's school project because it hadn't been assigned yet. I knew generally what to do and jotted down a few ideas, but couldn't actually start it as the format hadn't yet been discussed. So, I haven't gotten caught up yet on prep and I don't really care. If I don't get caught up until Saturday, so be it. Losers.

Well, guess I better get back to my school work. We have to make storyboards for television commercials for Campbell's soup. Whee!!! We have to complete two, I'm still on my first one, and our final exam is on Friday as well. No sleep for me the rest of the week. Yay!
