Thank goodness Karen tagged me with a meme of sorts and it gave me a quick out for my post for today:
1. Describe yourself in 7 words:
Passionate, silly, dramatic, impatient, fastidious, hard-working, and funny.
2. What keeps you up at night?
My bladder, hot flashes, and worries that are unfounded come daylight.
3. Who would I like to be?
Mike Royko--a former Chicago Sun-Times columnist who just wrote stuff and was hilarious, smart, gruff and current. He rocked.
4. What am I wearing now?
My new jeans, white blouse and sweaty (sweater) that I wore to work today. It's very comfy.
5. What scares me?
Beyond the typical "something happening to my kids", I'm gonna go with spiders. I hate them. Ick.
6. The best and worst of blogging:
The pallies. Dang, they make me laugh. The worst is that I don't have enough time to visit them all each day. And I don't know them in person to hang out and laugh together.
7. The last website I visited:
Do blogs count? I don't remember a real website....uh....maybe YouTube or Facebook or something like that. I haven't had time or money to shop online lately.
8. What is the one thing I would change about myself?
That I would get out and exercise more. I'm feeling flabby and sedentary these days.
9. Slankets: yes or no?
I have absolutely no idea what that is, but it doesn't sound good, so I'm going with "no".
10. Tell us something about the person that tagged you:
I love Karen because she is such a wide variety of things I would never imagine--she always surprises me. I like how she really cares about the kids in her community and volunteers for them. I am impressed that she wrote a book and had it published. I love that she stopped in to see her dad every single morning and then took the bus to work--that is a lot of work before work. She knows a lot about sports and watches "Full Metal Jousting"--which I find just ridiculous, but I find it funny that she and I both watched it. And I love how she and Gerard are just meant for each other and are very sweet together. Mix that all in with the love for her kitties and her dog, and she's just a great pally.
I'm mixing it up and tagging a few old/new pallies to answer these IF they want. No pressure here--we are all about mulligans here at the Duck and Wheel.
1. Silver Thoughts--Heck, she needs a diversion from the wedding plans.
2. Pricilla--It will give her something to do while she's basking in her sun spot.
3. Marg--I wonder if she knows what a 'slanket' is?
4. Diana--This is what you get for beating me in 'Words with Friends'!
5. Bob Warr--He oughta have some good answers for this!

I remember Mike Royko!
You get to wear jeans to work?
#2...you just described my night last night :)!
Blogging pallies are the best of the best and I don't where I would be without them! (Maybe in the local psychiatric facility? And that's not even a joke.)
I'll pass the message along to Bob. No idea how he'll deal with this. He is his own person.
It's nice to have a post like this sometimes to change things up a bit!
I participated! But you'll have to wait until Saturday when I scheduled it to post.
You made me google slanket:)
Awwwwwwwwwww Mike Royko. How I miss his writing.
A persuasive chat with Bob elicited a positive response. He is participating. http://bobwarr.blogspot.com/
I had to google slanket too. I'm right there with ya on #8. I've been trying to talk myself in to starting to exercise too bad things like slankets speak to me louder
Liz--Well, yes and no. I'm still recovering from toe surgery and can't wear heels just yet, so I get a mulligan on the slacks....for now.
Melodie--Hahaha! It's hell to get old, isn't it?
Grace--They are a good bunch. You included, Grace. :)
Vanilla--And that is why I love him.
Nancy--It's one of those busy weeks, so I'm scrambling for posts. EEk!
Silver--Okay! Can't wait to see it!
Mary Ann--I didn't even Google it! What is it?
Helene--Me too. I loved his letters to Royko columns. I loved his answers to the wacky letters he'd get. He was a real "newspaper" guy.
Vanilla--I saw it!! LOVE it!
Ann--Oh, the jeans are getting tighter--it's not good. C'mon spring! I need to get outside to walk and ride my bike!
#2 - Those things keep me awake too!
I like the "My Bladder" answer to the "What keeps you up at night?" question. That reminds me of me.
Lin a slanket is a blanket with sleeves....who knew???
Veronica--Oh, such is the life of a middle-aged woman! ;)
Ratty--Oh, that's funny! So, it's you, me, and Veronica up in the middle of the night??! :P
Mary Ann--Oooooh. Thanks for cluing me in! It doesn't sound attractive, but I'll bet Hobbes would like me to wear one.
Slankets? Is that like a Snuggly? Haha!
xo Catherine
Fun! Always nice to learn more odd factlets about you.
Oh yeah, I forgot about the hot flashes. I get those too sometimes and wake up then.
Thanks for participating. I'm off to visit the blogs you tagged now.
