Time for...*drum roll please*.. the Monday Mission 2.40


1. I just got back from a family reunion. It was ok, but I find those gatherings a little boring. Does your family ever have any reunions or annual get-togethers? Do you enjoy them? Um... reunion.... hmmm... last one was like.... 17 or 18 years ago.. we get together the obligatory once or twice a year for holidays. Sometimes I enjoy them... depends on if anyone is fighting or if anyone is trying to make the who 'experience' into something it isn't. It's best if they just let things happen.

2. A gal I work with told me that when her husband's drivers licsence comes up for renewal, she swipes it. She says he won't ever pose for pictures and that's the only way she can get a photo of him. Is that not creepy? Are you a picture person? Do you like taking photos, and having yours taken? I'm like a canned ham. I love pictures and I love having my picture taken.... well since I lost 40 lbs. I do now.

3. Time for show and tell: post a recent photo of yourself! since you insist! This was me yesterday!

4. I have a cousin I always knew as Jay. As he got into college, he began to go by Greg. Turns out is name was Greg, Junior. Jay was short for Junior! Can't blame him for changing it. Did you ever have a nick-name growing up? How did it come about? Did you ever give anyone a nickname that stuck? Yup, mom called me Pudy... she rhymed it with Judy... Judy Pudy... It's been shortened to Pooh now. I like that MUCH better. Hmmm.. yup.. I'm bad about giving people nick names. Started calling a friend Petey a long time ago.. and that stuck. LOL

5. Since I don't have cable, a friend promised to send me a few episodes of "Trading Spaces," the show where folks redecorate someone else's home (and I'm still waaaaiiiting on that tape). But that got me to thinking about how I'd change my own house if I were able. And the room I'd do first would be the bathroom. If you could design the bathroom of your dreams, what would it be like? Spare no expense! hmmm.. huge garden tub, but a BIG shower also... a lot like what I had at my house.. just bigger tub and a bigger shower...

6. I've been trying to catch up on the early seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer in re-runs, though I've been told to buy the DVDs. But I think I'd rather borrow them if I could. But there are a few television shows I'd like to own on DVD (like "The Flash" and "Max Headroom"). What shows (if any) do you own in a video collection? What TV shows would you like to see collected on DVD or video? Hubby has some of the Star Trek stuff. We'd both love 'Far Scape' (which is being cancled! whaaaa!!!!)

7. I recently watched "Chitty-Chitty Bang-Bang" again, first time since I was little. It held up pretty well, unlike some movies that are better in your memory than they are when you see them again (like "E.T." good movie, but for me, better as a memory). Do you have any favorite movies from your childhood? Do you think you would still enjoy them if you watched them today? Wizard of Oz - I watch it about once a year. I do love that so much. But I realize there are many movies that are better left as fond memories, so I don't seek out to many 'great movies from childhood'. LOL

BONUS: Don't you know you're sleeping in a spotlight? Sleeping in it? Hell I live in the spotlight! yeah baby, I'm a star!

Today's comment question: What relaxes you? *nervously looks around* why do you ask? Do you think I need to relax? Is that what you are saying? I'm high strung? who the hell do you think you are? I'm not high strung... Just back off man... *nervously looks around again... chugs last of coffee...*
