Stolen meme
Okay, so I got this from Sara, aka the bluecanopy, whose blog I sometimes read and who doesn't know I exist. But Sara, if you ever stumble across this post, thanks. It was fun.
1. FIRST NAME: Nicole
2. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE? Uh...I don’t think so. Was I?
3. WHEN DID YOU LAST CRY? Sunday, in church (in spite of the fact that I really despise crying in public).
4. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? I used to. It’s kind of evolved into this rushed mess of a thing these days, and even when I slow down I can’t get it to look like it did when I first married.
5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? Roast beef from the deli counter, probably because it’s so expensive that I like never have it.
6. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Um, that would be an understatement.
7. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU? Hmm...maybe, if I ever got to know me. Chances are pretty good I’d just refer to me as the lady with ten thousand kids.
8. DO YOU HAVE A JOURNAL? Just this blog.
9. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Not so much anymore. It’s cutting, and I’m trying to be kinder than that.
10. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yep. I think.
11. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? Depends. I was a lot more daring pre-kids.
12. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Crispix.
13. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? No. Which drives my husband insane.
14. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? In what sense? Yes, I tend to think I’m strong, but this belief is interspersed with episodes of crushing helplessness.
15. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? At the moment, Breyer’s Light Mocha Silk something-or-other.
16. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? Their breath. Seriously, I don’t know. Probably the way they carry themselves.
17. RED OR PINK? The lesser of two evils: pink.
18. WHAT IS YOUR LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? My self-absorbancy.
19. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST? I go through these phases of intense, to-the-bone, longing for people. Right now it’s for my high school friends.
20. DO YOU WANT EVERYONE TO SEND THIS BACK TO YOU? Uh, yah. Either email it or post it as a comment, or better yet, start a blog of your own (ahem, Kindra. Kristin too).
21. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES YOU ARE WEARING? White AE boxers with Carribbean colored tropical print, no shoes. Ah, the blessedness of working from home.
22. THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Chocolate milk, does that count?

24. IF YOU WERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE? Some kind of a muted blue.
25. FAVORITE SMELL? Hmmm...that’s a tough one. Here are a few: morning ocean, Elle’s hair when she’s warm, fruit pies baking, lilacs in June.
26. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE? My madre, last night.
27. DO YOU LIKE THE PERSON WHO SENT THIS TO YOU? Well, technically, she didn’t send it to me, I more like lurked around her blog and stole it, plus I don’t know her, but she seems like a decent sort.
28. FAVORITE DRINK: hot chocolate, Mexican style
29. FAVORITE SPORT: soccer (like there's any other sport)
30. HAIR COLOR? boring brown
31. EYE COLOR? equally boring brown
32. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? If I didn’t, I couldn’t be answering this question.
33. FAVORITE FOOD? um...ice cream? steak? I love tortilla soup.
34. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDING? No scary movies for me.
35. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? Bringing Down the House (on video, free from the library. Good thing it was free).
36. WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING? grey
37. SUMMER OR WINTER? Summer, although I really prefer autumn.
38. HUGS OR KISSES? Depends on whose doing the hugging and kissing. Mostly hugs I guess.
39. FAVORITE DESSERT? oh goodness, are you really making me choose? Hmmm...I really like these Dole fruit bars (frozen chunks of fruit) cloaked in dark chocolate...but of course they don’t make them anymore...sigh. And it was even sort-of healthy.
40. MOST LIKELY TO RESPOND? Kristin
41. LEAST LIKELY TO RESPOND? Poley
42. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING? Other than the Bible? Ummm...Blue Like Jazz (or maybe I finished that one...it's been a while)
