It’s been 3 weeks of NaBloPoMo. I’ve been faithfully posting at least something everyday. Some are more interesting than others, but I haven’t talked about dryer lint yet, so there’s hope that I will be able to finish the challenge.

Now the prizes. I have never ever ever won anything in my life. Ever. Couple of weekends ago I went to a presentation with a friend, and they were giving away prizes. My friend won something (her raffle # was 95) even though it was something small. The grand prize — a $250 dollar suitcase — was won by someone holding raffle ticket #98. My number? 97. Damnit. Similar thing happened in my senior year Prom. Damnit. I’m just not lucky like that. Damnit. So I would be very surprised, pleasantly of course, if I do win anything from NaBloPoMo.

It’s still good for me to write though, seeing how for most of the last 2 years my brain has been pretty much occupied by laundry, dishes, cooking, poopy diapers, and all the things that babies do and say.

Before you read the meme below, I just realized I have talked just about every role in my subtitle, except the “wife” role. Interesting. I’ll have to recitify that soon. And now for your enjoyment of some useless info about me, I present you a meme that I stole from another blog who’s URL I failed to copy down.

*********

1. Explain what ended your last relationship.
I’m not sure I want to relive the trauma and drama. Could we skip to question 2 please?

Two days ago, on Monday.

3. What were you doing this morning at 8 a.m.?
Asking the older kid for the 200th time to please eat his breakfast.

4. Are you any good at math?
Yes. But haven’t done much besides additions and subtractions.

5. Your prom night, what do you remember about it?
That I didn’t even get a kiss good night. I went with a guy friend who also didn’t have a date. And all the raffle tickets around my number won something, except mine.

6. Do you have any famous ancestors?
Yes. He wrote a book, and still practices acupuncture in San Francisco today. He is over 100 years old! He’s my great grandfather’s brother. Unfortunately my great grandfather passed away much too young at 39 years old.

Root canal. *shudders*

Huh? My butt? You’re kidding.
Ah, our house has a walk-out basement. It’s a huge yard with 1+ acres of rolling hills. Literally a big pain in the back side to maintain.

My brother’s family will be here. So who knows! But we’ll probably stay home, seeing how there’ll be 4 kids under 6.

16. Do you like what the ocean does to your hair?
No.

No.

25. What kind of winter coat do you own?
A sports jacket, lined with fleece and water resistant outer shell that was bought in the Boy’s section in the department store. It was cheap. And it fits me! And it doesn’t have glitters on it. I also own at least 5 other winter coats but they have sort of retired to the boxes for now.

Bright sunshine for both high school and college graduation days. Great memories.
