Random List-Killing Time.

My sister has been asleep for two hours. I am playing and enjoying internet access and watching the boats stream on by. To kill time, let me entertain you with a list, stolen off another blog, and made my very own. You may decide that you now know more about me that you've ever wanted to know.

Firsts:
First best friend: Amanda Baker
First screen name: something from my St. Norbert days that I can no longer remember
First self purchased album: I bought 8 cassets for a penny with Columbia House. They included INXS and Janet Jackson.
First pet: We had rabbitts and an aquarium. I think my rabbit's name was Fluffy. Original, huh?
First true love: ?Not sure. First real crush was on Chris Jahnke in 5th grade. Was it love? Probably not.
First enemy: Molly.Morter. She and I had the same leather jacket in 8th grade and she stormed up to me and told me that I had no right to wear it. She also beat me in a student council race because she was more popular than me. And she had a Jeep Wrangler in High School. I hated her and secretly wanted to be her all at once.
First musician you remember hearing in your house: John Denver. My parents would sing, "Sunshine on My Shoulders" to get me to go to sleep. Also the counrty favorites, Alabama, The Oakridge Boys, and one of my personal favorites, Kenny Rogers (in first grade I would sneak a tape recorder with The Gambler out at recess and tell all my friends that I was going to marry Kenny).

LASTS
Last car ride: borrowed a car from my sister's friend, Jesse, this morning and drove it home from the University Campus. Before that it was days since I have been in a car.
Last library book checked out: I have no idea. Something for the girls.
Last movie seen: In the theatre: The John Cusak/Bill Bob Thorton movie that I can't recall the name of (Ice something?). And two nights ago we watched the DVD mockumentary "A Mighty Wind."
Last beverage drank: currently drinking coffee. Had a lovely bottle of Alaskan beer last night.
Last food consumed: a bowl of granola-almond cereal to which I added dried cranberries.
Last phone call: that connected? Talked to my mom this morning. Message: my boss.
Last time showerered: yesterday morning.
Last item bought: funny 2006 sparkly glasses in NYC for my girls to wear on New Year's Eve.
Last annoyance: Can't figure out how to get a photo uploaded into my blogger profile
Last disappointment: My father's idiodic behavior--he preferred to deal with me via email than on the phone. I'll survive though. :)
Last website visited: Jenica's blog.
Last word you said: "Wow, you slept over two hours" (to sister who just awoke from long slumber)
Last song you sang: "Yellow Submarine"
Whats under your bed: the floor. (There is no frame.)
What time did you wake up today: 8:30am West Coast Time

FUTURE
Who are you planning on marrying: A nice man who is funny, smart, and likes to play outside.
What will you name your kids: If I ever have more kids I hope I have at least one boy. What would I name this imaginary kid? Charlie? I have no strong feelings in this department. Nothing 'new agey' though. I hate names like Dakota and Madison...
Where are you going to live: I would like to live in a nice house that has some big trees that is near a medium-sized city. I need to move out of Milwaukee so my kids can get into a decent school system.
How many kids do you want: If I get married and IF my future husband agrees to have more children I would love at least two more. By the time I would actually have these imaginary children Grace and Margaret would be old and I couldn't imagine having only one more kid to be raised essentially as an only child.
What kind of car: No clue. Something with manual transmission. I miss that desperately with the Camry.

CURRENTS
Current mood: rested and calm
Current hair: ponytail and a red baseball hat
Current desktop picture: Mike at a softball game. Best smile ever.
Current color of toenails: left over red from the summer--and my big toe nail has a sexy blue bruise from my recent running habit. I've been told that it will fall off soon.
Current hate: (more like ongoing hate) people who don't think beyond their own lives.
