What's your worst habit?

Let's see.  I recently ruptured a salivary gland in my lower lip.  This happens when you bite the same area too often and too hard.  So I had surgery to have the weird bump inside my lip removed.  Within 4 days I had chewed out all my stitches.  Now I have a gross little hole in my lip, which may heal properly someday if I ever stop playing with it.

Need I go on?

What's the best April Fools' Day prank you've witnessed today?

I wanted this product to be real.

What superpower would you most like to have?

Hamster Food Pouches in my cheeks.  For serious.  How often do you see a superhero out fighting crime AND able to stop for a cheeseburger?  Iron Man wishes he'd had them when he was trapped in the Middle East!

Another favorite option is the Go-Go-Gadget Arm.  Sure, if I could stop time then I could be lazy about getting things done.  But I'd still have to get up off my ass to do anything.  With a go-go-gadget arm, I'd never need to move again. Blissful!

Today is "Be Humble Day." What in your life are you most humble about?

On Sunday I sang a short solo at my church during the Bach Mass in A major.  I didn't invite any of my non-church going friends cuz I feared I would fail and they would hate me.  Also, I hadn't sang a solo in public in about a decade.  And I sang it for 400 people.  I cried during the previous rehearsal, so actually singing on Sunday was a miracle. 

Wait.... is this humble or stage fright? 

Yeah, I feel like I have a talent, sure, but not enough of one to make 400 people listen to me! just me! even for 30 seconds.  It was terrifying.  I hope our director doesn't volunteer me again.

... And yet, part of me hopes she does.  The non-humble diva part.

Snowball fights, hot cocoa by the fire, and sleigh rides... What's your favorite thing about winter?

That today is my birthday!  And The Swashbuckler made me this:

I might have to marry him...

Which new friendship formed in 2008 is the most special to you? How did that person come into your life?

Give yourself a pinch, Jessie-Poo.  Cuz you are amazing and I love you.

The election is a week from today, who are you going to vote for?

I already voted.  I pushed the button for this guy.

If you could choose your own name, what would it be?

I hated it when my sister called me Ricki. 

I was almost named Marlena.  Yes, for Deidre Hall. 

I still go through phases where I like to be called Ed or Edie.

But, of course, my favorite is little ineb.

What’s a simple thing you could do to save money, but are unwilling (or unable) to put to practice?

Cooking.  If only my mother had taught me to cook-- not only how to make food that is tasty, but the practice of doing it every day regardless of your mood or energy level.  If I had learned that, or would force myself to learn it now, I'm certain I could cut my spending in half... well, maybe a third.  Whatever.  A lot, for sure.

What are your neighbors like? (The ones you live near or next to, not the ones in your Vox neighborhood!)

How timely this question... so last night I discovered why the neighbor children have not been taught the difference between my yard and their yard, or my deck and their deck... cuz their mother doesn't know the difference either.  While chasing her children back and forth across the yards, she too tromped across my deck several times, right past my back door, the one that leads into my kitchen, where I was cooking dinner.  It was annoying.  I'd say something to her, but she is always angry....

So after half a dozen times of passing my door while cussing (to herself, her children, her husband-- who knows?) she was so distracted she actually opened the door and walked into my kitchen. 

Yes. 

I turned from my stove, said "Excuse me?" and she ran out apologizing. 

I was unnerved.  I guess boundary violations is the theme in my little world lately...

Also, have a mentioned lately our bedrooms share a wall?  Yes.  Either I need to learn to enjoy voyeurism, or I need a better stereo system.  Cuz that woman is loud whether she is angry or... um, happy.
