Frozen Tundra Heats Up

The Frozen Tundra is not a subtle place. It is a place of extremes. Bitter cold in the winter (9 months of the year, roughly) and hot, humid and "damp" the other part of the year. We have moved now into the hot, humid and "damp" part of the year. Rain, Tornado Watches & Warnings and all that lovely stuff. Still, I'd rather deal with the discomfort that hot & humid brings than the bone chilling that the bitter cold brings.

In garden news... We have an itty bitty tomato growing! And lots of flowers on the plants! Yay!

I had an idea of what I was going to post tonight while I was at work today, but darn if I can remember now what it was. It was brilliant, whatever it was. (You'll have to trust me on this)

I guess I'll go with my rule breaking form last week and do the Sunday Stealing Meme on Wednesday!

1. What thing is nearest to you ? My laptop

2. What is your ringtone ? I have a few for special people, the default is one that came with the phone.

3. What was the last message in your inbox ? Probably a "Hulloo Zeeba Neighba!" scam email

4. Who is your best friend ? I'm actually working on being my own best friend right now. I know that sounds incredibly self-centered, but I tend to get caught up in who I am to other people so it's important I get a little better acquainted with myself.

5. What is the brand of your TV ? I haven't owned a TV in over 3 years.

6. What schools did you attend? Shattuck - St. Mary's (which is a co-ed college prep HS) and 1 year at the U of M

7. Do you own a MP4 ? No

8. What song are you listening to now ? Not listening to any music

9. Did you kiss anybody in the past 2 days ? Yes

10. Have you ever kissed someone you met in the blogosphere? Someone I met ONLINE, yes. But not from the blogosphere.

11. What would you want to be called if you weren't your current name ? I like the name Alura Delorean.

12. Would you be happy if you had everything ? Yes and no... Actually, I don't think you can ever have EVERYTHING. But to not have to struggle so hard would be nice.

13. Are you always thinking of someone special? I'm not obsessive in that way.

14. Tell us of your most desperate dream? I'd love to be able to be debt free. I'd settle for being able to qualify for a consolidation loan with enough extra to be able to move.

15. When did you last laugh till you cried? I think Willow did something one night that made me at least laugh til my stomach hurt.

16. If you had a crush, would you tell them you love him/her now ? No. I'm sortve "over" romance.

17. If you could be anywhere in the world now, where would you want to be ? My own home somewhere warm. (Somewhere that has a nice climate year-round, meaning NOT THE FROZEN TUNDRA!)

18. When was your heart last broken? Last Friday when I came home to find Greg the Bunny had passed away.

19. Whose birthday(s) is/are coming up? Crissy the QOFE, Ben's Newf... those are the 2 I remember right off

20. How many email accounts do you have? At least a dozen


I have an idea for TMI Thursday, too. But I need to get a picture so we will see if it actually ends up happening this week.
