I liked this “meme” so much I decided to do it myself. Mainline Mom tagged “everyone.” So do I. The trick to this one is to fill in the sentence after the dash with the first thing that comes into your head. It’s harder than you think.
I know – the first line of The Aeneid in Latin. It used to be the first four lines, but my retention has suffered over the years.
I believe – the children are the future.
I fought – the law and the law won.
I am angered – by unfairness and unaccountability.
I love – to write.
I need – to put more pictures up on the blog.
I take – naps as much as possible.
I hear – my neighbor’s dog barking every night between 8 and 9 for at least half an hour.
I drink – gin and tonics and pinot grigio.
I hate – having dirty dishes in the sink and clutter on my counter and table tops.
I use – toxic cleaning products. I am newly worried by this.
I want – a pretty, landscaped front yard.
I decided – to become less type-A after Kyle was born. How am I doing?
I like – big butts and I cannot lie.
I feel – bloated.
I wear – flip flops in the summer, so often that my arches suffer.
I left – CT to find my fame and fortune. I found neither, but something so much better: my own little family.
I do – NOT have an answer for this one.
I hope – my child continues to be healthy and normal.
I dream – of moving back to CT.
I drive – with a constant paranoia that I am going to be hit.
I listen – to Jack FM on my drive to work.
I type – because of Sr. Ernestine in high school.
I think – hard, all the time, even when you can’t tell.
I need – some food right now.
I wish – I had one of those bodies that bounced right back after childbirth.
I am – menstruating.
I compensate – for shouting at my husband by helping him with stuff.
I regret – missing the weddings of Matt and Michelle, Chris and Danielle, and Lisa and Andrew.
I care – too much about strangers who are killed accidentally.
I should – exercise more.
I am not always – patient. (HAHAHAHA that is the understatement of the century, I know you are ALL laughing, too.)
I said – I would not wear sweatpants to work. You don’t know how close I am to breaking that promise.
I wonder – if I would have liked being a doctor.
I changed – careers when I was 25.
I cry – pretty much every day.
I am not – good at writing fiction. That pisses me off.
I lose – the same 3 pounds and gain it back again at least once a week.
I leave – my work at work. That’s where it should stay.
Good list! Thanks for playing. Yeah that’s what is fun about bloggers is finding how many things you have in common and then exploring the differences! Yes I’m pregnant with #2 but not really saying it outright on the blog because I haven’t told my boss yet and even though he doesn’t read the blog I know he once had the address. Soon enough I will be sharing every little detail.
So what’s this baby show you write for?
I dream – of moving back to MA.
The cure to sweatpants at work:

A little expensive but the best pants ever!
Nicely done.
Excuse my ignorance, but what the heck is a “meme”?
Tina, you still never told me what an avatar is. But I’ll tell you: a “meme” is a Me! Me! All about me!
P.S. I didn’t mentioned YOUR wedding because that wasn’t my fault. Stupid terrorists. The weddings I missed by choice are the ones I regret.
I am impressed that you leave your work at work….that is a personal goal of mine. I liked this list, these are the kinds of things that pull out little tidbits of odd things from your memory that help others to learn about you….
Here is the web site for non-toxic cleaning products:

Stupid haloscan keeps closing without publishing my comment. For the third time…
“Avatar” originally comes from Hinduism where it means the physical manifestation of a higher being on Earth. In virtual reality or in an online community it refers to the picture or image you use to represent yourself.
Stupid terrorists. But, I admit, I didn’t even think of my own wedding when I read that. It seems so long ago!
LOL I thought I couldn’t answer this because of the song lyrics that kept coming into my head. It’s great to see you thinking the same way!
Good one Kim! I hope you took time away from your job to do that too. That’s what work is for, taking a break. God, I need a job. Help me!!
This one goes to 11.
Twelve!
I did the meme.
😛
Hey there. Thanks for the comment. I love that you used songs for “I believe” and “I fought” here too — I admit that the first thing I thought of for “I fought” was “the law and the law won.” So I made a new rule — the first non-song-lyric thought. You’re right — it was harder than I thought it would be.
