Given the relative infrequency with which I write these days, you may not have known that I've been away. In California. For the past five days.My mom decided that I needed a real vacation (read: without the little guy) and thought it'd be a nice treat for hubby and I to go away for our anniversary. We just got back last night and jet lag is screwing with me big time. I'm not sure whether to think it's 6 or 9, but it feels like at least 12...
I spent my day dealing with morons who seemed even more idiotic after 5 days of baking my brain with sun and alcohol. I have a stack of work to do, discovery to propound, briefs to write and other stuff that you couldn't pay me enough to look at right now. So instead, I've been trying to catch up on my blog reading and, if Blogger has been feeling cooperative, commenting.
Jen tagged me to answer some truly thought provoking questions. I'm sure she (and the rest of you) are just DYING for the answers. So I won't hold you in suspense any longer. Without further ado...
1. If you could be any fried food, what would you choose?
Well... everything is better dipped in batter and deep fried, right? But I guess I'd have to choose chicken. Since everything else tastes like chicken. Might as well be the original.
2. How come my son can't wipe his own butt at age almost seven?
I sure as hell can't answer this one! My son is two and a half. He steadfastly insists that he "don't need the potty" and rumor has it he's been coerced into using the potty for all of 3 drops at daycare.
But if I have to guess... He's either lazy or knows you'll do it for him?
3. What song makes you suicidal? (for me it's anything by KidzBop)
Anything sung by that awful purple dinosaur... I'd rather listen to the Wiggles all day than Barney.
4. What would you be when you grow up if you were an actual grown up when it was time to decide?
Other than a brief interlude when I wanted to be a ballerina (I'm too short and too busty for that career choice), I've always wanted to be a lawyer. Kind of cool that I have the job I always wanted. Of course, I thought I wanted to do criminal defense and am very happy to avoid that end of the office now. I'm firmly entrenched in the world of corporate litigation.
But if I ever decide not to be a lawyer anymore, it'd be to write. (Yup, I still think about that in all my non-existent free time.)
5. You have a whistle. What do you do?
Put my lips together and blow, of course.
So now I'm supposed to tag a bunch of you guys and ask some questions for you to answer on your own blog.
For this, I'm tagging
Ms. Salti
Mistress Auri
Sarcastically Bitter
Red Shoes
Mr. Condescending
And their questions will be:
1. If you could be any animal, which would you be and why?
2. If you could go anywhere in the world (on someone else's dime, of course), where would you go?
3. You've stumbled over a time machine. Would you go back in time or visit the future?
4. What's your favorite book? (Yup, I'm assuming you read actual books, Mr. C)
5. Everyone has a stupid human trick... (I can touch my tongue to my nose) What's yours?

yay!! I love love love your answers!!
It is good to get away from it all, now and then tho', right?
And as Sam put it to Rodney in "Back to School"; "Good answer!"
Aren't any particular songs that'll make me think of suicide but sure are enough to depress the hell out of me!
And happy anniversary :)
crazy questions...i have the same response to barney...so you had a good time in cali?
Hey you... thank you... I can't wait... :o)
~shoes~
Wow, a real vacation? Sweet!
It's funny that you mention Barney. When my youngest daughter who is now 19.....was 2-3-4 years old, she was hooked on watching that show. To this day, years later, I still have that song stuck in my head; "I love you, you love me, we're a happy family".....
Help me!
It's kinda cool you ended up doing the gig you set out to do, but you sure work hard!
fun quiz. I like your questions better than the ones sent to you altho' I, too, can touch my tongue to my nose.
I love these and am looking forward to reading everyone's responses.
Welcome back to reality but before you forget, tell us about your visit to my fair state.
Thank God my daughter hasn't fallen in love w/ Barney and that they don't play him on NickJr when she's got TV time...though, I can't stand the Wiggles either.
BTW, here is some TMI for you. My first dildo was purple. The bf at the time was intimidated by it and nicknamed it Barney.
The only Barney I ever loved.
Thats it for the Mad Woman's overshare of the day.
Haha . . I think some boys are in their teens before they stop leaving skid marks but that's probably too much information. And how you get Jet lag flying to California, I'll never know. Try flying to Sydney then I'll give you tea and sympathy! Hope you had a wonderful anniversary
Love the answers... And no, I didn't realize until you were halfway through your vacay that you were on vacay. Which part of Cali did you go to? Stay anywhere fun?
Thanks for the tag... I'll do it tomorrow or over the weekend... or next week sometime, who knows!
