Kass, did you know about the "White House Ghost Cat"? Supposedly, when a president dies in office, a black cat (described as large and panther-like) is seen prowling the underground tunnels.
Mom, maybe the altar to Bast is why you have 10 cats!
Just a thought...
1) I'm a student at the local community college. I hope to transfer to a school with a good Education major, as I want to teach.
2) I have a 5 yr. old son, although people have been known to say "How old is he? Seven?" He's very big, and also sharp as a tack!
3)I love video games! Unfortunately, we can't afford a console right now, so the only thing we have is an original Sega that my brothers let my son borrow. I have a few computer games, but they just aren't the same!
4) I hate Winter!! Brrrr.... I like snow, but the cold and the wind don't seem like a fair trade, and here in NC it seems like winter lasts forever!
5)I also love to read, and speed reading runs in my family...we seem to have a speeded up capacity for recognizing words. I like to read most any fiction...except for romance! When I was younger, the only books my mom usually had were romances, and I really burned out on those. I LOVED "Memoirs of a Geisha", and the last really good book I read was "My Life On a Plate" which is like Bridget Jones, only she has some common sense!
6) I hated algebra and math in general as a kid, but now that I'm taking algebra classes as required by my course of studies, I find that I actually have a talent for it. Who knew?!
7) My favorite TV shows are "City Confidential" and "American Justice" because I love true crime tv. I also like to watch boxing on TV... my H got me hooked on it and I actually can make pretty good asessments about what's going on (at least my H thinks I make more sense than now-commentator George Foreman, but I think he took too many shots to the head and it isn't too hard to make more sense than him) Tonight, I will actually be watching "Joe Millionaire" even though I usually hate reality tv, especially "dating" reality tv, but I want to see the reaction of the girl he picks to the news that he's broke!
8)I can't cook very well, but I can really bake and make other kinds of sweets. For Christmas, I made Snickerdoodles and Chocolate-orange pinwheels, and they were delicious. I like to make Chocolate Chip cookies for no reason, just to bake. I can also make pies, cakes, and in my hands the recipe for Hot Chocolate off the side of the Hershey's Cocoa box is the best thing you ever had.
9) Willie and I both love shoes! He loves to smell them and mark them, and I love to go shoe shopping and pair an outfit with the perfect shoes. My best buys were a $5 pair of hot pink sandals at Wal-Mart that turned out to match one of my skirts perfectly, and a pair of calf-high Sketchers tan boots... they were only $50, and they actually zipped up over my calves (I would like to have a talk with the clothing companies who think that women shouldn't have big calves or rear ends or tummies...I am a babe, and a curvy one!)
10) I am close to finishing my first quilt, as soon as my aunt teaches me how to bind it off (sew the edges shut in a way that the edge of the fabric doesn't show). My next one is for my son's bed, and I have all the fabric ready. It's going to have a brightly colored monkey in the middle of every square, because that's our nickname for him, "Monkey".
Whew... hello Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
