What three qualities do you look for in a partner?
Submitted by Tenor Bob

1) PATIENCE. Because hell, I don't have it & I'm so stubborn in many ways. Luckily my husband is very patient with me hehe

2) ATTRACTIVE. I'd be lying if I said "looks don't matter", because they do. You'd have to be physically attracted to your partner!

3) FAMILY ORIENTED. 'Nuff said :)

What were you afraid of when you were younger that seems silly to you now?

Cockroaches.  Let's just say I'm not deathly afraid of them but I at least have the courage to step on them now unlike before.  hahaha...

If you could be featured in a magazine which one would you choose?

I would choose this magazine:

Workingmom

Since it's late and I got nothing better to do, I'll write another fluffy entry.  I'm proud of myself. I didn't use paper or plastic at the grocery store today.  I actually used all 4 of my accumulated tote bags. hahaha...  I really  hate grocery shopping but this kinda makes it better.  I even got 24 cents off my entire purchase (6 cents per bag).  I think that's better compared to other stores where they only take out 5 cents from your whole purchase no matter how many tote bags you bring.  Here's to being greener. =)

OK this is a totally fluffy entry (just a warning).  I need to buy a portable hard drive so I can backup all my files in one place.  We have two right now that we use to backup things in general but I want my own.   Something where if I need to access some web stuff files, music, videos and other documents, I know where to go.  I need to reorganize.  I think I'll check Best Buy later.  

Boy am I glad I don't work for the State right now.  I hope the legislators end up with minimum wage also so they'll get their butts to work on the budgets.  I don't get it.  Why do people who aren't at fault have to pay for it?  They need to lock up the legislators until they come up with the budget.  Shoot, that's what they do to the cardinals when they decide the next Pope.

Some foods I'm currently enjoying:

All this talk about Twilight again (after months of dead silence about it) is making me wanna get Breaking Dawn when it comes out.  I shall resist---maybe.  Unless Costco or Target has a decent price for it.

Who inspires you to be the person you are today?

Call it cheesy, but I would say my husband and my kids. I think I've changed SO much from how I used to be in the past. But I can admit, I still have some of the "old" me lingering within, but usually something triggers that monster to come out! Hahaha. But no, seriously, having my husband and my kids make me into a better person inside and out.

What part of your childhood do you miss the most?
Submitted by Maretta.

I think being a child, period. Not having to worry about "adult" responsibilities (bills, working, and other important things). I miss just having to worry about what time I can play outside!
