10-Layer Survey

I stole this from Cynthia… Why does the title make me think of cake?

LAYER ONE: ON THE OUTSIDE
Name: Mommy, the Human Napkin
Birth date: Long ago in a land far away
Birthplace: in the hospital
Current location: my computer chair
Eye color: Brown
Hair color: Brown with more greys coming in every day!
Righty or Lefty: Righty
Zodiac Sign: Don’t keep up with that stuff

LAYER TWO: ON THE INSIDE
Your heritage: I claim Scandinavian
Shoes you wore today: My white New Balance cross trainers. Right now, I am barefoot
Your weakness: Sweets, like cake; currently, the “There’s No Coconut In It” cake. I made one a few days ago and it went away. I miss it.
Your fears: Snakes
Your perfect Pizza: Stuffed crust with sausage, pepperoni, mushrooms, black olives… Oh, just give me a stuffed crust supreme! OR… an alfredo with chicken, bacon and mushrooms from Cici’s. Or, the chicken fajita supreme from the local pizza place (alfredo sauce, fajita chicken, lots of fresh tomatoes and mushrooms). Or, one of my homemade pizzas (with the crust made from scratch, pepperoni, Colby-jack cheese, mushrooms, black olives, seasoned ground beef… yum)

LAYER THREE: YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW
Your most overused phrase on AIM: Hmm, I don’t have AIM
Your thoughts waking up: “Which one is crying?” Or “Oh, good, SuperDad's home”
Your best physical feature: My hair, eyes, or lips. Definitely not my skinny waist or my tiny butt, because those do not exist.
Your bedtime: about 10 or so, depending when Tiny Man crashes
Your most missed memory(ies): Early days with SuperDad and goofing off with Cynthia (like our late-night horror movie marathons where I inevitably fell asleep about 20 minutes into the first one)

LAYER FOUR: YOUR PICK
Pepsi or Coke: Black Cherry Vanilla Coke, but I'd prefer Dr. Pepper, but not the new Berries and Cream kind, because it tastes too much like Robitussin
McDonald’s or Burger King: Hmm, hard one. I’ve seen “Supersize Me,” so McD’s kind of grosses me out most of the time, although the kids love it, so we go there about once every two months. Also, they closed down the local-ish Burger King and I miss it, even though it was super skanky and dirty
Single or Group Dates: If we were to go out, it would be a group date (Me, SuperDad, all the monkeys)
Adidas or Nike: New Balance
Lipton Ice Tea or Nestea: Lipton
Chocolate or Vanilla: Chocolate ice cream/pie/candy bars/chip cookies and Vanilla candles
Cappuccino or Coffee: Coffee, I love the Millstone Chocolate Velvet or French Vanilla from Central Market (both decaf.. woo hoo!)

LAYER FIVE: DO YOU?
Smoke: only when I’m on fire, so no
Cuss: does “dangit” count? Because if not, then I don’t
Single: no
Take a shower everyday: I try
Think you’ve been in love: yes
Like(d) high school: the actual going-to-school kind of sucked, but at that age, church was more important to me, anyway
Want to get married: I am married
Believe in yourself: yes, actually, I do
Get motion sickness: only when I try to read while riding
Think you’re attractive: SuperDad says I am, so yes
Think you’re a health freak: I should be more of one
Get along with your parents: yes, swimmingly (always wanted to use that word!!)
Like thunderstorms: yes, but don’t like being climbed on every time it thunders. Oooh, the other day, we had a very loud lightning strike somewhere near our house at about 4:30 AM. Woke me up.
Play an instrument: I wish I did

LAYER SIX: IN THE PAST MONTH
Drank alcohol: No, last time was a glass of champagne on New Year’s Eve.. made my nose hurt. I generally don't drink alcohol, we just use wine to marinate chicken or make pasta sauce
Gone on a date: No
Gone to the mall: Yes, my mom bought me a couple of rings (One with SuperDad's birthstone surrounded by 6 little CZs, and the other one has three large CZs to represent all three of my kids)
Been on stage: Sort of. I had to do a presentation last week in my Multicultural Education class. Wasn’t actually on stage, but with everyone looking at me, I felt like I was
Eaten an entire box of Oreos: Sadly, no, but I'm going to try that
Eaten sushi: Not that I'm aware of
Been dumped: no
Gone skating: no
Gone skinny dipping: only in the bathtub
Dyed your hair: no, but it looks like someone is dyeing me grey, only one strand at a time
Stolen anything: not unless you count the last of the cake that I ate while the kids were asleep

LAYER SEVEN: EVER
Played a game that required removal of clothing: No, I have not
Been trashed or extremely intoxicated: Never
Been caught “doing something”: No
Been called a tease?: don’t remember
Gotten beaten up: no
Shoplifted: Once, when I was really little, like five or so, I stole some little silver bendable rings from a store. My mom made me take them back and apologize
Changed who you were to fit in: yes, when I was young and stupid, in junior high

LAYER EIGHT: GETTING OLDER
Age you hope to be married: I was 19 when we got married
Numbers of children: 3
Describe your dream wedding: Just like the one I had, with the champagne fountain and everything (even though there was punch in it)
How do you want to die: quickly, when I’m really really old
What do you want to be when you grow up?: ultimately, a college professor
What country would you most like to visit: Italy, or more specifically, Tuscany

LAYER NINE: IN A GAL/GUY
Best eye color?: SuperDad’s eyes are brown, but my kids all have blue/grey eyes, which are gorgeous
Best hair color?: SuperDad’s hair is brown
Short or Long Hair: On me, very long, on my husband, very short
Height: SuperDad is a little bit taller than me
Best first date location: SuperDad and I didn’t really have a first “date;” we just hung out a lot and he came to all my football games when I was in drill team
Articles of Clothing: SuperDad looks best in jeans and a white t-shirt

LAYER TEN: IN THE NUMBERS
Number of people I could trust with my life: Hmm, I have to think about this one… maybe 3 or 4?
Number of CD’s I own: a lot, I’m not going to hunt them all down and count
Number of piercings: I have 2, one in each ear, but I haven’t worn earrings in a loooong time
Number of tattoos: No real tattoos, although I do have a little grey spot on one leg just above my knee from being stabbed with a pencil (some kid stole it and I wanted it back!)
Number of times my name has appeared in the newspaper: A lot, I’m sure. They put our names in the paper every time we made the six-weeks honor roll, then I was in drill team, and every birthday, as well as when I got married
Number of scars on my body: the two major ones are in the same spot… I had hernia surgery in first grade, and when Big Brother was born via c-section, they just cut right over the top of those scars. Also, I have lots on my hands from being careless with a cheese grater, and lots on my legs… one in particular was when I had a scratch, then decided to Nair, at which point that scratch turned into a full-fledged wound, and now it is a giant scar
Number of things in my past that I regret: Not much, I try not to think about it
