Sue is still alive.
And here is a meme to prove it, lifted from the lovely Rachel's page.
A - ACCENT: Southern Californian
B - BREAST SIZE: 38 long
C - CHORE YOU HATE: Making coffee in the morning, because that means there isn't any already made.
D - DAD'S NAME: William. Bill, for short. Also my brother's name.
E - ESSENTIAL MAKE-UP ITEM: Mascara. Otherwise you aren't aware that I have eyelashes.
F - FAVORITE PERFUME: I normally don't wear any, but I love scented shampoos and soaps.
G - GOLD OR SILVER: Silver only.
H - HOMETOWN: Lakewood/Long Beach, California are my birthplace, earliest memories, but I suppose I should say Westminster, CA for fourth grade through sophomore in college.
I - INSOMNIA: Given my age and widowhood, I suppose it's inevitable.
J - JOB TITLE: Grandma, mom, retired teacher. Secretary of everything.
K - KIDS: Three. Four grandkids.
L - LIVING ARRANGEMENTS: I own this house and share it with a kid and her grandkid (Jeff is moving to Pullman to attend college).
M - MOM'S BIRTHPLACE: Ponca, Nebraska, a great place to be FROM.
N - NUMBER OF APPLES YOU'VE EATEN: ...today? None. They aren't in season yet.
O - OVERNIGHT HOSPITAL STAYS: Aside from when I was born, none. I spent the night in a chair in hospitals, though - a couple when Shauna had her appendix out and several when Jeff had his stroke. Also spent a night coaching labor for my sister-in-law. But I never gave birth in a hospital.
P - PHOBIA: I have issues with stinging insects. I also hate feeling unprepared and have dreams about that issue often.
Q - QUEST: Hmmm. I have been thinking I need to be using my remaining time much more wisely.
R - RELIGIOUS AFFILIATION: none
S - SIBLINGS: One awesome brother.
T - TIME YOU WAKE UP: I wake up a great deal during the night and early morning hours. I am up around 8 unless I have something else going on which would have me up sooner. I think if I lived alone I would be up much earlier, since I wouldn't have anyone to awaken by my movements.
U - UNNATURAL HAIR COLORS YOU'VE WORN: Once I had red highlights. Otherwise, it's all me.
V - VEGETABLE YOU REFUSE TO EAT: None, really.
W - WORST HABIT: laziness
X - X-RAYS YOU'VE HAD: Teeth, arm,ankle, chest, mammogram. No breaks.
Y - YUMMY FOODS YOU MAKE: A whole lot. C'mon over.
Z - ZANY QUIRK: Nothing all that zany. I like piles to be neat. I clean up as I cook.
Haven't been spending much time here, as I have gravitated towards Facebook and some of its black holes, specifically political/social issues. Jeff was accepted to Pullman (WSU) and is leaving in a little over a week, having already found a hippie flat and moved many of his belongings there. He and I attended a transfer student weekend event. It's a small college town, and the folks there appear to embrace the students and take care of them. I feel pretty good about his move, and so does he. Jeremie is still looking for work; in this economy, it's extremely difficult for vet assistants to get work, since people are not taking their animals to the vet as frequently, and there is so much competition for the few positions that open up. The grandkids are growing by leaps and bounds.
I should post here more often.
