Another MeMe

I have 15 minutes to kill before I have to pick up Liz from work, Nick is sitting on the potty playing a video game, so what the hey.. Might as well do this!  :) 

I got this from Dawn, who got it from Sin, who got it from : Russ  Feel free to copy and paste and play along!

1. WERE YOU NAMED AFTER ANYONE?  No, but I almost got named after my aunt Aida.  Could you imagine what torment my life would have been if my father let my mom name me Aida?  "Hi, my name is Aida Costa."  Eeek.  My dad thought the name was too old-fashioned, so they let my brother name me.  Thank you Eddy.  I think I was named after "Julie" from the Mob Squad. 

2. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CRIED? Hmm..  Luckily, I don't remember when.  I think this a good thing. 

3. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? It's alright.  People can read it still, so this is good.

4. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LUNCH MEAT? I don't like meat very much, but if I had to decide on a lunch meat, it would have to be either dry salami or thin sliced ham. 

5. DO YOU HAVE KIDS? Yes.  I have a 18 yr old daughter, a 16 yr old step-son, a soon to be 13 yr old son, and a 3 1/2 year old son. 

16. IF YOU WERE ANOTHER PERSON WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS WITH YOU?  Probably.

7. DO YOU USE SARCASM A LOT? Yes, but only when I'm trying to be funny.

8. DO YOU STILL HAVE YOUR TONSILS? Yep, I still do.

9. WOULD YOU BUNGEE JUMP? No, unless a lot of money was involved, perhaps.

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE CEREAL? Capt'n Crunch or Raisin Bran.

11. DO YOU UNTIE YOUR SHOES WHEN YOU TAKE THEM OFF? No.  When I wear sneakers, I don't bother to untie them.  I know it drives my husband nuts.  My son does the same thing.  We are just lazy that way. 

12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Yes.  Physically and emotionally I think I am...but I melt emotionally pretty easily--especially when it comes to babies and old people. 

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Dove ice cream--any flavor, or of course Haggen Daas..  Any flavor, but my favorite is chocolate.

14. WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU NOTICE ABOUT PEOPLE? I look at the way they carry themselves.  Where I work, I sometimes have to play a guessing game-especially when I work in the receptionist area.  If people smile, and can look you in the eye, it says a lot.  I think I would have to say their facial expressions are what I notice first.

15. RED OR PINK? Red.

16. WHAT IS THE LEAST FAVORITE THING ABOUT YOURSELF? I am sometimes a little too naive.  I expect the best from people all the time, and it just asks for disappointment a lot.

17. WHO DO YOU MISS THE MOST?  I miss my dad the most.

18. WHAT COLOR PANTS AND SHOES ARE YOU WEARING? Blue work-out pants, and pastel Easter socks with little white bunnies--how appropriate for me,  hey? 

19.  WHAT DID YOU LAST EAT?  Peanut M&Ms. 

20. WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO RIGHT NOW? My son's basketball outside, and the T.V.  It's on the Disney channel. 

21. IF YOU WHERE A CRAYON, WHAT COLOR WOULD YOU BE?  Red!

22. FAVORITE SMELLS? Cookies in the oven, or bread.  Jasmine, and brown sugar vanilla :)

23. WHO WAS THE LAST PERSON YOU TALKED TO ON THE PHONE?

My mom--who else?


24. FAVORITE SPORTS TO WATCH? Soccer, aka : FUTEBOL!  Basically, it's the only sport I watch besides my husband's Nascar.  I watch football too..but only when it gets to the Super Bowl.

25. HAIR COLOR? Brown.  I have red highlights..it can get almost blondish red in the summer when I'm in the sun.

26. EYE COLOR? Brown--the color of dirt.

27. DO YOU WEAR CONTACTS? No; but I do wear glasses sometimes at night when I drive.

28. FAVORITE FOOD? Italian or Mexican. 

29. SCARY MOVIES OR HAPPY ENDINGS?  I like them both.  Scary movies usually don't have happy endings though, but they are fun to watch.

30. LAST MOVIE YOU WATCHED? On T.V.?  National Treasure.

31. WHAT COLOR SHIRT ARE YOU WEARING? My Hard Rock Cafe, Maui T-shirt.  It's white.  I like it--it's long and covers my butt! :)

32. SUMMER OR WINTER? Summer.  I like being outdoors in the sun.  Summer usually equals vacation.  I like going on vacation. 

33. HUGS OR KISSES? Both are equally my favorites.

34. FAVORITE DESSERT? Chocolate.  Doesn't matter in what.

35. WHAT BOOK ARE YOU READING RIGHT NOW? I have no time to read a book!

36. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? I don't have one!

37. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON T.V. LAST NIGHT? Desperate Housewives and Reno 911. 

38. FAVORITE SOUND? Laughter..especially little children giggling, happy laughter.  And, the sound of a sleeping house...snores and all.

39. ROLLING STONES OR BEATLES? Rolling Stones.

40. WHAT IS THE FURTHEST YOU HAVE BEEN FROM HOME? The Azores...of course.

41. DO YOU HAVE A SPECIAL TALENT? I often get this asked to me often:  "How do you do it?"  Often they are referring to work, kids...etc..etc.  I say I don't know, I just do.  Then I'm asked myself:  Am I doing it?  Some people think I'm a super woman or something.  I only wish.

my answer on #14 would be Body Language. My name- I believe was taken after a Ms. Universe winner or contestant back in the 60's.  (Gemma Mata-I think that's her name) I cried last night (not wailing or sobbing, but quiet cry) when I was watching "Prozac Nation" tv movie starring Nina Ricci. My handwriting is OK..I wish I can write better.
...nice meme :-).Gem~
