TMI- too much information

I do like Blackadder. And As Time Goes By, Keeping Up Appearances, Little Britain, and MI-5 I think it's called.

You're mentioning all of the BBC's best shows MI-5... do you mean Spooks? If so, it. is. the. AWESOME.

I've only got back into it, after a long break and loving it

the cross stitchers, crocheters, and knitters are all over the place

5. Favorite food? Chicken and all kinds of things made with it.

6. Favorite beverage? Mountain Dew or milk.

7. Hobbies? Not many things I would call hobbies in the normal sense. I suppose I need one since my last big hobby (web design) turned into a job so it's not fun anymore.

8. Night person or day person? Night... whether it's good for me or not.

9. Paint or wallpaper? Paint! But I've seen some amazingly gorgeous modern takes on wallpaper that make me flirt with the idea just a bit...

10. Favorite t.v. show? A few. I'm most actively involved in Prison Break, Journeyman, Lost, and Heroes these days.

11. Can you drive a stick shift? Yes, but I am a bit rusty. Certain clutches hate me.

12. Last person you talked with on the phone? My mother, I think, before she went to Italy.

13. What was your favorite toy as a child? I had Barbies and all that. I didn't get too attached to toys emotionally. But my blanket... now that was a staple.

14. When was the last time you cried? I got a bit teary today from stress at work. I had to leave after that because I was too sick to be handling that stress well anyway. Resting at home is great.

15. What's on the floor of your closet? laundry basket with dirty clothes, some sandals, and I think some giveaway clothes.

[edie19]

suggestion to all the Lego's people - save them!!!

My son always asked for Lego's for his birthday, Christmas - whatever. He had thousands and thousands of them (wasn't unusual to get >5 sets for each of the above events). Best guess at least $1000 invested by all the gift givers combined. Then he just threw them away (I guess it was easier than cleaning up and re-organizing for the umpteenth time).

Still makes me sad - especially now that his son is asking for them.
