Amazing Grace, that's about all I can say.

Have people forgotten how to talk?

1. Last errand you ran:

Walmart - was meant to be grocery shopping, but turned out to be a lot of impulse buying (what? I needed a new set of glass-ware, and what home couldn't use a few more incense burners?). It was a multi-faceted trip... first to pick up Rhythm from school (he had after school testing), then Taco Bell (never ever go to the grocery store hungry!), and then to walmart... and the gas station.

2. Last beverage you drank alcoholic or non-alcoholic:

Mountain Dew, or coffee... you pick. They're both in front of me as I type. I'm a two-fisted drinker and a serious caffeine junkie.

I don't drink often, not by a long shot, but I must admit my last acoholic drink was last week. I had a series of rough days, a few spurts of anger, a bit of depression, and so I tucked the kids into bed and then indulged in home-made (the safest way to drink!) kamikazes. Drank enough to let out a few inhibitions, a few tears, a few profanities, a few laughs, and then felt all better.


3. Last kiss: a real one, or a “friend on the cheek" one?

Seriously, and sadly... I don't remember. Yes, it really has been that long (kids not included).


4. Last movie seen:

Took the kids to see Harry Potter on July 31st.


5. Last CD you listened to:

A home-made concoction of collected various music my son burned to cd for me.


6. Last long shower or bubble bath:

Last bubble bath was in June when I was in Vegas. Long shower? Probably sometime last week. Most of them are "quickies" as I'm always rushing to leave for work on time.


7. Last time you cried:

A few hours ago... around 2 p.m. today, actually.

8. Last book you read:

Currently reading "Outlander" by Diana Gabaldon. Have been reading it for over a month now and am still only on page 157 of 627 and I bet the library would really like to have it back. *smirk* - It's a really good book, but reading time is limited, so I keep just re-checking it out, hoping time will be kind and eventually I'll get to finish it...


9. Last place you traveled:

Gosh, assuming the 70 mile round trips to work don't count, I'd have to go with Vegas in June to see the eldest graduate high school.


Thanks for asking. And you?? *big smiles*

Have commited these to memory as watercooler conversation starters.

For what it's worth though here's my little list.

1. Frantic dash to the chemist to have a prescription made up.

2. Ooohhh - don't even mention the word bourbon.

3. Hmmm - kids aside - a friendly peck on the cheek welcoming home a old friend.

4. 300

5. Steely Dan's Greatest Hits

6. No such thing as this

7. Yep - bit of a SNAG here - soulful music and happy endings will do it every time - so probably a couple of days ago.

8. Hmmmm - Friday Night Lights.

9. Calgary, Canada.

Short and sweet.

Nice post

Hi Mis,

1.Last errand you ran:

Hmmm let me see, Wednesday’s : Eldest daughter to wheelchair dancing classes (1pm), then youngest to roller blade hour (3pm), then drop eldest back home on the way to youngest Bellydancing classes (4:30pm). Dropped youngest back home and rushed to the DVD store to drop the overnight’s back by 6pm. I blew the curfew by 15 minutes, but the guy let me off …woo hoo.

2. Last beverage you drank alcoholic or non-alcoholic:

Not for a while now, I’ve gone off of it again? Ah I dunno, it comes and goes... but generally I'm not a big drinker.

3. Last kiss: a real one, or a “friend on the cheek" one?

Daughters on the cheek.

4. Last movie seen:

Re-watched Timeline

5. Last CD you listened to:

Nora Jones

6. Last long shower or bubble bath:

Emotional Detox Salts bath last night with 6 x hematite stones placed around me like a shield... try it Mis, for relieveing sadness and pain (of the heartache kind).

7. Last time you cried:

Just now.

8. Last book you read:

Never a last in this category – always one on the hop.

9. Last place you travelled :

Locally – see #1 above

Interstate (OZ) – Canberra

Globally – Los Angeles

Soggy stormy Hugs

Thank you so much for the kind words. How did you like the movie 300? As you know it was really popular with the ladies in the states [wink]. Steely Dan's Greatest Hits...you are a man after my own heart....what a great CD. Bit of a snag huh about happy endings? I am with you there.....
Glad to see you!

That list of errands made me tired just reading it. I admire your pluckiness! Nora Jones is always just the ticket for relaxing and regrouping.
Big hugs to you my friend :0)

I lvoed the list. I hate it when you're making small talk with people you don't really know and all of sudden you run out of things to say.

I'll use these

I agree with you. I am not a great chit chatter so this list has helped me too!
