It�s been a while since I�ve done a meme� Got this one from LA. There will be another entry (much shorter!) tomorrow or Friday morning, and then I'm going away for a few days.

1. What bill do you hate paying the most? I haven�t used a credit card since I got myself out of deep debt a few years ago, so I guess I�d have to say the mortgage because it�s the biggest bill we have to pay each month.

2. What�s the best place to eat a romantic dinner? Don Juan�s house.

3. Last time you puked from drinking? Too long ago to remember.

4. When is the last time you got drunk and danced on a bar? I must have led a sheltered life because I�ve never danced on a bar. IN a bar, yes. ON a bar, no.

8. How many colleges did you attend? I took a few college courses, but don�t have a degree. It is one of the biggest regrets of my life.

9. Why did you wear the shirt that you have on right now? Because my daughter got it from a record company (she�s a member of their �street team�), and it�s WAY too big for Skinny Minny. So I wear it as a pajama top. (It�s a red Hoobastank �Every Man For Himself� t-shirt.)

46. If you could get away with it, who would you kill? Bill.

47. What famous person would you like to have dinner with? Hah! I�ll bet you thought I was going to say Don Juan! Actually, I�d choose John Lennon. If it had to be someone still living, I�d pick Paul McCartney. Why? Because they�re BEATLES.

59. How many jobs have you had? Five. I started out working in my grandmother�s coat factory, and then moved on to a file clerk position in an office for Orthopedic Surgeons. I was promoted to receptionist. and then bookkeeper before I quit because of the bi-polar office manager. From there, I went to an HMO, but didn�t like the job, and left after only two weeks. I discovered that I was pregnant, and decided not to go back to work for a while. When I did return to the work force, I took a part-time job as an accounts payable clerk for an upscale clothing store. Finally, I went to work for the school district I have been employed by for 16 and 1/2 years.
