Jose Can U C
My friend Karen challenged me to meme with the letter "C". She started with the letter "D" on her blog: www.ailurophile.com/karenslife/
Here's all about me with the letter "C":
1. Children: I have four children, one daughter and three sons, who have brought immeasurable love and laughter into my life. I also have two grand-daughters who are Cute with a capital C.
2. Crazy: My children and I are a wild and crazy bunch. We have code words for the funny experiences that we have shared. All we need to say is, “Blue Booger”, “Dirty Shirt”, or “Centrum” and we all crack up. My oldest son used to have a sign he made hanging up in his bedroom. It said, “Please do not lick the walls.” His sister enhanced it by attaching a photo she took of him licking the door frame. The photo was strange yet surprisingly erotic.
3. Celtic: I love all things Celtic – my Celtic ancestors, Celtic music, Celtic legends, and Celtic dance. All my children have Celtic names: Jamie, Brendan, Ryan, and Bryce.
4. Chocolate: It’s one of life’s great little pleasures. For me, it’s got to be a good quality dark chocolate. I can resist Tootsie Rolls and Hershey Kisses.
5. Candy Fairy: Shhhh! Don’t tell anyone, but I’m the Candy Fairy at work. Around Christmas time I found out that Anita loves candy canes. I bought dozens of them when they went on sale after Christmas. I’ve got a year’s supply of candy canes hidden away. Every week, I put candy canes in Anita’s mail slot when no one’s looking. She thinks that Rose is the Candy Fairy.
6. Cancer: I’ve survived 2 kinds of cancer so far. Ten years ago I had basal cell carcinoma on my left nostril. The surgeon that removed my tumor and saved the “integrity of my nostril” was the same surgeon that removed the cancerous tumor on Ronnie Reagan’s nose. With a less skilled surgeon, I might have ended up with a pierced nostril. But my philosphy is: "If life gives you a pierced nostril, you put a 1 carat diamond stud in it!" Four years ago, I had surgery and radiation therapy for uterine cancer. So far, my cancers have remained in remission.
7. Curls: I have naturally curly hair. I fight my curls with industrial strength hair gel and stiff hairspray, but they always win especially during the humid summer months. My hair refuses to Cooperate with a capital "C".
8. Cats: I love cats – both pets and collectable figurines. Here’s to the cats I’ve owned or the one who have owned me: Knitzel, Mootsie, Hunkie, Pee Von Tine, Stinkbelt, Midnight, Patches, Gizzie, Scully, and Mulder.
9. College: I began college right out of high school in the fall of 1970 as a Chemistry major. I graduated from college with a B.A. in History in January 2001. I wasn’t a perpetual student, I just took a few detours – marriage, children, jobs. Once I decided I wanted to finish my degree, I stuck with it even though I could only take a couple of courses at a time while I was working full time. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and only one of my children beat me to a college degree.
10. Crocs: My brother, the doctor, introduced me to the most cushy, comfortable footwear – Crocs. Since my office has a casual dress code, I wear Crocs to work almost every day. I started with a black pair and branched out to a hot pink pair of Airwalks (which are just as squishy as Crocs).
If anyone out there feels up to the challenge, I'll send you a letter to meme.
