43. When was the last time you cried? Before I answer, let me tell you that I am a cry baby. I cry a lot but it’s usually when I’m overcome with joy. (I’ve been hanging around Laura too much). I cry during great campaign speeches or rallies. It doesn’t even have to be the actual candidate making the speech. It could be the candidate’s wife, husband, former baby sitter, or milkman. Heck, it could be Joe the Plummer---well maybe that’s taking it a little too far! It doesn’t matter. If I think the message is sincere and I can relate…I cry. But back to the question: The last time I cried was a few nights ago when Addison was suffering with a bad cold and I couldn’t do enough to make her feel better. The next day I cried (just a few tears of joy) when I looked in the rear view mirror and saw her happily munching on her crackers and dancing in her car seat while singing some cute new song she had learned at school.
44. What is under your bed? One of Aaron’s neat boxes of things.
45. What did you do last night? Organized adoption documents and surfed the internet for that gas friendly car.

47. Salty or sweet? It’s perfect when you have a little bit of both.
48. How many keys on your key ring? Six
49. How many years at your current job? Let's just say I've been here long enough for my God daughter to get her driving permit.

51. How many places have you lived in? One state, 12 residences
I tagg anyone who has a blog and would love to play this game.
Here's a little Fall cuteness:
9 comments:
I knew you were still out there! I love the tag and am so appreciative of the cuteness...
I really do cry all the time! I am not a Hillary fan yet I was SOBBING over her speech at the convention (even posted the pre-speech video on my blog)!
I always say "I love a good cry!" I pray that my tears are always more joyful than sorrowful, and for you as well.
hopefully we can meet for coffee and cry tears of joy over your referral... which I know will be soon!
Pat, Addison is so beautiful! I am so excited about your new plans and I too can't wait for your referal (do you have a blog for the new baby?)... anyway, I'm so glad for the update.
No, I don't want to be tagged (I never liked the game as a child...I'm weird I know).
Pat, I'm so excited to hear your starting the process again, congradulations!!!!! Thanks for the pics of Ms. Addion, what a cutie. Here's my blog address.
