    Not only do you rarely drive more than five miles over the speed limit, but it takes you a thousand yards or more to get up to the speed limit, too!

    And I don’t think there’s anything that you probably don’t know about me.

    So do you only drive for lengths of five miles to avoid sleeping in the car… or do you sleep while driving?

    You might not know that I used to be the guy everybody called for tech support and suddenly, after turning 40 years old (I am now 46) I can’t even seem to set digital clocks!

    5 over the speed limit though? I’m usually there halfway through second gear. I’d say I average 10mph over….

    It’ll just be me, my husband and mother gathered together for Thanksgiving this year, so we’ve decided to “go out” for dinner for the first time ever. It’s kinda depressing if I allow myself to dwell on it.

    One the plus side, since we won’t be slaving over a hot turkey in the kitchen, Mom and I might actually be able to sit and watch the entire Macy’s parade! :)

    I am technically an only child
    but I have 14 ’siblings’ [2 half brothers from my mom, 2 half brothers and 3 half sisters from my dad, 2 step siblings, and 5 inlaw siblings]
    I am fluent in French and plan to teach it to my future children.
    I have flipflops in every color. All from Old Navy because they are cheap and hold up.
    I have rainboots but never wear them.
    and for some reason I have Uggs, but I live in Florida.. so there’s no point in having Ugg’s.
    I could eat Chickfila and Whataburger every day and be fine. I only know that because I’ve done it for a week straight.
    I am more open online than I am in real life.

    First, I just found you on my google reader and don’t even know how you got there.

    Second, your Blogher post was spot on and I’m so happy I’m not the only one resisting “that whole thing”. And yet, I want to go to the conference too. Maybe in another year.

    Third, since you don’t know anything about me I’ll just tell you that I’ve slept with Brad Pitt.

    As for the recapping thing, I love to recap but you have to get me going. If you ask me how my day was, I’ll say “fine” but I really want you to prompt me to give you more …

  54. Jeremy November 17, 2008 1:06 am

    I too hate recapping, and frequently respond with “fine” knowing that the person on the other end is likely to become agitated and annoyed that I did not actually answer their question. However, as the saying goes “paybacks are a bitch” and generally speaking they annoyed and or aggrivated me when they asked a mundane question like “how was your day?” which makes me feel like I’m Timmy on the TV show Lassie.
