Poll-ing For Dollars (Wrecked Poll from Sam, again - thanks!)

I want your answers, too! :) Please. :)



1. If you had the power, what would your ideal weather be today? Slightly cooler (upper seventies) and rainy. Right now, it's hot, humid, and just threatening to rain.

2. "Download This:" What song(s) are you happy to put on repeat these days? Anything from Ani's new official bootleg (Boston 11.10.06). She's pregnant and happy and talks all about it - it's so cute and awesome! Bonus points for having a percussionist on tour with her (Mike Dillon - lots of vibes and marimba - yay!), plus new songs ("happy songs" that she says are damn hard to write).

3. Inspired by Jen's essay: What's your worst dumping experience? I was dumped shortly after high school was over... I think it was that summer. I was devastated, but realized it was the right thing to do. Me dumping my (now ex-) husband was the worst dump I've delivered. I knew I was doing the right thing, but damn it was difficult and NOT FUN.

4. What quirks/annoying qualities/pet peeves do you have in a car - either driving or passenger side? While driving: Other cars. People who can't pick a lane. People who stop to turn when they have their own lane to turn into. As a passenger: I'm bad about trying to "help," especially if we're both trying to find someplace new. But I try to usually keep my mouth shut unless I really think we're taking a wrong turn. Ryan's usually the one with the sixth driving sense, though, so I try to let him figure it out. :)

5. BTTW/WTTW (Best and Worst Things of The Week)

BTTW: New medicine working well - my concentration and focus has improved, and so have most of the other physical symptoms. Got to have dinner with Ryan's dad while he was in town this week. Talking to Ryan about what's been bugging me lately. Sleeping. Pre-ordering the new Polyphonic Spree cd for myself for my birthday. Looking forward to board games, father's day, and girls' night this weekend!

WTTW: Having conversations I don't recall (and therefore wasn't an aware, active participant in) after taking Ambien (I've heard I'm not the only one!). The nights that I didn't sleep well. Bad posture while at work this week has rendered my neck and shoulders quite tense (no matter how many times I try to correct my normally near-perfect posture, for some reason this week, my body refuses to sit properly). Feeling like my counselor is just making me talk, but not helping me get anywhere (and not researching things I've asked about that he doesn't know anything about).
