Three Things

It’s been a while since I’ve done a meme.  But, as per Junebee, I’ve been tagged. 

1.  Three people who make me laugh:

  • My husband (who has in past years done great interpretational dancing to theme songs from ER, Law & Order, etc.)
  • Karl whose birthday challenges had me holding my sides laughing
  • My girls

2.  Three things I can do:

  • change a diaper with one hand while lying down in the dark
  • make chicken pie and chocolate cake from scratch
  • crochet baby blankets, hats and booties

3.  Three things I can’t do:

  • go on a ferris wheel without completely freaking out
  • keep my mouth shut when someone says something rude to my kids or my mom
  • get the grill started  (I know the games men play. . . folding laundry poorly so they’re not asked to do it again.  I can’t get the grill started and I have a good reason why.)

4.  Three things I’m doing right now:

  • trying to catch up on my blog reading
  • looking around my living room and wondering exactly how many tissues Lil C has shredded today
  • trying to find a good deal on an awesome pair of boots I saw last week figure out how I’m going to explain my boot purchase to my husband

5. Three things I want to do before I die:

  • become a black belt and then some
  • move into my dream home
  • visit the Florida Keys

6. Three things I hate the most:

  • political ads and phone calls (because I get at least four a day)
  • people who litter
  • people who are mean to people I love

7. Three things that scare me:

  • child predators (although if any of them come anywhere near me or my kids I am fully prepared to unleash BBM’s full fury on them)
  • the crazy countries in this world (N. Korea, Iran, etc.)
  • most dogs (I am not a fan.)

8. Three things I don’t understand:

  • why so many Americans hate their own country so much
  • why politicians don’t take all the money they spend on political ads and instead use it to find cures for diseases, improve our schools, etc. etc. etc.
  • school violence

9. Three skills I’d like to learn:

  • how to breathe properly through my kata’s
  • how to properly use joint locks. . . the first time
  • how to deliver a killer serve in the style of Venus Williams

10. Three ways to describe my personality:

  • Assertive
  • Thoughtful
  • Fun

11. Three things I think you should listen to:

  • your children
  • Alana Davis
  • Lil C and Big I playing together. . . their giggles are intoxicating

12. Three things you should never listen to:

  • political ads
  • political phone calls (like the stupid one I got today from Bill Clinton himself)
  • Hector & Victor from ESPN who give weekly projections on fantasy football players (Rex Grossman with a -7 for this week!  ARGHHH!!)

13. Three favorite foods:

  • Tortilla soup from Max & Erma’s
  • Pollo Fundido from Cozumel in Pittsburgh
  • Wings from Johnny’s Place in Pittsburgh

14. Three beverages I drink regularly:

  • diet decaf iced tea
  • cherry vanilla hot tea
  • diet decaf coke

15. Three shows I watch a lot:
