My buddy Rosie over at Rosalicious was handing out meme's like they were going out of style!
Here are the questions she hit me with :
1. If you could go on a hot date with ANYONE, who would it be and where would you go/what would you do?
A- Hmmm...anyone?? To be honest, no one comes to mind right away. Would never have any interest in dating anyone famous. As far as non-famous, the guys I've been interested in I've already hung out with. Probably the best answer I could give right now is Chris Chasse...guitarist for Rise Against. Had their latest concert DVD all last week and I think Chris is incredibly cool...at least from what I saw on the DVD. Cute and down to earth...and tall! I like the TDRF type. Tall, Dark Hair, Really Funny. Plus, he's a liberal...total brownie points there. Doesn't get picked out in public so as long as we were not around Rise Against fans it would probably be cool. As to what we'd do?
Grab a casual dinner...something like BBQ or Fusion...then off to a sporting event...Basketball first choice, Hockey second choice, then Baseball then Football. Or a concert...that would be cool. Dinner out followed by a sporting event or a concert is really my idea of heaven.
2. What's the best sex you've ever had and what made it the "best"?
A. Sex life is off the record and definitely off the blog. That's just me!
3. I just had to deal with a clogged up toilet and seeing as I am hungover today, the experience was exceptionally disgusting. What's the most disgusting thing you've ever had to deal with?
A. There have been many occasions back when I used to have roomies in college that were gross-a-thons, but probably the saddest..and grossest...thing I have encountered was my first bid as a Professional Organizer.
My clients lived in a nice ranch home...one level. Nice on the outside. Inside? Another matter. Don't know how to adequately describe what I walked into. My first thought was ' you have to be kidding, you staged this, right?'
Wall-to-wall clutter PACKED every single room up to my shoulders. I am 5'5". As you entered the house...living room off to the left...dining room off to the right...family room straight ahead...there was a sea of 'stuff' covering every square inch, save for a path that meandered thru the house.
The husband was a quadriplegic, confined to a wheelchair. The wife had full mobility.
They admitted that it took then an hour to make a space for me on their living room couch so I could have a place to sit.
Sat down to give them my portfolio made of of several client pictures (friends that were my guinea pigs so I could get my business started) and they read a letter from one of my friends that had not had people over for 7 years since his place was in such disarray. There were before and after pix as well.
The husband started to cry as his wife read the letter to him. She had to reach over to wipe his tears away. He said all he wanted in life was to have a neat and clean house. He wanted it more than he wanted to have use of his arms and legs back. The wife? The clutter didn't bother her at all.
The realization of what I was looking at hit me so hard I almost passed out. Their situatiuon was all about control. It had nothing to do with clutter.
Saddest and sickest thing to date I have ever witnessed.
4. On a more pleasant note, tell us about the best meal you've ever had.
A. Wow...there have been so many. Each the best in their own special way. Probably one of the best ones of recent memory was over at my buddy Howard's sister's house. She had a BBQ in my honor when I was back in FL in Feb.
There was so much to celebrate! I got to see Howard, meet his new girlfriend Renee, congratulate him on the recent selling of his condo and job offer (he is graduating from Respiratory Therapy school next month) and he showed me potential homes he was looking to buy. Was wonderful to see his sister Tonja and brother-in-law Dean again as well. Being his roomie, I got to know his family pretty well and the day I flew from FL to CO FOR GOOD I spent part of my last day in FL hanging out with Tonja and her mom Beverly.
The food was awesome (BBQ steak and chicken, baked beans, corn on the cob, mashed taters),the company (which included my friend/client Aree who I was staying with and who had become great friends with Howard and Renee!) even better and it was one of the high points of my trip back to FL.
5. Turn on your ipod. What song plays? How does this song make you feel? How did you discover the band? Does it bring back any memories or feelings?
A. Had your question in mind when I started up my iPod today. Closed my eyes, gave it a random twirl and wound up with the Shins 'Wincing the Night Away'. First heard The Shins when I saw Garden State for the first time....Caring is Creepy was a favorite. My buddy Andrew lent me this CD for iPoddage purposes and I played it alllll day today. It made me very happy and content...working away at home, slushy rain pounding the windows continuosly, iPod serenading me...made for a very happy and contented work day. That's what music does for me in a nutshell...makes for a happy and contented Kath!

Anyone want a 'meme-of-the-day?? Lemme know!
