Hello, Michele!

Well, I’m back at work and in a pretty good mood - which is surprising, since it is Monday! I also had both Saturday and Sunday off and it was wonderful, except for the heat/sweating/melting. What did you do with your free weekend?

Soon! Soon, I am planning to get a computer at home. It would be so cool to chat with you! Would I need to have MSN as my internet provider to use that chat feature? If so, do you recommend MSN? (Are they even a provider of the Internet?) I’m trying to have a new provider in mind for when I get my new computer, because I do not plan to go back to AOL. I need one that has a reasonable price for unlimited Net access. With AOL, I only had three hours a month and I usually didn’t use all of that. Now, I need unlimited access, but that clashes with my "I am cheap" side. Hey, you can’t take it with you!

How is your site going? I’m assuming there’ll be a page devoted to Mr. Vosloo. I have seen a More Naked Angel site - you could do a More Naked Arnold page. (Woo hoo!) BTW - the "naked" pics of Angel don’t reveal very much. I’m glad - I want to be surprised on David’s and my wedding night. (tee hee!)

I thought I’d heard it all in the Stupid Customer area, but gimme a break: "could you see if this card fits in the envelope"?!?!? You must be kidding!! I had NO IDEA the card/envelope concept was so complicated! You should have tried to put it in sideways, so it wouldn’t fit and then looked very serious at the lady and said, "Oh, no. It’s not going to fit in this one. You better go pick another one." What a maroon! What a nincompoop! What a … perfect story for my service page! May I use it?

I could also relate to your experience with that nasty "I want to order this" lady. Every time people would be like that to me at *****, I’d want to scream, "WHY? WHY must you be so RUDE?" And, like you, I always think of the best comebacks after the moment has passed. Grrrrr!

On that attaching picture question - I’m thinking that if Hotmail can put those emoticons in the body of the message, why can’t they put the others? Maybe I’ll start up my old Hotmail account and try it out.

Questions - revisited!

Who would I like to look like? (I thought of a major one) Angie Harmon

Expressions I use frequently- additional one - my mom, sis and I all say, "And I was, like, ‘okay.’" when  we’re describing a conversation we were having where someone said something weird. (To hear it like we say it put the emphasis on the "kay" and sort-of trail off with a confused look on your face.)

**recommendations**
cd - Out of the Blue/Debbie Gibson
movie - Overboard
TV show - The Young Riders

funny moment- From the Golden Girls: Blanche was on the floor doing some sort of abdominal crunching exercise. Dorothy walked into the room, took one look and said, "The only time  I’m in that position is when I give birth."

new questions - answered!

What are your favorite Christmas specials?- The Grinch, Rudolph, Frosty, Peanuts

if for one day, you can be someone completely different than who you are, describe what you would be like- I’d be a very self-assured, very successful  - very NON-goofy - career person. Of course I’d also like to try out the slut thing just to see what people find so attractive about it!

how old were you when you received your first kiss?-  I was about 21. (It was with Sammy.)

how old were you when you had your first boyfriend?- same answer as previous question

would you/have you ever skydive?- Hell no! I used to think I would, but now I get really panicky when I feel like I’m falling. (I was just thinking about this over the weekend when I saw a commercial for an amusement park with a 20 story "freefall.")

how about bungee jump?- Hell no! ditto - see previous answer.

how about ride in a hot air baloon?- Yes! I have ridden in a hot air balloon! I was in Macon, Georgia at their cherry blossom festival and guest could ride up in a balloon. It only went up a bit and came back down, but it was cool. The basket is very tall, so I felt very secure.

an embarassing moment-without a doubt the most embarrasing moment was when I tried to sing that solo in front of the church! It was truly a nightmare - even now when I think of it my hand flies to cover my face in shame!

ever been on a cruise?- no, but I would love to take a Disney cruise. I’d also like to cruise to Alaska!

have you lived in the same house all your life?- no.  This is the 3rd move that I remember. We lived in the first house for three(?) years, in the second house for about seven years and in our present house, which we inherited from my grandfather, for about 16 years.

God has placed an extra hour onto every day.  What are you going to do with that hour?- either study, watch TV, work on the websites, or sleep!

ever seen a ghost?- no (I’m glad about that , too!)

were you ever bitten by a dog?- no, but when I was really little a (little) dog knocked me down and I was scared of dogs for a long time.

name something you know you need to do, but you keep putting it off- I was going to ask you this - but I kept putting it off! I need to take the Fundamentals of Engineering exam, but I just cannot see myself doing well on it! As you can imagine, I am in no rush to take it, although I’ll have to do that before I can graduate.

New questions!

Is your purse big or little? Little. When I had a big purse, I carried a lot of stuff that I never used.

Do you wear makeup every time you leave the house? I wear it to work during the week and to church. If I have a weekend part-time gig, I don’t wear it so that it’s less hassle when I have to leave very early or come in very late.

Would you ever go underwater in one of those steel cages with large sharks swimming around? NO!! I don’t care if I am actually protected, I would have nightmares for the rest of my life from seeing those things being so close by. I can hardly look at a picture of a shark attack!!

What is your ideal room temperature? I like a room that’s about 70 degrees. I’m very cold if I’m sitting in a room that’s much under that. If I was moving around a lot, I’d be happier in a cooler room than 70 degrees.

What do you think would be cool about being a guy? It would be cool to not be judged so much by how we look!

Do mosquitoes seem to bite you more than they do other people? Absolutely! At this very moment I have nine bites. (One was itching, so I thought of this question.) At one point last summer I had 27 bites on my legs at the same time - it looked like I had a pox!

How much of what they say in tabloids do you think is true? 10% if that!

Would you pay $250 to see Madonna? No. I just can’t imagine the show would be worth that to me!

How much would you pay to have dinner and an evening out with your favorite celebrity obsession? I would pay $500 - $1000 to go out with David. (I’m thinking of it being like for a charity auction - I’d feel less special (and more repulsed) if he pimped himself out to every girl that offered to pay him for a date.)

If someone offered you an acting job and you had to do a love scene or a striptease, do you think you would do it? I think I would, as long as I knew they’d make me look really attractive and not totally lame/stupid/goofy! It would be fun to try to get into being the character - for a while I’d have a different life! I might feel stupid at first, but I hope I’d get over it!

That’s about it for now. Talk to you later! God bless!
