Re: Poll!
Describe your mood today: Indifferent? I'm just not feeling it today
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: getting the rest of medical bills paid off (YES!), go to the library to get a couple of books, and start potty training M (she has shown great interest in it this weekend)
Do you lose your temper easily? Depends on the topic. If it's something pretty personal maybe.
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? I think so. We have talked about moving back to TX but we are really comfortable here
PIP or describe your favorite thing about summer. Everything! I can't really pick one thing. Love summer. Plus it means a week of vacation for me.
Describe your mood today: Normal, I guess. Nothing irked me...
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: Concert flyers need to be made, invoices need to be sent to yearbook purchasers who have a balance, and I would like to have a happy hour on Friday.
Do you lose your temper easily? Sometimes, it depends on who or what's bothering me.
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? Yes, I will always live here. We have a strong support system, family, and careers here. We have no reason to move.
PIP or describe your favorite thing about summer. It used to be sleeping in and having time to re-vamp my various curricula. Now, I don't really have a summer because of grad school, so there isn't much that I like about it anymore. That's sad.
Describe your mood today: It's pretty good!
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: 1. Make an A on my test tomorrow 2. Cook dinner every night this week 3. Try to understand what we're learning in Linear Algebra...I detest that class...
Do you lose your temper easily? Not really. I tend to hold my feelings inside. I do feel like I get annoyed easily though, but I never say anything.
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? Probably, since most of our family is here. Although I'm dying to move to Colorado! But we would miss our family too much

Wow, these all sound like things that stripes and I have been talking about today!
Describe your mood today: Full-on mood swings... stressed, irritated, but right now I'm excited for my 6:00 Melting Pot date!
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: I want to finish getting my sprinklers fixed, get an estimate on getting my gutters replaced, and i want to finish taping my living room/entry/kitchen and start painting by weekend.
Do you lose your temper easily? No, but I feel like I have today. I hardly ever lose it, but when I do, people take notice.
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? I don't know. We may move within the next couple of years. I love Oklahoma, but I could live most anywhere and probably be happy. If we did move, I know I'd at least visit every once in a while and that's good enough for me.
PIP or describe your favorite thing about summer. My garden. I love growing herbs and veggies and getting to eat what I grow, and I also love planting all sorts of different flowers each year. It just makes me happy to work in the yard.
Describe your mood today: Snippy. I'm ready for summer vacation, and my pain is acting up. My poor students--I think I was pretty on edge with them today.
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: Grade research projects, schedule a get together with some couple friends, and to not be a complete lazy bum while DH is out of town.
Do you lose your temper easily? Normally? Not at all. I'm very mellow. But today? Yes.
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? Most likely, yes. We'll see where DH gets a job after he graduates from PA school, but I doubt we'd move elsewhere. My family is in north TX, so that's probably the only other place we'd go.
PIP or describe your favorite thing about summer. I suck at PIP. I love being off for 2.5 months in the summer!
Describe your mood today: Anxious!
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: sell my house (I'm getting a cash offer tonight! Cross your fingers for me!), finish studying for a final, run at least 3 days
Do you lose your temper easily? Yes
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? It's really up in the air right now. There's a possibility that we could be moving out of state.
PIP or describe your favorite thing about summer Laying out in the pool
Describe your mood today: productive
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: work on planting the flower bed around the tree, finish memorizing a new tune I've been working on leaning, go for a bike ride
Do you lose your temper easily? not too easily. I do get impatient easily, but I try not to show it.
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? No. Neither DH nor I are from this part of the country, so we don't have any family holding us here. My company is headquartered in TX, so I assume that I'll be transferred back eventually.
PIP or describe your favorite thing about summer. eating my homegrown vegetables
Describe your mood today:Sleepy. I know that may be more of a state of mind than a mood, but that's just how I feel. This sinus stuff has been kicking my tail since Friday night.
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: Organize JJ's old clothes; get a jump on the newsletter at work; and get H moved into a new space in CO.
Do you lose your temper easily? Sometimes, yeah. If it's a hot topic issue, I tend to get fired up quickly. Or if it involves the well-being of JJ.
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? Nope - we will be in CO by this time next year, as long as H doesn't come down on deployment orders. Will we move back to OK? Eventually, yes. I hope we will, at least - I love it here.

Our snow cone place in Lawton opened a couple of weeks ago. I'm getting my first snow cone when I go home next weekend, and I am SO stoked.
Describe your mood today: Exhausted. I'm getting over a really severe UTI which has kept me up pretty much all night for the last 3 days.
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: Hmm...write a book review for a journal, grade papers for 2 classes, and line up a cheap house/dog sitter for our vacation.
Do you lose your temper easily? In my head, yes. I've also been told that my eyes betray me. BUT from the outside, unless you know me pretty well, I generally look really composed because I try not to show my anger to others in most instances. If anything, when I lose my temper, I tend to speak more quietly and calmly.
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? I don't think I'll always live in Oklahoma. I may move back to my home state, but only if it's in one city. It's more important to me to live within a 3 hour radius of our families.
PIP or describe your favorite thing about summer. Summer vacation!
Describe your mood today: I'm feeling cheery.
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: I'd like to knock out most of my school work, I'd like to spend some time with the best friend, and I'd like to get my house clean.
Do you lose your temper easily? No. Not at all.
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? Probably so. This is my home - my entire family is here. IF I did move somewhere else, it'd be on the East Coast. Or Ireland. Ha!
PIP or describe your favorite thing about summer.
Mood today: Meh. A little stressed from work but overall pretty chill.
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: Complete online module, finish surveys, workout
Do you lose your temper easily? I get irritated easily over little things but I don't typically have blowups. I'm more impatient. I get over things fairly quickly if I lose my temper.
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? I don't see us moving out of state or even our hometown. Our families are here and DH does not have flexibility in his job to move, so I need to bloom where I am planted I suppose.
PIP or describe your favorite thing about summer. Laying out with a magazine or good book, iced tea, watermelon, longer days to play, less hectic at work
Describe your mood today: Happy and anxious. H is home and I would much rather be home with him. Also, I'm realizing that the semester is almost over. I am soooo ready to graduate.
Name 3 things you'd like to accomplish this week: pay off my student loans, get new tires for our car, make a huge car payment (only a few more months and it will be paid off)
Do you lose your temper easily? It depends on who or what the situation involves. I used to lose it quickly, but I have been working on being more patient.
Do you think you will always live in OK? If you moved here from another state, do you think you will move back to your home state? I think we will always live in Oklahoma. Our families are here, and I don't want to be too far from them.
PIP or describe your favorite thing about summer. We have a lot of famly gathering throughout the summer. I love spending time with them.
I am also a huge fan of sno ones!
Carnival of Ice? They are the best! I haven't been by there yet, but I have been thinking about them all week.
