Re: Random Poll!
What's your mood right now?
Lazy. I want to go home and veg.
Are you OCD or a perfectionist about anything?
I'm such a weirdo. Double light switches have to both be in the same position. I can't walk away with one up and one down. Sometimes this means walking around the house flipping switches on multiple panels to make it work. Also, we have both black and white hangars. I want all of my clothes on black and his on white.
Last time you held a baby that wasn't your own?
Last weekend I held an adorable and hilariously happy 1 year old. I wanted to keep him.
What's your hair like today (curly, straight, pony tail, etc.)?
Straight
Least favorite thing about Christmas/Holiday season?
Rushing around to try to coordinate with everyone's schedules.
What's for lunch?
theoretically the lean cuisine in the freezer. I'd jump on any other offer though
What's your mood right now? I'm mad for 2 reasons. 1) I'm getting very impatient waiting for my grades to be posted. 2) X-rays were normal so I don't have a stress fracture in my foot (yay!) but I still have to take 2 weeks off from running, which really sucks. I've made so much progress in the past couple months and I'm terriefied I'll lose all the progress I've made and it'll be too hard and I'll just quit running. I'm sure I'm just overreacting though
Are you OCD or a perfectionist about anything? Yes. I don't clean a whole lot, but when I do, it has to be perfect (like dishes must be scrubbed completely before going in the dishwasher.) And when I type documents at work, it really, really bothers me when the girl that covers for me doesn't do it just like I do, although I would never say anything about it. At work, the programs/email I use have to be opened in a certain order so they are on my toolbar in the same order every time. There's multiple other things.
Last time you held a baby that wasn't your own? Thanksgiving. It was my cousin's 7 month old little girl.
What's your hair like today (curly, straight, pony tail, etc.)? Straight and boring.
Least favorite thing about Christmas/Holiday season? The cold. I hate the cold.
What's for lunch? Haven't decided yet. I have some errands to run, so I'll probably pick up a sandwich from City Bites or something.

I've read it takes 7 weeks to lose capacity. I've also taken 2 weeks off before, you'll do great. So what if you go a little slower the first run or two back into things.
What's your mood right now? It has went from very cheery to stressed to the max but I am coming back to very cheery.
Are you OCD or a perfectionist about anything? Oh yes-in our closet all shirts must be hung a certain way and the same goes for pants. Everything in my house has a "spot" and if it is not in it's "spot" I fix it. I have a thing for lights being turned off when no one is in the room-at MIL if one of C's neices leave thier bedroom light on when they are not in there I make them go turn it off. All cups/plates/eating utinsils must be put up everynight and not left on the coffee table or side table. I do not like clutter so when I clean I am a mad women and it is best for C to leave the house because he does not clean to my standards.
Last time you held a baby that wasn't your own? Don't have any babies myself but I help C's step-sisters little boy a couple of weeks ago.
What's your hair like today (curly, straight, pony tail, etc.)? Straight
Least favorite thing about Christmas/Holiday season? We have too many places to go in too little time so we don't get to stay anywhere too long.
What's for lunch? I brougth a canned meal but not sure if that is what lunch will be yet.
What's your mood right now? Excited. M has her Christmas party at school this afternoon and it's getting closer to Christmas vacation.
Are you OCD or a perfectionist about anything? Not really. The only thing that I am OCD about is the toothpaste tube. DH squeezes the tube from the middle and I squeeze it from the bottom. It drives me up the wall and I spend some time trying to get the tube back the way it was.
Last time you held a baby that wasn't your own? Sunday at church. I worked our nursery
What's your hair like today (curly, straight, pony tail, etc.)? Straight
Least favorite thing about Christmas/Holiday season? Trying to find a place for everything. I'm already trying to figure out where most of M's stuff is going to go.
What's for lunch? Panera Bread Yum!
What's your mood right now? Lazy and I'm loving every second of it.
Are you OCD or a perfectionist about anything? Not really, otherwise, I'd never get anything done.
Last time you held a baby that wasn't your own? Uh......can't remember?
What's your hair like today (curly, straight, pony tail, etc.)? Ponytail, unwashed. True laziness.
Least favorite thing about Christmas/Holiday season? Traffic gets worse.
What's for lunch? I think I'm going to make some kind of pasta in a cheesy sauce, maybe with some chicken. Maybe something green, I don't know yet. I've got a pot of water on the stove for the pasta and that's it so far!
What's your mood right now? Irritated and tired. These cramps are killing me, and I really just want to go home and sleep the day away...but I really can't take off of work unless I want to create a massive headache for myself when we return from holiday break. Blah.
Are you OCD or a perfectionist about anything? I'm pretty OCD about how I clean - hadn't realized that until H tried to help me clean after my gall bladder surgery. The rest of the perfectionist stuff - like how I organized things - went out the window.
Last time you held a baby that wasn't your own? Oh gosh. It's been awhile.
What's your hair like today (curly, straight, pony tail, etc.)? It's pulled back in a bun.
Least favorite thing about Christmas/Holiday season? The stress of it all. It's hard for me to get in the Christmas spirit when I spend my days leading up to it shopping and working like crazy.
What's for lunch? No idea. Considering soup...that might help with the cramps.
What's your mood right now? Stressed. Kind of down.
Are you OCD or a perfectionist about anything? Yeah... about most things. Like bluekid, it's something I have to sort of cultivate for my job (which may or may not be healthy). I am expected to be super anal about details, in order to make sure everything gets done, and gets done correctly. In my personal life, I'm mostly OCD about grammar/spelling, but I'm not a b*tch about it.
Last time you held a baby that wasn't your own? Hmm... Thanksgiving, I held my BIL and SIL's baby.
What's your hair like today (curly, straight, pony tail, etc.)? Straight - sides pulled up, as usual. Tryyying to let it grow.
Least favorite thing about Christmas/Holiday season? Traffic.
What's for lunch? I'm thinking a tree hugger salad from coolgreens.
Wendy - I was hoping you would chime in with something that made me feel better
Blue - Thanks! It is SO hard to rest, even though I know it's best. I just keep thinking I'm going to get lazy and get out of the habbit of running and never get back into it. And then I'll gain back the weight I've lost haha. I need to just stop worrying. I know I'm overreacting.

Last time you held a baby that wasn't your own? My niece, that was a few months ago.
What's your hair like today (curly, straight, pony tail, etc.)? Curly ponytail.
Least favorite thing about Christmas/Holiday season? People that wait until the last minute to shop then are absolute maniacs about it.
What's for lunch? Sandwich. I am just ready to go home.
What's your mood right now? Neutral.
Are you OCD or a perfectionist about anything? shirts on the hangers must all be hung up facing the same direction, but nothing much beyond that
Last time you held a baby that wasn't your own? umm...several years ago? I think I've only held one baby in my entire life.
What's your hair like today (curly, straight, pony tail, etc.)? straight and down, sometimes pulled in a quick ponytail when I want it out of my way
Least favorite thing about Christmas/Holiday season? staying at my parents' house (it's quite disgusting), the stress of shopping for presents
What's for lunch? went to a local Italian restaurant. breadsticks, salad, the free bread, and ravioli
What's your mood right now? It's pretty good! H is wrapping my Christmas gift so I'm waiting ... then we're going to finish the rest of our wrapping.
Are you OCD or a perfectionist about anything? This isn't really OCD, but I don't like it when I hurt myself and someone asks me - "Are you ok!?" Obviously I'm not ok, I just hurt myself.... and now you're asking me stupid questions while I'm in pain. Poor H knows not to talk to me after I hurt myself so I'll slam my finger in the door and he's just silent. People probably think he's a jerk, but I know he's silent because he knows I don't want to be asked if I'm ok.
Last time you held a baby that wasn't your own? It's been a while... I think the last one was baby G when ShansBride was at my house a couple of weeks ago.
What's your hair like today (curly, straight, pony tail, etc.)? just down and straight.
Least favorite thing about Christmas/Holiday season? The traffic!
What's for lunch? I had a slice of pizza
What's your mood right now? Annoyed and stressed. Too much on my plate when I should be coasting through this week.

I do this also. Makes me crazy to have them out of order.
What's your mood right now?
Annoyed with all people. I am in no mood to be at work tonight.
Are you OCD or a perfectionist about anything?
I need both of my hands to feel the same. If I touch one of my fingernails, I need to touch them all so it feels even.
Last time you held a baby that wasn't your own? Sunday
What's your hair like today (curly, straight, pony tail, etc.)? Ponytail that has so many frizzies and loose strands that it looks like I just woke up. I should be embarrassed.
Least favorite thing about Christmas/Holiday season? The chance that I may have to see my in-laws. Not this year thankfully! H just wasn't in the mood to see them this year.
What's for lunch? We went to Alfredo's.
I definitely have OCD tendencies. I have to check the iron, oven, flat iron, etc. a million times before leaving the house. And I freak out about leaving for trips and making sure all the doors are locked, garage door shuts fully, and there's no food to spoil in the fridge.
I held my friends's six month old this weekend,
hair is in a ponytail today. It's Christmas break!
I hate the expectations of the holidays, whether they're gifts, family time, events, because we inevitably build up the holidays and get disappointed in some aspect.
I'm having leftover chicken pot pie a friend brought us.
