hello, my name is aimee

so, i figure that since i'm attempting re-establish things over here, it might do to have a little re-introduction, as its been so freaking long since i've written regularly. and what better way to do that here on the inter-web than a randomly selected myspace-type survey? here we go...


Nicknames?
none really, besides mama. adam and my dad sometimes call me aim, and my stepmom calls me amos.

Status?
awesome. heh. i'm assuming this means relationship status, in which case i'm happily married.

Hair color?
brown

Long hair or short hair?
just past my shoulders.

Height?
5'8"

Piercings?
two in each ear.

Tattoos?
a purple butterfly on the small of my back, about the size of a kiwi. plans to add on some vines and two tiny butterflies symbolizing the kiddos.

Its Thursday at noon, where are you usually?
probably making lunch.

What brand of shampoo is in your shower right now?
suave. i'm pretty cheap.

What are you listening to right now?
the dishwasher and some chris o'brien on the computer

Do you watch MTV?
nope. we don't even have cable.

How do you feel about your hair?
eh, its there. i guess i don't have strong feelings one way or the other.

What movie is in your DVD player?
"enchanted" from sophie.

Do you like roller coasters?
sure.

What kind of cologne/perfume do you wear?
i have some stash of discontinued elizabeth arden called "true love" that is my favorite, but on a daily basis its either some bath and body works spray or this hilarious knock-off that i found called "clique snappy" and i had to buy it because it made me laugh - and then actually ended up smelling really good. i'll be sad when that ghetto bottle runs out...

What are your plans for today?
well, today's pretty much winding down - so probably a little reading and then bed.

When was the last time you were up all night?
it's been awhile. seriously up all night - probably labor and delivery with sophie. before that, probably college.

Do you sleep with a fan on?
when its warm enough.

How often do you hold back from saying what you are thinking?
i'm pretty open - but i don't like to hurt feeling needlessly, so i keep in check when i need to.

What's on your mind right now?
not much right now, actually.

This month have you made a new friend?
i don't think so...

Do you believe in God?
there's no way i could answer that succinctly enough for this format. let's just say that i'd like to believe that there's a purpose for all of this.

Who would you do anything for?
my kids, my husband, my sisters, my parents.

What is one thing you would love to happen tomorrow?
i'd love to win the lottery... which would be really cool since i don't even play. other than that, some nice weather, horsing around with the kids, a little grilling and some simple relaxation would do the trick.

Do you bite your fingernails when you're nervous?
nervous, bored, whatever - but its more the cuticle area than the actual nails. a habit i'm trying to stop.

Do you like Mexican food?
mmm... tortilla flat...

Are you tan?
i'm pretty obsessive with the sun screen, as i burn so easily, but i do have a bit of a glow going on right now just from all the outdoor work we've been doing this summer. this is probably about as tan as i ever get.

Everything happens for a reason?
i kind of hate that saying.

What happened at 10:00 am today?
uh, a pre-playground trip to walmart, i believe.

How many hours did you sleep last night?
about 7.

What was the last reason you went to the Doctor for?
post-partum check-up last january. i need to remember to schedule an appointment, i guess.

Do you still talk to the person you fell hardest for?
every morning when i wake up, each night before bed, and when i'm lucky all day in between.

What jewelry are you wearing?
wedding and engagement rings, puzzle ring - adam's first jewelry gift to me probably 12 years ago, and two sets of earrings - little silver hoops and tiny studs.
