09: Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
Finances and trying to not cry when I get my Q4 2008 Stock Financials - until now I was well ahead of where I needed to be saved to retire at 55 - and WHAM!

I had real goals with these funds. :(

I get 10 minutes to whine in bed - then the coffee pot comes to life - and who am I to deny delicious coffee it's place in my life? so it's up - pour a cup of coffee - throw on a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt and take Miss Kate out while absorbing Vitamin Kona - then home to shower - and put a bagel in the toaster when I hit the shower. come out - get dressed, and have a bagel and cream cheese. then fill my to-go cup and hit the road - all in a bout 45 minutes. If it's the weekend - I wait till 9:30am - then I get back into bed and maul David. It's a tough life.

Your tenderize me with

I'm not supposed to care.
I wanted not to
but you don't always do
what's best for you.

"13: What is your favorite candy?"
"Mounds Candybars."
That is surprising, as I was sure that you'd "feel like a nut."

it is quite possible that I AM a nut - but that I just don't FEEL like one. :)

I've never understood why they are called 'Mounds' over your way. Here they are 'Bounty' bars (coconut...Caribean...pirates etc). They are my favourite and have been since I was a kid.
But 'Mounds' makes me think of mounted police and the road after their horses...well...possibly rather more information...
