Mememememmeme!

So, I wasn’t officially tagged, but I’m stealing a MeMe from Zoot because I’m still braindead. However- I did NOT puke. I won’t go into any more details, but I am feeling better today, and even had enough energy to shower – thank god. The boy had a relapse though, and is home again today. I wondered if the pup was going to relapse, as she was feeling a little queasy last night, but she was bright-eyed and bushy tailed this morning, so off to school she went, while I did my best to catch up on two days of work. Heh. So – that leads me to this MeMe which I thought was cute:

“List one fact, word or tidbit that is somehow relevant to your life for each letter of your first or middle name. You can theme it to your blog or make it general. Then tag one person for each letter of your name.”

I’m going to use mah internet name, Lessa, because that’s what I’ve decreed. Hah. Here ya go.

L: low maintenance. I’ve never been one to primp – even in high school. While the other girls got up early and did the curling irons and hairspray and all of that (it WAS the 80s, after all!) I was enjoying an extra hour of sleep in the mornings, dragging ass out of bed with 15 minutes to spare, and getting to school on time. I was the bane of my early-rising mom’s existence back then, I think. Fortunately, she had my sister who was the primper and STILL gets up uber early. Not me – I’m a night owl, and I don’t do makeup or anything more then plop a bit of product in the hair and fluff it, or rock the ponytail when it’s long enough. S’all. I don’t need anything fancy, ever – though a maid would be nice. Hah.

E: easy-going. It’s right along the same lines as above – I don’t need anything fancy, I get along with most people (except for those that I don’t.. ha!) I don’t take a lot of things personally, I always give someone the benefit of the doubt (unless it’s a 4th or 5th round and then I get pissed.). Case in point – my entry a couple days ago about the whiners on a forum – people there start to bitch in 0.136 seconds after something is delayed. Me? Bah. They said they’re working on it, they’re working on it! It’ll happen sooner or later, why stress? I’m also the ‘cool mom’ because I am easier going then most parents. Life’s too short to stress about the little things, folks. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!

S: strong. This one – well, it’s taken me a lot of time to own up to it. I never saw myself as stronger then anyone else (still don’t, really) or even strong in my own right. But at the same time, since being widowed, it’s been proven that I AM strong enough to raise my kids on my own, to keep going, to live again. That’s not to say it’s easy, at all. It’s to say that I can do it. Somewhere in me are the seeds of strength that I need to keep us going.

S: sassy, snarky and sarcastic! That’s me. No matter my size, my day, my life – I have a comeback for everything, and it’s almost always sarcastic or sassy. I spent my teenage years in trouble for sassing my mama, though somehow that never seemed to deter me. Still hasn’t. I love to snark on folks and stuff and life in general – it’s how I keep my sanity!

A: Alaska. Yeah, I had to go for the obvious – I’m what TBF calls his ‘lil ‘laskan popsicle’ and have been known to answer questions about Alaska in ways to further stereotypes. Yes, I live in an igloo, drive a dog sled, and hunt polar bears for a living. (see above sarcasm!) I’ve lived here most of my life, and will be here at least until the kids graduate high school, at which time the current plan is to move closer to TBF. We’ll see what happens then – we’ve 10 years to go still. I might just be too old and tired to decide to move by then. Hahahah!

So, there ya go. Day 14 of NaBloPoMo, finis.
