My best-online-friend-forever, No Cool Story, (don’t let her low-position on my links sidebar fool you, I just can’t figure out how to get those suckers to line up in alpha order.  ABC Momma, Heather? Can I get some help here?) has tagged me to do this fun little meme.  I was so surprised she tagged me since I’ve ditched out on the last few memes that have come my way.  Thanks for still having faith in me BOFF!

What do you like most about where you live?

Well that’s a tough one since we’ve only been here a month.  I love big cities and all the movement and life that goes along with living in one.  One thing I have noticed about Big City Mexico is that for being such a huge city, people are really friendly.  They smile easily in the streets and in the stores.  I couldn’t say that about the other big cities we’ve lived in: Washington D.C. and Caracas, Venezuela.

And, they have Krispy Kremes here!!

Is there something strange about where you live?

Sure.  People drive like maniacs (seeing a car driving in reverse down the middle of the road doesn’t phase anyone here). The traffic is horrible and at times totally random.  City zoning/planning is non-existent.  They don’t have chocolate chips (Nestle Tollhouse is missing out on some serious Mexican revenue.  Most gringos I know bring back suitcases filled with chocolate chips).  People just expect to be mugged.

What’s one of your all time favorite albums and why?

Tough one.  I’m one of those geeky parents whose taste in music hasn’t progressed since I got married.  So, I’ll have to pick from over 10 years ago.  I loved Pearl Jam’s "10" and U2’s "Auchtung Baby".  Why? Just fun songs to sing along with.

Did you have a passion for something as a kid that you still have now? (If not - what is one of your passions now?),

Hmmmm. I still love school even though I’m not a student.  I think I could be an eternal student and be happy as a clam.  I have always been athletic and still am (well, not right now because of the little one; all energy is used running to the bathroom and heaving).

What do you like most about having a blog?

I love having a blog because I don’t have the best memory and I blog about things I wouldn’t necessarily put in a journal.  Especially funny little things about my kids.  I love my life and my family and want to remember all the funny/interesting/unique/trying moments!

I’ve seen this meme quite a few times out there, but if you haven’t done it and want to, consider yourself tagged by me!
