TMI Tuesday #1

Something a little different for me today. I found this on a friend of a friends blog and thought it would be fun.

1. How are your March Madness picks doing? or What is your favorite event?
March Madness is so far over my head that it is laughable. I cannot name even one college basketball team. Basically the only thing I do know about March Madness is that it is about college basketball and the guys are work are going crazy over it and have huge charts in their offices. My favorite event, well if we are talking sports I do enjoy a visit to see the LA Kings. To be honest I am not much of a sports fan and since my husband's interest is limited as well I don't get a lot of exposure.

2. What is the best April Fool's joke - EVER?
I don't do the whole April Fool's joke thing. I'm sure over the years more than a few have been played on me, but nothing with enough effort that I can remember it this early in the morning.

3. Valentine's Day - bogus holiday or romantic holiday?
Mainly bogus holiday. We always do a little something, so that you can tell it is Valentine's Day here, but no restaurant dinner, no flowers, but yes candy.

4. If you made any New Year's Resolutions have you broken them yet? or What have you done lately to make yourself a better person?
I typically make some random resolutions that I quickly break. So this year I did not, not one. Just had a crazy night and left it at that. As far as making myself a better person, I haven't taken on any particular tasks in this department. I have however made myself a healthier person. I have limited my smoking to zero cigarettes a day and have maintained this new limit since the middle of January. I have also joined a gym, my attendance is a bit sporadic, but I'm working on it. My next goal is to run out of excuses, but I should be gaining a work-out partner in the near future and I am very optimistic.

5. If you believe in 'regret', what is your biggest regret? If you don't believe in 'regret', what do you call 'errors in judgment' or 'missed opportunities' in your philosophy of life?
My first thought is no, I absolutely do not believe in regret, but then I looked it up just to be sure. I believe the second definition that I found referring to thinking of the past with a sense of loss and/or disappointment is what we are talking about here. If this is the truth, then once again no I do not believe in regrets other than to know that other people have them. I believe that everything that I have done felt right and the time and though I may feel sorry that my actions were not always up to par, that is a short term feeling and all and all I think I've done alright in the long run. As far as the second part of the questions goes, 'errors in judgment' are just that errors, but sometime a wrong turn takes you on a wonderful adventure. And missed opportunities could just as easily have become mistakes if not missed. The past is done and time spent wishing it was different is wasted, especially when I could not be happier with the present that

Bonus (as in optional): Tell us about four things about yourself, one of which isn't true.
1) I am such a "morning person"
2) I had four things in my head when I took a shower and have now forgotten them.
3) I have two tattoos and once had twenty-one piercings.
4) I procrastinate and will work on that one of these days.
