Monday Madness

How Many........
1. ...computer-related gadgets do you own?


Counting the computers? Um, three, the desktop, the laptop, and the PDA. (And a partridge in a pear tree.)

2. ...pictures on your living room walls?

The actual living room? Five. Um, a print of a little boy looking at a star map with the night sky above him, a poster of Newport, a poster of New England, a map of Great Britain and a poster of Boston (the latter which you can't really see because it's mostly blocked with the travel books). There are also two airplane prints on the side of the back to back bookcases near the closet.

3. ...magnets on your refrigerator?

I've lost count. At least 20. When we go on vacation we buy a magnet for the fridge.

4. ...reference books in your bookshelves?

Holy cow, I've never counted them. I have an entire tower bookcase next to my computer desk that's full of etomology and linguistics books, writing books, and name books. The top of the computer desk is lined with HTML and other computer reference books. Plus there are three shelves of history books, three of biographies, three of Christmas books, and four of various housekeeping/cooking books that are used for reference, as well as an entire five-shelf bookcase full (and that includes the top) of movie, television, and radio books.

5. ...boxes of cereal in your cupboards?

None. All our cereal is in plastic Rubbermaid-type containers since the last onslaught of the ants.

6. ...lamps in your house?

Three in the den, one little one in the kitchen for Wil, two in the living room, one in each of the useful bedrooms, and about four or five in James' hobby room.

7. ...times a week do you shop for groceries?

Too many. Fridays and Saturday and Sundays taken up with part of the nonsense because one thing is one place, another at a second place, yet more at a third.

8. ...magazines do you subscribe to?

One, Reminisce. (James subscribes to Sport Rocketry.)

9. ...tv programs do you watch on a regular basis?

Monk when it's new. House, M.D.. That's it.

10. ...items on your bathroom counter that don't really need to be there?

Right now? I don't think anything. Everything that's there now (hairbrushes, deodorant, shaving cream, the thing that holds the Q-tips and the bobby pins) is supposed to be there.
