• Always…Sometimes…Never

    by  • 11/11/2009 • Life • 32 Comments

    I saw this meme a while back but can’t remember where and thought it would be a fun post for today.

    I ALWAYS…

    • Accept chocolate if it is offered to me
    • Have a book I am currently reading
    • Say “I love you” to my son and husband before going to bed
    • Wish I weighed just a little bit less
    • Turn up the volume when “Cousin Dupree” by Steely Dan plays on my iPod
    • Get killed within 5 seconds when handed the controls to Call of Duty 2 when Mr. Jenners has to take a pee break during an online match
    • Put apple jelly on my peanut butter and jelly sandwich
    • Find at least 20 useless but totally cute things whenever I venture into Target

    I SOMETIMES…

    • Exercise up to four days a week (with month-long stretches of inactivity in between)
    • Miss working outside the home
    • Regret stopping my piano lessons when I was in high school
    • Eat up to two servings of fruits and vegetables in one day
    • Think Brad Pitt isn’t all that good-looking
    • Feel guilty for reading US Weekly
    • Wonder where the lions are
    • Listen to my husband when he talks to me
    • Think the mechanics at the car dealership are ripping me off because I’m a female

    I NEVER…

    • Win raffles I enter
    • Whine and complain about my long and beautiful blonde hair
    • Wake up and think “Today I feel like eating brussel sprouts”
    • Ran a marathon, half-marathon or even a 5K race
    • Killed a hobo with a hammer
    • Promised you a rose garden
    • Ate a chocolate-covered insect
    • Finish any cross-stitch project I’ve ever started
    • Fantasize about Gilbert Gottfried
    Sorry Gilbert! You just don’t do it for me.
    Can you just imagine his pillow talk?

      ROFL at Gilbert Gottfried! Every time I hear or see him, I think of the annoying parrot in Aladdin :)

      Your "Sometimes" list looks similar to mine.

      And I NEVER turn down chocolate either ;)

      I always think Gerard Butler is the best looking actor ever!! I sometimes keep secrets from the hubby and Never read one of your blog posts without a little giggle. Thanks for making my day.. :)

      Holy crap thats funny.

      ps. I love Target with the light of a thousand suns. For your reasons and so many more.

      I'm so glad you've never killed a hobo with a hammer!!!!!! You crack me up! :)

      You're a hoot.

      Oh this is fun! I think I might have to steal it… ;)

      Finally! Someone else who doesn't think Brad Pitt is 'all that'. ;)

      I had a blind date with a Gilbert Gottfried look and sound-alike once… *shudder* :)

      That was a fun one.

      I agree with most of your list (I do kinda think Brad Pitt is hot, even if he is a bit of wierdo these days).

      This is a good one! You should do it as a fun and games.
      1. I'm not crazy about BP.
      2. I do the same thing with exercise. I'm off it now.
      3. I always have a book (or 2) that I'm reading, too.
      4. I stay out of Target. I have issues.

      I might have to "co-op" this idea Jen and use it on my blog. That was fun. I agree about Target, Brad Pitt and anything that involves running. Oh and the whole brussel sprouts thing too. Enjoy the day! Erin

      I love brussels sprouts! And I have a pile of unfinished projects, too, like knitting and stuff.

      BUT if you ever do decide to kill a hobo, it will be with a hammer, right?

      Since I'm a huge copy cat- I'll use that meme for a future post, loved it!

      And I have been known to wake up and crave for brussel sprouts. (but waking up and craving chocolate is far more common)

      I needed this giggle this morning. I am not allowed in Target anymore…Brian says. :)

      I had to laugh at the cross stitch. I have a baby blanket that I started for Silas and worked on when I was pregnant with each subsequent baby.

      Yep, it still isn't finished. Maybe for my first grandchild? Teehee!

      You're lucky. When my partner leaves the computer an invisible force field goes up to prevent intruders (me) from ruining everything. Mr. Jenners lets you play COD 2. That's love.

      These are so funny – especially all the Never ones!

      OMG, you've been crawling inside my head…can you believe it? I have exactly the SAME NEVERS as you do!

      What fun! You are very brave to take over Call of Duty for any reason! I make myself scarce when Jason plays (which isn't too often, thankfully).
      And I lost my lust for Pitt after Legends of the Fall.
      I SOMETIMES listen to my hubby too, but I ALWAYS try to appear that I am completely aware of what he is talking about ;)

      my favorite–sometimes, I listen to my husband. They were all clever.

      I also sometimes regret stopping piano lessons (and basically everything musical that I did) after high school. And then I remember about practice time … blah!

      And I never win anything either. I've won things like five times in my entire life. For the longest time (since junior high) I had only ever won one thing and it was actually something that you had to earn but it was a blind contest so I didn't know I was a top earner until the end. Then when I was in my early twenties I played games on a website and won … ONE DOLLAR! I never cashed the check because it was just so awesome that I won something.

      And if I could just figure out how to do knots, I would finish a cross-stitch project that I spent like a year on and then put away for 10 years in the closet.

      As for the hobo … oops. ;)

      I never liked Brad Pitt's pointy chin. My husband, however, thinks he is great looking. I think it's men who perpetrate the canard about Brad Pitt!

      Why is Mr. Jenners continually trusting you with his battles?

      11/11/2009 at 2:59 am

      Under "I never" you should write:

      I will never convince Ter to read twilight books.

      and you just reminded me of the halloween chocolate in my basement! (not that I need it but…)

      Lol! Love it! Great great list.
      I don't think Brad Pitt is all that hot either.. sometimes he just looks ugly in fact.

      And I never refuse, chocolate, candy pretty much any food if someone offers… well except gum I just hate chewing gum.

      I like how chocolate is first thing mentioned. And what's the deal with Target – do they have subliminal messages going on in the store?

    27. septembermom
      11/11/2009 at 2:27 am

      Well, I agree with you about Brad Pitt. I think he was hotter when he was younger. Weren't we all (at least in our own minds) :)

      This is a fun meme. Chocolate will always be on my always list!!

      This is an awesome meme prompt and so funny. Yes, I agree Gottfried doesn't have the looks and how about that voice!!! Yikes. Thanks for making me smile. Awesome post as always : )

      I always steal memes from other pals (and credit them when I do), I sometimes exercise in the same pattern that you do, and I never thought of putting apple jelly on my PB&J! Great idea! Merci!

      I always read your blog; I sometimes wish I wasn't a lunch lady (working everyday even just till 2 puts a cramp in my day) and I never killed a hobo with a hammer either. We have so much in common!

      This was really cute. I like it!!!!

      A) Target is evil.
      B) I agree that Brad Pitt has his less beautiful moments… but what about Johnny Depp?!?!
      C) I never wake up craving brussel sprouts either.
      D) I'm totally stealing this. :-)
