I'm kind of lacking in material this week. Y'all know what that means, don't you? That's right folks. It's time for a meme. And you're going to have a blast reading it because I can't fix the paragraph spacing.
What is your current obsession?
Trying to stay cool. It's been in the mid/high 90's all week here in Atlanta. It's only mid-to-late June and I'm officially sick of summer already. I dread getting my electric bill this month since my air has been running non-stop. But my gas bill should be pretty low because of the cold showers I've been taking to wash the sweat off. Bailey has been laying all spread-eagle on the cool tile floors in the kitchen all week just to keep from passing out.
What is your weirdest obsession?
Sitting in the dark in my house because I haven't opened the blinds in an attempt to keep the sun out so my house stays cooler. Eating soggy bowls of cold cereal for dinner so that I don't have to turn the stove or oven on to cook anything and heat up my house any more than it already is.

What are you wearing today?
A white flowing skirt, a t-shirt, and some platform wedges. Not completely appropriate for a law firm, but did I mention that it's hotter than hell here in Atlanta this week? They are lucky I'm not working in the nude. Seriously, when you wake up at 6:00 a.m. and turn on the news only to find out it's 80 degrees already, you know you should not wear a business suit unless you want to drip in sweat and stink up the entire office.

What’s for dinner?
I can't decide. It's a complete toss up between Special K and Apple Cinnamon Cheerios.

What would you eat for your last meal?
Not soggy cereal.
Not soggy cereal.
This is kind of a depressing question. Way to go, meme. Okay, assuming when I eat my last meal I'm not eating it through a tube or something and can actually enjoy it, I would go with lasagna, mac & cheese, ice cream, and a slice of cheesecake. All washed down with a tub of chocolate milk. And suddenly I feel like I'm going to be sick thinking about that combination of foods.
What’s the last thing you bought?
Tampons. Hey, you wanted to know. I'm just here to spread the truth people.

What are you listening to right now?
A Lifetime, by Ziggy Marley. I hope my co-workers like to get their reggae on since I'm listening to one reggae song after another on the Pandora station I created. I've been listening to reggae music for the past 2.5 hours. Oops, the Ziggy song just ended. Now I'm listening to Material Man, by Gregory Isaacs.

What do you think of the person who tagged you?
No one tagged me, but I totally ripped this meme off from Flurrious. And what I think of her is that she is one of the most hysterical bloggers in the blogosphere. I don't know of many people who can write a rather lengthy post about their garbage cans and the city's garbage service and still make me kind of sad when it ends.

If you could have a house totally paid for, fully furnished anywhere in the world, where would you like it to be?
Anywhere that doesn't get above 75 degrees in the middle of the summer. But I don't really like snow so it can't snow there in the winter. Do y'all know of such a place (besides somewhere in California because I don't think my budget would allow me to live there).

If you could go anywhere in the world for the next hour, where would you go?
A walk-in freezer. (Enough of the comments about it being hot here? Okay...I'll try to move on.)

Which language do you want to learn?
Portuguese so I know what Hot Brazilian is saying sometimes.

What is your favorite colour?
Red.
Red.
What is your favorite piece of clothing in your own wardrobe?
I don't actually own it but I'm looking for an outfit that makes me look about 100 pounds thinner than I actually am. Then it will be my favorite. In the meantime, I guess I'll go with the t-shirts we wear at the studio because I'm always happy when I'm painting.

What is your dream job?
I've always wanted to own a bookstore. Not one of those huge ones like Borders or Barnes and Noble, but a small, quaint, cozy neighborhood bookstore. With a coffee shop in it. And some studio/gallery space. So basically my dream job is to paint all day, occasionally sell a book or two and drink all the free coffee I can possibly stand. Since I haven't won the lottery recently, I guess I'll be sitting right back here at the law firm again tomorrow.

What’s your favourite magazine?
I don’t have a favorite, but I do flip through the artsy ones when I'm not in my dream small, quaint, cozy neighborhood bookstore, but rather, in a huge Borders or Barnes and Noble type of place.

If you had £100 now, what would you spend it on?
According to Flurrious, that is $163.00. I'm going to trust her on that so that I don't have to go to all the hard work of Googling it. I do have $163.00. Since I'm incredibly exciting and spontaneous, I'll probably just leave it in the bank for now.

Describe your personal style.
Anything that covers me up without showing too many rolls of fat. It's a glamorous look for sure.

What are you going to do after this?
Eat lunch. I like to give my personal style a challenge.

What are your favourite films?
I can never pick favorites (oh excuse me, the question asked for my favourite) when it comes to books, movies, songs, etc.

What’s your favourite fruit?
Oh hell, let's just go with pineapple. Or mango. Because this meme is apparently not going to accept that I don't like to pick favourites.

What inspires you?

Do you collect anything?
Well, I currently have over 100 paintings stacked up in my living room floor so I suppose I'll go with that as my answer.

Your favourite animal?
Bailey would probably be upset if I didn't say it was her. It's not, but don't tell her that. I'm kidding people.

What are you currently reading?
I just bought The Doctor's Daughter by Hilma Wolitzer. My friend is starting a book club and it's for that. I haven't had time to start reading it yet what with all of the cold showers I've been taking lately to rid myself of the gallons of sweat.

Go to your book shelf, take down the first book with a red spine you see, turn to page 26 and type out the first line:
My bookshelf is currently about 6 miles from me since I'm blogging on my lunchbreak at the office. But I happen to have a Webster's Dictionary and it's red. The first word on page 26 is "albacore". It's a big fish and canned tuna comes from it. You're welcome.

By what criteria do you judge a person?
I try not to judge but seem to fail miserably. I don't even seem to have much criteria when I do it.

What skill would you like to acquire immediately?
To twitch my nose and be in Brazil with Hot Brazilian.

I think California's your best option for not over 75 in the summer and no snow in the winter. And remember, you can have a fully paid for and furnished house anywhere, so money should be no obstacle!
Your last meal is making me lactose intolerant by proxy.
Oh yeah. I never did do the other half of this meme. Whoops. Well, in the half that I did do, my expired salad dressing made its way into as many questions as the heat theme did in yours. We all have to have something to focus on, no? :-)
It's hot here, too. And we're complaining about it constantly, like we don't live in Oklahoma and should be used to it. (I'm sorry--you can't get used to heat like this.)
I wish I could wrinkle my nose and send you to Brazil, as well. When you got there, you could say "rochas." That's one of the few Portuguese words I know. It means "rocks." ;)
I have the same dream job! A quaint little book store with a faint dry musty smell. An old fashioned bell on the door is a total must. Deep bookshelves, art area, small coffee/luncheon counter. Old (but clean) patterned rugs on the floor and the only computer in the place is an old dusty one in my back office to keep the finances straight.
