The Last Copy Cat

My wonderful friend, Jessica, at Jessee's Spot put up a post on Thursday that I really enjoyed. So I decided to borrow her fun idea and write a post of my own based on hers.

Apparently, the folks at People Magazine have a feature on the last page called The Last Page (or something like that) where people answer questions about the last time they did something.

Here we go---

The last concert I went to- I can't even remember. I don't even remember if the reason I don't remember is because it was so long ago or because my mental condition was...muddy....cloudy...unclear...Pretty sure I remember having a good time though. Ha!

The last gift I gave- That would be little picture surprises in my parents' birthday cards. I had slides developed into 4x6 prints and put them in their cards. Nothing special except that these slides were taken the year I was born and they haven't seen them, most likely, since that year. No. I won't be sharing that year with you. I will tell you that my dad was sporting a red plaid shirt in one and my mother's glasses were blacked rimmed and resembled cats' eyes.

The last reality show I watched- I don't watch reality television. I've seen a few of them less than one time and that was more than enough for me to know that I was not going to go there. EVER.

The last thing I cooked- was roasted chicken and broccoli. I'm trying out that ketogenic diet and it's mostly protein and greens. Yum. Yum. I've been pretty good so far but I do dream of potatoes, rice, bagels, cake, ice cream...you get the picture.

My last grooming experience- was last weekend when I got the dog trimming kit out and trimmed Tucker. I don't like people touching my feet so I don't get pedicures. And I don't like the idea of the infections that some people get from manicures, so I don't get those either. It's too hard for me to sit still while someone cuts my hair so I chop at it myself or wait for Breezy to come home and get her to do it. Shoot, I don't even like to shave my legs. But I'm going to have to if I want to wear something to school other than long pants.

The last time I got angry-was...ha. I don't really get angry that much any more. Oh, there was a time when I would get angry at the drop of a hat. But not really anymore. I learned that my getting angry doesn't change anyone's behavior (took me YEARS to learn this). Mostly what happens is that I get disgusted.  Also, the more opportunities someone gives me to be disgusted, the more the relationship between us changes. There are people out there that I will have nothing to do with anymore.

UNLESS you're talking about driving. You know, when I'm on the road driving and other people are too but they shouldn't be? That definitely gets my dander up. 

The last time I stayed up late- was one night this week when I stayed up until 10:00. Thaaat's right. 10:00 AT NIGHT. Ok, now this one is NOT related to being old-ish. This one is related to trying to keep up with elementary school students and being able to act like I like them. Hahaha I really DO like them, but in order to smile and be nice, I have to have plenty of sleep. And, since I get up at 5:13 at the latest every morning in order to walk or run, depending on the day and with Tucker (of course), 10:00 is late for turning out the light. I see well over 500 students during the course of a week. A good mood requires plenty of rest. Trust me.

The last thing I splurged on- was nothing. I don't splurge. Mainly because my job doesn't pay me enough to splurge. Ha! However, I am going to splurge soon because Deanie's birthday is coming up. I always splurge on the lovelies' birthdays!

The last purchase I made- was two pairs of shoes. One for work and one for the wedding in April that the whole family will be here to attend. This is rather shocking because I am NOT a shoe person. But a new, fancy outfit deserves new shoes, don't you think?

The last time I went out to dinner- was....um....er....hmmmm....Ok, it was probably this past summer when my dad and step-mom came down with my nieces. We went to Fleet Landing for lunch. We just don't go out to eat that much. I like to know where my food comes from and I like it to be organic. There are no guarantees when eating out.

Now, all you who live a much more exciting life than I, when's the last time you did these things?
