I've been thinking about this for a while, this meme that does what other memes don't dare to do. Most memes are so happy-happy-feel-good things that really do serve a purpose. But one day, while reading this blog entry, I realized that I rarely admit what a flawed person I am. And believe me, I'm very, very flawed.
So, in an effort to show Allison and all others how very flawed I am, here, for your horrified enlightenment, is the Reality Check meme. Feel free to fill it out and pass it on or merely delight in my inferiority. If you brave the meme, make sure you leave me a comment to let me know where to find your post.
How many overdue library books do you currently have? None, but I have an $18.00 fine for the last ones I returned. And I just paid my previous fine off in November.
When was the last time you changed your cat's litter box? I actually have four litter boxes. Two are in the garage, and two are in the house. The two in the house have been changed this week. The two in the garage are about two weeks old.
How many things do you currently have in your house that you borrowed more than a week ago and have not returned? At least eleven, that I can count off the top of my head.
How many checks have you bounced this month? Four. They didn't actually bounce, because we have overdraft privileges with our bank (read: we don't have any money so they charge us more of it), but I had at least four checks this month that overdrew my account. Money sucks, basically.
When was the last time you said something unkind to someone? Uh...less than two hours ago.
How many people are you holding a grudge against? Nine.
How many loads of laundry are waiting to be done? At least eight.
When was the last time you changed your sheets? Three days ago.
When was your last mammogram? I've never had one.
How many days' worth of dishes are in your sink? Suprisingly, about half a day. Normally there are at least two items that have been sitting dirty for two days or more.
How many articles of clothing are laying on your bedroom floor? At least fifty. Too many to count.
How many of your bills are currently past due? Four. Five if you count the library fine.
When was your last dental appointment? Over four years ago.
How many points do you have on your driver's license? Four. I've had two speeding tickets in twelve months in which I was traveling 15 miles over the limit.
When was the last time you scrubbed your toilet? At least a week ago. I'll do it tomorrow. I promise.
Have you ever said you'd pray for someone but knew you wouldn't? Yep. I hope to change that, though, since I've created a prayer basket for our mealtimes.
What's the oldest thing in your fridge and how old is it? There's a bowl in the fridge that has a lid on it, and I have no idea what's in it. It's a fairly large bowl, but I'm afraid to look inside. I'd say it's at least two months old.
When was the last time you read your Bible? Sunday in church.
When was the last time you backed up your important files and photos? Um...I don't think I even remember when I last did this.
How many bags/containers of snack foods do you have in your house? A billion. But 95% of them are organic corn chips. Is that okay? They were given to me by a friend for Bard's dance.
Do you know where your keys are? Normally, I do. But right now, they've gone AWOL.
