New Levels of Success

That's right! We have achieved a new level of success. Previously, we had only managed to attain to blue mold on the corn we forgot in the fridge, but on this last round, we achieved red! It was so pretty, mixed in with the white and blue mold, and contrasted by the stark yellow of the corn (well, what you could see of it around the mold, anyway). It brought a tear to my eye. What new heights will we achieve next time? Stay tuned....

Speeding Ticket

Man, I hate photo radar. I hate speeding tickets! I swear that I'm one of the most anal people when it comes to speeding and stopping at stop signs, and yet I seem to get more than my share of tickets. (Insert an annoyed grunt, followed by a resigned sigh here). Oh well. Guess there's nothing to do but pay it.

Survey

OK, my turn to do one of these.

1. What is your full name? Christopher Blake Ulriksen
2. What color pants are you wearing? blue (jeans)
3. What are you listening to right now? Dishwasher
4. What was the last thing you ate? Peas that Darrian had squished then didn't want to eat. Or maybe he had spit them out. I don't remember.
5. Do you wish on stars? Never been on a star in my life.
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? Puce - it doesn't get enough respect
7. How is the weather right now? clouds, wind, and a light rain.
8. Last person you spoke to on the phone? Haeli Carter
9. Do you like the person who sent this to you? Yep (Wow! Talk about a loaded question!! Who in their right mind would say "no"?)
10. How old are you today? 28 years, 10 months and 11 days
11. Favorite drink? No idea. I drink milk a lot, but I don't think it's my favorite. Root Beer and Iced Tea are my favorite pops, but I don't know if they are my favorite drink!
12. Favorite sport? Whatever is being played, or shown on TV, right now.
13. Hair color? Light brown - what's left of it!
14. Favorite Place? My happy place......
15. Favorite Time of Day? Evening, after the kids are in bed!
16. Favorite month? July ?
17. Favorite food? Definitely pizza. And after that, um, pizza. And after that...you get the picture.
18. What was the last movie you saw? The Greatest Game Ever Played (although I saw the last half of The Legend of Bagger Vance after that - two golf movies in a row!)
19. Favorite day of the year? Christmas?
20. What do you do to vent anger? Go postal! No, wait...that's only my imagination. Usually I just clam up and don't say anything, and go somewhere by myself and get over it.
21. What was your favorite toy as a child? Transformers
22. Summer or winter? Summer
23. Hugs or kisses? Hugs - they're way more versatile. Anyone (almost) can get a hug, but only a select few get kisses. Although, I gotta admit, those can be pretty good, too, in the right setting.
24. Chocolate or vanilla? Vanilla
25. Do you want your friends to e-mail you back? Doesn't matter.
26. Who is most likely to respond? Not sure - Darrell, maybe. Or Pete (not necessarily filling this in, just responding).
27. Who is least likely to respond? Greg Roberts (especially since I'm not sending this to him!)
28. When was the last time you cried? Wow. A long time ago. I remember crying once before Terra and I were married. I might have cried since then, but I'm not sure. I've come close a few times (during sad parts of movies with sappy music), but I don't think I've actually cried.
29. What is under your bed? Dust, and whatever items Darrian has decided to throw there (quite a large smorgasborg, actually)
30. Who is the friend you have had the longest? Pete
31. What did you do last night? Watched a video on the creation/evolution debate. It was very interesting.
34. Favorite car? That I've owned - probably my Toyota Corolla (my first car). Favorite car ever? Not sure. The Dodge Shadow sticks out in my mind, but I don't really know that it was that spectacular - it just struck me as neat at that time of my life. By the way, I have no idea what happened to questions 32 and 33.
35. Favorite flower? Ewwww....that's a girly question!! :)
36. Number of keys on your key ring? Let's see...1, 2, 3, and 1. Maybe I should consolidate some key rings....
37. How many years at your current job? 5 months (3 years 7 months at my current profession)
38. Favorite day of the week? Monday - my day off.
39. What did you do on your last birthday? I have no idea. That was almost a year ago.
40. How many provinces have you lived in? 2 provinces, 2 states (Distrito Federal, and el Estado de Mexico)
41. How many cities have you lived in? 3 (Calgary,Regina, and Mexico City). Plus 6 towns (Kelstern, Caronport, San Luis, Warmon, Mannville and Tofield).
