No, I haven't posted much lately.
No, I'm not likely to post much for at least another week or so.
We're busy preparing the NerdPod for Avindair to "depart the fix." In less than a week, he'll be heading off to DAVE School for a year. I'll write more about it later. Right now, I'm just concentrating on him, the kids, and my new job.
But, just to show that I'm still here, I stole this from MagicMarmot. Okay. So I just stole the questions. I made up my own answers.
1. First Name:
Kristi. Just Kristi. Not short for Christina or Christine. Spelled with a "K", not a "Ch". Spelled with an "i", not "ie" or "y". I've been explaining that since Kindergarten, so I'm well-practiced.
2. Age:
In 6 months I'll be equal to the answer to the question of life, the universe and everything.
3. Location:
At my desk, in front of the Mac I love so very much, in my darkened office in a northern Minneapolis suburb... wondering how the contents of my Diet Coke can disappeared so quickly.
4. Occupation:
New job. Web Content Manager for a major initiative of a worldwide health care insurance provider. I also do freelance writing on the side.
5. Partner:
The love of my life, Avindair.
6. Kids:
Two great kids: MonkeyDude (16) and The Alien (11). I couldn't be more proud.
7. Brothers/Sisters:
None. I'm an only child. Unless you count the cranky, but loved poodle I grew up with. We did often fight like sisters.
8. Pets:
Buddy, our sweet, black (and turning grey) poodle. AKA NerdHound, Shadow Dogbreath, Houdini Poochini, Fuzzy Butt, Waggy-Tail Dog, CatDog, and other endearing names.
9. List the 3-5 biggest things going on in your life:
-- Avindair heading off to school for a year.
-- New job.
-- Facing temporary single-mom status.
-- Learning to balance freedom / parenting for a 16-year-old boy just getting his driving permit and his first job.
-- Dealing with an increasingly hormonal 11-year-old daughter.
10. Education:
As a formal education, I have a Bachelor of Arts in English that's actually served me well. I'd love to be able to go back to school one day, just to learn about things I feel like learning about.
11. Parents:
Mom, 64, living in North Dakota to care for her elderly mother.
Dad, 67, living in Mississippi to care for his elderly mother.
12. Who are some of your closest friends?
My husband is my closest friend. But outside the NerdPod locally, it would be MagicMarmot, Saveau and Garret. PenMaster and Bunnie from afar.

Getting High... Legally!
Time for some silliness! It's going to be a long day at the theater, so I'm putting my brain on hold for a few hours. Behold! A meme ganked from Magic Marmot!
1. Did you date someone from your school?
Yes. I had a few dates.
2. Did you win anything in Senior's Who's Who?
Not that I remember.
3. What kind of car did you drive?
A dark blue, 1980 Dodge Omni. Loved that car!
4. It's Friday night...where r u at?
Usually hung out with my girlfriends. We were like the four musketeers.
5. Were you a party animal?
Ha! No. Not me. I played by the rules 90% of the time.
6. Were you considered a flirt?
No. I didn't know HOW to.
7. Were you in band, orchestra, or choir?
Orchestra (viola) and choir.
8. Were you a nerd?
Of a kind. In the '80's, nerds were supposed to be socially awkward guys with tape on their glasses. I was a theater/music/speech nerd. Knew I was different, but later embraced my nerd-dom.
9. Did you get suspended/expelled?
Nope. Never got in trouble in high school.
10. Can you sing the fight song?
I remember the whole damn thing!
11. Who were your favorite teachers?
My theater teacher, Cyndee Brown. She was a big influence. My French teacher, whose name shamefully escapes me at the moment.
12. Where did you sit during lunch?
As a sophomore, mostly at our theater/music/speech table. As a junior and senior I transitioned to mostly walking downtown and getting something really bad for me, like a Baby Ruth bar and a Coke!
13. What was your school's full name?
Grand Forks Central High School
14. School mascot?
An Indian... or should I say "Native American"? We were the politically incorrect "Redskins" back then.
15. Homecoming court?
Ha! Not a chance!
16. If you could go back and do it again, would you?
I'm sure there are some things I would have done differently, but even the mistakes molded me.
17. What do you remember most about graduation?
Eh. I remember it. Don't think much about it.
18. Where did you go senior skip day?
There was a Skip Day?
19. Have u gained some weight since then?
Oh, yeah.
20. Who was your Senior prom date?
I didn't get invited to Senior Prom. I threw a party for the girls I knew that didn't get invited.
21. Are you planning on going to your 10 year reunion?
I went to the 10-year and the 20-year. With the exception of a few people we spent time with, it was generally the same cliques and bullshit 20 years on.
22. Who was your home room teacher?
I don't even remember. I was never IN homeroom. That's when they fit in orchestra class.
23. Who will repost
Not a clue.
24. Did you play any sports?
No. But I did go to the occasional game. To quote the original "high school musical", Grease, "If you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter!"
25. Do you still talk to people from school?
A few. One I talk to every day, my husband!
26. What year did you graduate?
1985

I also distinctly remember being Sabrina (from the Bewitched TV series) with the once-poplar horrible plastic mask and poncho-style plastic overdrape. Remember those?!
59. What is the wallpaper on your cellphone?
Cool blue spirals.

20 Questions
Yes, I know. I haven't had an original post in weeks. Recovering from the holidays. Keeping up with clients. Searching for a new gig. Dealing with life. Some good, some bad, some ugly... some really good... but that's life.
So, until I get my ass in gear and write something meaningful - enjoy another meme.
1. Elaborate on your default icon.
To tell the truth, I haven't taken the time to figure out how to post an icon on Blogger. I do have one on Live Journal -- me as Cassie Banning. I only have a Live Journal account to post to friend's blogs!
2. What's your current relationship status?
Very. Happily. Ever after. Married!
3. Ever have a near-death experience?
In what sense? Me, personally near-death? Not that I remember. Damn those black outs.
4. Name an obvious quality you have.
Calm.
5. What's the name of the song that's stuck in your head right now?
There's actually an entire CD lodged just above my left temple. Man, that stings!
6. Name a celebrity you would marry.
Kate Winslet -- oh, wait -- a guy? Hmmm... it would have to be someone smart and talented... Kenneth Branagh?
7. Who will cut and paste this first?
Of the 3.6 people who read my blog - no clue.
8. Has anyone ever said you look like a celebrity?
Yup. Kelly McGillis.
9. Do you wear a watch?
Rarely.
10. Do you have anything pierced?
Two piercings in each ear.
11. Do you have any tattoos?
Not yet.
12. Do you like pain?
Are you kidding? Four words - labor and delivery... twice. I adore my children and couldn't imagine my life without them. But labor pains are really quite spectacular and enough for a lifetime!
13. Do you like to shop?
Only when it's not necessary. Hate grocery shopping. Hate clothes shopping. Love browsing bookstores, home improvement stores, clearance shelves just about everywhere, and places like Pier 1.
14. What was the last thing you paid for with cash?
A bottle of flavored water.
15. What was the last thing you paid for with your credit card?
Food.
16. Who was the last person you spoke to on the phone?
An annoying sales call from one of our credit cards trying to get us to add a premium "service" for a small additional fee. Yeah, right.
17. What is on your desktop background?
Computer 1: The kids splashing in the sunset surf of the Gulf Coast in Gulfport, MS. Computer 2: Da Vinci drawings
18. What is the background on your cell phone?
Red satin. Sexy!
19. What was the last movie you watched?
Fell asleep to "Episode 3: When Good Anakin's Go Bad". I think I watched it for 5 minutes. But had to stay awake for Palpatine and Anakin's chat during the zero-G ballet. As Avindair says, "Ian McDiarmid is the shit!" (In a good way.)
20. What was the last book you read?
I'm in the middle of at least two right now, "London" by Edward Rutherford and "Incubus Dreams" by Laurell K. Hamilton. The last one I finished? Does "Strangers in Paradise: Vol 2" count?

Thinking ahead...
Okay, folks. I know this is nothing more than blog-fluff, but I haven't had the mental capacity to do much more than this for the past several weeks. That being said, I'm finally on the upswing of the moody scale and this helped put me on the path to a little holiday cheer today. Enjoy!
1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate?
A hot chocolate substitute... hot Ovaltine. Just as tasty and more vitamins.
2. Does Santa wrap presents or just set them under the tree?
Sants doesn't wrap presents. His elves do.
3. Colored lights on tree/house or white?
White. I love the simplicity of it.
4. Do you hang a mistletoe?
I don't think I ever have.
5. When do you put your decorations up?
When I have the time. Ideally, right after Thanksgiving, but I'm behind schedule right now.
6. What is your favorite holiday dish?
Family and friends. The food could be frozen pizza for all I care.
7. Favorite Holiday memory as a child?
Any Christmas that my Uncle Dale came to visit. That was a present in itself.
8. When and how did you learn the truth about Santa?
I don't recall exactly. Although I do vaguely remember asking my Mom about it and her answering that people that are generous and giving are the real Santas.
9. Do you open a gift on Christmas Eve?
When I was a kid, after I knew there was no Santa, we opened all our gifts on Christmas Eve. Now, everyone gets to open one on Christmas Eve before bed. The rest get opened in the morning. A mix of Avindair's family traditions and mine.
10. How do you decorate your Christmas tree?
That's an odd question. I use wild weasels to string the lights, squirrels to hand the ornaments, a trained monkey to plug everything in, and then a big Rottweiler to chase them all out of the house when we're done.
11. Snow - love it or hate?
As much of a pain in the ass it can be, I love it. If I have to be cold, I want pretty snow to look at and play in.
12. Can you ice skate?
I owned skates ONE winter as a kid, skating at an outdoor rink in North Dakota. I was terrible at it. Now I wish I'd done it more and learned. I think I just hated falling down on the bumpy ice.
13. Do you remember your favorite gift?
I had to revise this answer. My first favorite was a thin gold necklace and bracelet from Avindair. He'd really taken to heart the one thing I asked for. It was thoughtful, simple and beautiful. The second was last Christmas from my mom, dad and grandma. Mom took me out to pick out a ring with matching earrings. Something that they knew I would like, and would be able to keep, use and value for the rest of my days. That was my one gift from them and I absolutely loved it.
It makes me sound like a jewelry fiend... but I'm not!
14. What's the most exciting thing about the Holidays for you?
Seeing the anticipation in my children's eyes.
15. What is your favorite holiday Dessert?
Pumpkin pie... all winter long.
16. What is your favorite holiday tradition?
It used to be writing a thank you note to the kids from Santa along with the half-eaten milk and cookies... as well as some nibbled-on carrots the reindeer left behind. Now I think it's just the whole family gathering in our jammies and fluffy robes for popcorn and a movie in front of the fireplace.
17. What tops your tree?
There's an ornament around here somewhere...
18. Which do you prefer giving or receiving?
Receiving is nice, but I love giving.
19. What is your favorite Christmas song?
"White Christmas". I'm a sucker for Irving Berlin.
20. Candy canes?
Eh. I'm not a big fan, but the kids love them. And they look nice on the tree and on garlands.
