So I was tagged for this one by a lovely gal named Susan.  Tagged!  Me!  Doesn’t happen very often.  And I like to try to obey when it does.  So even though I did a big ol’ long meme this morning I’m doing another one this afternoon.  You’re just gonna have to deal with it.

Four places I go over and over:

1. Whole Foods.  We just cannot stay away.  I think Kile is even more affected by it than I am.  He can’t resist the cheese counter and I am always and forever drooling over the baked goods.
2. Sam’s Club.  Not only do they have the cheapest lunch in town (hot dog and a soda for $1.50!), but there’s always plenty to look at there.  Not to mention all the free samples.  And the cheap milk.
3. Walmart.  Yeah, this surprises no one.  But I can’t resist the rock-bottom prices on my grocery items.
4. Smiths.  It’s the closest store to our house and when we need to pick something up quick, that’s where we go.

Four places I’d rather be right now:

1. Asleep.  I pretty much always would like to be asleep over anything else.
2. On a beach somewhere.  Sans children, of course.  I love them but sometimes a break would be nice.
3. Visiting my dear friend Brit.  She’s a rock.
4. Nowhere.  I’m pretty much a homebody and being here at home is almost always exactly where I want to be.

Four TV shows I watch:

1. “How I Met Your Mother”
2. “Real Time with Bill Maher”
3. “True Blood”
4. “Fringe”

Four things I eat for breakfast:

1. Cereal.  More often than not, I have cereal for breakfast.  Not exciting, but what can ya do?
2. Bagel with cream cheese.  I love bagels.  MMM!
3. Biscuits or cinnamon rolls.  This is mostly on weekends.
4. French toast.  One of my favorite breakfasts of all time.

Four animals I like best:

1. I’m pretty fond of rat terriers, which is why we have two of them.
2. I’d love to have a bearded dragon lizard someday.  I’ve always thought they were cool.
3. Yeah, I’m one of those people who thinks hedgehogs are pretty darn cute these days.
4. Cats.  Yeah, I guess I still like them, despite the horror that was Tiger.

Four beaches I’ve been to:

• Capitola Beach in Capitola, CA.
• New Brighton Beach State Park.  We used to go camping there every summer when I was a kid.
• Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.  A must-visit every summer for thrill rides and cute lifeguards.
• Some nude beach near Santa Cruz.  I didn’t know it was a nude beach beforehand and I was only ten when my brother and his girlfriend took me and my friend there.  Did they know?  I never found out.

Four people I am tagging: You know I’m crappy at tagging people.  So I’m not going to.  Simple as that.

I caught this particular meme over at Sizzle’s joint and you know me.  It’s a weekend, I’m tired and a good, fun, meme is just what the doctor ordered.  I did what any self-respecting blogger would do: I blatantly stole it.  I swear, I even used a lot of her choices.  I’M SO ORIGINAL.  I couldn’t stop there and had to steal some of the choices from the gal she got the idea from in the first place.  So that makes me DOUBLY original.  So here you go (and now you know how screwed up my priorities REALLY are):

• coffee over tea
• bed head over flat iron
• Grey’s Anatomy over ER
• the movie over the book (generally because I lack time for the book, even though the book is almost ALWAYS better.  However, if the movie is really good I will usually read the book and prefer it.)
• the Jackson Five over the Keating 5
• roses over dahlias
• acoustic guitar over electric guitar
• the theater over the sports arena
• sitting in the audience over talking to the crowd (this should come as no surprise to anyone)
• tacos over burritos (interesting… ten years ago I would have said the opposite!)
• yoga pants over running shorts (the main problem with the latter being that they’re SHORTS)
• Twitter over IM
• painted toenails over painted fingernails (I think painted toenails are a necessity in the summer months, if not all year long)
• silence to noise
• sunset over sunrise (one requires me to up early and the other does not)
• American Idol over American Gladiator
• getting wet over using an umbrella (umbrellas have never seemed to be worth the trouble)
• peanut butter over jelly
• Jon Stewart over John McCain (was there ever a question???)
• humming over whistling
• Stacy over Clinton (though I’d probably be just as happy to have both of them raid my wardrobe)
• breakfast over lunch (breakfast is one of my favorite meals to order in a restaurant)
• Winter over Autumn (but just barely.  Still, nothing can compete with snow.)
• Henry Rollins over Henry Fonda
• pants over dresses (I want to love dresses, but they’re just so darned drafty)
• following over leading
• nights over mornings
• sitting still over dancing (though it really does depend on the song)
• the beach over the desert (by FAR and it’s not just about the waves)
• smiling over frowning
• tanned over freckles (though my skin would beg to differ)
• brain fart over brain freeze (seriously, the latter can just really hurt, as I’ve recently discovered)
• eating a pickle over being in a pickle (then again, I’ve enjoyed pickles since I was knee high to a grasshopper)
• making people laugh over making people cry
• Christmas over birthdays (everyone gets into Christmas.  No one gives a shit about my birthday.)
• chaos over organization (I’d like to say the opposite, but have you seen my house??)
• being the passenger over being behind the wheel (I’ve never really liked driving that much)
• ketchup over salsa
• Hillary over Bill (it used to be the other way around, but this particular election left a bad taste in my mouth)
• too cold over too hot (how is it that I’m not living in Alaska??)
• manicures over massages
• essay writing over test taking (I could always bs my way through an essay much easier than straightforward test questions)
• Woody Allen over Woody Harrelson
• Jefferson over Washington
• salt over pepper
• Llyod Dobbler over Ferris Buller
• Everyone over Karl Rove (I blame him entirely for the atrocity that is George W. Bush)
• Rachel Maddow over Everyone (I puffy pink heart love her)
• too fast over too slow
• doctor visits over dentist visits (by FAR.  As reluctant as I’ve been to go to the doctor, I haven’t been to the dentist in over TEN YEARS)
• star gazing over Star! reading
• house salad over Caesar salad (and, for whatever reason, I really like it with ranch dressing and salt)
• Nicole over Paris (one is at least TRYING to be a responsible adult)
• cocktails over beer (I just don’t like the taste of most beer)
• not trying over making the mistake
• milkshake over smoothies (I HATE smoothies)
• Reno over Las Vegas (duh)
• fruit over chocolate (give me strawberry ice cream ANY DAY)
• knee high boots over stilettos (or really, pretty much any kind of shoe over any other kind of shoe with a heel)
• Matt over Ben
• avoidance over confrontation
• Italian food over Chinese food
• too much over too little (unfortunately for me and my messy house)
• Pride and Prejudice over Sense and Sensibility (but just barely because I liked both) (and I am ashamed to say that I’m talking about the movies here)
• CBS over NBC (one has “How I Met Your Mother”, one does not)
• spending over saving (sadly.  Fortunately there isn’t much to spend!)
• salty over sweet (generally but not always.  but generally)
• dogs over cats (another one that I wouldn’t have guessed ten years ago)
• OBAMA over Hillary
• lipgloss over lipstick
• J.K Rowling over J.R. R Tokien
• Jennifer Garner over Jennifer Lopez (EASY)
• sense of humor over sense of style
• Jeopardy! over Wheel of Fortune
• pro-choice over pro-life (but only politically)
• Rockstar over Coke
• The Breakfast Club over Dirty Dancing
• pirates over ninjas
• Stewart over Colbert
• french toast over french fries
• Ariel over Cinderella
• The Oscars over The Olympics
• Steve over Joe (any “Blue’s Clues” fan will agree with me)
• “Armageddon” over “Deep Impact”
• Sawyer over Jack
• iPhone over any other cellphone
• Wii over Xbox 360
• minivan over SUV

Okay, that’s enough.  I think I could probably keep this going all day long.  So what do you think?  Do you agree with me or do you think I’m messed in the head?  Go ahead.  You can tell me.  I can take it.
