Damn...I read through your answers and think "Now why didn't I say that?"

12. WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCE?
My electric mixer. I still love to lick the beaters.

One of my very favorite things when I was a kid was waiting for the beaters when my mother baked. My sister Jane and I might argue about who got the bowl, but the beaters were mine. Even long after I was an adult, and long after my mother was quite insane, if I were visiting and she baked, she saved the beaters for me.

Ha! We had the beater vs. bowl debate many times at my house as well. My grandmother would split the beaters between us...which reminds me of the "one kids get to half it and the other kid chooses" rule. Both my brother and I can half something with mathematical precision because of that rule. ; )

Depo castrati

Can you lend me your magic sterilization ray? I have so many candidates for it....

Re: Depo castrati

[catelin.livejournal.com]

Depo castrati!! That is so perfect!! "I HAVE THE POWER OF DEPO CASTRATI!" I love the sound of that! If only, eh?

[doctorgogol.livejournal.com]

Tsk tsk... how is it, my dear, that number three was left blank, hmmmmmmmmmmmm?

[catelin.livejournal.com]

Why, dear doctor, that question was not left blank at all...the answer's right there. ; )

2. WHAT'S THE MOST MEMORABLE THING YOU HAVE READ?
The name of someone I loved carved on the National Law Enforcement Officer's Memorial in D.C.

The impact of just reading this has hit me hard. Down low, deep inside of me, places that rattle me to the core.

How tough yet how honorable. Thank you.

A big sloppy hug to you, Auntie...you are spectacular.

Oh no, Silvia!! They are BEAUTIFUL y las voy a usar en la edici?n que va a salir a fines de este mes. Te mand? una notita pidi?ndote que me mandaras tu biograf?a y una foto. That was a couple of weeks ago. I also asked if you wanted to translate the piece you sent or if you wanted me to...porque la quiero poner en las dos idiomas. : ) As for the waking up part...after you have children, you never sleep again! ; )

Weeee!!

*blushes*

[que burra soy]
i didn't get any note.dunno.
Oh dios! en verdad lo vas a hacer?
:*)
I don't think que puedo traducirlo perfecto, hay mucho vocabulario que nose en english...
?no est?s muy ocupada?
podr?a hacer el intento.

- i don't know if i want children!
i guess i am a lazy potatoe. tee hee
[or selfish girl maybe :b]

Re: Weeee!!

[catelin.livejournal.com]

A tu edad, I would be worried about you if you wanted children. Est?s en la ?poca de tu vida para ser "selfish"...Go! Live! Have fun!!! There's plenty of time for children later, after you give yourself the chance to grow up! Los ni?os son preciosos, pero creo que es muy importante vivir a todo dar antes de ser madre. That way you don't wonder about what you might have missed. En cuanto a la traducci?n, why don't we do it together? If you could try it first, then I could go through it...podr?a ayudarte con los detalles despu?s, si quieres. We can get it done, no te preocupes. : )

Re: Weeee!!

[fakeazulhair.livejournal.com]

awww
tus consejos son los mejores i do really like them tons.
i am trying to have fun! [por eso sigo desempleada LOL!]

??Claro que lo intento!!
Could you mind to send me the text i sent to you before?
No recuerdo bien qu? fue ya que lo tuve que cortar.
Recuerdo que te dije que era una worrywart.
