I didn't wake up until after noon. More like 12:30. I kept waking up in the middle of the night and wee hours of the morning thanks to my neighbor's family. It seems one of his children and his/hers family is in town for St. Patrick's Day. There are either staying at his house or at a hotel that doesn't allow pets. Because, last night, as I was trying to go to sleep, I heard a dog barking. At first, I thought it was our dog. Nope; Ranger was quiet. Then this morning, it started raining and this dog started crying. Again, I thought it was our dog. Nope; Ranger was standing in the rain enjoying it. It couldn't see this dog next door but I know it's next door because you can hear everything from his back porch from my window.
Then, if Dog Sounds - St. Patrick's Day 2003 wasn't enough, I heard kids around 8 o'clock. Lots of noisy kids. Again, I woke up from my sleep, which after this weekend, I need. Those kids must have been outside for an hour!
Finally, they left and I got some quality sleep until 12:30. And now I'm up. This week is spring break for me. 
I still need to do my homework & work on my FASFA form. And work on my biography page a bit.
So finally, for now, I bring you my memes for today:
to all! 
2) Monday Mission:
1. Do you have any plans for "Spring Break" this year? I was wanting to go to Virginia but I'm not. Maybe this summer. This year, I'm staying home again.
2. Did you ever have any wild Spring Break experiences? C'mon, tell me the stories! No, I haven't. I'm not a wild person. Goofy, yes. Wild, no!
3. What is your most memorable vacation of your youth? I took plenty vacations as a child. It's hard to choose a favorite. While Nancy was here this weekend, my mother received an e-mail from a classmate she hadn't heard from in years. Well, I remember in 1991, I was 12, we went to this classmates house and all I remember is that Nicki and I spent most the time with her daughter or watched her son play Super Mario Bros. 3. This was during an extended summer vacation in Nashville. I spoke of this memory and Nancy jokingly asked me if I remember the time of day we visited them.
4. What was the best vacation you've ever had as an adult? I've had a few and they are all to Florida. Jacksonville to see *NSYNC, and Orlando a few times to see BBMAK & then Braves Spring Training last year. Florida is the closest vacation spot we have.
5. Now, what is that "Dream Vacation" that you have always wanted to take if you had the time & money? This question goes hand in hand with question #3 from last week's This-Or-That Tuesday. If I could afford it, I would travel all around the world and US, (world being if it's peaceful, which it's not and that scares me). And I thought of another place I would like to go to: Mt. Rushmore.
6. Have you ever take, or had the urge to take, a "blog vacation?" That is, just taking some time off from blogging? Yes. I uslly do it when I'm out of town for a weekend. Or if I'm not feeling well, I don't post. After a day or two, I want to post again.
7. You know how you get that creepy "danger" vibe you sometimes get from people you don't know? Has that ever turned out to be right? Or have you ever had a bad feeling about someone or a situation and not listened to that "little voice?" If I feel it, I avoid that person. Usually, I don't get it. Except online and in that case, I hit the ignore button and they fade away.
BONUS: Do you wanna see me beggin' baby, can't you give me just one more day? Sorry, I've never been into Cinderella but did you know this question for this week's MM is ALREADY in Google?
