Love it Angie. :-) You sound like such a fun person!
And do you have an official zit-picking tool?
I do.
Well. . . actually it belongs to my daughters.
I agree with Jessica...you are such a fun person! You always bring a smile and giggle to my day!
As for #4...I'm getting my hair done today and it always cheers me up.
Oh, hee hee- this was fun to read, Angie!
And why is today special? Probably because my husband passed his school finals yesterday and has 10 days off till the next quarter! Yay!!
:)
This is great nice to know those fun facts about you.
#4 Today is special to me because I am one day closer to my dreams,one day beyond my past.
To end on a really corny but true note,
"Because today is the first day of the rest of my life"
I think I first heard that in the 70s and I have learned to appreciate that.
This is great, Angie! I like the quick peep into those other parts of you.
And I think memes are generally pretty fun. So far, nothing special about today, though. I'll get back to you. ;)
I wish you could shoot rainbows from your fingers, too!! :)
So much fun to learn more about you. I share the zit thing, so you're not alone. :-)
Today is special because Carrie and I are taking a class together and it starts this morning. Wish you could be here with us.
I'm a zit picker too. I'll need concealor at my funeral. :O)
Angie, great answers! Thanks for playing along. You're the best. I would say today is special because (1) you answered the meme I sent and (2) it's my husband Kirk and his twin sister's birthday today.
Agentese - I laughed out loud at the one! You have a great sense of humor. But I guess it just comes with the Louisiana bloodline, am I right? ;-)
I loved your super power question. Shooting rainbows from fingertips... quite original!
As for #4, today is special because I hope to have my synopsis done and to tweak the first chapters of my ms so I can get this sent out to the waiting agent who requested material.
number 15: Can I come?
Number 4: Because nothing exploded overnight. ;)
These are great, Angie. I share #13's wish with you!!
Thanks Jessica. My kids would tell you Mom's crazy. :P
AMoS - actually I do, but there's another one I covet. (Do you pick self and/or others?) LOL
Donna - I'll be thinking of you while I'm getting my roots dyed today!
That's FAB news, Red Bird. Yay!
Analisa - It may be corny, but I like that saying myself. :)
So glad I didn't scare you with that peek inside, Janna. LOL. (Sending you wishes for a special moment today.)
Scobberlotcher - Thanks! Wouldn't it be fun to shoot out prisms of color? Especially on dark dreary days!
Deb - Zit Pickers unite? (Did I mention I really love picking others' zits?!) And on the yoga, please hug each other and think of me in the middle. A bloggy friend sammich. :D
LOL Diane. Picking others' zits offers same rewards and no need for concealor.
Thanks again for the tag, Mandy. Yeah, I think I'm whackadoodle b/c of my heritage...all them good Cajun, Sicilian, Scotch Irish, Indian, etc. strands of DNA all tangled up together. heheeeeeeee
Michelle - Perhaps I shall become the artist Rainbow Brite, formerly known as Gumbo Writer?
Best o' luck with the revisions!!!
You're most welcome on the deserted island, Suzanne. We'll impose quiet time from 3:00 til the sun goes down so we can at least say we didn't yap the whole time. :D Hear ya on the non-explosion!
Thanks Eileen. Let's hope/pray for each other, k?
Great job, Angie! You are so "canaille" (kah-nigh), sha.
I love learning more about you. And yes, I think you are out of luck with your choice of weather:)
Okay, I know my post today wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea, but picking zits? Yuck.
As for why today is special, it is the same reason every day is special. I am alive and every day that I am alive means that my past is filled with more good memories than it was yesterday.
Yes, I'm that annoying "glass-half-full" person you're always hearing about.
I'm gonnna do this on my blog - I think *laugh*
why is today special? I just had a nap. ha.
I would love to be able to shoot rainbows out of my fingertips, too!! LOL!! Love your answers!!
Why is today special? My boyfriend sang "You are my Sunshine" to me from 5000 miles away!
Margerite, I'll take that as a compliment, even though it was one of my hubby's nicknames growing up. :D
Can't imagine why, Debbie, but thanks.
Suldawg - I know you're not saying anything about my posts since you've written widely on boogers and other nasties! LOL. But I AM glad you're an optimist. World needs more of those!
You got a nap, Kat? I can't believe it. Yay!
Thanks Cheffie. It's either the rainbow fingers or magic wand/wooden spoon. hehe
Joey - what AWESOME news!
Ok I'm hurt. You didn't pick me to do lunch with. :))
17) What super power would you like to possess? I'd like to be able to shoot rainbows out of my fingertips. LOL
Hilarious! You are no greedy seeker of power :)!
Why is today special? 4:30 happy hour with a client!!!!!
What do I think of meme's? I love reading other people's, but I hate responding to them myself.
OMG did I really just do that? MEMES, not meme's . . .
Today is special because I learned all about Angie L.
LOL Terri. Love ya!
TTWC - Think how popular I'd be in bad weather, and at birthday parties, outdoor events, the greeting card industry, political events..... :D
Amie - Hope your happy hour was great, and I laughed with you on the typo.
Nannette, Boo, you had a dull day. LOL
Special day because I got to watch the kids race. They are just about finished learning to run, now they learn to race. You know where I am coming from. I am in the same boat with Suldog. Being up beats being down. Easier to do too.

I think memes have their place, but for me, blogging is time consuming enough already, I just don't have time.
My daughter is obsessed with zits too!
Angie, when you get your superpower, do give me a call. I'd love to see that. Actually, I'd love to do that!
Why is today special? Because I had the day off, and I was able to visit lots of bloggy friends. I've had a great day.
This day is special to me because: We got a tiny new kitten today. Named him Rosy. My other 5 year old cat is getting used to having anything in apartment besides big humans and spiders. I think she's all hissy-fitted out.
I like memes. I'm not always able to respond to them right away and I have very few people I can tag that didn't have the meme before I got it.
