Six Unexpected Things About Sarah Palin

Posted by Daddy Forever on Wednesday, October 15, 2008 : : 15 comments

Just kidding. This post isn’t about Sarah Palin. It’s about me, me, me. Last week, I was tagged by Peepnroosmom for the six unexpected things meme:

  1. Part of me is hoping Sarah Palin makes it to the White House
    The Tina Fey SNL skits makes me laugh and I want to see more. I know laughter is not a good reason for voting for someone, but considering how experienced people in the White House and Wall Street have screwed up the economy, I think we can all use a little laughter right now.

  2. I glare at people when I drive
    I can’t help it. Sometimes other drivers just annoy me — like when I’m waiting my turn at a four-way stop. Then a car makes a running stop and cuts in front of everyone. In my younger days, I would have flipped them off. But I’m more mature now. That’s why I just glare at them when they drive by. Then I use my in-car transporter and transport them to my in-laws’ house.

  3. My wife and two oldest kids speak Chinese better than I do
    I know this is quite embarrassing — especially since I’m Chinese and my wife isn’t. And no, you don’t need to remind me my two oldest kids are only eight and five. In my defense, I’m the only one in the family who can speak Klingon.

  4. I’m not afraid of heights
    Based on previous posts, some of you may think I’m afraid of height. Not true. I’m only afraid of falling from high places. And it doesn’t help when you have clay tiles. Did you know clay tiles are not nailed to the roof and they shift a little when you walk on them?

  5. I have an MBA
    I bet you thought I was just a geek with an engineering degree. Well, I do have an engineering degree, but I also have an MBA. Someday, I will fulfill my dream and become a Wall Street executive and get my share of the bailout.

  6. I wasn’t always frugal
    I use to be normal and bought stuff without comparing prices. But after my kids chopped down the money tree, I learned to shop around and wait for sales.

Hubby has an engineering BS and an MBA; he’s still a geek and proud of it! (I also have an MBA, but no geek degree.)

We should start a mortgage company together.

You speak Klingon too? Heights don’t scare me, after all there’s only one direction you can fall…

Of course I speak Klingon. I’m also teaching the language to my kids. So far they have mastered “kapla!”

I don’t speak Chinese but I love to eat Chinese, does that count for any thing?

Not yet, but if you eat enough Chinese food you’ll eventually speak the language. Obviously, I didn’t enough Chinese food.

That’s right, I’m not just another pretty face. I hate it when people only think of me as a sex object.

I’m not Achumawi like my husband, but what little Native language is spoken in our house - I’m the one doing it.

Interesting. I had to look up “Achumawi.” I’ve never heard of them before.

Thanks for doing the meme! I glare at people, too. And talk to them. Especially at four way stops. Why can’t people just take turns?

Because they are jerks.

now that’s two comments in a row from Jenx67 that you have had to look up … I knew both without looking up - does that make me MBA worthy …

And both are non aussie terms - to cluey for words eh …

Oh course you could retort and say I read about them on Jen’s blog and you would be right … le

I’m probably the kind of driver you glare at. I’m not proud of that, just aware.
