My name is Emma and I am a blogging thief

I stole this from Sandra at Over Here. I have nothing against theft if it gives me something to write about without making me think of something to write about. You know what I mean? I have done so much stealing in the recent past that some of these questions and answers may be familiar to my dwindling regular readership.

[PAST]
1. Your first grade teacher: Mrs. Windsor. She had red hair. I think she was English, but I can't recall an accent. She took us on a field trip to her house.
2. Last word you said: Mummy. As in "Come with Mummy" to Sophie.
3. Last song you sang: "Downtown" by Petula Clark. It is currently being used in a Fido commercial. It reminds me of the summer I was 13 and went to England. I used to watch that breakfast program with Philip Scofield (or however it was spelled) and they used that song to show pictures of kids hanging about.
4. Last person you hugged: Sophie, who is currently in my arms.
5. Last thing you laughed at: Saoirse, who is generally the funniest person going.
6. Last time you said I don’t remember: I don't remember. Ummm, which would make my new answer 'just now.'
7. Last time you cried: This morning. Baby blues. My friend cancelled a trip to Costco because she would rather go garage sale-ing, and instead of asking me to go with her she said "I know you're not up to getting in and out of the van." Good God, I am sensitive these days.

[PRESENT]
8. What colour socks are you wearing: It's summer. Who wears socks in the summer?
9. What’s under your bed: Saoirse's crib mattress. A futile attempt to get her at least out of the bed, if not our room.
10. What time did you wake up today: 5 something for Sophie to eat, a brief moment at 6.30 when the alarm went off for William, and then for good at about 10 to 8.
11. Current taste: Taste for what? Clothes? Comfy. Food? Edible, preferably prepared by someone else. Music? I'm easy too please.
12. Current hair: Blonde, dull, needs a style.
13. Current annoyance: What doesn't annoy me these days?
14. Current longing: A good nights sleep.
15. Current desktop background: James Blunt. Much to William's annoyance I am sure.
16. Current worry: What doesn't worry me these days?
17. Current hate: Hate's an awfully strong word.

19. Favourite physical feature of the preferred sex: Eyes and a wee bit of a tummy.
20. Last CD that you listened to: The Thrills, I think. Maybe it was the Dixie Chicks.
21. Favourite place to be: Where my family is, when they are all pleasant.
22. Least favourite place: Work. Dreading June, so I am.

And there we go. A little bit more about me. Tell me when you're tired of hearing about me, me, me. If not I am liable to open myself up to questions (a la Silly Hily, who at least has enough readers that chances are someone is going to ask and, alas, people did and she did answer.)
