1. What jewlery do you wear every day?

2. How often do you put on lipbalm?

3. What is the craziest (real) excuse you've used for being late to work?

I might have a winner for 3. I just pulled my shirt out of the dryer and found a HUGE tear down the sleeve.

1. My silver clauddagh ring. Used to wear my compass rose pendant every day until the chain broke and I lost the damn thing.

2. At work lives on my desk so I am not always having to dig it out of my bag. I use it a lot.

3. "I was tied up with something."

1. Umm my metal barbells
2. A few times a day cuz I like the feel *giggles*
3. The day it rained a few inches in the city and the subways where shut down....took me 3 hours to get to midtown by bus when it normally takes me 20mins by train...

1. My handfasting ring from Maria, on my left hand. My ring of protection (pentacle symbol) on my right hand. And my Heart of Infinity Pin from Rich on the front of whatever shirt/blouse/dress I happen to be wearing at the time. :)

2. I use carmex from time to time.

3. Since I have never had a job, I've never had to have an excuse.

1) A silver chain with a tree of life pendant on it, three silver Celtic knot earrings and a hoop, a gold ring, a silver puzzle ring, and my silver Celtic animals 'wedding' ring.

2) More often than I probably should...I'm a tiny bit addicted.

3) When I was sick over the summer, Von wanted me to stay home one day...or at least go in a little late. He mistakenly remembered my agreeing, the night before, to go in for 11am instead of my usual 10am...so he let me sleep. I rolled over and looked at the time at 10:05am and panicked. (My boss knew I was unwell and just laughed when I called to explain what happened...) :)

1.) My engagement and wedding ring and my garnet stud earrings.
2.) More than I need to.
3.) I got to a point when I worked at walmart where I didn't bather making up excuses. They'd say, "you're late!" and I'd say, "Oh well!" I hated it there and it was almost impossible to get fired, so I didn't care.

1. Watch and ring, chain with floating heart, and almost always earrings of some sort.
2. Approximately every three minutes.
3. My car was so frozen it wouldn't start. After trying for about a half hour it finally did, but not until I after I called my boss and said "um, I am totally going to be late because my car is literally frozen." She understood.

1. My promise ring from Mike. What is it a promise of? Why, to buy me a bigger diamond some day, of course! I used to wear my hematite clock pendant every day, but the battery ran out about a year ago and I never got it replaced.

2. Every once in a while, if I've got particulary dry lips.

3. There was traffic, so we got off the highway at the downtown exit, ran into about three one-way streets, went down one the wrong way, ended up taking a street that we thought would put us back on the highway, but instead took us over the Mississippi River and into Illinois. Once in IL, we had to go about 4 miles before there was an exit where we could turn around. Once we did, we had to go back over the river the other direction and got caught in stop-and-go traffic the whole way back.
I was, surprisingly, only about an hour late for work. The kicker is, I only live 10 minutes away from my workplace.

1. My small silver hoop earrings.

2. All through the day and every single night. I'm kind of addicted.

3. I think I probably win. One time I got hit by a flying screen door. It flew off the back of a truck and slapped against my windshield. Fortunately I wasn't hurt, but I did have to stop and do all the "accident" paperwork, resulting in lateness for work. When I told my boss I'd been hit by a flying screen door on the interstate, I'm *pretty* sure she didn't believe me.
I was also late once because my cat brought a live bird into the house and my mom and I had to catch it before it tore up the house (and my cat. It was a gigantic, very angry blackbird bent on destruction.)

1 - a baby. Does that count? :)

2 - Lip balm. Um. I've heard of that... *sigh*

3 - I could have used "my dog ate my underpants", because he did, but I didn't. I usually didn't bother with an excuse.
