The "Over-30" Survey
Nicked from koshweasley. Copy, paste, answer, and post.
I'm up and awake anyway (Little Man having nightmares, ugh), so... I figured, why not? Here goes...
1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Hmmm... the grocery bill. Why? I have two walking stomachs in my house, and you know, I buy the same amount of stuff, I use coupons, etc... but it costs more every time!!
2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
*thinks really, really hard* Um... nope, I can't remember, sorry.
3. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Sleeping!!
4. How many colleges did you attend?5. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
It was clean.
6. What are your thoughts on gas prices?
I find it interesting that they are going up, while we supposedly have a surplus. But not surprising. I'm an oilfield brat, so... this sort of thing? Business as usual.
7. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
Don't wanna get uuuuuup...
8. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
Would it kill Mr. Fireman and the Coffee Lady to TURN OFF THEIR DAMN LIGHTS???
9. Do you miss being a child?
Nope. Not one bit. Don't wanna do that again, no thank you.
10. What errand/chore do you despise?
Washing the dishes. Why? Because I'm NEVER DONE. As soon as I finish up, someone walks in with a bowl, two glasses, and a plate, I wash those, and somebody else walks in with a coffee cup, three plates, two spoons, and a fork. IT NEVER ENDS!!!
11. Get up early or sleep in?
Oh, please, please let me sleep in!! I haven't slept in since Miss Priss was born!! The Husbandly One and I BOTH desperately desire to SLEEP IN!!
12. Have you found real love yet?
Yes, yes, I have, and he's the best thing that ever happened to me, really truly true!
13. Favorite lunch meat?
Roast beef. On rye, please, with swiss cheese, lettuce, tomato, mustard and mayo...
14. What do you get every time you go into Wal-Mart?
Well, I'd rather not, and most of the time, I manage to not go to Walmart, but... when I do, it's mostly for sketch pads for Miss Priss.
15. Beach or lake?
Beach, please, even though I've grown accustomed to lakes since living in Central Texas. I much prefer the beach and salt water, even though there are so many more things in the sea that can eat me.
16. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual?
Hmmmm, depends. See, I think spending an exorbitant amount of money for a wedding is out of date, and unnecessary. Inviting two hundred people for each side of the family, and spending $1500 on the wedding dress alone, yeah, a bit much. But the ritual itself? No. Because really, standing up in front of your nearest and dearest, holding hands and basically telling everyone that this person is pretty much the one person you intend to grow old with, to wake up next to every morning, to fight and make up with, and all that stuff... I find that beautiful and wonderful.
17. Sopranos or Desperate Housewives?
Um... no.
18.What famous person would you like to have dinner with?
J. K. Rowling. So I could ask her, "Hey, book 7... what were you thinking???"
19. Have you ever crashed your vehicle?
Nope. I have been exceedingly and extraordinarily lucky and hope it continues.
20. Ever use a fire extinguisher for its intended purpose?
If the intended use of a fire extinguisher is to take it to bash someone over the back of their head, then swing it to slam someone else in the stomach, in order to stop a fight, then yes, I have!
21. Ring tone?
"Brown-Eyed Girl" Van Morrison. Because I am. Sorta. *looks at Chan*
22. Strangest place you have ever brushed your teeth?
Over a trash can in a parking lot in the Bronx. It's a LONG story.
23. Somewhere in California you've never been and would like to go?
San Francisco. Or Yosemite National Park.
24. At this point in your life would you rather start a new career or a new relationship?
New career. I happen to enjoy my relationship too much to give it up!
25. How old are you?
46
26. Do you have a go to person?
Yes.
27. Are you where you want to be in life?
Not quite, but close!
28. Growing up, what were your favorite cartoons?
Bugs Bunny, Speed Racer, Astro Boy, Scooby-Doo...
29. What about you do you think has changed the most?
My attitude.
30. Looking back at high school were they the best years of your life?
No. There's a reason I don't go to my high school reunions.
31. Are there times you still feel like a kid?
Every time I hang out with my kids, which is fun, because I never really got to be one when I was one!
32. Did you ever own troll dolls?
No! Too scary!!
33. Did you have a pager?
For both of my pregnancies.
34. Where was the hang out spot when you were a teenager?
Pizza Hut, mostly, or Lanzo's.
35. Were you the type of kid you would want your children to hang out with?
Oh, I would have gotten them in soooooo much trouble...
