Seventy questions? Why, yes!

Here's a meme for ya...

1. Are your parents married or divorced?

They’re still married, which is impressive after 30+ years.

2. Are you a vegetarian?

No, but I’m not crazy about cooking meat. I hate handling raw meat. Since Mike only knows how to cook with hamburger, we don’t eat meatful meals very often.

3. Do you believe in Heaven?

Yeah, it goes along with the whole Catholic thing.

4. Have you ever come close to dying?

No, I guess I’m dull.

5. What jewelery do you wear 24/7?

The closest I come to 24/7 jewelry is my wedding and engagement rings, although I take them off when I shower.

6. Favourite time of day?

My favorite time of day is when Mike gets home from work. By then I’ve usually decompressed from my day, and I can enjoy the rest of the evening.

7. Do you eat the stems of broccoli?

I don’t eat ANYTHING from the broccoli.

8. Do you wear makeup?

I wear it all the time. I’m just now getting to the point where I can run to the grocery store without any makeup and not feel completely self-conscious, but I usually wear some.

9. Have you ever had plastic surgery?

Nope

10. If you did, what would you do?

I’m not sure…I’d opt for electrolysis, but that probably doesn’t count as plastic surgery. I’d really like it, though…I hate shaving.

11. What do you wear to bed?

Depends on the season. Although I do always wear more clothes to bed when I’m home alone than when Mike’s around. That way I can jump up and fight burglars if they break in. I’m not an imposing figure to begin with, but I’m much more impressive in a t-shirt, pajama pants, and socks than I am in a tank top and underwear.

12. Have you ever done anything illegal?

Nothing too big – just the normal traffic violations (speeding, running red lights), underage drinking, and trespassing. I did smoke marijuana once, but it turns out I’m allergic.

13. Can you roll your tongue?

Nope, even before I got it pierced I couldn’t roll it.

14. Do you tweeze your eyebrows?

I’ll try someday. For now, I can’t bear the pain.

15. What kind of sneakers?

I can’t remember, but they’re white and blue.

16. Do you believe in abortions?

That’s a complicated answer. Actually, it’s not…the answer is “no.” But my reasons why are complicated.

17. What is your hair colour?

Natural or current? Naturally it’s sandy brown. Currently it’s red.

18. Future child's name?

Well, these are my opinions. Mike may not share them. Right now I’d like Philo Alexander for a boy, and Molly Teresa for a girl.

19. Do you snore?

Not that I’m aware of. Maybe I do!

20. If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be?

Someplace warm! Perhaps New Mexico? I’ve never been there.

21. Do you sleep with stuffed animals?

It depends…I have a few favorite stuffed animals on a shelf above my bed, and sometimes Lucky jumps onto the shelf and knocks them all down. So on those nights, I do sleep with stuffed animals. Otherwise, no.

22. If you won the lottery what would you do first?

Pay off my debts! Then buy a house.

23. Gold or silver?

Gold, but I prefer white gold.

24. Hamburger or hotdog?

Ugh, hamburger. I rarely eat hot dogs.

25. If you could eat one food for the rest of your life what would it be?

Pizza, hands down. I love pizza.

26. City, beach, or country?

City. The beach is full of bugs, and the country is far too quiet.

27. What was the last thing you touched.

Aside from this computer? Lucky, as he passed by.

28. Where did you eat last?

At the Laundromat.

29. When was the last time you cried?

I can’t remember the last time I cried. Probably the last time I had my period, since I tend to cry for no reason then.

30. Do you read blogs?

Of course…probably far too often.

31. Would you ever go out dressed like the opposite sex?

I don’t think it’s too risqué for a woman to go out in loose jeans and a sweatshirt. However, I don’t think I’d go out purposely trying to pass as a guy. I mean, why?

32. Have you ever been involved with the police?

When I got hit last weekend the police showed up. But I haven’t had any extended involvement with them.

33. What's your favourite shampoo, conditioner and soap?

It changes. Right now I’m using Pantene shampoo/conditioner, and some Bath & Body Works soap I got for Christmas.

34. Do you talk in your sleep?

Yeah, but not as much as Mike. His contribution last night: “Are you going to the store? Are you going to buy lotion? Or babies?”

35. Ocean or pool?

The pool – the ocean has creatures. Jellyfish freak me out.

36. Sauna or whirlpool?

Whirlpool, the jets make my back happy.

37. Starbucks or Krispy Kreme?

Krispy Kreme, although I’m not a donut snob. I’ll take anything.

38. Window seat or aisle?

Window, I like to see what’s going on!

39. Ever met anyone famous?

I don’t think so. I did briefly talk to Patricia McConnell at a book signing.

40. Do you feel you've had a truly successful life?

<>Oh, it depends on the day.

41. Do you twirl or cut your spaghetti?

I cut, and then twirl. I’m extremely uncoordinated at eating spaghetti, so I do all I can to make it an easy experience.

42. Ricki Lake or Oprah Winfrey?

Is Ricki Lake still on? Wow. I watched her in middle school.

43. Basketball or football?

Neither, I’m not big into sports.

44. How long do your showers last?

Usually 10 to 20 minutes…I used to take longer showers in my last apartment, but here the water heater gives up after about 20 minutes. It’s a shame because Mike got me a really fancy shower head for my birthday and I never get to really enjoy it because I hate cold showers.

45. Automatic or stick?

Automatic, I have no idea how to drive stick.

46. Cake or ice cream?

Ice cream, although ice cream cake is very pleasing.

47. Are you self conscious?

Contantly.

48. Have you ever drank so much you threw up?

A question with a shorter answer would be, “Have you ever drank so much but didn’t throw up?” I throw up frequently when I drink, even if I’m careful.

49. Have you ever given money to a beggar?

Sometimes, if I have change or money handy in my pocket. I always get apprehensive taking out my wallet or fumbling with my purse while they’re standing there. I’m always afraid they’ll run off with it.

50. Have you ever been in love?

Of course!

51. Where do you wish you were?

I thought we went over this. New Mexico!

52. Are you wearing socks?

Yeah, although that’s rare. I’m usually barefoot.

53. Have you ever ridden in an ambulance?

No, but now I have a new life goal.

54. Can you tango?

No, I’m extremely rhythm-impaired. I can barely do regular dancing, let alone fancy dancing.

55. What was the last gift you received?

My Valentine’s gifts from Mike.

56. What was the last sport you played?

Oh gosh…I can’t remember back to high school. Seriously, I hate sports.

57. What things do you spend a lot of money on?

Food…both groceries and eating out.

58. Where do you live?

In a little apartment in Milwaukee.

59. Where were you born?

Indiana

60. Last wedding attended?

Mine, I think. The one before that was my friend Suzy’s wedding.

61. Question 61 was missing...I heard it was inappropriate.

62. Favourite position?

And this isn't inappropriate? I’m not picky. Although my very favorite doesn’t have a name, and I’m not going to describe it here.

63. What is your most hated food?

There are so many to choose from! I suppose sauerkraut. I hate that stuff.

64. What is your most hated pop?

Grape, although I occasionally crave it.

65. Can you sing?

Not a bit. I sing in the car all the time, but anywhere there’s a chance people might hear me, I either sing extremely quietly (like in church or at home) or just stay silent.

66. Who was the last person you instant messaged?

Alec.

67. Where was the last place you went on holiday?

Like a real vacation? Mike and I have stayed at his parents’ camping trailer a few times, but the last real week-long vacation I took was probably when I was in high school. My family always went to northern Wisconsin.

68. Favourite regular drink?

Diet Pepsi. I need the caffeine.

69. Favourite current song?

Hm…I’m not sure. I haven’t listened to the radio much recently.

70. Tag 3 people.

No thanks. People will do it if they want.
