Random Dozen

This is getting to be a habit, isn’t it?  Hop on over to 2nd Cup of Coffee tomorrow to see the answers that Linda will post.

1. When was the last time you craved a food–what was it, and did you cave?

Probably chocolate…because I always crave chocolate.  And yes, I caved.  I almost always cave (but I haven’t had a Mt. Dew since New Year’s Eve, thank you very much…even after I accidentally bought one at school…by habit hit the wrong button on the machine…but I threw it AWAY in the garbage before leaving the building, thank you very much).

I digress…on to #2

2. M & M’s or Skittles?

Definitely M & M’s (see answer #1)…plain ones, not dark chocolate.
3. Have you ever read the Bible completely through?

Yes…a couple of years ago.  I am attempting to do it again, via this link.

4. How long does it take you to really wake up in the morning?

Maybe 10 minutes.  Jumping into a hot shower helps A LOT with this…especially since I don’t drink coffee. 😉

5. Have you ever been on a cruise? If not, would you like to?

I have been on three cruises…the last of which you read about around Thanksgiving.

6. Who is your favorite actress?

Hmmm…tough question for me because I invariably will dislike an actress when she picks a less-than-admirable role (i.e. she shows more of her body than is ladylike or curses up a storm…blech).  Ok.  Got it.  Jennifer Garner.  LOVED her in Alias, but my favorite thing she’s been in is 13 Going on 30.  Her facial expressions rival Jim Carrey’s, and her All-American look is easy on the eyes.

7. ______ is something that I will just never understand.

Why is there only one blank here?  C’mon people!  I want lots of blanks that will form a soap box!  Ok…nudity/sex scenes in movies is something I will never understand.  What’s the point?  Besides burning un-erasable images into my mind.  Gag me with a spoon.

8. How much of a technology junkie are you?

If you’ve been reading my blog for very long, you’ll know that technology RULES!  I mean, what almost-40-year-old mom buys herself a hot pink Nintendo DSi with her Christmas money?  If I loads of money, I would make sure I had the latest phone and computer software.  In fact, my entire house would operate by voice command.  Oh yeah, baby!  Now that’s what I’m talking about!

9. Do you enjoy selecting greeting cards for people, or is it more of a cultural “have to” for you?

I could take them or leave them.  I guess it’s fun to pick one out when you know the person.  Greeting cards tend to have their own personalities that should reflect the personalities of the people giving them in addition to those receiving them. Sounds like too much work for my wee little brain.  I’d rather just call a person and say Happy Birthday or whatever.

10. When was the last time you got a new style/haircut?

Christmas Eve, while visiting the in-law’s!  It’s gonna be sad when I have to drive an hour and a half to get the same girl to cut it, eh?

11. What do you enjoy shopping for most?

Technology stuff/office supplies.  Call me weird, but at least I’m honest.  Nothing makes me happier than eyeballing the newest post-it note gizmo’s, fountain pens, and whatnot.  Best Buy, you are my friend.  But I don’t want to look at stinking TV’s.  Give me hand-held devices, cameras, or whatnot, and I’m a happy girl!

12. What’s the last thing you think of before you leave the house?

“What am I forgetting?”

Thank you for visiting today and taking the time to leave a comment!
