I really like some of the memes you can find on Sunday Stealing so I decided to do this one, but on Thursday instead of Sunday. I think this particular Sunday Stealing meme, while good, is too darn long ; so, I'm only answering my favorite 10 of the 20 questions! 1. What bill do you hate paying the most? The phone bill, because my husband just flat out refuses to get rid of our land line and it's so annoying to have to pay for it when we could be using our cell phones for everything! 2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner? PF Chang's, a Chinese restaurant. It was sort of a fluke; our son was camping so we went out to dinner and a movie, but hadn't made reservations so rather than wait forever for a table we chose to eat at the bar. Now, normally sitting at a busy restaurant bar with the bartender in your face wouldn't seem like it was romantic, but we were sitting next to each other instead of across from each other, and drinking wine, and eating th...

Courtesy of the Thursday Thunks blog, here are my considered answers to random questions: 1. What was the last thing you ate? jelly beans 2. I say the color purple... what do you think of? Well, when you put it that way, I think of Oprah Winfrey. 3. Lamps or ceiling lights? I like the look and variety of lamps, but really do prefer even, overhead light. 4. What color rabbit is your favorite? Chocolate. 5. Your car breaks down on a deserted road and your cell phone has no signal - what do you do? Curse my self-righteous refusal to consider installing OnStar. 6. What is one thing most of your friends do online that you just can't understand the fascination and do not participate in? On Facebook: throwing stuff and poking people. I mean to say, what good is a cyber Margarita anyway? 7. What do you need right now? I need to earn some money! Sales in my Etsy shops ( both of them ) are way down, as are my eBay sales. 8. And your most serious injury you've had was....? A broken...

I couldn't resist doing this Thursday Thunks because, as the blog says, the questions are from the "Thunkers" themselves. 1. What is your favorite type of soda (if you drink soda)? I try not to drink soda. But, when I do partake, my current favorite is Diet Coke. I never, ever drink soda that's not diet - way too sweet (yuck!) 2. Do you believe in astrology? If so, what does your sign say about you? I don't believe in astrology. I'm a Virgo with Leo rising and find some of the characteristics to be accurate. 3. Who is John Galt? This question has been plaguing me since last summer, when one of the trainers at my gym said that the novel, Atlas Shrugged "changed her life." I was determined to read it to know why. But, even though I find Ayn Rand's writing lovely and entertaining, the story moves so slowly that I can't bring myself to finish it. So I don't know who John Galt is, and I fear I never will. 4. What is the last thing...

To play along, visit the Thursday Thunks blog and follow directions: 1. The last flight of stairs you walked up/down - were the carpeted? Ya-huh. They were the staircase in my home, and they are carpeted despite my cat Kyra's best efforts. Kyra says, "Who, me?" 2. Green or purple grapes? Either one as long as they're seedless. 3. Do you like Peeps? NO! My family loves them but I think they're so gross. 4. The smell of Vicks - like it? Yes; it's a good smell because it warns me to stay away from the person who smells like it = germs! 5. Do you put decorative cling-ons on your windows for different holidays? No - it would scare the neighbors, don't you think? 6. Finish the sentence - I spent too much money on ________ . German food. I visited a German deli with very authentic, delicious food the other day and went a little crazy on wurst and Milka chocolate. 7. Which celebrity should be flown into outer space or placed on a desert island? This is a toug...

Here's my very first ever Thursday Thunks : 1. You are walking down the road and you look down. There is a bug. Do you step on it? No. I only kill bugs if they're in my house - not when I'm in theirs. 2. What is one fantasy that you want to come true more than any other? This isn't as easy to answer as it seems. If I say I want to win the lottery and I don't say I want world peace, am I selfish or just honest? 3. Someone knocks on your door. Do you look out the window to see who it is before you open it? Do you open it regardless of who it is? I look out my peephole before opening it and if I don't know them, I don't open it at all. I talk through the door. You wouldn't believe how much this offends some people! 4. Have you ever eaten Play Doh? Yes, when I was a child. It's salty. 5. What was your favorite Saturday morning cartoon as a child and why? I loved the Schoolhouse Rock songs in between the shows! I am a nerd. 6. Are you a "peopl...
