Quick Questions = Quickstions

1. Have you ever been suckered into buying something?
Nothing too expensive, but lots of little things.

2. Do you wash your hair or body first when taking a shower?
It depends on if I'm deep conditioning the hair. Which is almost never. So, body first and then hair.

3. When was the last time you were vituperative?
It's rare.

4. What are your most common food cravings?
Cheese, olives, hummus, pita, onions, garlic, mushrooms . . . I'm hungry. Carraba's with Steve and his mom tonight--risotto di mare, here I come!

5. How much money is in your wallet at this moment?
I opened it to check and a couple of those little cartoon moths came fluttering out. I can't believe I spent my last three bucks on cartoon moths! And why do I keep them in my wallet?

6. What is your least favorite bill that you pay each month?
Rentski.

7. When was the last time you felt inadequate?
Whenever I try to do any heavy lifting.

8. What foods make you poop?
I'll go with whoever said, technically, all of them.

9. Do you ever fear for your safety?
In an irrational way if I'm home alone in the middle of the night. Or when I'm flying on a plane.

10. What age do you expect to live to?
I hope to live to at least 100.

~Bonus Question~What should George Bush do in his retirement?
Concentrate on the family's baked beans business.

Island of the Blue Dolphins

I was getting tired of that Happy Halloween post so I thought I'd provide something a little different. I did go swimming with dolphins on Sunday and I do have a rash from my wetsuit. It was really a great experience so I'll deal with the rash. We also snorkeled with tropical fish and sting rays much bigger than me. The sting rays, not the fish. It was simultaneously the coolest and scariest thing ever. Southern Sting Rays = Huge. It was a great day. And afterwards we stopped at Universal's City Walk and had dinner at Bubba Gump's. I didn't realize it was such a theme restaurant and that the waitstaff has to be so annoying. I would be the world's worst Bubba Gump waitress. I was almost the worst patron--I was really tired and it is a relentlessly cheerful place. I think Keri was worse than me, though, because she was feeling sick on top of the tiredness. Probably fun if you're a little kid. "Or a kid at heart!" some would argue. To that I say, "No, not really." I am working on my second Harlequin project now, must finish that sucker today and send it off tomorrow. Then I have two more projects to do before we leave for Thanksgiving in Richmond. I'm feeling a little swamped. So, back to it, I say! TTFN!
