52 Questions Answered

Swiped from Fleur de Lisa, because I want to catch her attention so she'll answer my Four For Friday questions on her blog!

1. What is in the back seat of your car right now? Technically, I have no idea what's "in" the back seat of my car (were I to guess I'd say some sort of foam padding). On the back seat in my car... nothing. Sitting on the floor directly behind the driver's seat (now we're talkin')... a brown paper bag waiting for my next trip to the grocery store!
2. When was the last time you threw up? A few months ago, I think.
3. What's your favorite curse word? I do not have a favorite but do enjoy the occasional F-bomb. "Son of a" (said just like that is also fun).
4. Name three people who made you smile today. Rod, Jerry, and Ja Ja (Ja Ja's a dog, and dogs are people too).
5. What were you doing at 8 am this morning? Working.
6. What were you doing 30 minutes ago? Not working.
7. What will you be doing 3 hours from now? Falling asleep on my couch, convincing myself that I will still be sleepy if I would just get up slowly and move to the bedroom.
8. Have you ever been to a strip club? Yes.
9. What is the last thing you said aloud? "Oaky, later then!"
10. What is the best ice cream flavor? Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough.
11. What was the last thing you had to drink? Water (Arrowhead).
12. What was the last thing you ate? Handful of Tim's Cascade Snacks' Hawaiian Kettle Style Sweet Maui Onion Potato Chips.
13. Have you bought any new clothing items this week? I refuse to buy clothes until I lose some weight (and yes, I see the irony when balanced against the Sweet Maui Onion Potato Chips).
14. When was the last time you ran? The Thursday before last, while playing tennis with Travis Whitney.
15. What's the last sporting event you watched? The Men's 4x100 meter race (swimming) at the Olympics.
16. Who is the last person you emailed? Work-related (confidential, sorry).
17. Ever go camping? Yes.
18. Do you have a tan? Being in southern California, one would think I would be tan, but not so much. Only on the tops of my feet, in between the straps of my flip-flops.
19. Do you drink your soda from a straw? Only when offered one.
20. What did your last IM say? Work-related (again, cannot share).
21. Are you someone's best friend? Yes.

26. What do you think of when you think of Australia? My trip there in 1997.
27. Would you consider plastic surgery? Yes, I would consider it.
28. What is your birthstone? I do not know.
29. Do you go in at a fast food place or just hit the drive thru? It depends on the fast food joint. If I know the menu cold, it's drive-thru all the way (unless it's too busy). However, honestly, I don't do fast food that much these days.
30. How many kids do you want? I am undecided... between none and maybe (just maybe) more than none.
31. Do you have a dog? I do not, but I do have a new neighbor and he has a dog (Ja Ja).
32. Last person you talked to on the phone? Confidential (work-related).
33. Have you met anyone famous? I'm sure I have but not anyone who I think would remember me. In order to say I met someone, I have to feel like they "met" me too; meaning, we would remember meeting were we to meet again.
34. Any plans today? Just a trip to the grocery store later tonight. That's about all. I worked all day today (pretty normal for a Monday).
35. How many states have you lived in? Nine (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Indiana, New Hampshire, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Utah).
36. Ever go to college? Yes.
37. Where are you right now? In my house.

love answer #52 - now i have to know how!

Attention caught! I just may answer last week's questions today, even though it's way past Friday. I'm a bit behind the times as it is here lately.

RE: #49- is there really anyone that doesn't say 'hello' throughout the course of the day?
