This is the Weekend Q&A game and this is how you play:
The person before you has asked asked you a question. You’ll answer their question in the comments as well as ask the next person a question. The next person answers their question, and asks another, etc….. You are encouraged to participate often!
I’ll start:
Do you think you get enough sleep?
Yea, probably 6-8 hours a day, which may include a nap. But then we’re retired.
Do you like to take naps?
I LOVE naps!!!! So much so that I refused to take a single nap during maternity leave for fear that I would get used to them and never be able to break myself of the habit.
When did you know that your spouse was “the one”?
The very first time I saw him; just had a different feeling about him.
Have you filed your tax returns yet?
Walt does the taxes for us. This year we have an odd situation that is requiring mega calculations, which has so far taken him 2 days to do and has one more day to finish.
(On the sleep question, I definitely don’t get enough and I LOVE my naps!)
Have you ever watched an animal give birth? (I’m watching a horse who is a week overdue at the moment on my friend’s web cam)
I learned about birth when I was 7 and staying at my uncle’s dairy farm for a few weeks. They woke me up in the middle of the night to watch a horse foal. I remember being really disgusted/intrigued by the afterbirth process. I have seen it multiple times since, but that first one was amazing.
What was the last thing you bought online?
Kinda sorta bought online was a tshirt for my daughter. One of the ladies in the 40 Under 40 had this adorable tshirt with a mustached cat, I emailed her to see where she bought it, turns out she made it! So I bought one from her for my daughter through email.
Are you an organ donor?
Yes, and it’s so stated on my driver’s license. I still have all my original parts at present!
How many cups of coffee does it take for you to start your day (or other caffeinated beverage)?
One cup (coffee!) to get started, but I just poured a second and will probably drink a third before the day is out. I made a full pot.
We’ve been debating here: Is Daylight Saving Time really necessary in this day and age?
No. I don’t think it’s necessary at all anymore.
What book are you reading?
I’m reading Driftless, which was B&N’s offer on (Nook) Free Fridays last week.
Do you have a favorite National Park?
Yosemite. Haven’t been there in many years, but I love that place.
Do you collect anything?
Only if dust bunnies counts.
What do you do to go back to sleep if you wake up at night?
I watch tv on my iPad.
Bar soap or shower gel?
Either, as long as it’s unscented.
Do you like Vietnamese food? Or what’s your favorite ethnic food?
We have a local pho restaurant I think is okay. Thai is my preferred ethnic food though. Followed by Indian as a very close second.
My son wants an ice cream cake for his birthday party today. What cake would you want?
I always want an ice cream cake. I have a gift certificate for Coldstone Creamery in my pocket.
Barring that, I would choose a fruit tart that was very popular with a local caterer some twenty-odd years ago. Our company knew I liked it and bought one for my birthday.
Oh, dear, you need a question. Why don’t you use that one, because I can’t think of one right now? And I’d like to see more choices.
I love ice cream cake! But right now I’d really like a carrot cake from Simma’s Bakery.
Were you ever a cheerleader?
No. Cheerleaders were kind of the bottom of the barrel in my high school. A true testament of Title 9.
Chris Matthews is doing a thing on the Beatles. My child is mocking their cheesiness. Were/are you a fan?
