Oops I did it again

My friend Elizabeth tagged me in a note on Facebook with all of these many questions. Thanks Liz! I should note that this survey took me a while, so I did some on Thursday and some on Friday morning and some on Friday night.


1. What time did you get up this morning?

6! 6 AM! Every day! (This was my Thursday answer. My Friday day off answer is 9 AM! We slept in!)

2. How do you like your steak?

I like it not at all.

3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?

Ooh, the cinema. How elegant! Harry Potter.

4. What is your favorite TV show?

What a complicated question. The still-airing show I get most excited about is LOST. This summer, I am anxiously awaiting Mad Men and Project Runway.

5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?

In the Pacific Northwest! Lucky me.

6. What did you have for breakfast?

Kashi Go Lean cereal with craisins and walnuts, and a chai tea latte. (Thursday answer! On Friday, I awoke at the luxurious hour of 9 AM to find that Brad had made delicious blueberry pancakes, from scratch, and coffee. Thanks buddy!)

7. What is your favorite cuisine?

Big salad.

8. What foods do you dislike?

Canned green beans, cucumbers, meat, fake cheese, Boca burgers, cottage cheese, casserole, things with creamy centers.

9. Favorite place to eat?

I am in love with the Picabu Bistro lately. I love their falafel, and I love their summer salad menu, and basically everything I've ever had there. PLUS, Brad and I get their VIP discount when we go in, because Brad went to high school with the owner's son. And sometimes free drinks. I like to whisper "VIPs in the house!" when we walk in.

10. Favorite dressing?

My own homemade balsamic vinaigrette.

11. What kind of vehicle do you drive?

My vehicle is a Subaru Outback. I can't drive Brad's vehicle because it is a stick shift and I never learned how to drive one; whoops! I am a bad wife.

12. What are your favorite clothes?

I have a hard time liking my own clothes.

13. Where would you visit if you had the chance?

Oh, everywhere. I don't even know where to begin.

14. Cup 1/2 empty or 1/2 full?

Half full. Unless it's a cup of ice cream.

15. Where would you want to retire?

Well, not Florida. That's for sure.

16. Favorite time of day?

I like the early morning, as long as I've slept enough, which almost never happens. I like the evening when the sun is setting.

17. Where were you born?

Edmonds, WA.

18. What is your favorite sport to watch?

As if I care! I guess I would say college basketball.

19. Who do you think will not tag you back?

I think I didn't tag anyone.

20. Person you expect to tag you back first?

Come on...

21. Who are you most curious about their responses to this?

Stop asking me about tagging! Enough is enough!

22. Bird watcher?

No, but I think it runs in the family. Ask me later.

23. Are you a morning person or a night person?

Morning ish.

24. Do you have any pets?

Yes, one dog, a funny lady named Emmy.

25. Any new and exciting news you'd like to share?

Well! I've been hoping you would ask that, survey!

26. What did you want to be when you were little?

A teacher.

27. What is your best childhood memory?

Hmm. Going to my grandparents' "Beach Place," perhaps.

28. Are you a cat or dog person?

Dogs, dogs, dogs.

29. Are you married?

Yes. It is almost our SIX YEAR ANNIVERSARY, which is completely insane. September 7.

30. Always wear your seat belt?

Always.

31. Been in a car accident?

No, but I don't like to talk about it, because I'm afraid I'll jinx myself.

32. Any pet peeves?

I have quite a few, but I can never remember them when asked. If I can think of them I might post them separately.

33. Favorite pizza toppings?

I love love love the "Saxon" pizza at Benniditos: artichoke hearts, mushrooms, goat cheese, mozzarella, and pesto, with tomato and garlic sauce.

34. Favorite flower?

I don't really have one. I do love peonies though. I wish they bloomed longer. I was very disappointed with how long mine were pretty this year. And dahlias! Big fat flowers are my thing.

35. Favorite ice cream?

I love a lot of ice creams. No plain chocolate, and I don't usually get the fruity flavors. And no marshmallows!

36. Favorite fast food restaurant?

Wendy's.

37. How many times did you fail your driver's test?

Nine times. Just kidding, zero.

38. From whom did you get your last email?

Um, from someone I work with. I think.

39. Which store would you choose to max out your credit card?

Hmm. Well, I wouldn't do that. If I did, maybe this year's Nordstom sale. Or maybe Anthropologie? Or a home store.

40. Do anything spontaneous lately?

Hmm. Let me think. I spontaneously bought a two pack of Softlips chapstick at Target today. I am really flying by the seat of my pants!

41. Like your job?

I like it pretty well.

42. Broccoli?

Sure, why not. When I was at the Spaghetti Factory recently I was offered some broccoli with mizithra, and it was really delicious.

43. What was your favorite vacation?

Probably the London/Rome/Florence/Paris trip we went on a couple of years ago. Or New York and Boston. Both trips were fantastic.

44. Last person you went out to dinner with?

I went to the Spaghetti Factory, home of the broccoli with mizithra, for my grandpa's 90th birthday, and there were lots of people there. Also, Autumn and I had a fine dining experience at Taco Del Mar in Ellensburg on our way back to Spokane on Sunday, with her foster baby.

45. What are you listening to right now?

Not listening.

46. What is your favorite color?

Green, I think.

47. How many tattoos do you have?

No thanks.

48. How many are you tagging for this quiz?

OMG, you are so self-absorbed, quiz!

49. What time did you finish this quiz?

Um, what? It's 11:52 right now. I am really dedicated to this posting every day business.

50. Coffee Drinker?

Yeah. Two cups this morning, one cup this afternoon. I avoided it for a long long time, but I love being a coffee drinker.
