A Random Survey to Pass the Time

OK, so I can't get online on the computer that has all of our pictures on it, but I have to post something every so often or I'll start catching grief from a few unnamed friends ;-). Soooo, here's one of those random surveys that I took off my Myspace page. Enjoy :-) (FYI- I deleted a few questions that only apply to Myspace, which is why the numbering is off in a few places).

1. When was the last time you shaved?
ummm, I'm not sure. I've been wearing jeans with tank tops a lot because the baby belly is starting to get to the size that it's hard to thoroughly do my legs.

2. What is your favorite flavor of JELLO?
strawberry (needs Cool-Whip on it too though!)

4. What does your favorite candle smell like?
Pear Glace from White Barn Candle Company or Green Grass from Yankee Candle

5. Are you any good at math?
In some forms, yes. I never was a geometry person though

6. Are any of your great-grandparents still alive?
No- my last living one died when I was 12

7. When was the last time you spoke in front of a large group of people?
My husband and I spoke in church a few months ago- which totaled about 3,000 people.

8. Who should get number one on People magazines sexiest list?
Who cares?!

9. What is one of your favorite things to do when it's cold outside?
Sit inside by a fire and drink hot chocolate while I watch it snow out the window

10. What is one of your favorite things to do when it's hot outside?
Swim in the ocean or watch my kids play in the sprinkler

11. What was the last TV show you watched?
Sunday Night Football on NBC!

12. Do you have any famous ancestors?
I'm related to people who came over on the Mayflower, Mary Queen of Scotts, and Hannah Dustin (she has a statue in her honor in New England somewhere, I've been there :-P ). I think I'm also related to the first governer of Hawaii and my great-great grandfather invented the extension ladder (my dad does geniology, so I know all this stuff :-)

13. Do you sleep with the door to your room open or closed?
Open- I have kiddos coming in for various reasons almost every night of the week (usually Teddy around 2 AM because he wants a cup of milk!)

14. Do you have a secret identity?
Hmmm, I think I'm a little past that now!

15. Have you ever sniffed magic markers?
Yes! I LOVED the ones that were scented to smell like fruit when I was little!! I got a new set and wouldn't color with them because I wanted them to keep their smell :-)

16. What was one of your favorite toys as a child?
Playmobile

17. Are you good at cooking anything in particular?
Canalonni, Lasagna, and Peroggis (I'll assume that Uncle Frank DeBoever is going to correct my spelling on this one, since I forgot how to spell that!)

18. Do you have any injuries right now?
Not really, unless you count the damage that pregnancy does to your body :-P

19. Do you have a credit card?
Yup, a few of them

20. Have you ever taken out a loan to pay for school?
Nope! (Thanks mom and dad for not letting me!). Since I'm married though, I'm still dealing with working on paying off Jeff's loans (and will be for a few more years to come :-( )

22. Do you have DSL, cable or dialup?
DSL

23. Do you ever leave messages on people's answering machines/voice mail?
Yes- I figure if it was important enough for me to call about, it's important enough to leave a message about.

24. Have you ever wanted to look like someone else?
There are a few body parts I wouldn't mind if they looked like someone else's, but there's not someone who I TOTALLY want to look like

25. What's your favorite frozen treat?
A Reeses Pieces Cyclone from Friendly's

26. Are you an organized person?
I'm ADD, so I have to be organized ALL the time or stuff gets WAY out of control!

27. Are you obsessive compulsive about anything?
Everything! My OCD is what keeps order in the house with 3 kids (2 toddlers)

29. What are your guilty pleasures?
Eating dessert when I don't finish my dinner- even though I don't let the kids do it!

30. Are you a fast reader?
yup- I learned how to speed-read in high school

31. Have you ever put "yes please" by sex on something you had to fill out?
Umm, NO! Sorry, but that's just dumb

32. Have you ever vandalized anything?
I think I carved my name (really small) into the wall in my room when I was in jr. high. Does that count?

33. Are you afraid or bothered by something that others find strange?
My husband thinks it's wierd that I can't watch movies where bad stuff happens to kids without having nightmares.

34. Do you draw your name in the sand when you go to the beach?
Not my name, but I always like to stamp a big heart out in the sand with my footprints

35. Do you use Twizzlers as straws?
Yes- but only when drinking orange soda

36. What's the most painful dental procedure you've had?
It's a toss up between braces being tightened and having my wisdom teeth out

37. Can you name all 50 states?
Yes, in alphabetical order (in 20 seconds). I learned a song in 4th grade and it stuck with me

38. Is there a celebrity that you would like to punch in the face?
Hmm, this seems rather violent! I don't punch people, but I do think Brittney Spears could use a smack upside the head

39. Have you ever stepped on something sharp and had it go through your foot?
A razor in the shower

40. Have you ever been stung by a jellyfish?
Nope!

41. What's one of the dumbest home remedies that you've heard of?
Tip your head back to stop your nose from bleeding. That's a GREAT way to choke on your own blood!

42. Have you ever saved anyone's life?
If leading someone to Christ counts, than yes :-)

43. Do you like what the ocean does to your hair?
Yes! I get sexy, individual curls after swimming in the ocean & my hubby is a BIG fan of it :-)

44. Have you ever received one of those big tins of 3 different kinds of popcorn for Christmas?
Many times. I like it all mixed together though, so I pull the divider out.

45. Have you ever been to a planetarium?
Yes, quite a few school field trips and girl scout outings

46. Do you use a lot of salt?
Nope. I almost always reduce it in recipes and I can't think of anything I add it to at the table

47. Is your closet organized?
Incredibly so! I just sorted my husband's shirts by color and sleeve length the other day (I'm nesting!)

48. What is a funny sound to you?
My 1 year old laughing

49. Have you ever been complimented on something other than your looks?
My singing, my children, my cooking, and my scrapbooking abilities :-)

50. Do you re-use towels after you shower?
Yes! I use the same towel for a week and then switch to a clean one. I figure, I'm wiping myself dry with it when I'm clean. If I used it to wrap myself in before the shower, I'd probably use a new one every day!

Uncle Frank would never correct anything Polish, your spelling of pa-doggies looked good to me. I liked your fun answers. Luv UF
