quisletOK, I'm way overdue for a decent post, particularly about the recent holiday, but I'm falling for a meme first. This one is stolen from ladybarnard :
ladybarnard :
1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
All of them, I guess
2. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
Venice.
3. Do you regret losing your virginity to who you lost it to?
Ye gods, no! I’ve never regretted anything less in my life.
4. If you could go back and change one thing what would it be?
One thing? I can’t do it in one. It's a dozen or nothing.

6. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Cooking brilliantly.
7. What did you want to be when you were growing up?
Either a singer or a mathematician.

9. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
What shirt? This bathrobe is super fuzzy.
10. What are your thoughts on gas prices?
They're cheaper here than in most non-oil-producing nations, more expensive than other oil-producing nations.
11. If you could move anywhere and take someone with you where would it be?
Right here, with the family. That’s why we’re here.
12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?

Youngest daughter, I think.

Dishes.
17. If you didn't have to work, would you volunteer?
Yeah, probably, but only if it involved cooking.
18. Get up early or sleep in?
Early, out of habit. By inclination, it would be sleep in.
19. What is your favorite cartoon character?
Today, it’s Hellboy. Too many to choose from to be consistent.
