Thursday Thunks

1. The last flight of stairs you walked up/down - were they carpeted?

Probably? I tend to block out all instances of physical extertion, so I can't be 100% sure.

2. Green or purple grapes?

Green ones, please. When I was about 10 weeks pregnant with Camryn, Stan and I drove from our house in SC all the way to Captiva Island, Florida. It took us 2 days. We had a cooler that plugged into the car, and in the cooler I had packed green grapes and orange juice (whatever else was in it, I can't remember... but it was darn full of grapes and OJ!) I had such cravings for fresh fruit during that pregnancy!

3. Do you like Peeps?

No. Call me unAmerican. I just can't stomach them.

4. The smell of Vicks - like it?

It reminds me of my grandmother. If I was ever sick while I was staying at her house, she slathered me with the Vicks at night. Blech. I like the smell, but getting all lubed up with Vicks VapoRub is not a fond memory.

5. Do you put decorative cling-ons on your windows for different holidays?

Do I live in a preschool?

6. Finish the sentence - I spent too much money on ________ .

Fraggle Rock collectibles (not really, but you're TOTALLY singing "Down at Fraggle Rock!" now, aren't you?!?)

7. Which celebrity should be flown into outer space or placed on a desert island?

Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton, together.

8. Would you support schools changing the "open" time? Such as 10am - 5pm, for example?

No. I like it the way it is. Yes, it's a pain to get up early, but the kids go to bed around 8:15. I like them going to bed at that time, because it gives me about 3-4 hours of calm silence. If school started later or ended later it would cut into that time. It's all about me, ya know.

9. Do you go fishing?

For what?

Compliments, yes.

Actual fish, no.
