1. What household item do you most resent having to buy?

Fiji water. Our grocery store stopped carrying it, so now I have to order it in bulk, and the boxes are so damn heavy.


2. You drop something heavy on your toe. What are you most likely to say after OWWWWWWW?

"I'm fine, honey, I just stubbed my toe. No, I'm fine. It'll stop hurting in a minute. I'll be okay." (Said to my hyper-empathetic daughter.)


3. You're at the beach. All Day. Like it or not. It's clear and sunny and hot but not scorching. What will you do first?

Set up a shade pavilion and a super comfortable chair and go to sleep.


4. Do you like pickles?

Love 'em.


5. When was the last time you chewed gum?

Right now. Nicotine gum 3 times/day.


6. What is the most amusing number?

3


6. curtains or blinds?

Both


6. On a scale of 1 (HUH?) to 10 (KILL!), how irritating is it when people put apostrophe's in plural's?

3-6 depending on context. The world is full of idiots and I've accepted that.


10. What did the devil make you do?

I apologize to those who felt offended, and I assure you I take full responsibility* for my actions.

*minus consequences

Why Fiji?

I have to admit I like the square bottle and have purchased one or two to take hiking. You can set them down and they won't roll of the cliff. But I likely wouldn't buy them otherwise. They are pricey.
