Stolen from: Everything Goes To Hell


Are your nails painted a dark or light color?
They aren't painted.

Have you ever order pizza online?
 Nope.

What color was the last candle you lit?
White, at Christmas

 Is there something written on your shirt right now?
I'm not wearing one.

Is there a bookshelf in your room?
 There are bookshelves in nearly every room of the house.

Do you own a treadmill?
Not any more.  I don't do treadmills, even car pool treadmills, anymore.

Have you ever signed up for a gym membership?
Yes, that's why we got rid of the treadmill, and the Nordic Trac.

Is there a garbage can in your room? What color is it?
No.  Who keeps a garbage can inside the living quarters?  
Do you mean the kitchen composter?  If so, it's stainless steel and about a foot high.

Have you ever read in the bathtub?
No.  I don't want to drop another book into the water.  My text book once fell into the sink when I was doing dishes.  That cured me of getting any book near a possibly watery grave again.

Have you ever had to wear a hairnet?
 Yes, when I worked at a burger joint.

Do you know how many pages the last book you read had?
 I only know that it had over 430, the last page number I remember seeing.

What day of the week does the laundry usually get done?
 When the darks or the lights hampers are full.  Washday used to be Monday but this hasn't been so for a long time.

Do you use the Facebook chat often?
 I'm not on Facebook.  Frankly, I dislike it more than I dislike Google+

Do you have any baby pictures of yourself on your computer?
No.  I'm what used to be called a "War Baby" so few pictures even exist of me as a baby or small child.  And now that the country's been in a constant state of war for over 60 years, that cute little descriptive phrase applies to just about any American baby born in those intervening years.

Do you eat onion rings?
Yes, they are considered forbidden fruit, though.

What flavor of tea did you last have?
Rooibos tea but, sorry, it's a type of tea and not a flavor.  There are lovely flavors of all sorts of tea I'd like to try but, alas, not very many decafs.

 Do you own a bathrobe?
 No, and don't let the film, "L.A. Story" fool you.  Californians do not all have white bathrobes in the closet.  That's for hotels to do.  We regularly walk, wrapped in a towel, to get from room to room after a bath.  DH once went out in his skivvies to retrieve the morning paper.  He only did that once.  *glares*

Did you/will you have coffee or some other form of caffeine today?
Three days a week I eat chocolate.  I wish it could be more but the scale doesn't lie to me anymore.  Someone rigged it to tell the truth.  I wonder who that someone was?

Do you have a mailbox or do you collect your mail from the post office?
I live in the US.  We can have an excellent postal service just so long as the pinch pennies in public office will leave it alone.  You'd think THEY, the toffee noses, were paying the bills and not we, the people!  Hard luck if they want to spend even more making money on swords rather than mailboxes.  Ya know?

What was the last animal you saw, and was it a pet?
He's a pet, and he's adorable.  He's also in his cuddler behind me, snoring away right now. Yesterday I saw a fence lizard who was black and speckled white on the limb of the Cape Honeysuckle, and I saw a Cassin's Kingbird looking longingly at the bird bath.  The weather has been roasting hot here the past several days.  I pity the poor birds and little animals, like my sister's neighbor's little poodle, who have to be out in it.  I'm going to steal that dog someday.  Shhhh! No I couldn't be that mean but I'm going to call someone who will take care of it if it goes on.

What was the last documentary you watched focusing on?
It was about General Tso's Chicken.  A chef from Taiwan invented it.  He came here to claim victory from an usurping chef making big claims.  It was a fabulous show and story about not only the dish, but Chinese immigration and diaspora into the U S of A as well.   I'm so happy that some of the Chinese came here.

Hey!  That's my happiness for Sunday and the August Happiness Challenge!

Chinese Happiness Character

And back to our regularly scheduled Meme:

Is there anything you need to remember to do before the day ends?
I guess I should have eaten ... well, I get another chance at it a little later on!  America, got to love it.  

 Is your car messy, or do you like to keep it clean?
My cars are neat as pins.  However I no longer have a car of my own.  

The link goes to a contest at CarTalk.  go see!  Hahahahaha!

Ours is not anywhere as bad as this
and the little dog isn't the one making the mess

Are you the type to wake up before the sun has even risen?
I get up when I wake up, and the last two mornings it's been before sunrise.  

Do you get uncomfortable when people stare at you?
Actually, anyone rude enough to stare at me I will stare back at.

Have you ever been admitted to the hospital for a long period of time?
Three weeks.  That was a maternity stay.  It was stupid, and I spent the rest of my life regretting it, off and on.

Have a great Sunday!
