I need to take my mind off things...anyone want a poll?
I'm driving myself crazy with all of the OMG! thoughts right now...so how about a poll to distract me?
* * * * *
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)?
My first car was a Ford Aspire. It was white, ran on two chipmunks running on a wheel under the hood (or at least that's what it felt like when you were flooring it to get onto the freeway) and my college friends and I had a blast in it when we made midnight Krispy Kreme runs. What's your best memory in your first car?
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant?
You're offered a job that pays $1mil per year, and you have to stick with it for at least 10 years to get the big annual payout. The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick?
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate:
My Barbie dolls lived in houses made of Legos and rode around on My Little Ponies. I was quite the little toy hussy! What was your all time favorite toy as a kid?
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants.
You're offered a lifetime supply of your favorite ice cream (or sorbet, for the lactose intolerant among us) in exchange for naming your favorite guilty pleasure TV viewing on a nationwide radio broadcast. So let's hear it - what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to TV shows (the trashier the better!)? And what kind of ice cream will you be getting?
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales?
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.)
Re: I need to take my mind off things...anyone want a poll?
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)? Absolutely! I've already informed Ben that I'll be getting a post-breastfeeding boob lift. Not an enlargement, since I'm happy with the size, just a lift.
My first car was a Ford Aspire. It was white, ran on two chipmunks running on a wheel under the hood (or at least that's what it felt like when you were flooring it to get onto the freeway) and my college friends and I had a blast in it when we made midnight Krispy Kreme runs. What's your best memory in your first car? Well let's see, I already mentioned the Krispy Kreme runs...other than that, maybe the hysterical joy of shrieking at the car to "go go go!" every time I had to accelerate quickly?
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant? Swanky restaurant. Picnics are one of those things that always end up overrated to me...I attract too many bugs.
You're offered a job that pays $1mil per year, and you have to stick with it for at least 10 years to get the big annual payout. The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick? Funeral director. I could deal with bodies better than sewers or roadkill.
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate: Bell pepper. I don't get the attraction. It's HORRIBLE. And YES, I have tried it raw. And yes, I've tried all the colors. I've tried it sauteed, stewed, raw, roasted, and every other way. I just don't like it and I'm not sure why people keep trying to convince me to eat it.
My Barbie dolls lived in houses made of Legos and rode around on My Little Ponies. I was quite the little toy hussy! What was your all time favorite toy as a kid? I have to say, I loooooved my My Little Ponies. LOVED them. My all time favorite was my Snoopy doll though - I still have him!
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants. An abomination unto the Lord. And me.
You're offered a lifetime supply of your favorite ice cream (or sorbet, for the lactose intolerant among us) in exchange for naming your favorite guilty pleasure TV viewing on a nationwide radio broadcast. So let's hear it - what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to TV shows (the trashier the better!)? And what kind of ice cream will you be getting? Heh, Ben's pick would be Gossip Girl. He loves that show a disturbing amount for a 33-year-old man. But mine...probably Cheaters. I know. I KNOW. And probably cookies & cream ice cream - I like the classics!
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales? I'm torn between enchiladas and tamales. I think I'd have to go with enchiladas.
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.) Hmm. I kinda shot myself in the foot with this one. Dirty Dancing IS my favorite!
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)? After our last kid, I wouldn't say no to a 'mommy makeover'... Nice perky boobs and a flat tummy, yes please!
My first car was a Ford Aspire. It was white, ran on two chipmunks running on a wheel under the hood (or at least that's what it felt like when you were flooring it to get onto the freeway) and my college friends and I had a blast in it when we made midnight Krispy Kreme runs. What's your best memory in your first car? My first car was a used car that we bought from my dad's co-worker's friend. When we went to go see the car, it had a tiny little stuffed animal monkey in the car. I had the exact same monkey and that's how I knew that it was supposed to be my car.
Oh, and there was that one time when I left the parking garage at work with a banana on the roof...
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant? Hmmm, hard choice but I might have to go with the swanky restaurant. (The chances of me getting a midday strawberry martini are better there than at an outdoor picnic, heehee!)
You're offered a job that pays $1mil per year, and you have to stick with it for at least 10 years to get the big annual payout. The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick? I think funeral director would be the least icky, although emotionally and psychologically, I don't know how I would be able to deal with seeing so much grief and sadness from family members on a regular basis. I suppose you just get used to it?
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate: Hmmm, broccoli? And not technically a food, but coffee. I just don't get it.
My Barbie dolls lived in houses made of Legos and rode around on My Little Ponies. I was quite the little toy hussy! What was your all time favorite toy as a kid? I'd have to say Barbies since that's what I remember playing with the most. Then my Nintendo would have to come in a close second.
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants. No. Just no. And if they have stirrups or lace trim, you need to find a time machine because you're obviously not living in the right decade.
You're offered a lifetime supply of your favorite ice cream (or sorbet, for the lactose intolerant among us) in exchange for naming your favorite guilty pleasure TV viewing on a nationwide radio broadcast. So let's hear it - what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to TV shows (the trashier the better!)? And what kind of ice cream will you be getting? All of the 'Real Housewives of ______' series. I know, I know, that stuff is pure trash and every episode is a complete train wreck but I just can't avoid watching it. I'll be getting mint chip ice cream from Bubbies, thank you very much.
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales? Tacos. It's hard to get these wrong. I like quesadillas too but sometimes there's too much cheese in there for my liking.
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.) Ghost because it was the first movie I ever saw him in. Umm, don't hate me for admitting this but I've actually never watched Dirty Dancing......
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)?
Hmmm... I guess a flat tummy and cute bum would be nice!
What's your best memory in your first car?
Call me a loser but I've never had my own car!!! In my friend's cars though, we had blast riding around town blasting old N'SYNC, 112, Keith Sweat and other such peeps.
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant?
If it's free, swanky resto, I guess. I usually picnic b/c it's cheap!
You're offered a job that pays $1mil per year, and you have to stick with it for at least 10 years to get the big annual payout. The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick?
I might choose the funeral director. I could not handle sewage or animals but for some reason I think I could handle humans. Is that weird?
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate:
I don't hate it, but I wouldn't miss butter if I never ate it again.
What was your all time favorite toy as a kid?
Those horse-thingys on springs that you can ride, and playmobil.
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants.
If your shirt/top is long enough to cover your crotch and bum, I'm OK with it.
So let's hear it - what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to TV shows (the trashier the better!)? And what kind of ice cream will you be getting?
Coffee ice cream! As for shows, it's hard to pick. Dog the Bounty Hunter, Brat Camp (I think that one might be Canadian), Mantracker, Departures (that one is Canadian, also)...
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales?
Enchiladas! Tamales come in a close second.
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.)
I'm sorry. It HAS to be Dirty Dancing.
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)? Yup, sure would! I've actually already had a breast reduction...that counts! I'd do something else if I felt I needed it. Too bad lipo scares the beejezuz out of me or I'd do that!
What's your best memory in your first car? I had a Ford Escort - amazing how many people you could fit in the hatchback/trunk part!
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant? Depends on the day and my mood really. I like 'em both, although I have been bugging MH to go on a picnic lately.....assuming that the weather stays below 100 degrees (not likely for at least another month).
You're offered a job that pays $1mil per year, and you have to stick with it for at least 10 years to get the big annual payout. The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick? Eww. I don't know. Based on today's chicken epsiode I do NOT want the roadkill scraper upper job. I think I'd go for sewer cleaner - dead bodies creep me out.
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate: KETCHUP!
What was your all time favorite toy as a kid? Legos, the lemon jumpy thing you swing around your leg, Strawberry Shortcake dolls, Barbies.
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants. No. Just no.
So let's hear it - what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to TV shows (the trashier the better!)? And what kind of ice cream will you be getting? I hate to admit that I can't run away from the Real Housewives of Atlanta. It is SO bad, but I keep watching. While I'm watching I'll be eating an old favorite - cookies and cream. I like so many others, but this is the consistent standby that I never get tired of!
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales? Oh man, tamales at Christmas time!
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.) Dirty Dancing was the best, but Ghost and Roadhouse I like too.
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)? if money is no object...yes please. i want a boob lift for sure..the older i get the more they sag...lame, i don't even have kids!
My first car was a Ford Aspire. It was white, ran on two chipmunks running on a wheel under the hood (or at least that's what it felt like when you were flooring it to get onto the freeway) and my college friends and I had a blast in it when we made midnight Krispy Kreme runs. What's your best memory in your first car? i bought a brand new hyundai excel...woohoo. i remember driving it off the lot with my 3 little bros, they thought it was the coolest thing ever
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant? swank all the way...we picnic a lot here...nothing exciting about it at all
You're offered a job that pays $1mil per year, and you have to stick with it for at least 10 years to get the big annual payout. The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick? funeral director for sure
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate: i don't like raw veggies or cooked fruit. i despise veggie platters. hawaiian pizza...makes me wanna gag but give me fresh pineapple and i'll eat til my tongue turns raw
My Barbie dolls lived in houses made of Legos and rode around on My Little Ponies. I was quite the little toy hussy! What was your all time favorite toy as a kid? hmm...i had barbies and a dollhouse which i really liked. i would also take my bros matchbox cars and 'drive' them in the lanes on the hardwood floors...the breaks would be the stop signs
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants. if you are tiny they are sort of okay...other than that, no

And what kind of ice cream will you be getting? my only show is desperate housewives...we don't have cable
i'll be getting mint and chip
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales? enchiladas
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.) point break. honestly, i think dd is a dumb movie :::gasp:::
Fun fun poll!!
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)? Yes, but probably only a breast lift. I am frightened of what it will be like as these ladies start sagging more and more.
My first car was a Ford Aspire. It was white, ran on two chipmunks running on a wheel under the hood (or at least that's what it felt like when you were flooring it to get onto the freeway) and my college friends and I had a blast in it when we made midnight Krispy Kreme runs. What's your best memory in your first car? My dad for some reason thought it would be cool to get me a cherry red '91 Camaro. It was pretty sweet for a 19-year-old!! Driving down Kalakaua in Waikiki one night I totally got mad props from a group of twenty-something boys on my excellent car. That felt pretty damn nice.
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant? Swanky restaurant. I like people watching in these places.
You're offered a job that pays $1mil per year, and you have to stick with it for at least 10 years to get the big annual payout. The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick? Funeral director, but it would still be tough! Only for a million a year...
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate: Cheesecake. Well, I don't really 'hate' it. I just don't like it that much. Believe me, I am totally a dessert person, just don't like cheesecake. Don't like cherry pie much either.
My Barbie dolls lived in houses made of Legos and rode around on My Little Ponies. I was quite the little toy hussy! What was your all time favorite toy as a kid? I also loved all three of these. My favorite was probably my Jem doll though with the earrings that blinked when you switched her on. Plus she came with the cassette tape of the amazingly awesome Jem and the Holograms theme song. "truly, truly, truly outrageous...whoooa Jem!"
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants. Sorry ladies, I actually LOVE wearing leggings as pants but only WITH a tunic or a minidress. What you wear over them must be at least a couple inches below the butt.
You're offered a lifetime supply of your favorite ice cream (or sorbet, for the lactose intolerant among us) in exchange for naming your favorite guilty pleasure TV viewing on a nationwide radio broadcast. So let's hear it - what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to TV shows (the trashier the better!)? And what kind of ice cream will you be getting? Hmm..guily pleasure probably some kind of marathon on VH1 of the "50 trashiest pop stars" and "25 worst celebrity children" etc. etc. Ice cream flavor: mint chip.
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales? Enchiladas.
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.) Dirty Dancing, definitely, although he's pretty good in "To Wong Foo, Love Julie Newmar"

What's your best memory in your first car?
My first car was in H.S. and I drove my mom's OLD BMW. It was a 1983. But it was so cool and it drove so nice. My friends and I thought we were so cool in that thing. But in the winter, I cursed the damn thing. A BMW in the snow doesn't match up.
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant?
Picnics are fun to me but only at the beach. Just not a fan of all the bugs, dirty tables, etc.....but swanky restaurants make me nervous too though. Since I'm such a picky eater, I always have issues. I have to prepare and look at menus.
You're offered a job that pays $1mil per year, and you have to stick with it for at least 10 years to get the big annual payout. The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick?
Funeral director.....I've always wanted to work in forensics so this would be no problem. And thank you for the $1 million......
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate:
Brace yourselves: Asian food, seafood, chocolate, most sweets, pancakes, eggs, the list goes on.......
My Barbie dolls lived in houses made of Legos and rode around on My Little Ponies. I was quite the little toy hussy! What was your all time favorite toy as a kid?
Cabbage Patch Kids and Nintendo
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants.
Please someone make it stop! But if you insist, only certain people should wear these. And I'm not one of them.....!
You're offered a lifetime supply of your favorite ice cream (or sorbet, for the lactose intolerant among us) in exchange for naming your favorite guilty pleasure TV viewing on a nationwide radio broadcast. So let's hear it - what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to TV shows (the trashier the better!)? And what kind of ice cream will you be getting?
Bachelor/Bachelorette, 90210.....mostly anything that kills brain cells. And I'll take Pralines n Creme from Baskin Robbins.
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales?
I will take one of each please. I have no discrimination here. I come from San Diego, I can eat mexican food all day long. *sigh*
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.)
GHOST, I believe I know every word to that movie.
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)?
I've always been "love the body ya got" kind of person, but, really, I would like to have bigger boobs.
My first car was a Ford Aspire. It was white, ran on two chipmunks running on a wheel under the hood (or at least that's what it felt like when you were flooring it to get onto the freeway) and my college friends and I had a blast in it when we made midnight Krispy Kreme runs. What's your best memory in your first car?
My first car was a mini (k) car in Japan. Probably the best memory was driving a stick shift ON THE OTHER SIDE of the car/road.
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant?
I actually really like picnics - it's a catered picnic, right?
You're offered a job that pays $1mil per year, and you have to stick with it for at least 10 years to get the big annual payout. The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick?
Funeral Director, I find comfort in comforting others.
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate:
Phad Thai, there's so much better Thai food
My Barbie dolls lived in houses made of Legos and rode around on My Little Ponies. I was quite the little toy hussy! What was your all time favorite toy as a kid?
Legos, probably, had a whole castle set
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants.
It's everywhere, some people look ok, but I would never wear this look myself.
You're offered a lifetime supply of your favorite ice cream (or sorbet, for the lactose intolerant among us) in exchange for naming your favorite guilty pleasure TV viewing on a nationwide radio broadcast. So let's hear it - what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to TV shows (the trashier the better!)? And what kind of ice cream will you be getting?
Every since we ditched cable, there isn't too much trash to watch *sigh*. The worst show that MH and I got sucked into was probably Tila Tequila's "A Shot at Love" show. But I still watch America's Next Top Model religiously. Oh and all kinds of ice cream, thankyouverymuch,
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales?
Tacos
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.)
To Wong Foo was pretty good; I liked Point Break, too. Like Lisa K, I've never actually seen Dirty Dancing in its entirety.
Hehe, esp with twins, you'll have 2xbaby to think about, so if a poll helps, then let's do it!
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)?
No; no parts...too scary. I won't even do Lasik, even tho my optometrist tells me I'm a good candidate for it =P
My first car was a Ford Aspire. It was white, ran on two chipmunks running on a wheel under the hood (or at least that's what it felt like when you were flooring it to get onto the freeway) and my college friends and I had a blast in it when we made midnight Krispy Kreme runs. What's your best memory in your first car?
Heh, I'm still driving my first car. I got it during senior yr of hs as a "bribe" gift (I chose Berkeley over UCLA for college b/c my dad bribed me with a new car since he wanted me to stay closer to home). I crashed it 5 days after we bought it =P I cried--it was my first accident and it took over a month to get the car back...but it's been running great since then! (Haha, it's not the best memory...but the most memorable memory)
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant?
Swanky restaurant. I'm a foodie and LOVE to try new foods/new chefs/etc.
You're offered a job that pays $1mil per year, and you have to stick with it for at least 10 years to get the big annual payout. The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick?
I'd pick funeral director or roadkill scraper upper, mostly cuz I can deal with corpses (be it animal or human--I'm not grossed out by it because I LOVED dissections in science classes =P anatomy is fascinating to me). But I CANNOT deal with fecal matter.
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate:
Potatoes (except sweet potatoes/yams/taro I like/love), so I don't like fries either...
My Barbie dolls lived in houses made of Legos and rode around on My Little Ponies. I was quite the little toy hussy! What was your all time favorite toy as a kid?
I loved my Barbies and I was pretty attached to a Hot Wheels sports car too. Also loved Legos, board games and video games.
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants.
I think they're okay as long as a long shirt, short dress is worn over it to cover the butt AND with tall boots (preferably knee-high) to cover the calves.
You're offered a lifetime supply of your favorite ice cream (or sorbet, for the lactose intolerant among us) in exchange for naming your favorite guilty pleasure TV viewing on a nationwide radio broadcast. So let's hear it - what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to TV shows (the trashier the better!)? And what kind of ice cream will you be getting?
I want to say my favorites are Lost and Heroes but they're too dandy for the question...so then I would pick Blind Date then--I think that's the "trashiest" I can come up with =P Ben & Jerry's Cherry Garcia OR Ben & Jerry's Mission to Marzipan (can't decide between the two!)
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales?
Ew, that's another thing that most people love that I hate--Mexican food. If I had to eat it though, I'd pick a chicken burrito or fish taco.
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.)
Heh, actually, I've never watched Dirty Dancing before. My favorite is Ghost
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)?
I always tell Vance I'd like bigger boobs, but I've seen girls my size with big boobs and it just looks fake. (Think Tila Tequila-esque).. . I'm not entirely sure about what I'd get right now. I considered tattooing my eyeliner until I heard how expensive it was, if that counts.
What's your best memory in your first car?
I had a Toyota Corolla [named Rocky], which didn't have a whole ton of power & it always loudly growled when I drove uphill or when it rained (not sure why), so everytime I drove home in the rain I'd always chant, "Go Rocky Go!"
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant?
Both please

I hate roaches with a passion, so sewer cleaner is out for sure. However, I'm not too keen on touching anything dead.. . ugh I can't answer this question without getting the heebiejeebies.
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate:
Fish. I don't eat too much red meat either (mainly a chicken/turkey kind of girl)
What was your all time favorite toy as a kid?
A cardboard box! That, rollerblades, a soccer ball and sprinklers in the yard. So much fun.
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants.
Not bad on stick-thin celebrities, but definitely doesn't look good on my body type... I think I'm too short or something.
You're offered a lifetime supply of your favorite ice cream (or sorbet, for the lactose intolerant among us) in exchange for naming your favorite guilty pleasure TV viewing on a nationwide radio broadcast.

Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)?
Maybe a tummy tuck and/or breast lift after I'm done having kids. If things don't bounce back the way I hope!
ETA: Does laser hair removal count? I'd do that for sure.
My first car was a Ford Aspire. It was white, ran on two chipmunks running on a wheel under the hood (or at least that's what it felt like when you were flooring it to get onto the freeway) and my college friends and I had a blast in it when we made midnight Krispy Kreme runs. What's your best memory in your first car?
My first car was an '89 Honda Civic. I don't have too many crazy memories in that car because usually my friends drove when we went out. But I remember walking to my car one morning and it wasn't there...it had been stolen. So now every time I don't see my car right away when I go back to it, my heart skips a beat a little.
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant?
I think I'd prefer a picnic at the beach or park.
You're offered a job that pays $1mil per year, and you have to stick with it for at least 10 years to get the big annual payout. The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick?
None of the above! Unless I can scrape roadkill with a 20 foot poll!
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate:
Cheese! I don't always hate it, but I'm really picky about it. (I like pizza and some melted cheese, but I hate "raw" cheese. The weirdest thing - I LOOOOOOVE cheese flavored stuff like Cheetos.)
My Barbie dolls lived in houses made of Legos and rode around on My Little Ponies. I was quite the little toy hussy! What was your all time favorite toy as a kid?
Barbies. I especially loved my red Barbie Ferrari and pink Corvette!
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants.
Not a fan.
You're offered a lifetime supply of your favorite ice cream (or sorbet, for the lactose intolerant among us) in exchange for naming your favorite guilty pleasure TV viewing on a nationwide radio broadcast. So let's hear it - what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to TV shows (the trashier the better!)? And what kind of ice cream will you be getting?
I don't watch any trashy shows! But I still love Jon & Kate Plus 8 (for the Plus 8, anyways). I'll take vanilla mochi ice cream please!
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales?
Tacos. Fish tacos.Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.)
Dirty Dancing. It's a classic. And I absolutely loved it when I was a kid.
It's because we're awesome, lol.
Don't freak out, Lisa! You'll be great! Just take one day at a time. :-)
Plastic surgery -- Maybe a breast lift if bfing ruins me?
First car -- 1964 white VW Rabbit! I painted a giant sunflower on the hood and one door green and afriend painted agiant eyeball on the roof of the car. Oh and ladybugs on one door... It had a cut out inside for asunroof and a lever to oprn it but there was no sunroof on the outside so you could twist the lever forever and no sunroof! Ha! The car was diesel so it ran well but every time it rained, it woulds flood and I'd have to bail out water in order to use the pedals. Finally the water hit the electric system and my car died. I cried when my dad had it towed.
Depends. I would love a long lazy relaxing lunch with my DH and Alexa on a picnic blanket with some music playing, white wine and a cool temperature.... I'd take that over a swanky restaurant lunch any day. But most days, swanky lunch is easier and more realistic...
Food everyone in Hawaii loves but I hate -- Spam Musibi
Hey! My Barbie dolls also lived in Lego castles and rode My Little Ponies! Plus they played with Care Bears and Cabbage Patch Kids! I also loved model horses and Strawberry Shortcake and porcelain dolls. And my American Girl doll Samantha who is now in a new outfit in Alexa's room!! Hands down favorite: LEGOS
Leggings worn as pants -- yuck! Please don't!
Favorite trashy TV -- "Rock of Love"!! And before that, "Flavor Flav's TV show"!!! Chocolate ice cream!!!
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales? MARGARITAS!!!!!!!!!!

OMG this reminds me of a pet peeve. A big trend right now at the university where I work is an old button up shirt (like the kind you'd steal from a boyfriend), tucked into leggings, and with Ugg boots. I'm telling you, it's Camel Toe Junction in Fug City.
Wouldn't tucking something into leggings make you bumpy and lumpy all over? Why would anyone want to do that??
We need a picture of this, stat.
I'll have to see if I can sneak one sometime! The lumpiness depends on the person - some shove it down any old way, and that's really lumpy. Others must kind of fold it so it at least lays flat against their body, but you can still see it through the leggings. The most innovative one I saw was a girl who was also wearing a very wide belt - I think she must have had the shirt folded up under the belt so it didn't really go down into the leggings, because she didn't have any lines.
HAHAHAHAHAHA. Love it! You crack me up.
LMFAO! I am dying!

What's your best memory in your first car? My first car wasn't bad but I really enjoyed my 3rd car - an S-10 pickup. Totally not my style, but I loved it. I had some great memories (tailgating at football games, taking it on road trips to concerts at the Gorge, I drove it down to AZ when I moved there).

The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick? ick. I'm not sure the money would be worth it but I think I could wear a haz mat uniform and clean up road kill (maybe).
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate: meat - most of it.
My Barbie dolls lived in houses made of Legos and rode around on My Little Ponies. I was quite the little toy hussy! What was your all time favorite toy as a kid? barbies. But actually my favorite "toy" wasn't a toy at all - I loved my chest of dress up clothes.
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants. not my style, but I don't mind them on other people.

I don't watch much TV, but I never miss Project Runway or Amazing Race (not sure if they are "trashy" enough...)
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales? all of the above.
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.) I think I have only watched Dirty Dancing and Ghost - both pretty good.
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)? Maybe a boob lift, they're like 2 floppy pancakes these days.

It was white, ran on two chipmunks running on a wheel under the hood (or at least that's what it felt like when you were flooring it to get onto the freeway) and my college friends and I had a blast in it when we made midnight Krispy Kreme runs. What's your best memory in your first car? I was this HUGE gas guzzling lincoln towncar rip off, it fit seriously like 8 people w/ bench seats in the front. It was just a piece of junk that if somone spilled soda in it, it was jut no big deal. I loved having it packed w/ all of my friends and "crusing" (duh, I know).
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant? Swanky restaurant, I love going to new retaurants. If there is a restaurant that I haven't eaten at, I feel like I've missed something, regardless if the food is good or not.

The catch is, the job isn't a very nice one: you have the choice between a funeral director (complete with preparing corpses), a sewer cleaner, or a roadkill scraper upper. What do you pick? my first choice would be to not take it since I think I'd be miserable for 10 years and I'd rather be happy and broke than rich and miserable. But if that wasn't an option, probably the sewer cleaner. I think I could find some mask that would keep the stench out, but I don't think I'd be able to sew a dead persons lips closed.
Name a food that it seems like everyone else loves, but you hate: Fish, any kind, sushi, lobster, shrimp, tuna. The smell and texture make me want to gag. Watching people take a hammer to a crab and eat around it's guts is just about the grossest thing I can imagine.
My Barbie dolls lived in houses made of Legos and rode around on My Little Ponies. I was quite the little toy hussy! What was your all time favorite toy as a kid? My dad would buy us a gift on his way home from work if we stayed home sick. Real sick, not the fake sick soley for the purpose of staying home. Once he bought me a Dukes of Hazzard Activity book. i thought it was just the best thing ever.
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants. If you can swing it, I'm all for it. I however am not stylish or confident enough to pull it off.

So let's hear it - what's your guilty pleasure when it comes to TV shows (the trashier the better!)? And what kind of ice cream will you be getting? Anything reality TV related, and I'm not talking about network TV, I mean the seedier VH1 shows like Tool Academy or NYC prep on Bravo, the shows that make you hate humanity. I'll be getting "Everything But The..." by Ben and Jerrys, it just has everything that's good in the world swirled into one small pint size container.
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales? Tamales
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.) I get no bonus points
Dirty Dancing is as important as Grease to our generation.

What's your best memory in your first car?
I'm having a hard time with this - worst memory would be the crash 6 months after I got it. Best would probably be all the roadtrips - I gave that car a run for its money!
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant?
swanky restaurant food often doesn't sit well with my digestive system. assuming I can get a lounge chair and not have to sit on the ground to eat, i'm choosing the outdoor picnic (in the sunshine, no bugs allowed!)

I feel like I'm on an episode of "Dirty Jobs" LOL I'm going with funeral director.

blocks - and bristle blocks - anyone remember those? I was also pretty big on the McDonald's set I had - like the Fisher Price house, it came with people (but the bases were square, not round), and there was a drive through, and little trays with 2 dimensional food on them.
Describe to me your feelings on leggings worn as pants.
wouldn't do it. brings me back to 80s spandex. if it's under a tunic or something, then maybe it's ok.

numb3rs is my nerdy guilty pleasure, although if it's trashy you're after, then Rock of Love, LOL something like vanilla fudge, or chubby hubby

tacos that I can build myself - no cheese

Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)?
You know, my young bratty self would have declared "NEVER!" but now that wrinkles are settling in, I have a more "mature" answer. I think I'd consider botox on my face one of these days and perhaps a post-baby tummy tuck.
My first car was a Ford Aspire. It was white, ran on two chipmunks running on a wheel under the hood (or at least that's what it felt like when you were flooring it to get onto the freeway) and my college friends and I had a blast in it when we made midnight Krispy Kreme runs. What's your best memory in your first car?
Black Ford Mustang convertible. I have awesome memories of flying down the freeway way, way too fast with the top down and my friends and I singing along to Phantom of the Opera at the tops of our lungs.
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant?
Swanky restaurant. I don't like weather. Or bugs.

I think I gotta go with sewer cleaner. Can't deal with dead things. But good grief that would suck!

RedShoeLisa I am so with you: Bell peppers. Can't STAND them, regardless of color or preparation. Blech!

America's Next Top Model. Sometimes when my husband catches me watching it he wonders aloud why in the world he ever married me. The ice cream would have to be sugar free pumpkin. Yum!
Burritos, tacos, quesadillas, enchiladas or tamales?
Yes please! But if I had to pick, I'd probably say bean tacos.
Lastly, in honor of Patrick Swayze - your favorite of his movies? (Special bonus points if it's NOT Dirty Dancing...although I think that's most peoples' favorite lol.)
Roadhouse b!tches, ROADHOUSE! But yeah...I really loved DD too.
Would you ever consider plastic surgery? If so, on what body part(s)?
Oh yeah...I plan to have a tummy tuck and breast lift for my 40th birthday!
What's your best memory in your first car? I had a 1980 Honda Prelude (5 speed) with a sun rood. I loved taking to to the beach and sometimes we'd load my BF's surfboard in through the sun roof! Hated learning to drive it on the hills of SF though! That sucked royally.
Assuming it's free, would you rather go on a picnic outdoors or to lunch at a swanky restaurant?
Swanky restaurant...chef's tasting menu with wine pairings please!

Don't like it at all, until the top is a really long tunic and even then, it's questionable.

The Outsiders. BTW, my first husband looks A LOT like Patrick Swayze...it's uncanny really. Kind of a cross between him and Kurt Russell.

Also, you had a Mustang convertible for your first car??? LUCKY!
I'm totally late adding my two cents to this poll, but I just wanted to say it generated the best quotes EVER!!!
K-Shiz - "Dirty Dancing is as important as Grease to our generation" (SO true! I knew the lines by heart from both of these shows when I was younger).
RedShoeLisa - "I'm telling you, it's Camel Toe Junction in Fug City." LMAO!!

It's a trifecta! I despise Bell Peppers too. I had to avoid them at all costs, which is tricky, especially when you try to order "lighter" fare since for some reason people think low-fat/healthier foods need the color and flavor of these nasty peppers to make them palatable. ICK!
