  • Have you ever been arrested?  Yes.. but I'd have to kill you if I told you about it :)

    Do you refrigerate your butter?  ketchup? Yes and Yes

    How do you feel about all this snow? Doesn't bother me..  I like snow.  The weather on Wednesday was disgusting and I do NOT like that.

    How did you meet your husband? online personal ad.  bwahahahha

    Did you know people leave butter out on their counters, like.. ALL THE TIME? I found this out like yesterday

    What are you doing for valentine's day? nothing.  we never do anything.

    Was this random enough for you? psha.  no way man.

  • Have you ever been arrested? Only for charity (annual camp fundraiser has a jail where it costs a couple bucks to arrest someone, and you have to raise a few more dollars as bail)Do you refrigerate your butter?  ketchup? Yes to both. But, if I'm baking or cooking with the butter, I let it come to room temp first (unless its for a crumble or something, where you want cold butter)How do you feel about all this snow? It sure is pretty at my house. Only a couple of animal tracks breaking up the otherwise pristine snow. The drifts are too deep that I don't dare go out there with Shannon now though. The hill on the rear of my property is almost snowboard-worthy (if it really were, DH would be all over that)!How did you meet your husband? Summer camp. There's more to this story, but most of you have heard it all before.Did you know people leave butter out on their counters, like.. ALL THE TIME? I know a few people who do that. I don't typically eat butter though, so no worries when I dine at their houses.How do you feel about that? It's dairy. I refrigerate my dairy. What are you doing this weekend? Hemming and hawing over whether I should just bite the bullet and potty train my girl starting Monday, or do I wait until the weather is and therefore my house is a bit warmer?What are you doing for valentine's day? Same thing I do everyday. Valentine's Day is not all that special in my house.Was this random enough for you? It worked!

  • Have you ever been arrested? No.

    Do you refrigerate your butter?  ketchup? I used to leave the butter out, but DH likes it refrigerated. I always refrigerate ketchup.

    How do you feel about all this snow? I don't mind the snow, except that I can't stand when my job expects me to report before a blizzard warning has been lifted, and hours before they even finish plowing the parking lots.

    How did you meet your husband? I was in college, he was an alum visiting mutual friends.

    Did you know people leave butter out on their counters, like.. ALL THE TIME? I did know that! I used to do it. Warm butter spreads so much better than stuff from the fridge.

    How do you feel about that? I wish it didn't freak my DH out.

    What are you doing this weekend? Painting the room that will be our nursery!

    What are you doing for valentine's day? "celebrating" at home, nothing big this year.

    Was this random enough for you? Perfect to help pass this very slow Friday afternoon.

    How did you meet your husband?  In college through a mutual friend.

    Did you know people leave butter out on their counters, like.. ALL THE TIME?  Yes

    How do you feel about that?  Eh.. my parents do it, and always did when I was growing up.  I always scraped off the top layer before I would use it and thrown it away.  I don't really know what that did though.

    What are you doing this weekend?  Well, we have luxury box tickets to go to the Bruin's game tomorrow and then our neighbors for the Super Bowl, but it's looking like we'll end up doing nothing.  :(

    Was this random enough for you?  haha, the butter part was.

  • Have you ever been arrested?  Nope

    Do you refrigerate your butter?  ketchup?  Yes to both

    How do you feel about all this snow?  I don't normally mind snow (I think it's very pretty), but there's just so darn much of it, and it's hard to see anything over the huge snow banks when I'm turning out of driveways, etc!

    How did you meet your husband?  online personals on yahoo.

    Did you know people leave butter out on their counters, like.. ALL THE TIME?  hmm.  Not sure if I knew this.

    How do you feel about that?  I think that the butter would be nice and easy to spread if left out on the counter, so it is very appealing to me when it comes to buttering toast!

    What are you doing this weekend?  My friend is coming over tonight to watch the Bachelor.  I'll also be doing a trial run of DD's birthday cake, my first ever attempt with fondant, yikes.  Otherwise, not much else.

    What are you doing for valentine's day?  Nothing to my knowledge.  Maybe a special dinner & dessert, but we don't normally go out to celebrate.

    Was this random enough for you?  No, I could have used a little more randomness.  I'm disappointed, Jana!  Smooches!

    How do you feel about that? it's not for me but i do like spreadable butter for bread, but that is why i buy the butter with a little olive oil.

    What are you doing this weekend?  going to g-town for a mini-date tonight, making pulled pork tonight and *cover your eyes jana!* italian drip beef on sunday, cleaning, and having a few people over to watch the super bowl. i do plan to fit in at least one workout in too.

  • Have you ever been arrested? Surprisingly, no.Do you refrigerate your butter?  ketchup? Yes to both.How do you feel about all this snow? I didn't care until it took me 45 minutes to go 1/2 mile yesterday because a 2 way street was down to 1 way and no one could get by each other.How did you meet your husband? In a Boston AOL chatroom.  We were making fun of the same person.  Ahhhh...it was love!Did you know people leave butter out on their counters, like.. ALL THE TIME? I certainly did.  Growing up it was always on the counter, but in a butter dish.  My Prudence grandmother does it too.  How do you feel about that? Doesn't bother me in the least since I grew up with it.  If I use the last of the butter at my grandmother's, i get out another stick!What are you doing this weekend? Dance class tomorrow, filling some orders, and watching the SUPER BOWL BABY!!What are you doing for valentine's day? No idea.  But the Friday before Dan and I are taking a romantic burlesque dance class at Mel's dance school.  Then the next day we're going to a wedding.  So it will be a romantic weekend anyhow.Was this random enough for you? It kinda was!

  • Have you ever been arrested? Almost....when I was in high school we were partying in the woods of what we thought was a friends yard. Happened to be Narragansett Electric's property in North Smithfield. The cops came and since there was so many of us, and the keg was not tapped yet they decided not to arrest us but took all are information. The next day they called my parents (I had already told them what happened) and I have to go to family court cause I was only 17. Narrgansett Electric charged us with trespassing and I had to do 20 hours of community service. Surprisingly, my parents weren't mad at all, I thought they were going to beat the living crap out of me. But nothing at all.

    Do you refrigerate your butter?  ketchup? yes and yes. Butter comes in the fridge why not keep it in the fridge and I am pretty sure the ketchup bottle says to refrigerate after opening

    How do you feel about all this snow? It didn't bother me until today when I found out the my gym is closed because of the snow on the roof and so my personal training session is cancelled for tomorrow. The board of health shut them down because they need to get the snow off the roof cause its in danger of collapsing

    How did you meet your husband? One of his friends was dating my best friend, he had seen a picture of me and thought I was "hot" (yes he used that word. I was 17 and he was 21)

    Did you know people leave butter out on their counters, like.. ALL THE TIME? my memere does and it always grossed me out, I would never use butter at her house. Too soft and slimy

    How do you feel about that? answer above

    What are you doing this weekend? working the bar tonight, doing some errands tomorrow then getting together with family at night for my memere's 86th birthday. (maybe I should get her a new butter dish Wink) On Sunday, I think I may head to the bar to watch the superbowl with Jay.

    What are you doing for valentine's day? Probably nothing. Like any 'ole Monday night. Maybe do dinner on Saturday night instead of Monday.

    Was this random enough for you? sure was

    Have you ever been arrested? No

    Do you refrigerate your butter?  ketchup? Yes and yes

    How do you feel about all this snow? I've had enough.  It's making it difficult to walk the dogs and keep my enormous, waddling body active.

    How did you meet your husband? Through his best friend who loooooved me.  We were all bar friends.

    Did you know people leave butter out on their counters, like.. ALL THE TIME? I don't because we don't use it enough and it gets all dog hair and stuff caught in it.  (I guess if I had a covered dish I might)

    How do you feel about that? That's cool.  I think butter is pretty stable.  It does suck to spread cold, hard butter on bread.  Although as much as I love bread we don't eat "bread and butter," per se, often.  So it's not really a hot button issue at my house.

    What are you doing this weekend? Snowshoeing if it's not too icy, otherwise Lincoln Woods with the dogs.  My BFF's 30th birthday on Saturday night.  I guess watching the Superbowl at home.

    What are you doing for valentine's day? Um...gleefully unwrapping the prenatal massage gift certificate from my husband that I've been hinting about for weeks? Wishful thinking?

    Was this random enough for you? Meh, could've been more random.  ;)

    What are you doing this weekend? tonight, nothing. tomorrow, Benjamin is meeting some cousins on my side of the family for the first time. Sunday, same ole, same ole during the day (mass, grocery shopping, laundry) with a little Super Bowl chaser at night.

  • Have you ever been arrested? - No, but like Kris&Jay it was close. I was 16 and my boyfriend and I went to a local park to hang out. We were literally just hanging out and talking in the front seat. A cop showed up and told us we were trespassing. He took down our information and a notice was sent home to my parents. They wanted me to go to court and do community service but my Dad went to the station and talked them out of it. It was bad. I'm amazed I'm still alive today.

    Do you refrigerate your butter?  ketchup? - Yes to both.

    How do you feel about all this snow? - I'm done. I work in education and we're going to be in school until July at this rate.

    How did you meet your husband? - College.

    Did you know people leave butter out on their counters, like.. ALL THE TIME? - Yea I think I knew that.

    How do you feel about that? - Eh. It's not for me.

    What are you doing this weekend? - Had a girls night at a friend's last night. Ate, drank, and watched Eat, Pray, Love. Today I cleaned the house a bit, finished my taxes, and did some school work. Tomorrow will probably be the same as today.

    What are you doing for valentine's day? - DH has a basketball game (he's a HS girls JV basketball coach) so nothing on the actual day but we want to go to The Melting Pot.

    Was this random enough for you? - Yup.
