Since it's slow
Remember way back before Christmas when I said I found some neat things in the Wimpy Kid book?? Yeah, I left my notebook at the school over break, so I couldn't post any more. Well, here's another one for the slow Tuesday disguising itself as a Monday.

~Something you wish you were brave enough to do? Sky dive. But I'm scared to death of free falling.

~What is the most boring sport to watch on TV? Basketball. I love basketball in person, but when it's on TV, it's boring as schit. I'd rather watch golf.

~What would be the title of the book of your life?

Stand up for something you believe in.
~Ever eaten food out of the trash? I've been known to drop potatoes or carrots in the trash while peeling them. If they didn't land in anything nasty, I'll admit to pulling them out and washing them off and still easting them.
ETA: not when I'm cooking for someone else or at the commerial kitchen. But for just us, meh. I'm not that germaphobic.
~Restaurant with the best french fries? a place up in Breckenridge called Empire Burger. So crispy and topped with sea salt and you get one of like 20 different dipping sauces. Awesomenes. Trainwreck in STL also has good fries (as I was reminded this past week).
~Something you tried once but will never try again? skiing. I was so gung-ho about it the first time, and I hated it. Don't see the fun in it at all.
~Something you wish you were brave enough to do? just quit my job, like today.
~If you could eliminate one holiday, which one and why? honestly, Christmas. It's overrated and over commercialized and just comes with too much unnecessary stress. I would at least seriously reform the holiday.
~What is the most boring sport to watch on TV? golf for sure.
~Which store could you go on a shopping spree? Crate and Barrel

~Something you wish you were brave enough to do? oh where do I start- I am a scardy cat!

~What is the most boring sport to watch on TV? Golf
~Which store could you go on a shopping spree? Can I say any- if not I would say Macys- I could do some damage there or Nordstrom.
~What would be the title of the book of your life? a Fabulous MessLike this:
That's the skycoaster at Kennywood park. I tried it once and actually liked it considering my fear of free falling. MH is afraid of heights and I've been trying to get him on it for years.
PROBING QUESTIONS
~Ever eaten food out of the trash? not that I can think of; like Nooner I've dropped things I was peeling in the garbage but just picked them up and washed them off.
~Restaurant with the best french fries? skinny fires: Steak & Shake; wedge fries: Leona's seasoned fries with sour cream for dipping

~If you could eliminate one holiday, which one and why? I'm gonna say Easter only because for me, personally, it causes a lot of stress with my family when I don't go to church or want to celebrate the Catholic meaning behind it. I'd rather just consider it a belated Ostara or Vernal Equinox celebration and be done with it. Also? Cadbury Creme Eggs are the devil.
