Re: Since it's so slow, let's do a fun poll!
1. Would you rather have The Force or a magic wand? Explanations not necessary, but certainly encouraged. 150% a magic wand. I'm still hoping to get my letter from Hogwarts.
2. Are you a white or wheat bread kind of gal? Wheat all of the way, baby! The more seeds and grains in it, the better. My favorite is rye.
3. Cake, cookies, or pie? Favorite kind? Warm apple pie with vanilla ice cream. Yum!
4. What is the strangest dream you've had in the past month? Well... for the past three nights I've had dreams where I'm hunting demons and shacking up with with Dean from Supernatural. But... these are not that weird to me. They are wonderful since I would totally leave my husband for Dean.
5. What is a habit of yours that sometimes drives others crazy? A lot of people say that I talk like I'm in a book, almost like I use words and sentence structure that you only ever see in books. I don't notice it too much, though.
6. Strangest thing you've ever ate? I had raw oysters on a half-shell topped with escargot and floating in a jello-like substance when I was in London. It was too weird sounding not to try, and it was actually really good!
7. Where do you feel the most at home, other than your house? I felt so at home when I studied abroad in London. I would've stayed there if I wasn't engaged, no questions asked.
8. What is your guilty pleasure? Lady Gaga. she doesn't really fit with any of my musical tastes, but I love her.
9. How do you take your peanut butter: crunchy or smooth? Smooth. There's something I don't like about chewing my peanut butter.
10. Favorite movie quote? Well, it's sort of a book and movie quote... "It is our choices... that show who we truly are, far more than our abilities." -Albus Dumbledore
1. Would you rather have The Force or a magic wand? Explanations not necessary, but certainly encouraged. The Force. I don't need to wave something around to be awesome.
2. Are you a white or wheat bread kind of gal? Pumpernickel
3. Cake, cookies, or pie? Favorite kind? Cake. Pistachio.
4. What is the strangest dream you've had in the past month? That my mother was still alive but my dad decided to sell their house and propose to another woman.
5. What is a habit of yours that sometimes drives others crazy? I wear my work keys on a 'biner. Sometimes I'll keep it tucked in my belt loop and I jingle.
6. Strangest thing you've ever ate? Um. Eel? Pigeon? Pork neck? Dandelions? Do any of those count?
7. Where do you feel the most at home, other than your house? Sadly, in my lab.
8. What is your guilty pleasure? Lady Gaga
9. How do you take your peanut butter: crunchy or smooth? Crunchy. I like feeling like there are real nuts in my nut butter.
10. Favorite movie quote? Now you see that Evil will always win because Good is dumb.
1. Would you rather have The Force or a magic wand? Explanations not necessary, but certainly encouraged. A magic wand that would be sweet. Whip it out like abracadabra, now your a frog!
2. Are you a white or wheat bread kind of gal? We buy wheat bread cause its better for you. But I look buttermilk bread.
3. Cake, cookies, or pie? Favorite kind? Hmm, that's a hard one. I think I'd have to go with a death my chocolate cake with a big glass of cold milk.
4. What is the strangest dream you've had in the past month? I don't really remember my dreams. DH was being an ass in my dream the other night ( don't remember what he was doing) and I woke he up and told him to stop being mean to me.
5. What is a habit of yours that sometimes drives others crazy? I messy and it drives DH crazy. I try to keep the house clean but its a constant battle with myself
6. Strangest thing you've ever ate? I had sushi with salmon roe, raw quail egg and avocado that looked like an eye that was pretty weird. I also tried alligator when we went to Texas, it was pretty good.

8. What is your guilty pleasure? Bad pop music.
9. How do you take your peanut butter: crunchy or smooth? Smooth
10. Favorite movie quote? "I'm so tired of these mother Fu**ing snakes on this mother fu**ing plane!"Before I get started - did you join the Facebook group we set up? There's a lot of chatting going on there
1. Would you rather have The Force or a magic wand? Explanations not necessary, but certainly encouraged.
Definitely a magic wand
I would never have to make clothing decisions. I would just put on my underwear and whip the wand out to complete the work.
2. Are you a white or wheat bread kind of gal?
Sour dough all the way! I grew up with it.
3. Cake, cookies, or pie? Favorite kind?
Chocolate chip cookies! I love love love them...
4. What is the strangest dream you've had in the past month?
A few days ago, I had a dream in which my sister was killing chickens. She was trying to get this huge bowl of alcohol on fire to burn off the feathers, and I was flipping out at her because I was scared of causing fire... weird
5. What is a habit of yours that sometimes drives others crazy?
I am a control freak and sometimes, I do just let it go, but there are times when I can't
6. Strangest thing you've ever ate?
Chicken assholes - I ate it in Seoul, South Korea and while chewing it I was thinking: which part of chicken is it? I swallowed the first one, and spat the second one. Could not handle it.
7. Where do you feel the most at home, other than your house?
My parents in law's house in Atlanta. I love that house and they love having me and hubby there. I wish I could move there
8. What is your guilty pleasure?
Jersey Shore and chocolate. My friends don't understand how I watch JS, but it's just such stupid entertainment, and on some tough days, I just need these idiots on my TV screen. I don't think I need to justify chocolate
9. How do you take your peanut butter: crunchy or smooth?
I don't take it at all. I think it's an acquired taste and I was not raised with it
10. Favorite movie quote?
"The day I bring an ODing b*tch to your house, then I give her the shot"
My Blog
1. Would you rather have The Force or a magic wand? Explanations not necessary, but certainly encouraged. Hmm ... The Force by default I guess. As much as a wand would be awesome (because I love HP and hate Star Wars), it's kind of inconvenient because you have to stash it in a pocket or holster or fanny pack and pull it out when needed - I'd either end up dropping it at a crucial moment or I'd lose it.
2. Are you a white or wheat bread kind of gal? I guess white bread because I grew up on it and that's what we always buy, although I don't mind wheat bread.
3. Cake, cookies, or pie? Favorite kind? Cake all the way. I make an amazing Better Than "Anything" cake (using Andes candy pieces or chopped up Milky Way/Snickers instead of Heath bars) - that's probably my favorite.
4. What is the strangest dream you've had in the past month? I had a dream the other night that Hubs was an X-Man. It started out weird, then it got steamy ... fun times. I also had a dream that I was kidnapped on my walk to work and Hubs was able to track me down using the Find My Friends app on the iPhone. I watch too many crime shows.
5. What is a habit of yours that sometimes drives others crazy? I have a tendency to zone out when people are talking to me - like if B is telling me a story and then asks me a question, I don't always hear him (but it's not my fault because usually he's talking about something boring like sports and I just don't care). Or when he asks me what we need for groceries and I start to answer and then forget what I'm talking about because I'm daydreaming or playing on Pinterest. Or when I'm on the phone with my mom and I'm watching TV at the same time and I stop responding because I'm too focused on the show.
6. Strangest thing you've ever ate? I can't think of anything strange that I've ever eaten. I like to play it safe when it comes to food.
7. Where do you feel the most at home, other than your house? My mom's house. Haha. Or in our car. I love our car.
8. What is your guilty pleasure? Jersey Shore. Ugh, it's awful.
9. How do you take your peanut butter: crunchy or smooth? Smooth.
10. Favorite movie quote? "Do you want a bite of my big bear sandwich? It's got meat and cheeses." - Megan (aka Melissa McCarthy) in Bridesmaids
