Another Meme--by way of Red and Red

Found this on Red's blog, who found it on Red's blog (though I don't know where this Red's post went!), so I thought I would give it a go!

Do you sleep with your closet door open or closed?
Have to keep the doors on the closet closed or the cat goes into the farthest corner to sleep—then I can’t find her forever!

Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotels?
I always take the ‘amenities’ from hotels—I donate them to the local women’s shelter when I have enough.

Have you ever stolen a street sign before?
No—nothing I ever thought of doing.

Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of bees?
I guess I would have to go with the bear—I have a deathly fear of bees.

What is your biggest pet peeve?
WAY too many pet peeves to even begin to list them!

Do you ever dance if there's no music playing?
On occasion—but the cat looks at me funny, so I don’t usually. (It is REALLY sad when the cat looks at you as if you have lost your mind!)

What's your favorite scary movie?
The first Alien movie—scared the bejeebers out of me!

Where would you bury hidden treasure?
Most anywhere in the UP of Michigan—I’m STILL convinced there are many bodies buried up here that haven’t been found yet!

What is your "song of the week"?
Still listening to The Best of Chris Isaak before falling asleep and John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton when I’m driving—so they are my ‘CDs of the week’ instead of ‘song of the week.’

Is it OK for guys to wear pink?
I guess whatever floats your boat…

What movies could you watch over and over and still love?
Secondhand Lions, Mr. Blandings Builds His Dreamhouse, Men In Black 1 & 2, all of the Matrix movies, Animal House, Blues Brothers, Arsenic and Old Lace—just a partial list. All of these I could watch any time.

Were you ever a boy/girl scout?
Was a brownie, then was a girl scout years later—but not for too long. I also was in 4-H.

What is your usual bedtime?
No usual bedtime—I’m an empty-nester night owl, so your guess is as good as mine!

When you were a kid, what did you dress up as for Halloween?
I really can’t remember any of my costumes from when I was a kid. I DO remember The Mother and me dressing up as male and female hoboes after I was married—we went around to see if anyone knew who we were. None did.

Who is better... Leno or Letterman?
Always have been a fan of Leno, but he is starting to wear on me—don’t watch him as much as I used to.

Occupations you wanted to be when you were a kid?
Telephone operator, doctor, medical researcher…don’t remember what else.

Cheetos or Fritos?
Cheetos, Fritos, Doritos, Funyuns, chips, pretzels, popcorn…tell me to stop at any time!

Astronomy or astrology?
Astronomy—I LOVE to watch the stars. My youngest daughter and I always waited for the meteorite showers every year so we could go out and watch the ‘falling stars.’

Is there a profession you picture your future spouse doing?
He is my present—and only—spouse and I only imagine him retiring in the future. God helps us all!

How well would you adapt to living in an Amish community?
Me, girl geek, living WITHOUT a computer, TV, VCR, DVD player, MP3 player, PDA, cell phone…yeah, RIGHT!

Put your iPod on random. What song comes up?
I DON’T do iPods—I have a Zen Micro! And the song that would come up most often is Layla by Eric Clapton—I have it in there multiple times.

Do you burn incense?
Haven’t for YEARS. I always remember The Mother burning it to hide the smell of cigarette smoke—this was when she pretended not to smoke.

Hot tea or cold tea?
Either way—depends on the time of year.

Tea or coffee?
Usually coffee—but we are really getting into the whole tea thing, also.

Can you swim well?
Barely.

Can you hold your breath without manually holding your nose?
Ah, YEAH.

Which are better, black or green olives?
Don’t care for olives, but will, on occasion, eat black ones.

Do you have any godchildren?
The Brother’s youngest girl is my godchild—I wasn’t allowed to be for the three oldest because they were baptized Catholic.

Red Roof or Econolodge?
Never been in either.

Do you like to go camping?
You’re talking to the one who couldn’t have made it at Woodstock because there were no showers! Camping and me—won’t happen.

Are you suddenly realizing that maybe you're more high-maintenance than you're willing to admit?
Older I get, the more high-maintenance I am—and I’m worth it!

If your parents are still married, do they have a good marriage?
I guess—don’t talk to them much, but they have been married 52 years, so I guess they are okay with each other.

What is your favorite episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air?
Never was a real big fan, so I have no answer.
