Bonus Questions Meme
From Friday 5: Bonus Questions
What’s your favorite frozen treat on a stick?
No stick needed!
Once in a while, I will still cave in and have one - maybe one a year - but then I get really ill afterward. So I wait until I forget just how sick, and that takes about a year, before I have another. [P.S. Homemade are better.]
What’s your favorite lollipop?
I'm not really a fan of hard candy in any form. I have to be hard up for something sweet to go that route. Espcially now, when sweets are few and far between for me.
When you passed notes during class in high school, who was mostly often the recipient?
I'm offended that you think I'm too old for having texted my way through school instead of doing that ^^ - not. I kid.
Usually it was my good pals, Dr. Lisa, Shana, Stacey K. or others. Girls. Rarely would I pass notes with a guy, but it happened! ;)
Who among your high school friends was the first to get his or her own car?
I got my car first, I think, amongst my group of friends. However, I never got to drive it without permission! That's another twisted story that illustrates how dysfunctional my family was. If I haven't shared it before, I will have to get to that another time, because I'm in too good a mood.
Who’s the black sheep in your family?
We used to say it was my sister, Stacey, because she was so different than the other three of us. However, I'm the only one who doesn't still talk to everyone else (except her of course), and maybe that means it's me. You know what? I'm fine with that. I've jettisoned away from all that negativity.
Who’s the family historian?
Again, that would be me. I like to keep track of everything and encapsulate each moment. I hope that my children will appreciate that some day, the way I love looking at pictures of my parents and their youths, and sometimes, even my own.
What was the last thing you sprayed from a spray bottle?
Probably Windex - and I need to do it again. My bathroom mirror is 'sgustin'!
What was the last thing you sprayed from an aerosol can?
Maybe not this brand, but it was definitely sunscreen. We went to the beach twice while Rob's brother and his kids were here last week. No, wait, I think I sprayed the toilet with some gunk a night or two ago. It stains easily and looks gross, and I clean it at least twice a week because of that.
When did you last make reservations for something?
I have to do it fairly regularly for my shops, so I think it was the last time I went to the tapas place. Good stuff, that.
What’s your next upcoming appointment?
I have to schedule an MRI for this week. I mentioned it in Friday Fragments a few posts down, but a CT scan revealed a lesion on my left temporal lobe, and we need to find out what, exactly, it is. I'm not freaking out. I'm not freaking out. I'm not freaking out.
What store’s departure from your preferred shopping mall most saddened you?
Maybe I'm not normal, but it would sadden me more if such a silly thing saddened me. Really? I don't even get this concept.
What’s good to eat at your preferred shopping mall?
Dude. I don't even have a preferred shopping mall, let alone know what's good to eat there.
I'll tell you this, though: When we go to a mall, almost always for a shop, we (my family) enjoy making the food court circuit and getting a hundred samples to eat. It's a free, full meal for me and the tiny kids, and it's a good snack for Rob and Sophie.
What services (as opposed to goods) do you pay for at your preferred shopping mall?
What's with all the mall questions? I'm, like, getting a headache and stuff.
Okay, my attempt at answering this question will be: no, can't do it. I'm not a girl who gets her hair and nails did at the mall, and I can't think of any other mallular services.
What’s a store you’ve never been inside at your preferred shopping mall?
Ten points if you can guess how I arrived at this ^^ picture!
I've probably mystery shopped 95% of the mall stores of which you've heard, and I've probably been in the other 5% of mall stores of my own volition. Oh, I know! I've never been inside the smoke shop. A store just for tobacky? Kill me now Count me out!
What kind of store would you most welcome in your preferred shopping mall?
My ideal mall doesn't exist, but if it did, it would be unrecognizable as a mall. I don't know what kind of person I am, to give you an easy label, but generally speaking, if it fits in at a regular mall, I probably wouldn't go there.
What did you most recently purchase at an office supply store?
Office supplies. "That's kind of a 'duh'!" as my older daughter would say. (But it was probably printer ink. I go through a lot of it.)
What did you most recently purchase at a book store?
Well, I won't "duh" you and say it was a book. I'll tell you: it was an SAT study book, thick as anything and full of potential, for Hubs. Then he got sick, and, well, that $30 book is probably never going to get used now. You want it?
What did you most recently purchase at a drugstore?
Drugs, duh!
Last night, when we were in Key West, I got hungry. I went into the Walgreens there and got some Pepperidge Farm Goldfish crackers. I knew I wouldn't eat them all, and I wanted to get something I knew the kids would enjoy.
What did you most recently purchase at a convenience store?
That's my home-away-from-home, I swear. I'm currently re-addicted to caffeine and diet soda. For $2.66, I can get an enormous 52-oz bucket cup refill and four yummy mozarella sticks with marinara dipping sauce. I get some every day, sometimes a half-dozen times. Today though, after Key West, I'm poor, so I just got the 99¢ soda refill on my way home from church.
What did you most recently purchase at a thrift shop?
Hey looky, I made it through a Sunday Stealing images post without a "KEEP CALM AND..." picture! You're proud of me, I know.
Hmm. I love thrift shops. I'm currently looking for a cool, matched-or-not set of chairs to replace the ones that we currently don't have. Huh? you say. We have two or three wooden ones at our table for six, but I don't know what happened to the rest when we moved. We currently use folding chairs from the card table set, and I'm super tired of that.

Thanks for stopping by, y'all!
