I saw this meme at Michele's blog and loved it. I stole it totally without her permission.
1. You have 10 dollars and need to buy snacks at a gas station. What do you get?
Oh my God, 10 dollars is a fortune at a gas station! Let's see, there's zebra cakes and chocolate chip cookies, Swiss cake rolls and oatmeal cookie. Then, you gotta get the salty - Pringle's chips or Cheetos. And a coke, of course.
2. If you were reincarnated as a sea creature, what would you want to be?
A mermaid! (Aside - Supergirl told me the other day that she's been praying that God will turn her into a mermaid. Good luck with that one, honey!)
3. Who’s your favorite redhead?
My (former) self! Why won't my red hair come back to me?
4. What do you order when you’re at IHOP?
Ooh, Cinnastacks! Pancakes with cinnamon and creme.
5. Last book you read?
The Breakdown Lane by Jacqueline Mitchard. It was very good. It's about a woman whose husband abandons her with three children. After he leaves, she find out that she has multiple sclerosis. It's cheerful!

Happy/ bored
7. Describe the last time you were injured.
I really can't think of one. Guess it's been a while.
8. Of all your friends, who would you want to be stuck in a well with?
Stuck in a well, huh? That doesn't sound like fun, and if I have to have another person in there with me, there isn't going to be much space. But I'll say Kelly, because she's always a good time.
9. Rock concert or symphony?
Oh my God, rock concert, all the way. I hate the symphony.
10. What is the wallpaper of your cell phone?
Um...whatever it came with. I have no clue.

Black and white striped button down. (I'm at work - what did you expect?)
13. If you could only use one form of transportation?
My beloved Honda Civic.
14. Most recent movie you have watched in theater?
Sex and the City - but I told you that on Monday. Before that, it was Iron Man. I loved both of them.

Oh, that brings back happy memories of gymnastics when I was a kid. No, no photos though.
26. Do you like running long distances?
I think I would like running if I ever got into it. I like the idea of running a lot. It's the actual, sweaty miserable reality of running that I can't deal with.

Cheetos
28. What color are your bedsheets?
green

I don't know exactly, but probably low 80's. Much, much better than the 100 degree days were having a couple weeks ago.
35. Do people consider you smart?
Yes - actually, people consider me "that weird smart girl" who talks about books and things they don't understand. I'm not that smart, though.
36. On what occasions do you lie?
Very few. I guess I occasionally lie to the children, but hell, who doesn't? That's a time-honored tradition, right?
37. Are you signed on [to] AIM?
nope
38. Have you ever tried gluing your fingers together?
No, but I sort of on purpose stapled my finger about a month ago. C'mon, I can't be the only one who feels tempted to stick their finger in the stapler and try to see how far you can push it down before it staples you, can I?
*crickets*
Well, maybe I can.

Conflicted, but you all know that. My dad and I are close, though.

Bonus content: Here is a link for an awesome new book, written by lots and lots of bloggers. A large portion of the proceeds from the book will go to Warchild International, a network of independent organisations, working across the world to help children affected by war. My friend Hotfessional has an entry in the book! I can't wait to read it.

Well Done!! I forgot about red Velvet cake, I may need to edit my list. And I LOVE Steel Magnolias!
And the co-worker thing, would probably have made me vomit the butterflies. I hated doing "manager-stuff" back when I was a manager.
Thanks Michele!
LOL! Red velvet cake is THE BEST. And Steel Magnolias is one of my all-time favorites.
The co-worker thing was more peer-to-peer than manager, but I was criticizing a process that he and (new)Boss have put in place. But last week, they drug their feet and missed a deadline. So I had to say something. But I treaded lightly, for sure!
I don't know why, but I still love gummy candy. And Cheetos, but only the crunchy ones. I don't have any passion for the puffed.
jmc - And now I want some gummy worms. Or gummy bears, after they've been in the freezer. And yes, only crunchy Cheetos are acceptable. The puffy ones are nasty. I asked Rock to get me some Cheetos at the store one day and didn't specify which kind, but I said, "The cheese that goes CRUNCH!". He said the only reason he knew I wanted the crunchy ones instead of the puffy ones is because I said that!
Oh, I know ever line to Steel Magnolias, too! "...take a wack at Weeza[er]!"
