Domestic Geek

1. How many houses/apartments have you lived in throughout your life?
I've lived in 17 different places. Actually 16, but our current home has been in two different places. A lot of those were various dorms and houses I lived in during college.

2. Which was your favorite and why?
So far my house now is my favorite. It's the first place I've truly felt at home since I moved out of my parents' house. It's pretty snazzy for a mobile home. I've even got a jacuzzi tub in my master bath.

3. Do you find moving house more exciting or stressful? Why?
Stressful. I hate not being able to find my stuff and packing is a pain in the butt.

4. What's more important, location or price?
I wish I could say location, but price is always the major factor that determined where we have lived.

5. What features does your dream house have (pool, spa bath, big yard, etc.)?
I want a house with a walk-out basement and a huge yard (acreage) where I can garden. I also want a hot tub and/or pool. I also want a gas fireplace in the master bedroom and french doors that lead out to a balcony.

1. What was the last song you heard?
Jimmy Eat World - "The Middle"
It was the last song on the radio when I turned off the car.

2. What were the last two movies you saw?
"Shanghai Knights" and "The Family Man"

3. What were the last three things you purchased?
A bag of Chex Mix from the school vending machine, a couple of bottles of Coke at 7-11 and some scrapbooking supplies.

4. What four things do you need to do this weekend?
(1) Work
(2) Finish painting the craft room
(3) Taxes
(4) Clean off my desk

5. Who are the last five people you talked to?
Four coworkers and a customer.

1. Bacon or sausage?
Bacon
2. Eggs: scrambled or not?
It depends. If they're scrambled they've got to have cheese, garlic, parsley, maybe some bacon bits. I love dressed up scrabled eggs. Otherwise, eggs over easy is how I usually prepare them.
3. French toast or regular toast?
French toast.
4. Pancakes or waffles?
Both!
5. Muffins or bagels?
Depends on the type. I absolutely LOVE blueberry muffins and my bagel has got to have sesame seeds on it.
6. Coffee or tea?
Tea. I used to love a good cup of coffee, but now about the only coffee I like are Starbucks Mocha Frappacinos or coffee ice cream.
7. Juice: orange or grapefruit?
Orange - I absolutely HATE grapefuit juice.
8. Hot or cold cereal?
I really love a big bowl of warm oatmeal.
9. To put in cereal: bananas or strawberries (or some other fruit)?
Strawberries are yummy. I like raisins in cereal, also.
10. Eat breakfast at home or at a restaurant?
I love eating breakfast out, especially at a buffet place.

Man, I haven't gotten to do one of these in ages.



1. What did you have for breakfast this morning? If you didn't have breakfast, why not?
I had oatmal with raisins.

2. What's your favorite cereal?
Oatmeal Crisp Raisin

3. How often do you eat out? Do you want that to change?
Not near enough. I haven't been out to eat (except fast food) in weeks. I would really like to do it once a week.

4. What do you plan on having for dinner tonight? Got a recipe for that?
Dinner tonight will probably be leftover pizza at work.

5. What's your favorite restaurant? Why?
I LOVE steakhouses like Hops. I love steak, 'nuff said. Red Lobster is pretty cool, too, though.

1. Do you have a car? If so, what kind of car is it?
Yes, I'm driving a 1995 Subaru Legacy. I LOVE THIS CAR! It's green (my favorite color), all wheel drive. The only thing that would make it better is if it was a stick instead of an automatic.

2. Do you drive very often?
Unfortunately, yes. I live 50 miles from town and have to go there everyday. I put approximately 1000 miles on the old car every week.

3. What's your dream car?
I want a Hummer more than anything (and get your minds out of the gutter!). Subaru is also coming out with a sport truck called a Baja here in September that is slightly reminiscent of the old Brats they used to produce. That WILL be my next vehicle.

4. Have you ever received a ticket?
Yes, several. My record is clean now, though. It's hard to be a pizza driver and not receive tickets. The only ticket I've had that I disagreed with was the one that I got for an accident I was in.

5. Have you ever been in an accident?
Unfortunatley, a couple of them. They both occurred while I had my brown Nissan 4x4 truck. While I don't consider them to be my fault, technically (according to the police) one was. Both were the result of people running red lights. The one that was considered to be my fault was I was making a left turn and no witnesses stuck around (rush hour traffic on a Friday night) to back up my claim that they guy ran the light.
