Wednesday Hodgepodge--5/4/11

1. Have you ever been served breakfast in bed? Do you enjoy that? If someone were serving you breakfast in bed this coming weekend what would you hope to see on the tray?
I have never been served breakfast in bed.  I prefer to keep crumbs out of the bed, so I would rather just eat it on the couch, I think.  If someone were to serve me breakfast in bed, I would want some Pillsbury orange sweet rolls, hashbrowns with cheese, turkey sausage, milk, and some 5-Alive juice, I think.

2. What is one piece of advice you would give a new mother?
I got nothin'.  I'm going to be a new mother in a few weeks.  Any advice for me?

3. When was the last time you wanted to scream? Explain.
The last time they bagged my groceries in paper instead of plastic at the commissary.  Seriously, they have done it twice in the last few weeks.  Both times, it absolutely RUINED my entire day.

4. Can you hula hoop?
Right now?  Probably not.  Pre-pregnancy, I could.

5. What is something people do in traffic that really bothers you?
I could write a dissertation about this, but I won't.  We have A LOT of traffic in this area.  All the time.  The biggest thing that bothers me is when people are impatient and feel that they MUST have a more urgent need to get where they are going than all of the other people waiting in traffic.  A couple of months ago, I was waiting to turn left out of my apartment complex.  The intersection behind the complex is pretty busy, and there isn't a light.  In the evenings, it can take a while.  Some guy didn't want to wait behind the other 4 cars to turn left, so he got in the right turn lane, then pulled out to turn left as I was turning left, nearly causing an accident.  I waved a special finger at him.

6. What do you do when people don't admit they're wrong?
If it's a work situation--like someone who works for me did something and they won't just say "yeah, I'm jacked up," and instead they decide to make up an excuse--I'll tell them they're full of shit and I know it. 

If it's a personal disagreement, I'll argue my point, and eventually just drop it if they're really sticking to their guns.  Then I'll bring the issue to my circle of friends and we will mock them behind their back for being so stupid (in some cases).

7. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word 'fun'?
Any activity with someone who makes me laugh.  It doesn't really matter what I'm doing--if I'm laughing, I'm having fun.

8. The rain from the Midwest has finally reached the East Coast...somehow, I don't think it will do quite the same amount of damage out here. I suppose I shouldn't speak too soon, though.
