The Blonde Diaries

I found this “quiz” over on Samantha’s blog -> Simply Samantha.  Check it out when you have a chance.  I love quizzes and this one was no different.  So without further ado, I am going to share with you some of my favorite things.

I was catching up on Twitter today and saw The Crazy Book Slut asking the question: What book are you? I love fun quizzes and couldn’t pass this one up.  So off I went to try the quiz myself as well as to see what was going on over on her blog now that I have a library card and unlimited access to free books!  I found that I am a mystery book.  Kind of funny since I don’t read mystery books.

You Are Mystery

You are a natural problem solver. You like figuring out the best way to do something. You are very intuitive. You are good at picking up on people’s moods and predicting the future. You can’t help but being a bit of a detective and a snoop. You always want to know what’s going on. And while you may have the scoop on everyone you know, you’re not a gossip. You’re a pro at keeping secrets.

Manic Monday is a meme that is done every Monday of course and usually asks a few questions that you are to answer in your own post. This meme is hosted on an appropriately named blog Manic Monday Meme.  It has been a few weeks since I have played but I am looking forward to starting up again and seeing what questions we have coming.

This week’s questions:

Would you rather go a week without bathing, but be able to change your clothes, or a week without a change of clothes, but be able to bathe? I would rather a week without changing clothes but able to bathe.  I couldn’t imagine how smelly I would be and how nasty my hair would be if I changed clothes but didn’t bathe.  I don’t think the new clothes would mask anything.  Both are gross but I’ll bathe and just try to keep the clothes clean.

If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose? How I Met Your Mother.  It is the closest thing to real life right now – friends getting together and sharing dating stories.  The characters all seem like people I’d want to be friends with and their problems aren’t too terrible to deal with on a regular basis.  I think I could live a month with them.

Seems like it’s another week of better late than never.  The whole eye thing threw me off as I was up and ready to post this morning but with it bugging me and my appointment not being till 1pm I thought the easiest way to deal with it would be to go back to bed until time to go to the doctor.  Then it was cleaning, doing laundry, cooking, and then battling the eye drops.  So here I am finally ready to do my Manic Monday Meme post.

How old were you when you learned to tie your shoes?  I don’t remember.  I know it was before I went to Kindergarten as I wanted shoes with laces to wear.

Have you ever snooped in somebody else’s medicine cabinet? No.  I have never known anyone to have a medicine cabinet that they actually use to keep medicine in.  I know in my family we use the kitchen cabinet to keep our medicines in to remember to take when we eat.

Who do you think you are? This is an odd question when you first read it.  I actually had to peak at what others said to figure out what I wanted to say.  I tend to cheat like that

I guess I could say I’m a million different things but when it comes down to it I’m just a 27 year old girl who enjoys spending time with her family and friends.

I missed last week’s meme but I liked the questions so I decided to add it to this week’s edition and answer them too!

May 4, 2009 Questions:

Which household chore do you dislike the most? Cleaning the bathroom.  I detest it so much that I only do it once a month and I think that makes it even worse.

What’s the best museum you’ve ever visited? I enjoyed the Smithsonian museums that I visited in high school.  I also really like the Oil and Gas museum here in Houston.  It is very informative.

It’s Star Wars Day today. I’ve never seen any of the Star Wars movies. What “common” movies haven’t you seen? I’ve never seen The Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink, and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

April 27, 2009 Questions:

What’s the best summer job you ever had? I actually only had 1 summer job growing up.  It lasted from the time I was 16 until 22.  I worked at the local batting cages and it was pretty fun.

Tell me about the worst date you ever went on. That would have to be senior prom.  It was a blind date because my mom wouldn’t let me miss my prom again (I had no qualms with that) so I was set up with a guy I had never met before.  It didn’t turn out too well.

Do you think the age for a driver’s license should be raised (currently 16 here in the U.S.)? No.  I think it is fine.  I think you have to learn at some point and while under adult supervision is probably best.  I think driver’s education should be a requirement as well as having the learner’s permit for 3-6 months before getting a full license.  I actually got my license at 15 and I think I turned out fairly well for a driver.  There is always continuous learning and improvements to be made by everyone.
