what does it mean? I'll go with Patty's definition!
1. Are you a morning person or an evening person? Morning person (once I've had a cup of coffee inserted in my bloodstream) Describe the first half hour of your typical morning. Sort laundry, put a load into the washer, boot up the computer, make Dh's lunch and then breakfast and my much needed cup of morning coffee. Describe the half hour before you turn off the lights for the night. I'm usually reading, watching TV or waking up out of the recliner to go to bed. Do your week day and weekend, morning and evening, routines change at your house? Routines are about the same although on a Saturday morning just a slower pace.
2. Hurry up and wait – this is one of my many personal pet peeves (LOL), “why is everyone in such a hurry?” – So, do you think you are a patient person? Yes, although it bugs my family at times. How long will you wait at a service counter / check out line to be helped? Till I get the help I need. How long will you hold on the phone for assistance? I just wait for the next available representative-who wants to wait a second time? Is there something that really tests your patience? Voice mail systems with endless amount of menus, press 1, press 2 and the voice activated ones really test my patience since they never understand me or send me someplace I don't want to go! How do you react to people who are loud and rude while openly demonstrating their impatience? Not very patient with them especially when someone is truly trying to help them. I usually express my sympathy to the person for having to tolerate that person.
3. On the average week – how many meals do you eat out (at a restaurant or take-out)? One-Friday night-pizza night and a special bone night for Otto! He loves to see that take out box come in the door.
4. Name three of your favorite clothing stores. Ann Taylor Loft, NY & Company, Gap
5. Just stuff:
What is your current price for gas? Just paid $4.25 this evening . Do you know the unemployment rate for your area? No, just lots of it What are the front page headlines in your newspaper this morning? LI Military Families-When Fear Hits Home, LIRR wants Another 5% Hike, Why Rudy's Son is Suing Duke & Scam Busted at 2 LI Car Dealers. What was the last thing you watched on television? Rate My Space on HGTV. What was the last store you were in? Corning Outlet Store. Give us a weather report for today temp high / low - sunny / cloudy? Heavy Rain in morning, clearing skies, lowering humidity w/highs in the 70's
Thanks Karen! Hope you and DD have a great shopping trip! Love the recipes!
1. Are you a morning person or an evening person? Describe the first half hour of your typical morning. Describe the half hour before you turn off the lights for the night. Do your week day and weekend, morning and evening, routines change at your house? Morning person, hands down. I start the day online, sipping a Diet Coke and scanning all my favorite sites. At night, I usually read in bed for a little while. Weekdays and weekends are pretty much the same.

I am patient in some circumstances but not others. If there's a long checkout line at the grocery, for example, I'll just hang out and look at magazines until it's my turn. I don't mind being on hold too much, either, since I can always do other things. In traffic jams, however, I can turn into a crabby, cursing lunatic. Not sure why, although it might be a control thing, i.e., I could leave the store or hang up the phone if I really wanted to, but I can't get out of the traffic jam until it clears.
3. On the average week – how many meals do you eat out (at a restaurant or take-out)?
Hmm, I'd say about four -- three lunches and one dinner.
4. Name three of your favorite clothing stores.
Penney's, Macy's, and Ann Taylor Loft.
5. What is your current price for gas? Do you know the unemployment rate for your area? What are the front page headlines in your newspaper this morning? What was the last thing you watched on television? What was the last store you were in? Give us a weather report for today temp high / low - sunny / cloudy?
Gas was $4.35 last time I filled up. As for the unemployment rate, it's 8.5% in my state (Michigan), which I think is the worst in the country. Front page headline today is "Ford's strategy for survival." As for TV, the last thing I watched was last night's "Daily Show." The last store I visited was the corner wine shop -- needed some cabernet sauvignon for my dinner last night! As to the weather, today looks gorgeous with a forecast of sunny and 87. Yippee!
