Quiz show

I always enjoy when my fellow bloggers answer "get to know me" quizzes. It's been awhile since I've done a quiz myself. A few weeks ago, I had fun reading Kelly's Q&A where she answered 40 questions. Today I'm going to pick and choose a few from her post (in semi-random order) that I don't think I've ever addressed before.

Do you eat blue cheese?

In general, I'm an equal-opportunity cheese eater - so yes. I would put other varieties of cheese higher on the list, though. That aside, I do love the classic salad combo of greens, candied nuts, some type of fruit, and a stinky cheese.

Source and recipe

Can you whistle?

No. Not even close. On a related note, I think it's fascinating when folks can whistle through their teeth. How do they do that???

Do you get nervous before a doctor's appointment?

When I'm in the waiting room, no. I do get a little jittery when getting weighed and while having my blood pressure taken. The worst moments for me are when I'm wearing the ever-so-stylish robe and awkwardly sitting in the exam room waiting for the doctor to come in. Once the appointment actually begins, it's all good.

How many televisions do you have?

Two. The primary TV is in the living room, and we have another one in the second bedroom/den. Generally the only time the second TV gets used is when the Blackhawks and Penguins are playing at the same time (not against each other). Adam will watch the Penguins on one TV and I'll watch the Blackhawks on the other.

What do you think of hot dogs?

I like them, but I rarely eat them since they aren't healthy. Sigh.

Do you do push-ups?

I try to avoid push-ups as much as possible.

Favorite girl's and boy's names?

I love the name Grace, and it's a tossup for me between Albert and Wesley.

Do you have ADD?

No, although my attention span is definitely shorter than it used to be. I think the two office statistics listed below are very realistic.

What is one thing you dislike about yourself?

I'm very thin-skinned. I have a tough time with constructive criticism and I always take things personally.

What's in your pocket right now?
As I type this, I'm wearing pajama pants which don't have pockets.

Do you own slippers?

No. At home, I am comfortable being barefoot in the summertime, or just wearing socks during cooler seasons. Adam has slippers, though, and he loves them. Maybe it's time for me to invest in a pair of my own?

Worst injury you've ever had?

I don't know if you'd call it an injury, but I had to have four teeth extracted for orthodontic purposes. I only received local anesthesia, so I was awake during the procedure. It was a very uncomfortable few days afterwards.

Side note: I also had four wisdom teeth extracted as a teenager. It blows my mind that I've had a total of eight teeth removed. I think the human body is a miraculous thing, but my dental composition definitely left something to be desired!

Favorite flavor of ice cream?

Rocky Road, but I'll happily eat anything chocolate-themed - especially mint chocolate. I am also a huge fan of pistachio and green tea. Apparently I have an affinity for green-hued ice cream.

How do you ring in the New Year?

It's different every year - sometimes by going out on the town, sometimes by going to a friend's, sometimes staying home and chilling on the couch. The last few years I've had to work on New Year's Day, which has put a damper on any celebrations. This year, I am thrilled that I'll actually get to enjoy the holiday. Cue the Auld Lang Syne!!!

Favorite month?

For weather conditions, September. For festivity, July is my favorite because it is the middle of the summer, and it includes Independence Day plus my birthday. 

Celebrate good times!

Now it's your turn. I'd love to hear your responses to any of these questions!
