I was reading Katie J's blog and she did a Q&A. I decided to play and copied the questions to my blog to answer.
1. Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Closed. When I am trying to sleep, open closet doors creep me out.
2. Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotels?
I take them. They are provided to the guests for their use, so I snag those suckers. :D
3. Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
Out. I need complete freedom of movement.
4. Would you rather be attacked by a bear or a swarm of bees?
A bear. I stand a better chance, since I am allergic to bee stings.
5. Do you have freckles?
No. A few sun spots, but no real freckles.
6. What is your biggest pet peeve?
Rude behaviour. Would it kill people to use a modicum of courtesy in their dealings with others?
7. Have you ever peed in the woods?
Yes, I have. Many times. lolol
8. Do you ever dance if there’s no music playing?
Yes, as long as I am alone.

Ew! Gross!!! No! Never!
10. Is it ok for guys to wear pink?
Absolutely.
11. What do you dip a chicken nugget in?
Hot mustard, baby!
12. What is your favorite food?
Chinese food.
13. What movies could you watch over and over and still love?
Gone With the Wind, Always, Star Trek, Down Periscope. (Oh, shut up! lolol)

Occasionally.
19. When you were a kid, what did you dress up as for Halloween?

21. Who is better…Leno or Letterman?
Letterman.
22. Do you sing in the car?
Doesn't everyone? It's the only place besides the shower I dare sing. I got sick of being classified as noise pollution.
23. Ever eat a pierogi?
A what???
24. First concert?
Alabama. Which still confounds me, since I have no love for Country music.
25. Where would you be able to spend hours and be happy?
On a cold, wild, deserted beach with a book, a camera and a huge Thermos of coffee.
Then I could add peeing on a beach to my list of accomplishments. ;) lol

Caturday
Hello gentle readers I hope that you are all having a terrific weekend.
So, yesterday wasn't a total blowout and I didn't do as much damage as I feared. I landed in under 1800 calories, which, at my weight isn't a big deal. But the fact that I allowed myself to slip into disordered thinking and eating, if only briefly, is. But I am learning from my mistakes and I hope that in the future, I will be even less likely to do something to harm myself. :)
It is a lovely day, here. It is going to be hot. Today's high is supposed to be 94 degrees. I suspect it might end up going a bit higher. We are now officially into air conditioning season and the lovely electric bills that go with it. APS charges a fortune for electricity in this state and in the Summer, they jack up the rates. It sucks and if I had another choice for power, I would go for it. Unfortunately I am stuck with these wallet draining vampires.
Well, I need to get some breakfast and get into the shower. I'll be back later to read blogs and perhaps yap at you a bit more.

Salty, Crunchy Things
Still trigger me, as I learned much to my dismay earlier, today.
Husband brought home a bag of cheesy puff balls. I ate a few. Then a few more and before I knew it... I had downed the whole bag. *sigh* I knew better but I made the choice. I would have been better off with a bowl of popcorn.
It isn't the calories (480 for the bag) that bother me so much as the fact that I allowed myself to slip back into an old, harmful habit. I didn't stop at enough. I went for the whole bag. So, I am thinking that I need more work on dealing with trigger foods. I am doing fine with the sweets. The salty, crunchy stuff in bags is definitely a hurdle. One I will clear. I just need to work at it, think through what I am doing and why and reason out how to deal with it. I'll get there. Until then, salty, crunchy things need to not inhabit my home on a regular basis.
I am gulping water and Crystal light and coffee to flush the salt rush. Blech! My tummy isn't happy. I can still taste those dreadful little puffs in the back of my throat. Hours and hours later. I hate that. It is like a constant reminder of my being an idiot. lol But maybe the reminder is a good thing. Perhaps it will help to teach me that I don't want to do this. That it is just a bad pattern that I need to allow to break for good.
Today, I sucketh. lol

BYOC Friday
Draz has a new set of questions for us crazies. I thought that I would answer them, this week. :D
1. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be? And why?
That's an easy one. On the ocean. Preferably the Pacific. It doesn't really matter if it is California, Oregon or Washington or even Hawaii. The ocean speaks to me. It pulls me. I don't know what it is but I feel such peace, power and utter contentment when I am on the shore.
2. How old were you when you got drunk for the first time?
Another easy one. I was nineteen. It was my Birthday and a couple of friends took me out and got me plastered. We drank, danced, flirted with boys and then wound up the night by going to one friend's mom"s house, raided her t.p. stash and t.p.'d our boss's house, yard, trees and driveway and cars. And did we ever do a thorough job! He said, later that he got up that morning and actually thought it had snowed. In Phoenix. lolol
For the record, the getting of me drunk was perfectly legal. I turned nineteen in November of the last year that was the legal drinking age in Arizona.
3. What was your favourite toy growing up?
My Wonder horse! It was a big, plastic horse mounted on springs on a tubular metal frame. I loved that horse. I got so much fun and joy out of that simple, uncomplicated toy.
4. What's your favourite season? And why?
Autumn. I love Autumn. The leaves turning, the temps getting cool and crisp. The feeling and smell in the air. Ripe, red apples and fat, orange pumpkins. Hallowe'en and the anticipation of Thanksgiving and Christmas. Evenings and early mornings by the fire. I could go on and on. :D
5. Repeat question... What blog or blog comment spoke to you or stuck with you the most, this week.
Actually, a couple come to mind. These gals are struggling so much, not just with their diet but with life and everything that is coming down on them and I just want to scoop them up and Help them. And I can't and that frustrates me and I just cry, instead. I read their blogs and I want to comment. I click the comment button and sit there, mind blank while my cursor blinks at me and I just can't form a proper response. I am so lame.
So, there you have it. My Friday Crazy. :D
