1. What music have you been listenting to recently? * My current favorite song is still Feel Good Inc by Gorillaz.

2. Name a memorable high school moment. * Graduation. ;D

3. What is the craziest food your child loves? (if no kids, what is your craziest food?) * Guacamole. I mean, really, what 2 year old can eat an entire portion of guacamole by herself?

4. What aisle do you immediately head for at the grocery? * Usually the produce area.

5. Do you think shopping at mom and pop stores is "better"? why? * Not really. I want the selections and lower prices I find at larger chains. Although having said that, I despise WalMart and the way they force their way into neighborhoods.
Bonus: weekend plans? * It's our anniversary (5 years) so we're going out to Japanese steak house tomorrow. Other than that, not much!

1. What music have you been listenting to recently?
Eva Cassidy. I'm looking for a special song for a special moment

2. Name a memorable high school moment.
Graduation: I opened my diploma as I returned to my seat, only to see a little post it note that said "Please pay the library .19cents in late fees to receive your graduation certificate." I still have that in the diploma frame

3. What is the craziest food your child loves? (if no kids, what is your craziest food?)
Technically no kids yet but he sure likes me to like chili. I on the other hand think dorritos and cottage cheese are a gourmet treat

4. What aisle do you immediately head for at the grocery?
Magazines. I'm remodeling still.

5. Do you think shopping at mom and pop stores is "better"? why?
In the city...no, I don't like them. Lack of supplies and they're always dusty as heck. In the country, Always because they're always quaint and contain things like Quince Jelly, which you can never find (nor do you ever look for) in the city.

Bonus: Weekend plans?
Patch a couple holes in the ceiling. Rewire the bedroom, clean the fireplace, paint the banister, and perhaps a wall. Build risers for the livingroom shelves.

What will I actually do? Perhaps a couple loads of laundry and sew.
