Random Dozen

I saw this Random Dozen on Christen's blog, and she got it from here. I'm sorta feeling blahgy again today but this looked fun and quick! And it was.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. When was the last time you craved a food--what was it, and did you crave?

Last week. I was craving cucumber sandwiches like my friend Molly makes. I bought some cucumbers when I was picking up some stuff I needed for Bunco and I bought a loaf of white bread (horror!) and made myself one. It hit the spot.

2. M & M's or Skittles?

Neither. I hate chocolate so I don't eat M&Ms, and I don't like Skittles either. By the way, I have FOURTEEN sugar-free days under my belt (though I did have some ketchup with my fries at FiveGuys yesterday) but that's pretty much the only sugar I've had in two weeks.

3. Have you ever read the Bible completely through?
Nope. Working on it (again) this year.

4. How long does it take you to really wake up in the morning?
Not long--just a couple of minutes. Especially since John always has the coffee ready for me.

5. Have you ever been on a cruise? If not, would you like to?
Never been on one. I think I might like it, especially if it was an Alaskan cruise. I have a few doubts though because I went on a whale watching tour a few years ago in San Diego and I felt like I was "bobbing" for about two weeks after I got home. I had something strange going on with my inner ears and it was the weirdest sensation.

6. Who is your favorite actress?
Oh wow, I don't know. I love Reese Witherspoon and Amy Adams. I also like Keri Russell and Natalie Portman. And Emma Thompson. And Maggie Gyllenhaal.

7. ______ is something that I will just never understand.
Uh, math. Or maybe physics. But seriously, I don't understand how people can not forgive.

8. How much of a technology junkie are you?

On a scale of 1-10, I'm probably a 5. I think it's all VERY cool but I don't have a lot of cool gadgets and devices. I don't mind admitting that I'm coveting the Apple tablet that has the technological world buzzing and is rumored to debut as early as next week. I covet a lot of techy stuff. I just don't have the cash to buy it all.

9. Do you enjoy selecting greeting cards for people, or is it more of a cultural "have to" for you?

I don't enjoy it at all.

10. When was the last time you got a new style/haircut?

I got my hair cut and colored (highlights) two months ago. I told John on the way to church yesterday that I need another cut, but I'm going to wait a little longer. I like to get the most bang I can for my buck so I will probably stretch my highlights a little further too. It's mainly because I'm cheap and I hate spending the money.

11. What do you enjoy shopping for most?

I just really don't like to shop. I don't mind wandering around the Apple store or Anthropologie from time to time but I rarely buy anything when I'm there.

Actually, you know what? I was in Denver yesterday and went in Jo-Ann Fabric and Crafts (the one right by your old house, Joanne!) because I needed to get some fabric to make a costume for Abbey. I think I actually like shopping for crafty stuff. I'm not a great crafter, but the craft store is a happy place for me!

12. What's the last thing you think of before you leave the house?

I have a mental checklist:

Is my CHI turned off? Do I have my purse? Do I have my list? Do I have my phone? Do I have my gloves? Is Jack in the house? Does Jack have plenty of water? Is there anything out that Jack might get into while I'm gone? Is the sliding door locked? Is the stick in the door track? Are the windows closed/locked? After my purse was stolen out of my van last year I'm super paranoid about break-ins.
