Random questions.

Can't sleep, so here's some random questions that I found.

Do you sleep with your closet doors open or closed?
Generally closed, but don’t have a problem if they’re left open.

Do you take the shampoos and conditioner bottles from hotel?
On occasion, but usually no.  What’s the point?

Do you sleep with your sheets tucked in or out?
I don’t sleep with a top sheet.  I have a fitted sheet and a bedspread (which is not tucked in).  If I had regular sheets on my bed, I would not tuck them in.  Don’t like it.

Have you ever stolen a street sign before?
No…but a roommate did once and we had it in the house for a few months.

Do you like to use post-it notes?
Yes.

Do you cut out coupons but then never use them?
I’ll go through spurts where I’ll clip a ton of coupons and use a few.  Then I’ll get bored with it and end up not using them.

Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of a bees?
Tough call.  I’ll take my chances with the bear.

Do you have freckles?
No.

Do you always smile for pictures?
No.  I don’t really like being in pictures either.

Sometimes I do

Yes

What about pooped in the woods?
Don’t think that I have.

That’s a big goose egg.

What size is your bed?
Tonite it’s a queen.  However, usually I sleep in a double.

Legos.  I love legos and if I hit the lottery, I think I’d buy a lot of lego sets.  I’m don’t enjoy building from a bucket of legos, but I thoroughly enjoy following the directions of one of the kits.

Are you stubborn?
Yes.  I think most people would agree with me on this one.

Afraid of heights?
To a degree.  I can do roller coasters, highrises, flying, etc.  But I hate rides where you just dangle high in the air (such as a Ferris Wheel where you dangle while people are getting on or off….actually even hated the baby ferris wheel at the local fair when I was growing up).  Funny story….my parents once bribed me with money to go on a Ferris Wheel at Hershey Park (I went, but freaked out the whole time).

Money, money, money...

No matter what I do, I cannot seem to get ahead financially.  I really hate living paycheck to paycheck, but that's how it's going to be for the foreseeable future.

I think I'm going to have to get a second job, but I'm waiting until the holidays are over before I do that.  I hope to find something where I won't have to interact with the public and/or something that's out of Chester County.  I have no problem with customer service type jobs, but I think I'd struggle with having to deal with the same people I may see in the courthouse.

Thought it was supposed to be financially easier after getting a FT job.  Though I suppose I shouldn't complain...I at least do have a job (which a lot of people don't at this point in time).  And it's a job that I really enjoy.

But more money would sure be nice ;)
