The very lovely and delicious Shelli at Market My Words has tagged me. What she didn't realize when she sent this lovely little survey my way is that I am an Expert Survey Master, a Ninja Survey Taker, if you will.
Just ask Katie. She said I am the only person whose surveys she would ever read on Facebook. I also take it as a great compliment that my CPA told me she loved my surveys.
And she likes numbers and such.
So, here we go, kids:
Available or in a relationship?
I am technically in a relationship, however, Mr. J is well aware that I will be trying to snag Justin Timberlake this weekend at the Shriner's golf tournament named after him. While my plan failed last year, I have a new playbook, that's all I'm saying and word on the street is things are strained with Jess.
It is on.
Best friend?
My husband. He's pretty dope. Then it is my Trifecta - Mags and Amie.
Cake or Pie?
Pie, please. With ice cream and flaky crust. Cherry, apple, whatever. Just don't try to eat any or I will fork you.
Drink of choice?
Water. I know, I know. How boring. If you twist my arm I can be forced to drink tequila. And, when I do Mags says, "Oh, good. You're a comedienne on tequila." Then I tell one of her secrets and suddenly Mags doesn't think my jokes are so funny anymore.
Essential item for everyday use?
Concealer. I would hate for you to fall into my bags and twist an ankle or something. Can I pick a second? Mascara. If I don't use it I look like Powder.
Favorite color?
Who cares? Can a MAC Christmas line be a color?
Google?
Yes, please. Bing is for wannabes.
Hometown?
Tampa, Florida. Step or I'll cut you.
Indulgences?
Spa days, stilettos and those adorable little purse orphans I save from Nordstrom. I'd hate for them to go without a home.
January or February?
If my husband remembers Valentine's then February. If not, January. Oddly, the griping and emailed lists of restaurants and baubles seem to fall off his calendar. He doesn't even get it when every year I write "Happy VD" on his card.
Kids and their names?
Toby (canine) - 3, Ginger (canine) - 4 and Mr. J (human) - 33.
Life is incomplete without?
My family.
Marriage date?
Which one? Ha. Um, ok. April 28, 2007.
Number of siblings.
1 - Jenn (Purple Clover). Although, we're not sure she's biologically my sister. I think I have her convinced our mother had an affair. At least that's what I told her since she was three.
Oranges or apples?
Oranges. I'm from Florida. Apples are for girls.
Phobias and fears?
Death and wrinkles. Oh, and my friend Toni told me when I was 12 that your vagina falls out when you turn 70. I really hope that only happened to her grandmother.
Quote for the day?
I have to share my two favorites:
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars..." - Jack Kerouac
"What does this have to do with tanning?" - Jeff from Sunset Tan
"What does this have to do with tanning?" - Jeff from Sunset Tan
Reason to smile?
I had two Pearfection martinis tonight. I can't not smile. Oh, and I talked to Lisa of LiLa fame for the first time tonight and I adore her even more than I did before. I am trying to wheedle my way into their family.
Season?
Winter. I love to ski. Well, now I do. I have to say that winter is so much better now that I don't slide down half the mountain on the side of my face.
If you were to do your own TV show (I think that was the question - it looks funky)?
Glee or Fame. In the show I would magically have talent and sparkly eyes. Oh, and tights like Leroy Johnson.
Unknown fact about me?
Is there one? I think you guys pretty much know everything about me and I'm not sure if that is a good or bad thing. Oh, here you go - when the ladies at work tell me how nice I look with my hair in a chignon I smile because I know the real truth. I didn't feel like washing my greasy hair and if they took it down they'd probably run screaming. When in doubt - tease.
Vegetable you hate?
Lima beans.
Worst habit?
My husband says "shopping." He's silly. I am rescuing merchandise. Mine? I can't stand that I crinkle my brow when I think hence creating forehead wrinkles.
X-Rays you've had?
All of them.
Your favorite food?
All of them. I hate these questions! I am very diverse in my taste.
Zodiac?
Aries. I'm a fire sign, bitches!
Ok, so now tag you're it Sarah With a Chance. Answer my questions!
Or else.
A fellow Aries, I thought I recognized a little somethin' somethin'. You truly are the master, I bow to your superior survey-taking skills!
ReplyDeleteOh, and for the record: Apples. I'm from Washington, it's the law.
Awesome blog post oh ninja master. I have one thing to say to you
ReplyDelete"Wa Taaaa!!"
Awesome! I love getting to know more about my bloggy friends. :)
ReplyDeleteUm, how the heck am I supposed to live up to this fabulosity??
ReplyDeleteI love that you "rescue" merchandise. Sometimes I forget about all the danger they face, sitting along those aisles, being touched all over by so many strangers. It's a hard life.
I also just finished reading about your failed Justin Timberlake plan. Listen, I love JT as much as the next girl (from way back in the N'Sync where he wore bright and awful fashions that matched his hair color) but I think you've done better. Yes, I said it. I mean, JT and Jessica just broke up. Unless he was anticipating meeting you and falling madly in love, I'm tempted to believe that he jumps out of relationships just as girls start to mention the "m" word. Marriage, I mean.
So the moral of this novel-length comment? If JT makes a pass at you, send him my way.
You are a ninja survey taker, I always LMAO at your responses...haven't seen one in awhile though. "Purse ophans" and "rescue merchandise" brilliant! I'll have to steal these...
ReplyDeleteWow, you're like the Mr. Miyagi of surveys. Should I wax or wax off Sensei?
ReplyDeleteIt was absolutely fabulous to chat live last night. I stand by the fact that we are going to totally ROCK whatever writer's conference we end up attending. I think your commentary on tequila was my favorite. It's all fun and games until someone spills the beans.
And for the record, you know you're already an honorary Roecker, right? Of course, it's a mixed blessing....on one hand there's the free babysitting, the open door policy and (most importantly) the well stocked fridge. The downside? They never forget anything. Particularly humiliating dance routines.

ReplyDelete(I just want to make sure you know JT won't actually be playing Sunday like the ProAm on Wednesdays, so you might have to get a spy to track him around the course...although he probably will be handing out the award at the clubhouse, so you might have to pop back there a few times to scout...but I'm sure you already know this since you've had like a year to plan - HA!)
ReplyDeleteDude. You have mad survey skills. There are very few people who's survey's I will actually read. Yours are one of them. Mainly because I'm sure I'll get a mention. HA! But seriously, you have a way with words. :)
ReplyDeleteLove you!
Oooooh, another Floridian! I love oranges, and apples really are for girly girls.
ReplyDeleteAries will rule the world.
You are a saint for rescuing all that merchandise. We should name you the next Mother Teresa.
And I still haven't mastered the hair tease.
Yes, survey ninja.
ReplyDeleteI share your love of concealer--this might be one of my three items that I'm allowed to take when I'm stranded on a desert island.
You can have the all the pie if you let me take the cake.
sf
I am totally coming back. I only got as far as Powder before I laughed out loud remembering that movie that perhaps only 2 people saw... you and me. Now I have to wake up kids. Durn. BACK LATER!
ReplyDeleteWoke up girls and ran back. *shaking head at how sick it is that I love your "mad surveys so much*
ReplyDeleteHere's why. For some reason, your survey answers are so honest and wonderful that I feel like I've just been chatting it up with you at some cool bar. In fact, at the uber fab conference we all go to, I propose we all survey each othah.
