Ten on Tuesday

1. What is the weather like in your city today?
beautifully cool in the mornings, extremely warm in the afternoons. It's beautifully, really. I wish it stayed like this all year, but unfortunately we are the brink of the unbearably hot.

2. Do you like the zoo?
I'm rather indifferent. I like animals, but checking them out in their unnatural habitat doesn't really appeal to me. I do like how kids react to animals though.

3. Do you eat coconut? I love coconut, but I don't seek it out. Macaroons, yummy, coconut ice cream - delightful. Coconut chicken curry - Mmmm. Okay, so maybe I just like food and coconut is a food and that's just happy time.

4. Have you ever hammered a nail? Are you good at it? Sure, hasn't everyone? I'm not particularly good at it but I think that's because I'm short and I don't take the time to get a stool so I am properly holding said nail, because I often bend the nail rather than pound the sucker in the wall.

5. Does your family have a vacation destination that you visit often? ha! vacation? no, not really. My husband and I used to frequent Charleston because it had great parks to camp in and we loved the city. I think we went 4 times in 2 years, but we haven't been in a good number of years.

6. How many pillows do you sleep with? There are 11 pillows on my bed, but I throw all of mine off the bed and sleep with a small tubular neck pillow only. Hubby uses two. The rest of them hit the floor.

7. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up? If the alarm wakes me up, I get up, walk across the room to the alarm clock (there's a reason it's not within reaching distance) and hit the snooze. Rinse and repeat. If Spencer wakes me up I say, "Go to the bathroom" with my eyes closed still, and then I roll over and wait for my alarm to go off. So I can get up, cross the room and hit the snooze. Rinse and repeat.

8. Will you send your kids to summer camp? Eventually, maybe. I went to a daycamp every summer until I was 12 because my mom worked full time, and I loved it. Right now we're still in daycare so there's no point.

9. What do you put in your baked potatoes? In the rare event that I order them, butter and sour cream, but honestly I'd rather have broccoli.

10. Did you take swimming lessons as a kid? I did, but it didn't really help. I can tread water and float like a champ but I'm not that great at actually getting from Point A to Point B. I doggie paddle. No lie.
