1. What’s the recipe for your favorite drink? (smoothie, alcoholic, coffee, whatever) I don’t really make any of my favorite drinks … Water: filter through Brita, drink. Coffee: grind, brew, add a touch of cream. Wine: open, pour, drink. Anything more complicated and I’d rather pay $3.99 for someone else to make it for me.
2. What kind of razor do you use? Venus. I’ve upgraded from the old blue one to a green one with a wall suction, but I usually run those blades into the ground.
3. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character? We yearned to keep Elmo out of the house and so we have Cookie monster everything around … and a couple Elmos and an Ernie. Personally, I’m a fan of Burt (doin’ the uh uh pigeon) or Snuffy.
4. What makes the perfect salad? I’m pretty sure I’ve mastered the perfect salad: lettuce (butter lettuce, preferably) spinach, avocado, grilled onions, a small handful of wheat macaroni, goat cheese, mushrooms, carrots, tomatoes and grilled chicken that was marinated in Italian dressing. I personally don’t care much for dressings but hubby will put some extra Italian dressing on his.
5. What was your favorite subject in school? I was best at math but I hated it. Loved English but it was the only class I ever got a low grade in (D, in 10th). In college I loved my reading and writing classes, and Ethnic Cleansing (not a how-to course, I swear).
6. What’s your favorite summer tradition? Don’t really have any summer traditions. I guess my favorite thing about summer is the nightly rain and grilling out.
7. Do you suffer from seasonal allergies? How do you combat them? I used to, but I’ve gotten a lot better about them. I think it’s because I keep my nose blown, but I don’t know – I may have just grown out of them. I do get bad headaches, but Excedrin Migraine usually helps.
8. How often do you have to charge your cell phone? ha. Twice a day. I’m always on that stupid thing.
9. Do you have a bucket list? Nope. There are things that I’d like to do, but nothing I think I have to do before I die or anything. Just vague yearnings for adventure.
10. Do you have any desire to go back to school? Yes, but I don’t want to do it +work +raise kiddos, so I’m not that interested in going back now. I do miss the culture and atmosphere of college though.
for more!

Harney & Sons Paris Tea with cream and sugar - I could drink it every day it's not unbearably hot.
2. What kind of razor do you use?
My husband and I both have Gillette Mach 3 Turbos and we buy blades in bulk at Costco. We don't use each other's razors though.
3. Who is your favorite Sesame Street character?
Ernie or Nernie as my niece used to call him.
4. What makes the perfect salad?
lettuce (butter lettuce, preferably) spinach, avocado, toasted pine nuts, toasted pecans, white raisins or pear, tomatoes (sun dried or grape), goat cheese, and a light dressing like Spin's blood orange vinaigrette.
5. What was your favorite subject in school?
History
6. What’s your favorite summer tradition?
I don't have any summer traditions, but I hope to spend time outside on a deck or patio when we have a house.
7. Do you suffer from seasonal allergies?
No
8. How often do you have to charge your cell phone? ha. Twice a day. I’m always on that stupid thing.
9. Do you have a bucket list?
No. I'd like to go to Asia, Australia, and South America sometime. I'd like to take some enjoyable classes. And I'd like to settle into a house.
10. Do you have any desire to go back to school?
Yes, but I'm not sure for what. I like taking classes without worrying about a degree, but if I'm taking classes I might as well get a degree. I'd love to get a master's in anthropology, but job-wise it'd be better for me to get a CS or PM degree.
You can outgrow your allergies, so it's possible you don't have them any more.
I'm baffled at your Ethnic Cleansing class - what on earth?
Ethnic cleansing was a history class that covered several genocides over history - we covered Sudan, Chechnya, Turkey, and several others. It was very interesting, and I still have all the books from it. It was the only history class I've ever stayed awake in - Even if I find history interesting I fall asleep the moment the professor opens their mouth. This was very much a discussion class - no lectures at all.
Oops.. forgot to change:
"8. How often do you have to charge your cell phone? ha. Twice a day. I’m always on that stupid thing."
I'm lucky if I charge it once a day. I have a charger in my car, at home, and and work though, so if I forget I can charge it wherever I am. Since I've started reading books on it it uses charge a lot more.
