1) You and a small group of coworkers are going out after work to celebrate finally completing a big project. How would you prefer to spend the evening? Margaritas at a nearby bar. After a couple drinks, I would slip out and go home.
2) You're in line at the grocery store and the checker is so slow. How do you respond? I check out the tabloids.
3) You have a job interview tomorrow. Do you decide what to wear before you go to bed tonight or will you put something together in the morning? The night before.
4) Does shopping make you feel better when you're stressed? If yes, what do you like to buy? Yes. I enjoy retail therapy. Especially for handbags or fragrance.
5) Does eating cheer you up when you're blue? If yes, what's your favorite comfort food? Yes. I lean to noodles -- mac and cheese, spaghetti
6) Does saying "no" make you feel guilty? Depends on the situation.
7) At a party, you're cornered by a talkative stranger. How do deal with it? I'd excuse myself and hide in the bathroom.
8) Does thinking about the holidays fill you with joy, or leave you feeling anxious? Joy. Even though I won't get it together in time to put my tree up again this year. So I guess I'll make mine joyous with guilt chaser.
9) You are trying to settle a problem over the phone. After pressing 1 for English and keying in your account number, an automated voice asks you to "wait for the next available representative." How long do you wait? 10 minutes. Unless it's something crucial that I have to get resolved.
10) Do you have any tension-related health problems? If so, what are they? I used to have tummy troubles. They're pretty much gone now. I guess I'm more zen than I was in my younger days.
I'm not tagging anyone. But if you play along, let me know so I can compare your responses to mine.

Thank you, Silver
My blogging buddy over at The Quarter Life Chronicles gave me a heads-up that Jon Hamm was photographed for GQ. I don't know if I'm in love with Jon Hamm or Don Draper, the character he plays on Mad Men. I thnk I'll have to stare it this for a while to figure it out.

Happy Birthday to me, pt. 6
Tonight my friend John and I went to Shaw's Oyster Bar, where I had fried shrimp and a couple berry martinis. Then we went to see Four Christmases. Both the movie and the dinner were a lot of laughs.
