[squirrella]

1. Do you have a college degree?
BA: English major, medieval studies minor.
MS: Library Science

2. What was the amount of your last electric bill?
About the same as it was last year, which thrills me because it means we didn't use any more than last year... As for an amount, though, I don't know.

3. Do you have life insurance?
Yes--through my job and through my regular insurance company.

4. How many hours per week do you have to work?
37.5, though I sometimes work many more.

5. Have you ever attended a Toastmasters event?
No.

6. Favorite place to attend Happy Hour?
Local bars (as in, down the hill), or some place swank downtown. We used to go to Chris' Jazz a lot, though it is neither local nor swank.

7. How many miles is your commute to work each day (one way)?
5.12 miles. Uphill.

8. What time do you get up every morning for work?
Between 6:15 and 6:45.

9. What is your definition of sleeping in late?
8:30!

10. Do you check your cholesterol on a yearly basis?
Yup, and my cholesterol is perfect--the goods are up, the bads are down.

11. How large was your first cellular phone?
Funny this should come up as I recently found my first cell phone in the basement... Why I would still have this thing 11 years later is beyond me. But now? NOW it seems a relic. Think football size, slightly deflated.

12. Does your employer provide good health insurance?
It's decent. The employee cost could be less, but I can't complain.

13. Did you use the internet to write a research paper back in high school or did you do it with encyclopedias and research books in the library?
I typed all my papers! FOR REAL. In fact, when I went off to college, I took my typewriter with me. And, freshman year, I basically flunked out my first semester because I wouldn't go to the computer introduction class. I WAS AFRAID OF LEARNING THE COMPUTER!!!

14. Have you attended a HS reunion?
I went to Michael's 10th a few years back. I never received an invitation to mine, and I am 100% fine with that.

15. How many jobs have you held in your professional career?
That I would include on my current CV? 3.

16. Have you ever been fired or laid off from a job?
Nope.

17. What is your favorite drink?
Vodka tonic, lemon please. Or, Woodchuck Cider. YUM.

18. What is the most expensive bottle of wine that you have ever had in your residence?
We went through a wine-snob phase, so I'm going to say, easily, $45. Not too expensive, but more expensive than most people would justify on wine. We've since found the wonders of a little store just inside the Delaware State Line that sells amazing amounts of decent wine for under $10. I love wine!

19. Have you been divorced?
Nope.

20. How old were you when you stopped getting IDed for Alcohol/tobacco etc...?
I've not been carded for cigarettes since I stopped smoking way back in 1994. Very rarely do I get carded for liquor, even if I do look rather young. I think it's because I no longer look like I'm trying to be older than I am, ie, whoring it up with the caked-on make-up.

21. Favorite casino?
I don't like casinos.

22. Are you happier now than you were in high school?
Immeasurably.

23 Did you ever have Hypercolor shirts?
No, but I had a friend that wore one well into the 90s. It lost its Hypercolor-activity...

24. Do you remember when Michael Jackson was black and attracted to older people?
Vaguely. I never liked Michael Jackson.

27. What music was in your cd / cassette player when you were 16?
Sinead O'Connor and The La's.

28. Favorite fancy / upscale restaurant?
Years ago, Mike took me to The Victor Cafe for our anniversary. That was super swell. And recently, we went to FARMiCiA for our 9th anniversary. And then we've also had delicious meals at The Rose Tattoo. Too many amazing places to pick just one!

29. How long has it been since you attended a kegger?
I think there was a keg at Mellie's birthday party?

30. How many major wars have you lived through?
Depending on how you define major, it could be a lot of wars...

31. Where were you when you found out about 9-11?
At work. I remember walking arm in arm to the train station with a co-worker/neighbor, and not wanting to let go for fear of being alone.
