Ten on Tuesday

Another set of questions from the lovely Chelsea of Roots and Rings!

1. What’s your favorite kind of donut?
Well, donuts have gluten in them, so I don't eat them. And I can't say I've ever been a huge fan of them in the first place!

2. Do you use the snooze button?
Rarely! I used to but I broke that habit!

3. Do you write in cursive, print, or a combination of the two?
Sort of a combination of the two - it's barely legible. I really do not like my handwriting.

4. Tell us a joke.
A carrot and a mushroom were dating. One day, the mushroom said, "I'm sorry, we need to break up, this just isn't working." The carrot asked why. The mushroom said, "Because you're not a fungi." Ha.

My dad spoke at a carrot convention once (yes, there is such a thing as a carrot convention). I told him he should tell this joke. He didn't. That was probably a good decision. Joke telling is not a strength of mine.

5. How many languages do you speak?
Sadly, only 1. I know enough French to get by and ask all of my questions/order in French, but that's about it. I'd love to be fluent in French some day!

6. Why did you start blogging?
I started my France blog so my family would know what I was up to when I was in France for 3 weeks in 2008. I enjoyed blogging so much, I started this one when I got back!

I'll be posting in on my France blog when I am in Paris next week so add it to your reader (if you care to read about what I am up to over there!).

7. Do you use bar soap or liquid body wash?
Bar soap.

8. Do you buy bottled water?
Only when I am traveling.

9. What did you think of the Super Bowl Half Time Show?
I thought it was actually pretty entertaining and I enjoyed it - well, the parts when Fergie wasn't singing. I can't stand her. I don't have a good reason for this. Just the sight of her annoys me.

10. How do you feel about Steve Carell leaving The Office?
I am ambivalent because I no longer watch this show!

That carrot joke was awesome and ridiculous. It made me laugh that you told your dad he could use it and he didn't.

i love me some Black Eyed Peas...Fergie was off her game BUT she knew all the words...unlike Christina and the national anthem. That was SAD!!

I loved the joke, Lisa..

Mandy said...

You broke your snooze alarm habit!? How did you do this? Ah, nevermind, you could tell me but we both know I don't have enough discipline to follow through with it. =)

A carrot convention? Thats sort of awesome. Growing up one of my friend's dad annually went to a funeral directors convention. The coroner from The Wizard of Oz was always a featured guest.

I will definitely add your France blog to my reader!! I can't wait to see what you're up to over there and see how much fun you're having! :)

"You're not a fungi" LOL

Looking forward to the French blogging experience, once again!!!

Sarah said...

Kudos to you for breaking the snooze button habit!! I'm working on that myself: I only hit it twice this morning - yay! lol.

Leigh said...

I don't eat doughnuts that often, but I had timbits for the first time in a long time this weekend. So delicious but so many calories!

Amber said...

First? HAHAHAHAHA to that joke. Love it. Hahaha. Also the fact that your dad went to a carrot convention is VERY cool/interesting. Lol

I am adding your Paris blog to my reader now :)

And I had no idea Steve Carrell left The Office. I haven't watched that show in forever either, though.

Stephany said...

I had to read the joke aloud to get it. It took me two attempts. Yes, this is sad. (But, I laughed! ;))

I need to break my snooze alarm habit. I'm terrible about it!

crystal said...

Wow, kudos for not using a snooze button!! I set 3 alarms and snooze them all :(

I am completely with you on the Fergie thing, she really bothers me....and I'm not completely sure why. I was super happy though when Usher came out! Oh, and thought the light up people were pretty cool.

I don't really get the carrot joke......

Gracie said...

The Office completely jumped the shark. I'm with you on that one ;-)

Kelly (She Wears a Red Sox Cap) said...

That carrot joke is GREAT, love it.

I will definitely be reading your adventures next week- I am pretty excited for it actually.

Jeanie said...

You bet I'll check your French blog! I am counting down your days with you!

Jolene - EverydayFoodie said...

I am sad about Steve Carell - I love him :-)

Erin said...

I just have to say----it took me a good 6 minutes to "get" the carrot joke. When I finally did---I literally laughed out loud!!!!!! (And then I told it during 6th period to my students---who thought it was cheesy---yet laughed out loud!)

I don't think I will ever break the snooze button habit!
