5. Who was the last person who got really angry at you? Probably my husband
6. What is your pet peeve? Inconsistency
7. Do you keep grudges, or can you let them go easily? Let them go. Then bitch about that person behind his/her back.

SLOTH

4. What is the last lame excuse you made? I don’t have time to do the dishes. It’s TRUE!
5. Have you ever watched an infomercial all the way through (one of the long ones...)? No.
6. When was the last time you got a good workout in? Yesterday
7. How many times did you hit the snooze button on your alarm clock today? None. My children don’t have snooze buttons. But I always get up when the alarm goes off rather than hit the snooze. I can’t usually fall asleep again if my brain starts ticking over.

6. Do you prefer sweets, salty foods, or spicy foods? Mostly sweet & spicy. I could live without chips and crisps, but not chocolate or Thai food.

4. Would you rather be rich or famous? Rich.
5. Would you accept a boring job if it meant you would make megabucks? Not for long. I’ve kinda done that and it’s not as good as I thought it would be. You have to have all the other things in place to appreciate it- love, friendship, self-respect. Without those, money means nothing.
6. Have you ever stolen anything?. Yes. A hideous change purse from TG&Y when I was very young. I felt so guilty I asked my dad to drive me back the next day so I could surreptitiously return it. No one noticed.

1. What item (or person) of your friends would you most want to have for your own? I would like Laure here to help out with the kids. She’d have to stop pressing the snooze button, though:)

Send me a ticket, I'm there! lol

Trading Spaces is the crappy and really harsh American version of Changing Rooms which I don't really like either. I like those kind of shows where the people are always happy with the decorating/style choices. That gardening show with the chick who never wore a bra comes to mind--no one ever minded when they came in and redid their crappy gardens.
