  9. Cathie Says:

    cow’s milk

    shared couch with hubby-bear

    wood flooring - warmer

    traffic jam in your car - just turn up the tunes

    carrots

    wrist watch - cannot live without one

    prefer a winter vacation to a summer location

    take-out right now because I am tired of cooking

    I’d prefer Jack Johnson

    fruit smoothie

    visit to the dentist

    country

    early shift

    Stewart

    Letterman

    Colts or Bears - I guess it doesn’t matter right now

    New York Times

    BBC.co.uk

    married for too long - so neither one applies

    DIY almost always

    a tendency to Idealism

    Right/left brain - I just took a test for this and I am 50-50….hmmm…..

  10. Megan F Says:

    Even funnier is that I found a link to your blog in a comment on Darren Barefoot’s blog. I met Darren in ‘05 at Northern Voice.

  12. doug Says:

    Cow - soy isn’t milk

    Wood in rooms, slate for hallways and kitchens

    Right

  13. meg Says:

    It IS milk.

    Main Entry: milk
    Pronunciation: ‘milk
    Function: noun
    Etymology: Middle English, from Old English meolc, milc; akin to Old High German miluh milk, Old English melcan to milk — more at EMULSION
    1 a : a fluid secreted by the mammary glands of females for the nourishment of their young; especially : cow’s milk used as a food by humans b : LACTATION
    2 : a liquid resembling milk in appearance: as a : the latex of a plant b : the juice of a coconut composed of liquid endosperm c : the contents of an unripe kernel of grain

    If you’re trying to say you don’t CONSIDER it to be milk, ok, but all my lactose intolerant friends might kick your ass:).

  20. Superfantastic Says:

    Cow’s milk (I am a girl from Wisconsin)
    Depends on who’s already on the couch
    Wood floors
    Overcrowded train
    Celery
    I have been such a watch girl for most of my life but when my last one died, I kicked the habit. Now I am a clock/cell phone checker.
    Any and all vacations
    Take-out, please
    If I must choose one, I guess I’d say James Blunt
    Milkshake
    I’ll take the dentist any day
    Country (Don’t look at me - I live in Texas.)
    Late. Definitely late.
    Oh, but I love them both. I guess, if I have to choose, Stewart.
    Leno
    This also is a tough call because as a Packers fan, it has been ingrained in me always to want the Bears to lose and yet I think I have to cheer for the NFC. Go Bears.
    New York Times
    CNN.com
    Fear of commitment
    Call the landlord, one of the few perks of renting.
    Idealist
    Right brain

    chair of your own

    wall clock (I stopped wearing a wristwatch a few years ago and have been a much happier person since)
    summer vacation (away from the heat here!)
    take-out (but never get it; I always cook)
    James Blunt
    milkshake
    visit to the dentist (the dentist is a good friend of mine; visiting her is like going to the hairdresser)

  22. Wandering Willow Says:

    Colbert vs Stewart… you MUST be joking! Stewart wins by a zillion in my book. But I confess that I love them both. Just not equally.

    Letterman or Leno… you MUST be joking! oooops, I seem to be a minorioty in a bastion of Lettermanophiles. Well, Jay Leno looks almost exactly like my Dad, so there’s no contest there either.

    How about fruit smoothie with yogurt in it? That’s a combination, and it’s SSSOOOO GOOOOODDDD!!
