Appetizer
What comes to mind when you hear the word bizarre?
Soup
Using just a few words, describe your childhood.
Salad
Name one thing you do each day that you feel improves your appearance.
Main Course
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how would you rate your self-confidence?
Dessert
Where did you last find a bargain?
My answers will be in the comments boxes, with yours!
1. strange
2. I was a geek. (still am)
3. take a shower... more to what the question is really asking, though, would probably be taking the time to blow dry my hair.
4. I'd rate myself about a 5 on average.
5. Last bargain was Bob's Diner in Henrietta, NY. 5 adults ate breakfast for less than $25 (before tip)
1. Bizarre? Often the world at large.
2. Childhood? Happy, sad, geeky (yep, me too, Amy!)
3. Appearance? Not much--this is my area of weakness. I don't do much for my appearance.
4. Confidence? Depends too much on the situation. Meeting new people? -10. Talking with friends? 6 or 7. I probably average a 5, overall.
5. Bargain? Grocery store! Boneless New York strip steaks for $1.89 a pound. I thought they were mismarked, and asked the meat manager--he said, "If I mismarked it, you get the benefit!" I bought all three packages they had at that price!
1) tres bizarre . . . what my sister and I always say instead
2) needlessly unhappy
3)face cream. I don't wear much make-up, especially now since it was pilferred, but I love my face cream
4)3
5) ebay

Dessert: Last great bargain was on abebooks.com: four Walker Percy hardbacks less than 10 bucks total including shipping.
