4. When did you last go to the mall? I was about to say SO LONG AGO I CAN'T EVEN REMEMBER! - but then I remembered that Barnsie is technically connected to the mall, so I guess about two weeks ago. But I ONLY go to Barnes and Noble; NEVER into the rest of the mall.

5. When was the last time you bought a pair of pants? I can't really remember! Probably last winter.

  1. It's fun to pass these things around; I love seeing where our answers are similar (I want to see Harry Potter, too!) and where they're COMPLETELY different (can you 'splain the hot sauce thing to me, please, because I REALLY don't get it!).

    Mwah!

  2. I almost didn't schedule a dental cleaning because the appointment time is on the opening day of Harry Potter! But I'll wait and see it on Sunday; that's a GREAT day to go to the movies here ('cause most people and their many children are in church).

    As for the hot sauce... I think it's almost an addiction thing! It definitely gets my adrenaline flowing. I am not as bad as my husband; he puts Cajun sauce on just about everything, in copious amounts. For my brother it's Tabasco, and Niece and Nephew are starting to emulate him. Somehow, they more you eat it, the more you crave it!

  3. Heh. All those church-goin' folk don't want to see that evil Harry Potter nonsense, anyway!

    I can see it being an addiction; at least, I see it in my friends. I never thought of the adrenaline, though; that's a good point.
