1. Do you have towels, toilet lid covers, carpet and a shower curtain that all match, or are your colors more random?  Those who know me would laugh at the very thought of anything matching in my house.  I don't even try.

2. What flavor of toothpaste do you use most often? How long have you used this flavor?  Crest. It's been our brand of choice ever since early in our marriage.  These days it's a problem to figure out just which variety of Crest to buy, though.  

3. Do you roll up the toothpaste tube or just squeeze from the middle? What percentage of toothpaste is left in the tube you’re using right now?  I'm a slob; I just squeeze.  Cliff rolls the tube.  My tube of toothpaste is fairly new... I'd say 95% is still there.

4. Checking in the medicine cabinet, under the sink, and in the closet, which single bathroom product do you have the biggest supply of?  Toilet paper, always and forever.  Amen.

5. Take the quiz: What Bathroom Product Are You?

You Are a Comb

You are expressive and outgoing. You like to experiment with your personal style. You are imaginative and very visual. You like to look good, and you're attracted to beauty. You are creative and design oriented. You redecorate often, and you like to make yourself over. You are inventive and extremely original. You do things differently just because it feels good.

Blogthings: If Quizzes Are Outlawed, Only Outlaws Will Take Quizzes

That's a crock, but the test doesn't work for me because none of those answers mattered to me.

6. How many different kinds of shampoo do you have open in your bathroom now? Do you usually stick with one at a time, or do you vary from several different types day to day?  One.  Shampoo is shampoo, and I always buy Suave because it's cheap.  Oh, wait... I do have Sadie's doggie shampoo in there, does that count?

1. What is the last thing you purchased for yourself, other than basics like groceries? The Mac Mini I'm using right this minute.

2. What is the last thing you purchased for someone else? Cliff's the breadwinner here, so if "I purchase" something, it's usually his money backing that purchase. Let's just say I pushed him really hard to buy the Oliver 1855 he was lusting after. Does that count?

3. If you were to win a lottery, what is the first charity you’d donate to? They're on my sidebar to the right, where it says "be generous, times are hard"; if you want to bless somebody and are wondering how and whom, choose those. Please.

4. If you won that lottery, what is the first “luxury” you’d buy for yourself? It would be a luxury to me to pay off everything I already have; there really aren't many things I want that I don't already have.

5. Take the quiz: Do You Put Yourself First or Last?

You Put Yourself First

By putting yourself first, you're actually not being selfish. You're just being realistic. You like to help others as much as the next person... maybe even more. But you know you need to be at the top of your game in order to really give back. You take good care of yourself, and you have learned the art of tactfully saying "no." It's all about balance. You try to stay away from people and activities that drain you. You prefer to save your energy for those who really matter to you. 6. When is the last time you spent an entire weekend putting yourself first? Weekend? I put myself first more often than not; I'm not proud of the fact, it's just the way I'm wired.

1. How many days a week, on average, do you eat breakfast? Seven. I try to never skip breakfast.

2. If you eat a breakfast that involves actual cooking, what are most likely to prepare for yourself? Oatmeal

3. If you eat a breakfast that requires no cooking, what are you most likely to choose for yourself? Fiber one with banana, or Mini-spooners with banana.

4. Take the quiz: What Kind of Cereal Are You?

You Are Raisin Bran

You are the type of person who wants in all in life... And to the surprise of some, you usually do have it all. If something only serves one purpose, it's of no use to you. While people may assume you are greedy, you really are just seeking balance. Unsurprisingly, you want your breakfast to be both healthy and tasty. Like with all things, you won't settle for anything but the best.

5. When you eat pancakes, how many do you typically place in a stack? I don't like my pancakes in a stack; I like one at a time.

6. How do you like your pancakes: with butter/margarine or without, and what flavor of syrup? With butter and maple-flavored syrup.

1. You have to leave a snack for Santa, but you’re concerned about his health so you don’t want to leave sweets: what healthier snack would you choose instead? a Fuji apple and some celery with natural peanut butter.

2. Santa decides to be especially generous this year, and says he’ll bring you a car. What make and model would you like to find in your driveway on Christmas morning? A brand-new, pearl-white Cadillac

3. Santa is also giving you a vacation to any spot in the world for a week. Where would you like to go? New Zealand

4. Take the quiz: What will be in your Christmas stocking?

Your Christmas Stocking Will Be Filled With a Puppy

Well - one cute, soft, cuddly puppy... And a very soiled Christmas stocking.

What Will Be In Your Christmas Stocking?

5. When was the last time you had a picture taken with Santa Claus? About fifty-five years ago.

6. If Santa could bring you 12 of any single item mentioned in the lyrics of “The Twelve Days of Christmas,” which gift would you choose and why? Twelve maids a-milking, because I love Jersey cows, and I assume if the ladies are milking, they come with cows. Right? And they could milk the cows for me!

1. How often do you clip coupons from the newspaper or mail inserts? I'd say, on average, I use about four coupons a month these days.

2. You buy something that contains a mail-in rebate: how likely are you to take the time to fill out and mail the application (with appropriate receipts) to actually get the rebate mailed to you? You bet your sweet bippie I'll send those in! They usually amount to a substantial amount of money.

3. How many credit cards do you have right now that have a zero balance? I don't want to talk about it. Ask me in a month.

4. Take the quiz: Are you good with money?

You Are Bad With Money

You're probably constantly broke - or you will be soon. You spend like there's no tomorrow, and for you, tomorrow is looking pretty grim. Put off some purchases, get out of debt, and stop living above your means. You could be rich someday - but you need money to make money.

Are You Good With Money?

5. What is the most expensive thing you purchased in the last week? A Jersey heifer

6. On a scale of one to ten, with ten meaning that it was something you needed badly and urgently, how much did you really need this particular item? Emotionally, I needed this item. On a practical basis, I didn't need it at all.

1. If you knew you would die the following day, what would you do with your blog: edit some parts of it and leave it up for posterity, leave it as it is, or delete it? I'd leave it.

2. Other than your own blog, what single website do you visit the most? Probably Tractor Tales, on Yesterday's Tractors. Somebody has to keep those guys in line. Country Living would run a close second.

3. How many different email accounts do you currently own, counting work and home? Geesh, what a boring question. Four, I think, but I only use three of them: AOL, Yahoo, and Earthlink

4. Take the quiz: How addicted to the internet are you?

You Are 61% Addicted to the Internet

In your opinion, life without the internet is hardly worth living. Could be, but you probably need a bit more fresh air and sunshine to think clearly.

Are You Addicted to the Internet?
Just so you know, this test is not accurate. I'm at LEAST 90% addicted.

5. Are you more likely to visit the internet the first thing in the morning or the last thing at night? In the morning

6. Who was the last person you had an email/instant message conversation with? I think the last IM was with an Internet friend, Toonguy, who e-mailed me and said "Let's IM". I don't care for IMs, so this was an unusual situation. I have e-mail conversations with my daughter at work often. That seems less intrusive than my calling her on the job. When was the last time you saw that person in person? I met Russ a year or two ago... only time I've seen him in person.
