Another silly survey

I got this survey, yes, another one of those silly surveys, from someone.

I'm feeling a little down today after finding out our Stake President at church died this morning from a massive heart attack. He wasn't that old. Life is fragile.

So, I'm trying to think happy thoughts. I thought this might help keep my mind off it. And I will save everybody the awkwardness of feeling obligated when you email these things and have to email back. You can do this on your blog if you want. Or not.

I laughed when I read that old people= out of high school. Was I like that when I was in my 20's?

Anyhoo-- here you go... (I edited out some of the drinking question since they weren't applicable)

The "old people" (out of high school) survey

Tired of all of those surveys made by High School kids?

'Have you ever kissed someone?'
'missed someone?'
'told someone you love them?'
'drank alcohol?'

Here are some questions for some people who are a little more mature... ok old folks like us......

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
The utility bill. Because I actually have to remember to pay that one. The others are all automatically deducted. Oh, and hubbie's credit card bill. I don't remember that one very well because I don't use it and don't know when there's a charge.

2. Where's the best place to eat a romantic dinner?
Italy or France. Oh, you mean around here??? Umm, Carrabba's is nice. I'd to try the new Ruth's Chris Steak House and see if it's nice. Yes, I know it is, but I want to try it. Hint, hint.

I think I have it... which is no real job. :O Although, there are a few jobs I've thought would be fun. One is in the desktop publishing business. But I'm not really a nine to five-er. I thought it would be cool to be a EFY youth speaker/motivational speaker, but I don't know if I've got it in me. Being a flute clinician and traveling more would be lovely. So would would being a travel guide.

50. Do you obsess over having things in even numbers?
Funny you should ask. Since I deleted some questions, this survey ended up with only 49 questions, so I had to make up one more.
