I'm hanging. I'm hanging!

Do you have any type of "piggy bank" in your house ?
I bought an old brass spittoon at an auction for this purpose

Where do you keep your change?
In a spittoon in the house and in a coffee can in the car

If you could only have ONE type of candy for the rest of the year, what would you chose ?
lol no you can't just say "chocolate"
Wow, that's a good one. I am tempted to say chocolate kisses, but the truth of the matter is that I do keep a specific kind of candy in the house at all times, those individually wrapped, hard peppermint candies. I used to keep chocolate kisses in the house all the time, but I was way too lenient with myself and gained way too much weight as a result.

Somone once told me that if you have it around all the time, you won't eat it so much. I guess I blew that theory out of the water!

How many watched American Idol last night ?
No local channels here.

Start to finish , how long does it take for you to get ready to leave the house ?
Depends whether I am in a hurry or not. In a hurry, I can go from sound asleep to out the door in about 12 minutes

What is the last thing you do before you go out the door ?
Pick up the car keys

Which door do you use most to go in and out of your home ?
Back door.

Hot Pastrami Sandwich: yay or nay
yay

The early bird waits for the question.

Our piggy bank is in the shape of a piano and it sorts the coins.

If I could only have one candy it would be Reeses Peanut Butter Cups.

I usually don't watch the first few episodes of AI, I feel more embarrassed for the contestants than entertained by them. It's just too painful to watch.

It takes about a half hour for me to get ready, longer if I straighten my hair.

Last thing I do before I leave the house is put on my wrist watch.

Usually use the living room door.

Hot pastrami yay on St. Patty's Day! Coming soon.
