The A’s over the Rangers, 9-0. Woohoo! 😀
THE FRIDAY FIVE
1. Who is your favorite celebrity?
Harry Connick Jr.
2. Who is your least favorite?
Even though I think she has a gorgeous voice, I’m going to have to say “the image of” Christina Aguilera
3. Have you ever met or seen any celebrities in real life?
Yes on both accounts. Of course, it probably depends on one’s idea of “celebrity.” 😉
4. Would you want to be famous? Why or why not?
If being famous meant touching the lives of others through entertainment, then yes, I’d want to be famous. But if it means being notorious, I’d rather not.
5. If you had to trade places with a celebrity for a day, who would you choose and why?
I had to think about this overnight. 😉 Norah Jones. She sings, plays the piano, and writes music. Oh, and she’s making a living at it! 😀 I love her stuff and I think I wouldn’t mind being her for a day while on tour…
Wednesday: In Seattle, the A’s over the Mariners, 4-1. FINALLY! Tim Hudson got the win, Keith Foulke the save. Eric Chavez hit a two run homer in the first and Erubiel Durazo hit a two run homer in the ninth. Woohoo! 😀
I’m not feeling too hot. I had a bit of a fever while I was at work. Let’s see if I make it in later…
1. File taxes as early as possible, or wait until the last possible minute?
I prefer to file them early.
2. File electronically, or mail paper forms?
Electronically!
3. Prepare your own taxes, or have someone do it for you?
Someone does it for me. 😀
4. Are you a saver or a spender?
Spender!!! “Money is for spending.”
5. Do you prefer to carry cash, or pay with plastic (credit/debit cards), or by check?
No checks! I like cash, but plastic works too. 😉
6. You’re broke and desperately need a job, but the only places that are hiring are retail or fast food places. Which would you pick?
Retail. Customers suck in either job, but at least with retail you might get discounts on stuff you can use. 😉
7. Keeping track of your money: are you more meticulous or careless about it?
Careless. I think that’s what happens when you’re married young…
8. What do you do if you find yourself with a lot of change weighing down your purse/pocket/wallet? Do you try to spend it to *get rid of it*, or do you put it in a jar or a piggy bank?
I put my change in a tin box, then when it’s too much it goes into one of those big plastic water jars.
9. Which form of fake money do you like better…Monopoly money or those chocolate coins covered with gold foil?
Well, if I’m hungry, I’d go for the chocolate coins. 😉
10. Thought-provoking question of the week: You find a wallet containing $5,000 in cash, as well as several credit cards and the owner’s drivers’ license. Your rent is due tomorrow and you’re short $200. Do you take the money (some or all of it) and mail back the wallet anonymously…or do you return the wallet with all contents intact?
Return the wallet with all contents intact. It’s someone’s property and should be returned. If I took any of the money, I’d feel totally guilty.
