March 22: 100th Post

This week marks the 100th post of the Randomness Meme. Here’s this week’s questions:

A set of random questions:
1. What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
2. What shampoo do you use?
3. How do you like your eggs?
4. What’s the first thing you do when you get online?
5. What is your favorite tv show?
6. Which do you prefer, the sunrise or the sunset?
7. When is the last time you went to the mall?
8. What was the last food that you ate?
9. What is your favorite animal?
10. Do you collect anything?

OK, great questions, but my reply is going to be fairly long. I don’t say much of anything quickly and succinctly! Click the extended entry to read all of my answers!

1. Favorite ice cream flavor – duh, chocolate! Although I do like variations on a theme – cookie dough, Oreo ice cream, Butterfinger ice cream, brownie fudge fantasy ice cream, etc. Yummy!

2. Shampoo – I’ve been using System Biolage for a while now. I use the color safe one, since I get my hair colored on a regular basis. I’ve had grey hair since I was in high school. I have a feeling that if I were to stop coloring my hair, once it all grew out, I’d probably be 95% grey, maybe more. So, I color it and I use only shampoo and conditioner for color treated hair.

3. Eggs – I like my eggs most every way! I love eggs and as long as they are cooked, I will eat them. I don’t like “sunny side up” eggs, as the white is not cooked, but I like them cooked over-easy, scrambled, poached, boiled, or any which a way!

4. First thing online – well, I crank up my laptop, then load my email and a Firefox browser to our website and my blog. I check my email, and make sure that our site is up, then I go to sites like iGoogle.

5. Favorite TV show – geesh, I could not pick one show. I watch tons of shows. I’m definitely a TV-aholic. I like Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, Survivor, NCIS, Monk, Psych, Battlestar Galactica, and several others. My new favorite show, though, is Jon and Kate plus 8. My sister told me about it, and I’m really enjoying it. I’ve only caught a few episodes, but it’s fairly entertaining, and I was glad to see that TLC is having a mini-marathon this Wednesday, so I will have about 8 or 10 new episodes on my DVR very soon!

6. Sunrise or Sunset – I love them both, but I don’t see nearly as many sunrises as sunsets! I’m not a morning girl. We don’t have brilliant sunrises here, but I love when we sometimes get that pink and orange colored sky in the evening, at sunset. I actually took some photos of a sunset a month or two ago, and never posted them. I need to dig those out and post!

7. Last time to the mall – if you mean a traditional indoor mall, I went a couple of weeks ago with my sister Gail, while we were looking for Easter dresses. We have a new outdoor mall that just opened last week by my house. I went to just two stores, B&N and Fresh Market. I parked in the middle of the two of them, and then walked to both. I plan to go back and shop more, once the weather is nicer. It was raining and dreary that day.

8. Last food you ate – well, that would have been breakfast this morning. Old fashioned oats, with some dried cherries, Splenda, a dab of Smart Balance butter and some ground flax seed added. It really fills me up 🙂

9. Favorite animal – finally, an easy question! I’m a dog person, in particular, retrievers. I love goldens and labs. And it goes without saying that I love and adore my Beau baby!

10. Collect anything – boy, do I! Not traditional things though. Tim would say that I collect food and household supplies. I like to have a well stocked pantry. I don’t plan to ever run out of tissue paper or paper towels. As far as traditional things, I used to really “collect” scrapbook supplies, but I don’t buy anything anymore. I have a huge “collection”, but haven’t scrapped in several years. I semi-collect books, but I’m fairly picky about what books I buy. Mostly because I don’t have a lot of space for more books. I’d love to be able to “collect” more Snow Village pieces at Christmas, but again, it’s a space issue. Both for storing them and displaying them.

Fun questions! Let me know if you play along, to any or all of these, at your blog. Thanks to the folks over at the Randomness blog for posting these, and on their 100th post!
