Thank you for this Ginger Cook! After reading yours, I couldn’t resist! 🤣

Ten Questions and Answers Nobody Will Give a Damn About

But I’m going to sex it up a little

My answers aren’t as “sexy” as Ginger’s, but here it goes:

Question 1: After using something around the house, do you put it back immediately after use or leave it lying around?

I really to try to keep a tidy house, but it’s a challenge to keep it clean all the time. I’ll keep something out for a bit and then put it away once I remember to, or when it gets in the way of something else I’m trying to do. The best way to describe the state of my house most days is “I Tried.”.

Question 2: Do you squeeze the toothpaste from the end or the middle?

Always the end, to get the most toothpaste out of it. Have you seen the prices on shit lately? Yeah, I’m getting the most out of that tube if it kills me!

Question 3: Do you peel a banana from the handle or the bottom?

This is such a “Ginger” question! 🤣🍌

I peel my bananas from the handle, like a sane person does!

Question 4: Do you leave dishes in the sink overnight?

I really try not to! I hate having a cluttered kitchen counter in the morning, especially when I’m making Matt’s lunch, prepping my dog’s breakfast and trying to make myself a cup of Happy Juice (aka: coffee as dark as my sense of humor). If it doesn’t fit in the dishwasher, I scrub it by hand.

Question 5: Your best subject in school?

Language Arts, hands down. My worst? MATH.

Question 6: How many instruments can you play?

Zip, Zero, Nada! Does that answer the question?

Question 7: Yes or no to music?

What kind of question is this??? In case you’re wondering…

Question 8: Salty or sweet?

I feel like this is a tricky question. I really can’t see my life with only one or the other and after temporarily losing my sense of taste to Covid a couple years ago, living with out salty and sweet really sucks.

Sorry (not sorry), I can’t pick just one so it has to be BOTH!

Question 9: Introvert or extrovert?

This is another tricky one. My good friend calls me the “Introverted Extrovert” for a reason: I’m really shy and anti-social when I’m meeting people for the first time and it takes me a while to warm up. But once I come out of my shell and I’m comfortable around you, HOLD ON TIGHT! I’m a whole different person and things will get really weird, really fast!

Question 10: Favorite fruit?

Honeycrisp apples 🍎
