Tell me why I don't like Mondays
Technically it's Monday on the west coast, I guess.

  1. Have you ever sold anything through an online auction? What did you sell and did you make very much? Too many things to count. Our eBay seller rating is 146 right now. I think the most we ever made was on computer equipment Todd won in a contest at work -- we made almost $500 and took a vacation to New Orleans in '99 with it.
  2. Have you ever bought anything through an online auction? How was your experience? Again, too many things to count. My favorite purchase was a Kate Spade purse that I've since sold. (And I made back twice as much for it used as I originally paid for it brand new with tags.) Thankfully we've never been burned on items we've purchased -- just deadbeat bidders on items we've sold. My most recent purchases have been things in my flatware and stoneware (recently retired) patterns.
  3. Do you like the sun? Getting a suntan? Have you ever had a bad sunburn? I love the sun and loved being tan before I married Todd. But where I'm pale and tan deeply, he's pale and blisters badly. I really don't get bad sunburns. I just turn bright pink and it's gone in a day or two. It never burns or stings like a real sunburn would though.
  4. Are you a vegetarian? Why? If not, have you ever considered it? No. I love meat. Lots of meat. I'm an Oklahoma girl. Dead cow. Mmmmm... I hate vegetables though, so that rules a lot of good vegetarian items right out.
  5. Suppose you are getting into your car after you've just made your purchase from a store you visit twice a week. You suddenly realize you had a .35¢ item in your hand and you forgot to pay for it. What would you do next? (what *would* you do, not what *should* you do) I would walk back in and pay for it. If I walked out and forgot to pay -- my bad, and I'd correct the mistake. However, if they placed something in my bag that I didn't pay for...finders keepers.
  6. Sometimes it seems that there is just not enough time to do everything that must be done. Was there anything you wanted to accomplish this weekend that didn't get done? I wanted to get the "Fifteen Minutes of Fame" done, but that had to wait 'til today.
  7. What is your favorite game to play with a group and/or an individual? (board game, computer game, athletic, etc.) Hands, down, Trivial Pursuit. I do best at it when highly intoxicated. You always have to go back to the state you learned everything in to recall it again...
BONUS: One headline why believe it? Rats. Foiled again.

And because I forgot to say so in my comment, I'm an innie.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



D'oh -- I just looked up the BONUS question. *smacks forehead*

I still don't get it ... were we supposed to figure out what song it was from? :) So confused...

Now now, don't be a cheater... but seriously, how could you (and everyone else) have missed that? Maybe I'm getting too obscure.

It was VERY obscure, Promo -- I know that song by heart, but it wasn't a lyric that would have triggered anything. And yep, ste -- the Bonus Question each week is a hidden lyric (usually 80s). I'm only about 50/50 on 'em, and it ticks me off (at myself) when I miss! ;-)

And I didn't cheat -- I added it AFTER my Monday Mission and said I looked it up. So there! ;-p
