Not sure.  I&#8217;m guessing the last person I kissed was an infant or toddler&#8211;probably a cute one.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you look forward to most in the next 3 months?<\/strong><br \/>\nCurrently? Not sure.  Lots of things happening, not sure how any of them will turn out.  But Christmas is in 3 months!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Who was the last person you called?<\/strong><br \/>\nAccording to my phone, Anna.  But I didn&#8217;t really call her; Grace did.  Anna&#8217;s phone and mine can talk for free.  Grace&#8217;s and Anna&#8217;s?

They&#8217;re up for the transition to empty-nesters, though, so we can always pray&#8211;that&#8217;s tough for many marriages.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When is the last time you saw your sister\/s?<\/strong><br \/>\nI saw all three of my sisters last night at my brother&#8217;s birthday celebration.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happened at 10:00 am today?<\/strong><br \/>\n Nothing has happened at 10am today as it is not yet 10am.  What <i>happen<\/i>? Don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many states have you lived in?<\/strong><br \/>\nOne, unless you count my brief stays in Florida and Taumalipas, Mexico.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many cities\/towns have you lived in?<\/strong><br \/>\nDitto the above.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s the initial of the last person you kissed?<\/strong><br \/>\nAs I said, I&#8217;m not sure exactly who I last kissed, except that it was likely a baby.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you prefer shoes, socks, or bare feet?<\/strong><br \/>\nShoes if I&#8217;ve got anywhere to go or anything  to do.  Socks if I&#8217;m done for the day and lounging around the house (or going to bed when it&#8217;s cold).  Bare feet if it&#8217;s springtime and I&#8217;m planting a garden :-)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Are you a social person?<\/strong><br \/>\nI think so.  Although I do need alone time as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the last thing you ate?<\/strong><br \/>\nHomemade cherry pie (for dinner last night)<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite ice cream? <\/strong><br \/>\nUsed to be butter brickle&#8211;and I still love it.  But there&#8217;s this new Raspberry Cow Tracks stuff&#8211;raspberry ice cream with dark chocolate chunks.  Um&#8230;amazing.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your favorite dessert? <\/strong><br \/>\nHomemade Strawberry Rhubarb Pie<\/p>\n<p><strong>What kind of jelly do you like on your PB &#038; J sandwiches?<\/strong><br \/>\nI prefer honey, actually.  But if I&#8217;ve got to do jelly, I prefer homemade strawberry jam (just like my sis!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you like coffee?<\/strong><br \/>\nI&#8217;m a recreational user.  I only drink when I&#8217;m with people.  But I enjoy it when I do!<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you drink in the morning?<\/strong><br \/>\nA tall glass of water to rehydrate from a long night of not sleeping.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you ever kissed anyone whose named started with D L M R S U Z?<br \/>\n<\/strong><br \/>\nDon&#8217;t do a lot of kissing except of babies.  But I&#8217;m sure I&#8217;ve kissed a few babies with one or the other of those initials.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Known someone who&#8217;s name starts with U?<\/strong><br \/>\nLaughing out loud over my sister&#8217;s answer: &#8220;Yeah, my brother&#8217;s name is Ugly.&#8221;  As for myself, I&#8217;m not sure.   <\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you like Chinese food?<\/strong><br \/>\nYep.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How big is your bed?<\/strong><br \/>\nTwin<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is your room clean?<\/strong><br \/>\nSort of.  I just came back from a trip, so I have bags sitting on the floor, but otherwise, most surfaces are clean&#8211;except the futon, which is piled with clothes I want to alter sometime when I get some time.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Laptop or Desktop computer?<\/strong><br \/>\nDesktop.  They live, like, a bazillion years longer than laptops do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Favorite comedians?<\/strong><br \/>\nDunno.  I don&#8217;t listen to\/watch a lot of comedians.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you smoke?<\/strong><br \/>\nNope.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does anyone like you?<\/strong><br \/>\nI hope so.

With a lot of work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many times have you been pulled over by the police?<\/strong><br \/>\nI can&#8217;t even count.  No tickets, but I have had lights out, registration expired, etc. (Lights out was most common&#8211;I think I was pulled over for a missing light in at least every one of my parents vehicles when I was just starting to drive.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pancakes or French Toast?<\/strong><br \/>\nDepends on my mood.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How do you like your eggs?<\/strong><br \/>\nDepends on my mood.

I don&#8217;t have a missed call list, that I know of&#8211;but I did miss a call from Anna yesterday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>McDonalds or Burger King?<\/strong><br \/>\nMcDonalds.
