Random Dozen

Welcome to this week's Random Dozen, in which I set a personal record for the most questions answered succinctly and with a form of a two-letter answer!

1. Which Wizard of Oz character are you most like?

Dorothy. Because there's no place like home. (And I'm waaaaay too tall to be a Munchkin!)

2. When you're deciding what you're going to wear each morning, which item do you select first? Why?

The top. Because that determines the color and the degree of warmth. The bottom half of the outfit is generally neutral.

3. What kind of animal do you think the world could live without?

Any of them that are in the same vicinity that I am! (Unless they are cooked and on my plate.)

4. How many Christmas trees are in your home?

Today? None. We get a real one. That will happen this weekend.

5. Would you prefer to be emotionless if it mean you didn't have to feel a heartbreak?

Nope. Spock misses out on a lot.

6. Do you ever experience holiday let-down or depression?

Occasionally. Surprisingly, I've had it a little bit on the front end this year, for a variety of reasons.

7. Do you like Michael Jackson's music?

Not even a little bit.

8. Why is it that we never judge people who have their teeth fixed for cosmetic reasons, but every other cosmetic procedure has a stigma?

Because a smile is how we show our inner beauty. But I'm still not big on the whole perfect caps and whitening route.

9. Enjoy horseback riding?

Not so much.

10. Shoes--practical or stylish?

Sadly, more and more practical. But NOT old-lady practical. But I will not sacrifice comfort for cute. Plantar fasciitis has cured me of that.

11. What was the name of your first pet? Feel free to post a pic.

Will there ever be a random dozen without a pet question?!

12. What percentage of your Christmas shopping is done?

Zero. Zilch. Nada.

I'm sure you can find a lot of folks with more "yes" answers than I had over at 2nd Cup of Coffee!
