It's Wednesday and time to play Random Dozen Roulette!

1. How old is the oldest pair of shoes in your closet?

I know one pair is at least 6 years old. Because it hearkens back to my boy's Cub Scout days. They are nice and warm, so I wore them on a campout. Sitting by the fire, it seemed a natural and innocent thing to do to prop my feet on the edge of the metal fire ring/border. Part of the rubber sole got kinda soft and gooey.

2. Did you buy Girl Scout cookies this year? If so, what variety?

Did I buy GS cookies? Is the earth round? Thin Mints, PB patties, and shortbreads.

3. Do you know how to ballroom dance? If not, would you like to?

No and yes. It looks so graceful and romantic.

However, I am not so graceful, and it is also something Mr. Spock my engineer man will never do!

4. Were you a responsible child/teenager?

Yes, way too much. I was too scared of getting into trouble.

5. How many of this year's Oscar-nominated movies did you see?

Zero. Zilch. Nada. Next question?

6. If you're going to have a medical procedure done, such as having blood drawn, is it easier for you to watch someone else having the procedure done or have it done yourself

Well, since I am a nurse, I pretty much know what most procedures entail. But I've never liked just watching - it's much more fun to be helping.

7. What is your favorite day of the week and why?

Friday. Because there's no pressure in the evening for the kids to do homework, and I love anticipation and knowing I can sleep in a bit the next day.

8. Do you miss anyone right now?

My dad. I really wish my kids had been older when he died.

9. Do hospitals make you queasy?

LOL - see #6. I LOVE hospitals! When my boy ended up with meningitis when he was 7 months old, the doctor filling in for my doctor was hesitant about telling me he needed to be hospitalized, 'cause parents usually freak out. Not me. I was relieved -- in the hospital he would get an IV and be monitored!

10. At which store would you like to max-out your credit card. Not that you ever would, you responsible person, you.

Just one? Can it be a spree between Williams-Sonoma, Barnes & Noble, and Macy's?

11. Are you true to the brand names of products/items?

Yes. I buy the same things consistently, and I don't care for very many store brands. And Motrin really does seem to work better than Advil.

12. Which is more difficult: looking into someone’s eyes when you are telling someone how you feel, or looking into someone’s eyes when he/she is telling you how he/she feels?

I don't do eye contact very well in any situation. Well, with one exception: when I'm scolding my kids.
