Waiting on a Strep Test With 10 on Tuesday

Here on Planet Army Base, we apparently live in the Stone Age. I am still waiting on the results from yesterday's strep test on the boy.
I know, I know... There's this thing called a "Rapid Strep Test" and most of you leave the doctor's office with your results that day.
Not here, honey. I think we're waiting on a rabbit to die or something. Wait. Wasn't that a pregnancy test from 1940?

So, NO. No one is pregnant, but someone may or may not have strep.

While we wait....


Here's Tuesday's 10 Questions... from Chelsea at Roots and Rings.

1. Do you prefer markers, crayons, or colored pencils?
Markers are my favorites, but I love all things related to "school supplies." I was one of those nerdy kids who got excited about new pencils and notebooks. Especially markers and crayons. I still AM one of those kids.

2. As a child, how did your parents celebrate your birthday? (Parties, cake, you pick the dinner, etc.)
When we were very young, it was a birthday cake at home with grandparents. (I still remember loving the smell of the grown-ups' coffee brewing.) Later, we could have any kind of party we wanted. Sleepover, skating trip, movie night... Now that I am a mommy, I have much more respect for the level of tolerance my parents had. Or maybe they were drinking.

3. How do you feel about leggings?
I feel that they are adorable. On anyone with skinny legs and tiny behinds.

4. How do you prefer to follow directions? With a map? Words?
Interesting question. I prefer the word kind. Especially the words that say, "Go right at the mall, turn left at the Krispy Kreme, stop where you can see the red barn, turn left at the house that some fool painted pink." I am Southern, after all.

5. What do you eat for snack?
Whatever I can find. My favorite is cheese and crackers.

6. Have you ever ordered anything from an infomercial or bought any As Seen on TV products?
I'm certain I've never ordered anything directly from TV, but I think I may own an item or two that are "As Seen on TV."

7. What’s your favorite thing about summer?
No school for the boy equals more sleep for me. And the beach.

8. Do you have a tattoo? What and where is it?
Yep. It's a sea turtle on my left foot. And I know you didn't ask, but it hurt. Worse than childbirth. And that was not a fun experience.

9. Are you good at journaling?
Sadly, not anymore. I used to be. I think I became consumed with paranoia that someone might see my inner thoughts... And they are not horribly sadistic or incredibly intelligent. I get more and more private the older I get. Even if I am dead and gone, the idea of someone reading my journaling stresses me out. I would love to start again.

10. What’s your favorite way to eat a hamburger?
If it's homemade... with just mayo. If we're eating out, then I like all the fixins. Weird, I know. And I don't want it burnt. Nor do I want it mooing. Nice and done, not a hockey puck.
