Happy Shark Week

I was working away on this week's Ten on Tuesday, and I stopped dead in my tracks when I read the third question.
Was someone looking into our windows?
I don't think anyone else feels the same way we do about Shark Week. We're a family of Animal Planet nerds.

1. What is your current favorite television show?
I have my buddy, Jeanna, to thank for this. She got me hooked on "Criminal Minds."
I mostly watch the reruns. I love it, but it is TWISTED.
The whole psychological aspect... the "profiling" of the worst criminals... It's fascinating to me.
I even told my brother (who is a real mental health professional) that I wanted to join the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Team and be a Profiler. He told me I would have to become a cop first, and that there are actually very few REAL profilers. He's a wet blanket on my FBI dream.

2. Apple juice or orange juice?
OJ all the way.

3. It’s Shark Week on Discover Channel. Do you watch? Why or why not?
Woo Hoo!!
How much of a geek would I be if I told you I (we) live for Shark Week?!? I can't remember a year we haven't watched. I wonder if the boy had been a girl, would we still be watching? Or would we be watching something with princesses and fairies?
I think sharks are beautiful and amazing creatures, and I get freaked out every time I go into the ocean... thank you, Shark Week.

4. What are the non-blog websites that you visit regularly?
Facebook, Hotmail, CNN, The Weather Channel, and Fox News.

5. What is your favorite way to prepare green beans? Asparagus? Potatoes? Carrots?
Green Beans? Roasted.
Asparagus? Roasted.
Potatoes? Baked. Mmmmm... With butter and sour cream.
Carrots? Raw.

6. What is your favorite flower?
I think my favorite flower is a daisy.

7. How do you feel about handkerchiefs?
I feel like they remind me of my dad, because he always has one. He has the worst allergies of anyone I know (except maybe my own child).
I think a handkerchief is old-fashioned and kinda yucky, but a bit more practical for a man.
It looks normal for a woman to pull out a bunch of Kleenex from her purse. (I might even take one if she offered it to me.) It seems odd for a man to pull a bunch of wadded up Kleenex from his pocket. Kinda weird. (And I probably would not take one.) Handkerchief? Not so weird. (As long as it's clean!)

8. If you could only shop at 3 stores for the rest of your life, what would they be? (You probably should include a grocery store.)
A grocery store. One like Whole Foods. (Did we say money was no object?)
A craft store (like Hobby Lobby).
And probably Target. Target would have all the other stuff I'd need.

9. If you could only use wine for one purpose for the rest of your life, which would you choose? To cook with or to drink?
To drink. And I could get it at Target, too!

10. What’s your bedtime?
Whenever the last of the Criminal Minds reruns goes off.
