Survey says...

State a fact about the person you like?
He has not yet followed through on his promise to make me an elaborate dinner, but our anniversary is fast approaching.

What happened at 11:00 am today?
I started getting excited about the fresh peapods I brought for lunch.
What are you excited for?Having an evening to myself tonight. We've had out of town friends visiting the past two weekends, which is great, but I eventually just want a few hours to sit and read quietly.

Are you wearing something you borrowed from someone?
Not today, though I do end up wearing Dan's socks at least twice a week.

What is the last thing someone bought you?
My friend Kelsey, who was visiting this weekend, bought us a variety of treats from Nan's Nummies, including Dutch letters and chocolate caramel pretzels. Needless to say, they have all been devoured.

When was the last time you saw your mom?Yesterday when we barbequed.
Name someone whose name starts with the letter "A".
Ooh! Me! I win!

Do plan on moving in the next year?No! I'm done with moving. I've even been throwing out our boxes, some of which we've had since college, so convinced am I that we are staying here for several years.

What is your current problem?
Mosquito bites.

Who was the last person to lay in your bed besides you?This is Dan's late morning, so I'm guessing he stayed in bed for quite awhile.

Who was the last person you saw?
Last night we had a bring-your-own-bruschetta-party, that didn't work out as well as we hoped because everyone brought olives (and I only just barely tolerate olives). So I saw a lot of olive-bearing people there.

Who was the last person to freak you out?
I don't think I've been freaked out in awhile.

Something you say when your mad ?
So...I've been watching Battlestar Galactica and I might have to start saying frak.

Have you cried today at all?
Nah.

Are you ticklish?
In a few places.

Are you happy right now?
Happy enough with the big picture, but, as Kara alluded to, there are always details that keep you from fully enjoying an otherwise good place in life.

Have you made a mistake this past week?
I make mistakes all the time. Usually after a social gathering, I can think of at least two things I wish I hadn't said. (Last night, I wish I hadn't been the first person to blurt out "of course" when someone asked if we'd ditch our spouse at an awkward dinner party, a la Jim's attempt to flee Michael and Jan's condo.)

Do you know anyone with the same name as you?
I don't know her, but when I google myself (we all do that sometimes, right?), I get some hits for a girl who won a trumpet competition in Ireland. Good job, other Alison Looney!

When was the last time you really laughed?
In my dream last night, I was laughing really, really hard at something, but now I can't remember the details.

Did you have a nap today?
Nah, naps just make me groggy. I'm better off powering through the afternoon and going to bed early.

Do you have any regrets?
Minor ones - but even when I wonder if my life would have been improved by different choices, I don't think I'd actually go back and change anything at this point.

Do you use an alarm clock?
Cell phone and plug in - occasionally one of them fails, so it's good to have both.

Do you work?
I sit in a cublicle for eight hours a day, that's for sure.

Do you have a tan?
My arms are actually slightly darker than my stomach, as I sometimes note in the shower, but I'm definitely pale.

What were you doing at 5 this morning?
It's been a long time since I've dealt with 5:00 a.m., either from staying up late or getting up early.
