Today's Question(s):

Anyone else having "What day is it" confusion?


Oh yes! I spent yesterday in a frantic scramble, trying to reconcile the calendar with where my head was. Never really succeeded, either.

Bonus Question:
Let's talk about writing

When you are writing something down do you use
Printing?
or
Cursive?


I usually use cursive when it's for my own use, something that nobody else will need. If I'm writing something that others will need to be able to read, it's sort of an amalgam of print and cursive script.

When it comes to your signature, can you easily tell it is your name or is it squiggly lines?

I think my first name in my signature is pretty easy to tell, but I get a little sloppy with the last name. You can tell what the first letter is, but the part in the middle is less obvious.

Inquiring Minds Question:

Is the milk in your fridge in a:
Plastic container?
Carton?
One-quart cardboard carton.
Glass bottle?

Do you prefer:
Whole milk?
1%?
2%?
Fat free(skim)?
This one, the lactaid variety.
Chocolate milk?

What type of milk is in your fridge right now?

Lactaid skim milk. I just used part of a quart on Monday evening to make the milk gravy to go over the chicken-fried steaks I made for our weekly dinner guests.

Just for Fun:
What is your favorite "canned" food?


Hmmm, I'm not much of a fan of canned foods. Probably tomato soup, if it's served alongside a grilled cheese sandwich.
