Do you wear cologne or any type of fragrance?


If you do wear a fragrance, do you have a favorite that you wear all the time or do you vary fragrances?


Not really. I have this spray hair straightener that doesn't really do what it's supposed to do but it smells so good! So I tried to use it as a perfume, but it didn't smell the same on skin and clothes as it does on hair.


How often do you get your hair cut and when was the last time you had it cut?


Whenever I think it needs it, but sometimes I'll trim it myself on a whim.



What types of products do you use when you wash your hair (e.g., shampoo; conditioner; soap)?

Coconut oil, shampoo and conditioner. A little hairspray if I have to. I don't like putting a lot of stuff in it if I can help it.


If you have little or no hair on your head, do you wear a hat often to cover it up or do you display your cranium proudly?

When was the last time you wrote something on a paper calendar?


I don't know.


Have you ever noticed a funny typo on a sign or in a newspaper? If so, do you remember what it was?

There used to be this really run-down bar in a bad neighborhood nearby. It had like a playing card motif painted on the side of the building. The name was supposed to be "My 4 Aces". Whoever painted it couldn't spell and it said "My 4 Asses" instead. However "asses" itself wasn't even spelled correctly, but was instead something like "ass'ss". It was miserable and glorious at the same time.


Have you ever spotted a typo in a book?


Yes.


Some of the most brilliant people I know are poor spellers. Are you a good speller?


I would say yes, but then my postings are probably riddled with errors.


FOOD QUESTIONS - OH BOY!


Have you / do you ever make gravy from scratch? If so, how do you make it?


No.


When was the last time you ate pizza, and what toppings were on it?


Yesterday. Spinach and mushroom with hot sauce.


When you use whipped cream (not "topping" from a tub), do you use whipped cream from an aerosol can or do you whip cream yourself?


I don't really buy whipped cream.


Have you ever whipped cream too long and accidentally tuned it to butter?


No.


Doughnuts: plain or filled?


Chocolate filled from Shipley's only.


Cupcakes: plain or frosted?


If I'm eating a cupcake it will be frosted.


Hot cocoa: with or without whipped cream (or marshmallows)?


I don't drink hot cocoa.

TODAY'S QUESTIONS


Do you wear cologne or any type of fragrance?
Yes, I have been wearing it since I was 15.

If you do wear a fragrance, do you have a favorite that you wear all the time or do you vary fragrances?
I have favorites. The two I'm wearing right now are Flowerbomb and Miss Dior. I also like Chanel No. 5 and Jessica McClintock.

How often do you get your hair cut and when was the last time you had it cut?
Every six weeks. My last haircut was two weeks ago today.

What types of products do you use when you wash your hair (e.g., shampoo; conditioner; soap)?
I have used Matrix Biolage, Redken and Frederick Fekkai. I'm not fussy about the brand as long as it is formulated for color-treated hair.

If you have little or no hair on your head, do you wear a hat often to cover it up or do you display your cranium proudly?
Mr. Bay is bald and displays his cranium proudly. When I first met him he had the most awful comb-over, but I got him to gradually get rid of it (and the 70s sideburns). I think an honest bald head is much more attractive than obvious attempts to disguise it.


BONUS QUESTIONS


When was the last time you looked at paper calendar?
Last night
When was the last time you wrote something on a paper calendar?
Last night
Have you ever noticed a funny typo on a sign or in a newspaper? If so, do you remember what it was?
Yes, I see a lot of them in restaurants. The only humorous misuse of the English language I can think of right now is not exactly a typo, but something that always makes me smile to remember it. The very sweet owner of a Chinese restaurant near where I used to work would tell customers to "have a sit."
Have you ever spotted a typo in a book?
All the time. I'm amazed at some of the mistakes that get by editors these days.
Some of the most brilliant people I know are poor spellers. Are you a good speller?
Yes, she admitted modestly. *blushing*

FOOD QUESTIONS - OH BOY!

Have you / do you ever make gravy from scratch? If so, how do you make it?
Yes, I have. I use the roasting pan and put it on two burners of the stove. I blend some fat from the meat or poultry with a roux that I've made in advance, blend in meat juices or prepared broth, whisk while the mixture cooks and thickens, then season with salt and pepper and maybe some browning sauce or Worcestershire.
When was the last time you ate pizza, and what toppings were on it?
It was about a month ago, I think. I had it with prosciutto, artichokes, mushrooms, olives, mozzarella and tomato sauce.
When you use whipped cream (not "topping" from a tub), do you use whipped cream from an aerosol can or do you whip cream yourself?
I prefer to whip it myself.
Have you ever whipped cream too long and accidentally tuned it to butter?
No, but I've had a couple of close ones where it turned a bit funky in texture.
Doughnuts: plain or filled?
I like both.
Cupcakes: plain or frosted?
Definitely frosted.
Hot cocoa: with or without whipped cream (or marshmallows)?

Without, but now and then I enjoy a few baby marshmallows in it. What I enjoy even more is a jolt of Kahlua.

JUST FOR FUN

Have you ever entered something in a county fair?
No
Have you ever won a trophy or a ribbon?
No

When you were a kid, could you do a:
  • cartwheel?
  • summersault?
  • backward summersault?
  • handstand?

None of the above.

Can you do any of those things now?

Not then, not now, not ever!


Thanks, Pam! Great job!
