Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. Your favorite chocolate treat?

I pretty much like it all.  The Chocolate Extreme Blizzard is pretty high up there.  It would be my favorite chocolate ice cream treat.  My favorite candy would have to be Hershey's Kisses if we're talking milk chocolate.  As far as dark chocolate is concerned, I love Ghirardelli Espresso Escape chocolate squares, which are really hard to find, and not advised for use by pregnant women.  Delicious, though.

2. What more than anything else makes you feel loved?

When someone buys something or even sends me a picture of something just because it made them think of me.  It doesn't have to be anything expensive, just something they know I would like--like the picture I got yesterday from Julia of the See's Candy display.

3. Cherries or blueberries?

Cherries--fresh bing cherries in the summer time.

4. What is the one trait you most want the leader of your country to posess?

I hate politics, honestly.  Is conservative-ism a trait?  Because I definitely want them to be conservative.

5. Are you a saver or a spender?

I try and try to be a saver--I really do.  But I'm not.  I'm absolutely a spender.  I will say that I am better at saving money when it comes in a large chunk--like a tax return or bonus.  I will usually have plans for every dollar of it before it hits my bank account, and I tend to save a lot of it.  My paychecks are another story.

6. If you gave a party for all of your friends would they already know each other?

No way.  In the past 10 years, I have lived in five different states (KS, IL, MO, SC, VA), and nine different residences, and I have been attached to six different duty stations.  It's impossible for them all to know each other.  But they would probably all get along, and they would have a great time at the party.

7. Are you interested in antiques?

The concept of antiquing and restoring old pieces is interesting to me, but I wouldn't even know where to start, or where I would find the time.  I would prefer to have antiques passed down to me from my family than to go hunt them down myself.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

I'll use this space to promote a good cause.  My good friends Chris and Julia are in the process of adopting a 7-year old girl from Eastern Europe, who has craniofacial dystosis .  If you have the time, please check out their blog.  What they're doing is pretty amazing, and I'm hoping to raise a little awareness for them.
