If you've got a few hours at home to yourself and nothing required to do, how do you use the time?

What is this extra time you speak of? Do other people have this?

-If I did have extra time I would probably watch Netflix and be wondering what I was forgetting to do the whole time.

Unsweetened + lemon. Sometimes I will add a little sugar though - you know, if I'm feeling crazy.

Did I pass the test?

How do you organize your closet? By type? Color? Sleeve/pant length?

I do my best to organize by type (work clothes/running clothes/other) and by sleeve/pant length within that category. I am about 75% successful.

Do crockpot meals count?  Easy is good.  Short prep time & easy clean up. DH is a pretty good cook though so he helps a lot too.

What is your fave current TV show, if you watch? Fave of all time?

Favorite now would be The Walking Dead. I only watch on Netflix though so I am a season behind. Season 6 comes out tomorrow. I can't wait. 

My favorites of all time are Friends & NCIS.

If you were given an entire day to yourself, and X amount of money (listed below) that you absolutely had to spend on yourself only that day, what would you do/buy?

$25

$100

$500

This is a tough question.

$25 - Grab a bottle of tequila and make margaritas with friends
$100 - A massage
$500 - I need some new clothes so I would probably go shopping.

I had no idea so I took a quiz.  

Results = "You're the pig! You like to sleep or eat. Not being stereotypical, though. Hehe. You're most likely not overweight but sometimes get angry when people upset you. You get over it easily and go back to what you were going to do."

I like your commitment to answering these questions. 

[honda13]

How do you feel about cats?

Do you have an appreciation for the art of gifs?

Is it pop or soda?

[saltandvinegar]

honda13,

Cats - I like them. I tried to talk DH into getting one last night actually (the neighbor has kittens) but he is allergic so I pretty much knew I didn't stand a chance.

gifs - I appreciate them but I will need to increase my skillset

Pop.

saltandvinegar, Claritin exists. Just sayin'...

[saltandvinegar]

icedtea, - I'm not sure the battle is worth it for me. I would never hear the end of it from DH.

I was going to say, that my husband used to be allergic to cats - when I just had one cat when we moved in together, then I got another cat, and he is no longer allergic to cats. 

(I understand that some people's allergies are more severe.)

Maybe he just said he was allergic but then gave up when it wasn't working?   DH does have pretty severe allergies but the kittens are soooo cute. There's a white and grey one with blue eyes. I love him already.

Shooot, mayyyyybee. 

Haha, no, he was taking allergy meds when we met (not just for being allergic to cats) but he was able to stop taking them a few years after we met. I think some allergies can come and go, but I like to say that I cured him with my cat immersion therapy. 

ETA: White and grey kitten with blue eyes sound heavenly! 

[marshian]

PirateCat - Pretty suspect to go from allergic to not.

icedtea - I'm allergic and Claritin won't touch it. When I visit my parents, who have one cat, I have to start taking it a week in advance, then add in Benadryl at night, but by the second night (if I sleep at their place), I'm wheezing and need an inhaler. Wheezing by the fourth day if I don't sleep at their place. It's really sad, because their cat is super sweet.

Meant to add: However, my mom says she was allergic but is not anymore (unless it's spring when the cat seems to shed a winter coat of sorts). So maybe it's possible to grow out of them.

[marshian]

saltandvinegar - Pop? You said you're in Ohio, right? That's where I first heard that term. I grew up in FL. It's all Coke (even if it's Pepsi). Haha.

[marshian]

saltandvinegar - Favorite color? Any particular reason?

[PirateCat]

marshian, I am telling you it was a true miracle brought on by the power of sheer cuteness of cats!

But really, his allergies were pretty mild, nothing like what you're describing, and pretty well-managed by allergy meds and occasional bathing of the cats (true love on my part). And he truly loves those cats.
