5 Question Friday With Mama M. (7/29)

It's time for Five Question Friday with Mama M. at My Little Life!  Fun questions this week!  Not that they ever aren't, but I particularly enjoyed a few of these.  Hope everyone had a great week!

1. Did you have a favorite blanket or toy as a kid? If so, do you still have it?

I still sleep with a Shamu stuffed animal that I've had for longer than I can remember.  Shamu wasn't always my favorite (although he was always among my favorites), but he's stuck with me for the longest.  My favorite was a tiny yellow stuffed...puppy, I think, but I was convinced and adamant that it was a kitten...that I called "Meringue," for whatever reason.  Meringue actually belonged to my mom, though, and eventually passed back into her stuffed animal collection.  Meringue now resides happily on the stuffed animal shelf in my parents' computer room.

2. Do you dream in color?

Honestly, I don't know.  My dreams are so hard for me to remember that even if I could remember what they were about, I couldn't tell you whether or not they were in color.

3. How tall are you? Do you wish you were shorter or taller?

I'm between 5'5" and 5'6".  I think it's a good height, and only wish I were taller when I'm sitting in a car and the seat belt is slicing across my neck (why don't they make those for people of average height?) or when someone is calculating my BMI.

4. If you could have anyone's (celeb or other) voice as the guide on your GPS, who would it be?

Hmm.  There are several I'd choose, but each would probably eventually get annoying, so I'd need to be able to rotate through.  The first one that comes to mind is Sean Connery.

5. Do you return your shopping cart to the corral or leave it wherever in the parking lot?

Oh my gosh.  This is SUCH a pet peeve of mine.  I always take it back to the corral...seriously, how hard is it???  Although I'll admit that I'm a little more understanding of the fact that it is harder for some people, like those with multiple small children, than it is for most people.  So if you have a few little toddlers hanging onto you and there are no spaces near a shopping cart corral, and you have to leave it in the space - okay, I can sympathize.  But if you don't have little kids and you just don't feel like making the walk to take it back - seriously?  That is really inconsiderate...not only of the people whose cars are going to get scratched by them, or the people who can't park in that space because the cart rolled a few feet and now it's blocked, but also the poor employees who are going to have to trudge all over the parking lot, rounding up stray carts.  Come on.  Have some consideration of others, please?
