Question of the Day - Final Question

Question of the Day - Final Question

On September 24, 2008, I saw an ad on Craigslist for a Question of the Day blogger. That same day I posted my very first Question and haven’t stopped since.

I can’t believe it’s been almost two years since I posted my first Question. A lot of things happened since that day; some really amazing, wonderful things and some experiences that were incredibly painful.

To say that I learned a lot in the course of doing this blog is such an insane understatement. It’s less about my day-to-day life changing and more about my mindset evolving.

So it’s with many emotions that I say good bye to Question of the Day. Please know that I have put a lot of time into this decision. I’d like to come back from time to time with a question or two. (Gotta keep you guys on your toes.) As hard as this is, I believe it’s time to move on.

I keep in touch with so many of you now and I hope that continues for a long time. And I truly wish you all the very best.

My favorite part about asking these Questions was, without a doubt, all of you. I like that I could ask a seemingly inane question about your favorite movie, favorite vegetable, best song, etc., and get all of these amazing responses. And yes, I even loved when you guys went off subject and started talking back and forth. If answering a question on a blog gave someone a chance to speak up for themselves then I’m happy and proud I could be part of that.

So I’m going to leave you with one final Question. It might be a tad bit philosophical and/or vague, but as always, answer in any way you see fit.

Thank you for being part of my life!

Question of the Day: What have you learned?

Question of the Day - Favorite Fish

Question of the Day - Favorite Fish

So I'm back from vacation. Le sigh. But it was a wonderful, relaxing time. I got a ton of sun, read books on my beachchair while sitting in the ocean and ate a ton of seafood. (I was at the beach for those who didn't know.)

I love seafood and could seriously eat fish every single day. While I delighted in my fish food, my vegetarian BFF asked me which fish is my favorite. Tough one.

Question of the Day: What is your favorite fish?

Question of the Day - Celebrity Crush

Question of the Day - Celebrity Crush

Leonardo DiCaprio, Jonathan Brandis, Sawyer from Lost and of course Zack Morris. Over the years, there have been many hours devoted to the yumminess of certain celebrity crushes.

But it all started with Kirk Cameron. That's right - Mike Seaver. Oh how I loved him! And it didn't even have to be "a very special episode of" Growing Pains. Le sigh...

Question of the Day - Fav. Takeout

Question of the Day - Fav. Takeout

I’m lucky to live near many varieties of takeout cuisine. Here are some of my favs.

I enjoy pad se ew with beef from the Thai place. I can always go for pizza with extra cheese and anchovies. And while I used to heart General Tso’s chicken from the Chinese place, I’ve gone healthy. I now like the steamed chicken (and/or shrimp) and veggies. Yum yum.

Question of the Day - Refrigerator

Question of the Day - Refrigerator

While visiting my brother one time, I woke up hungry. Imagine that! Well aware that I was in a guy’s apartment, I opened the refrigerator expecting to be less than impressed. But my brother really took it to a whole new level.

Hands down the cleanest refrigerator I have ever seen. 1 bottle of Gatorade, a couple bottles of water and batteries. That was it! No takeout containers, no condiments, no edible products of any kind.

Question of the Day: What are 3 things you always have in your refrigerator?

Question of the Day - Beach Sports

Question of the Day - Beach Sports

Every year when we go to the beach, I sit in my beach chair reading my Nora Roberts book (ohhhhh joy!), sipping my mixed berry wine cooler and I’m insanely happy. But I have to admit something.

Every once in awhile my eye is drawn up to the sky as someone flies over the ocean attached to a parachute and boat. Parasailing – that’s something I’ve always wanted to do.

Question of the Day: Have you ever been scuba diving, snorkeling or parasailing?

Question of the Day - 2010 Movies

Question of the Day - 2010 Movies

I would really like to see that movie, Letters to Juliet. The Universe thinks otherwise.

I was supposed to see it with my friend, A. But then we were too tired and missed it. I then tried to see it on a Friday with my Mom. Didn't happen. We tried to get up early on Sunday to see it. Didn't happen.

Then the Universe really stepped it up. My Mom dragged my Dad out to go see it. They get to the theater and the air conditioning was broken in the specific theater showing Letters to Juliet. Only that theater. Coincidence? I think not.

Universe = 1. Kerri & Kerri's Mom = 0. Well played, Universe, well played.

Question of the Day: What has been your favorite movie of 2010 so far?

Question of the Day - Kitchen Gadget

Question of the Day - Kitchen Gadget

I love shopping! But every now and then, I don’t enjoy it quite as much: the store is crowded, the sales person is rude, a child is screaming, the price is beyond my salary, etc.

However, there are a couple of things that I never seem to get tired of shopping for: books and accessories come to mind. But I could also spend a whole bunch of time in a cooking-related store. I will never get enough of mini spatulas, brightly-colored teapots or hand juicers.

Question of the Day: What is your favorite kitchen gadget?

Question of the Day - Healthy Trail Mix

Question of the Day - Healthy Trail Mix

My family goes (or tries to go) to the beach every year. One year my Mom made this new snack to bring to the beach, which we call “Healthy Trail Mix.

“Healthy Trail Mix” consists of peanut butter chips, M&Ms, peanuts, raisins and Apple Cinnamon Cheerios. It tastes even better (and healthier) when you leave it out in the sun and it mushes together in one glob of “healthy” goodness

Question of the Day: What is your favorite thing to eat at the beach (or pool or lake)?

 

*Kerri Note: I will be at a work conference for Day Job this Thursday and Friday. I’ll return with new questions on Monday. Have a great weekend, everyone!

Question of the Day - Pump Up Song

Question of the Day - Pump Up Song

I believe I’ve mentioned this in the past but I thought I would share again. I heart Star Wars. I heart everything about it. Especially the music.

When I was young and a competitive figure skater, I really wanted to go to the Olympics. And my gold-medal winning performance would have been to the opening theme of Star Wars. Today, when the Star Wars song comes on my ipod while I’m running at the gym, I go through my program in my mind. And sometimes, I even tear up a little at the end. I mean, it’s not every day you win a pretend gold medal at the Olympics.

Question of the Day: What song pumps you up?

Question of the Day - Lost

Question of the Day - Lost

For those that don't know, last night was the series finale of Lost. I am a huge Lost fan so it was a big night for me.

There's something emotional about certain tv shows ending. You're happy they're over but it's really sad to see these characters go.

(I suggest that we not go into the details of last night's Lost, just in case some people out there haven't had a chance to watch it yet.)

Question of the Day - Braces

Question of the Day - Braces

I did not have braces growing up, but I desperately wanted them. Looking back, I see the absurdity in this. But let me tell you that in fourth grade when all the popular girls got their braces and had different color rubber bands that matched their outfits, they seemed pretty damn awesome.

(Instead, I would stretch my gum out over my front teeth and pretend. Sigh.)

Question of the Day: Did you wear braces?

Question of the Day - Hotdog or Hamburger

Question of the Day - Hotdog or Hamburger

I am not a vegetarian. I am a meat-a-saurus. Give me some hamburgers, steak, pork or chicken. However, I do not like hotdogs.

I know, weird right. But I’ve just never liked the taste. In high school when we had any type of cookout they would only have hotdogs. So my bff (veggie-saurus) and I would just put chips on our hotdog buns. Yum yum.

Question of the Day: What do you prefer, hamburgers or hotdogs?

Question of the Day - Hotel Chain

Question of the Day - Hotel Chain

Almost every year, my family goes on vacation. Often times, we drive the majority of the trip one day, stay over night and finish the drive the next morning. The place we stay is one of those small cities right off the highway with a bunch of hotels.

Every year, my Dad makes us stay in the same hotel. And every year, we HATE it! It is the WORST hotel EVER! He pretends it’s a different one than the year before, we believe him and we all get cranky after a full day in the car. Ah, vacation….

Question of the Day: What is your favorite hotel chain?

Question of the Day - Competitive

Question of the Day - Competitive

I like to play this game when I’m on the treadmill at the gym. I pretend I’m competing with the other runners around me. As they finish their workout and leave, I win. Because I outran them.

Some might say it’s not fair because “technically” they don’t know we are playing this game. But I think deep down they do know. And they still lose!

Not that I’m competitive or anything.

Question of the Day: Are you competitive?

*Reminder: Do not click on links you see in comments. We have a spambot on the lose and who knows where that link will lead.

Question of the Day - Languages

Question of the Day - Languages

At my recent work conference, a French man approached me. He wanted to talk about the magazine where I work but unfortunately, his English was very limited. No problem! I took 4 years of French in high school and 2 years in college – one of those years was intensive French. I got this.

Er, not quite. French in Action (our crazy French-learning series) clearly did not prepare me to talk advertising and the defense industry with an actual French person.

Question of the Day - Annoying Cell Phones

Question of the Day - Annoying Cell Phones

Has this scenario ever happened to you? You use a public bathroom and someone comes in after you. As they enter the stall and you are doing your thing, you realize they are talking on their cell phone. Awkward!

Do you keep doing your thing? Do you flush? Will the person on the other end of the cell phone hear the flush? Do they really need to DO THAT and talk on their cell phone at the same time? These are the questions of modern times.

Question of the Day: Where is the most annoying place you've seen/heard someone on a cell phone?

Question of the Day - Fridays

Question of the Day - Fridays

I am posting today's (Friday) Question a little early because I am going on a quick two day trip. Next week I have a big conference for work so I thought it would be nice to get away and clear my head before it starts. (Don't worry, Question of the Day will continue during my conference.)

But today's Question is all about Question of the Day. Fridays are an interesting day to post. Many people start their weekend a little early and responses can be sparse. At the same time, by Monday morning there can be quite a few comments since people have the entire weekend to answer. So, my Question is...

Question of the Day: Should I post Questions on Fridays?

Question of the Day - Coupons

Question of the Day - Coupons

There is a certain clothing store that I heart. (Those who know me in 3-D life know exactly what place I'm talking about.) But as much as I love them, they are also diablo. Here's their evil plot:

I go to the store and they are having a sale so I buy lots of stuff. When I go to pay, they attach these coupons to my receipt for a future sale. So I go back during the next sale dates and once again special, enticing, delicious coupons are attached to my receipt.

I mean, what am I to do? Not go to the sale? Be rude? I don't think so!

Question of the Day: Are you a coupon user?

*Thanks Mom for the Q-suggestion.
