Kerri's Questions

Question of the Day - Cereal

Kerri — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 14:48:25 GMT

(Today's Question was a special request from dgenemore - she was very curious as to all of your answers.)

My mom is one of the few people I know who enjoys soggy cereal. Her usual routine is to mix a little granola with whatever cereal she is having, pour the milk and then walk away from the bowl for awhile.

My dad likes to mix as many cereals as humanly possible. He says this is to use up that last little bit that is in each box. My mom calls him a martyr.

Question of the Day: What is your favorite cereal?

I opened up a box of cereal and a vote for Writergrrl fell out. Funny how these things happen....

Question of the Day - Sleepy

Kerri — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 16:24:30 GMT

I'm sorry today's question is late. (I'm talking to you, Bathhouse.) I got to work very late today because I got up very late today. The main culprit is that I'm not getting enough sleep this week.

Yes, at first it was my fault because I got sucked into my Nora Roberts book and chose to stay up very late reading. But after that, I guess my body was mourning the end of a good book and refuses to fall asleep.

The worst is when you keep looking at the clock thinking, "if I fall asleep right now, I will still get 3 hours of sleep ... 2.5 hours ... 2 hours...."

Question of the Day: What helps you fall asleep?

While I was tossing and turning, I thought about how I love voting for Writergrrl!

Question of the Day - Clutter

Kerri — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:09:49 GMT

I only subscribe to the Sunday paper, rather than the entire week. There are a couple reasons why.

1. I like to leisurely read it throughout the entire week. (Read: it takes me the whole week to go through it.)

2. During the week I am very busy watching tv, reading People, Glamour, whatever book I have, happy hour, blogging, etc.

3. The clutter that one day's paper produces is enough to make my small apartment look like disaster area.

Question of the Day: How do you keep clutter under control?

You know what's clutter-free? Voting for Writergrrl.

Question of the Day - Really Good Book

Kerri — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 14:47:28 GMT

Last night I did something I haven't done in a long time. I kept the tv off (shock) and read a book. I also managed to turn my brain off and therefore didn't stress out about anything.

Escaping into someone else's world is sooooo nice! Naturally, I took this a bit too far and stayed up super late and am now very tired. But still, isn't getting absorbed into a really good book such a great feeling!

Question of the Day: What was the last book you just couldn't put down?

The character in my book told me to vote for Writergrrl. So I did.

Question of the Day - Child Stars

Kerri — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 14:31:46 GMT

Jodie Sweetin, or Stephanie from Full House, was on the Today Show this morning. She has a book out about her struggles with alcohol and drugs.

I always had an affection for Stephanie Tanner. How could you not? She was this cute little kid with curly hair and the catchphrase of "How rude!" But for me, I think I really related to her close relationship with Mr. Bear.

(If you didn't watch Full House, you will have no idea what I'm talking about!)

Question of the Day: Past or present, who is your favorite child star?

Stephanie Tanner voted for Writergrrl today - have you?

Question of the Day - Scary Movie

Kerri — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 14:11:11 GMT

I remember the first time I ever watched The Exorcist that I thought I would never want to be anywhere near something like that. Then I decided to go to college at Georgetown.

For those unaware, a lot of the movie The Exorcist was filmed at Georgetown. "The Exorcist Steps," the long staircase used near the end of the movie, are right off campus. A lot of the sports team use those stairs for conditioning.

And even more drunk kids try to climb them while intoxicated. Doesn't help that at the very bottom sits a liquor store. ;-)

Happy Halloween everyone!!!

Question of the Day: What is the scariest movie you've ever seen?

I voted for Writergrrl today and then all my Halloween dreams came true!

Question of the Day - Halloween Candy

Kerri — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:58:52 GMT

GNO is tonight - hoorah! I encourage all to stop by, have a virtual drink and get your chat on!

I have to keep it brief today. I think we all know by now how I feel about candy corn and candy corn pumpkins. Yes, I have pledged my undying devotion to these concoctions of sugary goodness. I love them so much, that I am wearing candy corn earrings today. Must stay away from mirrors so as not to eat my own earlobe.

Question of the Day: What is your favorite Halloween candy?

Writergrrl now has over 500 votes. If she gets 100 more votes today, Nature Made is sending me 77 bags of candy corn pumpkins. (That is a complete lie but wouldn't it be so awesome if it were true!)

Question of the Day - Stephen King

Kerri — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 13:58:46 GMT

Whether someone's ankles are getting hobbled or two creepy twins are lingering around an even creepier hotel, Stephen King has generated many of my worst nightmares. So he's perfect for Halloween week!

I've never liked clowns. Pretty much from infancy, they have scared the bejesus out of me. But Stephen really solidified that fear with a certain knife-wielding clown in It. Yeah, you all know what I'm talking about.

One time in high school, a boy was trying to impress me in that stupid way teenage boys have by saying that he had watched the movie Carrie and it reminded him of me. Hmmm. My name is spelled with a K and no one has ever thrown a tampon at me so I don't really see the similarity.

Question of the Day: What is your favorite Stephen King novel and/or movie?

Have you voted for Writergrrl? I did and then I won a car!!! (Sometimes I lie. This is one of those times.)

Question of the Day - Unique Halloween Costumes

Kerri — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:20:45 GMT

It's Halloween week here at Question of the Day. Some of these questions might be repeats of last year's Halloween week but I didn't think you'd mind. Have a spooky day and Happy Halloween!!!

I'm pretty simplistic when it comes to Halloween costumes. Throw on a black dress, a pointed hat, paint my nails black and call me a witch. Or use the dance stuff I already own and go as a belly dancer.

So I really love when people take their costumes above and beyond. I'm looking forward to seeing what this year brings.

Question of the Day: What is an unique Halloween costume that you've seen, or worn?

I voted for Writergrrl today - twice!

Question of the Day - Marathon

Kerri — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 13:40:33 GMT

As many of you know, I live in the DC area. Yesterday brought us the annual Marine Corps Marathon. I had several friends run in it so I would like to give them a big shout out of congratulations!!!

I've never run a marathon and not to put myself down, but I don't think I could run a marathon. I mean, I run about 3-5 miles almost every day at the gym but something about the idea of an entire marathon scares the crap out of me. Although, I bet if I did run a marathon I could eat like six bags of candy corn. Hmmmmm...

Question of the Day: Have you ever, or would you ever, run a marathon?

Have you voted for Writergrrl today?

Question of the Day - Worst Subject

Kerri — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:58:14 GMT

I was forced to take philosophy in college. I think I may have went into the class thinking it might be cool. But I quickly learned that philosophy is definitely not my bag.

The professor was always asking me questions like, "What are you? Are you a being? If you are a being, where should you be?"

SHUT UP! I know I should not BE in this damn class.

Question of the Day: What was your worst school subject?

Question of the Day - Favorite Color

Kerri — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 13:45:19 GMT

One of my favorite parts of Monty Python and the Holy Grail is the scene at the Bridge of Death. For those not familiar, in order to cross the Bridge of Death, the Bridgekeeper has to ask you three questions. If you get one wrong, you fall off the bridge.

When Galahad's turn comes, he gets his first two questions right - What is your name and What is your quest? But then it's time for the third question.

Bridgekeeper: What ... is your favorite color?

Galahad: Blue. No, yell... (And over the side he goes.)

Question of the Day: What is your favorite color?

I was vote #343 for Writergrrl this morning? What number were you?

Question of the Day - Best Boss

Kerri — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 13:24:27 GMT

I don't like to talk too much about Day Job but today there is something I would like to share. This afternoon I am attending a lunch for our Executive Director who basically just got axed by our evil members. Ah, the life and lame politics of a nonprofit organization.

It's a bad economic climate for so many people and we are no exception. We haven't had raises or cost of living increases in two years. Morale is way down. Despite that, our Executive Director has done his best to make it a pleasant working environment. He's a great guy and he will be sorely missed. And I shudder to think what is going to happen once he's gone.

Question of the Day: Who is/was the best boss you ever worked for?

Question of the Day - Irresistible Food

Kerri — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:17:46 GMT

I love candy corn! I may have talked about this before. I'm not usually a candy or sweets kind of person. My taste typically runs more to the salty side.

But oh sweet candy corn, how I love thee. And what is that? Candy corn pumpkin things - I love you too! Morning, afternoon or night, I can eat my beloved candy corn and/or candy corn pumpkins! However, I do not love candy corn with brown on the top. Yuck!

This is why I gain weight every October. Sigh...

Question of the Day: What food do you have the most trouble resisting?
