Bob Questions
I usually don’t answer quizzes, but this one just cracks me up. It’s so so Bob. The man knows his brand and he sticks with it.
1. What is your favorite flavor of Pepperidge Farms Goldfish Crackers? Uh, I’ve only had the original. I like plain. Plain everything. Plain potato chips. Plain sandwiches. I don’t like mayonnaise or mustard or lettuce or anything.
2. If you were going to name a beer what would it be? Soda. I want a beer that tastes like soda. I want to seem cool and like an adult but what I really want is a Diet Mountain Dew.
3. Do you find skirts to be acceptable running apparel? Yes! I don’t understand Bob’s fascination with this issue. I guess it’s like my hatred for men wearing running capris. I call them Man-pris. It’s not a good look, men. I would be willing to give up my running skirt if men would not wear capris.
4. Why aren’t more babies named Robert or Roberta? It’s a good name. Can’t argue with you here. I vote for more Roberts in the world.
5. Do you have a change jar filled with too many coins? What do you plan to do about it? I collect money that I find in the laundry. I figure it’s mine. Someday I’ll figure out how much it is but so far I just keep filling the piggy banks.
6. Have you ever been wearing a red shirt and tan pants and been mistaken for a store employee? I do not own tan pants. I do think the stories of people being mistaken for Target employees are funny, so I encourage everyone else to wear tan pants and a red shirt to Target and report back to me.
7. Do you take advantage of Gais’s free clothes dryer and use a clothesline? Eh, I dry fine washables on top of the dryer or on a line in the laundry room, but that’s not the spirit of the question. No, I use the dryer.
8. How is the size of your carbon footprint? Too big, partly driven by my answer to 9.
9. Do you drive a cool car? I have a boring car for everyday stuff and a super fun red Jeep Wrangler that I drive in the summer and to goof around. I love it and it makes me happy when I drive it.
10. If you could do your job from home full time would you be as effective as if you went to the office each day? I’ve been at home since I had kids 23 years ago and it’s not at easy being at home as people think, even without a job. There is always food around, and there are always things to do that make you feel guilty when you aren’t doing them and fun things that make you not want to do chores when you are working. But I love it and am not complaining. I feel very lucky and am my own boss.
11. Is it stressful for you being around relatives and in-laws on holidays? When we had little kids there was an element of stress but now I don’t find it stressful at all. I have pretty low standards when it comes to decorating and holiday making. I let myself off the hook pretty easily.
