what a memey Saturday

Yeah, I know. But I worked ALL DAY. It was a good day, but I'm tired, and I need sleep, and I'll think of something better and more original later. Plus, you guys know how much I love memes. Feel free to post your own answers in the comments section, or laugh about how terribly unfashionable I am.

A) What accessories do you wear everyday?
Usually just my wedding rings. When I remember, I'll wear stud earrings to work, cool earrings when I go out. That's about it.

B) What is your beauty routine?
Wow. Just thinking about this makes me realize how un-beauty-routiney I am. Suave shampoo & conditioner, dollop of Big Hair mousse, blow dry, round brush to smooth out. Bare Minerals make-up (THE best!) when I do wear make up: the powder foundation, blush, touch of eye shadow in some neutral color, black mascara, lip gloss. No perfume, as I can't wear it at work and so I forget to wear it when I'm not at work. When I remember, Aveeno SPF 15 brightening moisturizer before all of the makeup, or just on its own. And when I'm breaking out like a teenager - like I am, freakishly and suddenly these days - Neutrogena Acne Spot treatment. And a whole lot of prayer.

C) What was the last item of clothing (for yourself) that you purchased?
Very cute but very thin t-shirt that has a hand drawn flowering tree that says "fruits of the spirit". You can see right through it, so I have to wear something underneath. But it's very cute.

D) Do you use a dresser, closet, or both?
Both. It's a built-in dresser in the wall, too, which totally saves on space. The closet is pretty roomy, too.

E) What type of earrings are in your ears right now?
None. Sigh. I always forget.

F) What type of figure do you have (measurements)?
I am NOT giving out numbers, but I can tell you that I'm more of an apple shape than the traditional pear womanly shape. And I'm smaller than I have been in a long, long time, ironically, even though I gave birth 3 months ago. Weird, but nice.

G) Do you wear glasses?
Nope. Blessed with perfect vision.

H) What type of handbag do you carry?
This ratty green canvas thing that probably should have been replaced years ago. But I love it.

I) What is your ideal style?
Ideal? Someone would videotape me for What Not to Wear, I would get chosen, and then Stacy would help me pick out a gorgeous, classic, slightly funky new wardrobe. This is a hint to all my friends to get their video cameras, okay?

J) What is your favorite brand of jeans?
Old Navy. They always fit perfectly (as long as I pick the right size) and they make 'em in short lengths.

K) Do you wear knee-hi stockings?
Ugh. NEVER.

L) Do you *have* to wear matching lingerie?
This survey is getting more and more embarrassing. I don't even call it "lingerie", if that answers the question. Matching? No. Clean? Yes. Clean. That's about as far as I take it.

M) Do you wear makeup?
When I'm onstage, on a date with the hubs, on an interview, or am going to visit people who will ask me several times if I'm "feeling okay" and tell me how pale I am if I do not wear makeup.

N) Do you wear nightgowns?
Yes - short cotton stretchy ones that my husband thinks I look totally hot in. And they're way comfy.

O) What outerwear do you put on when going out on a typical winter's day?
Winter? What's that? Okay, I do find myself in cold weather, so my charcoal grey peacoat, long oversized pink scarf tied in a cool knot, charcoal grey gloves if I need them. I usually don't need more than that.

P) What is your favorite perfume?
Clinique Simply was my all-time favorite, but they discontinued it. Boo. Thierry Mugler's Angel, Elizabeth Arden Pleasures, and Bath & Body Works' Mango Mandarin body spray round out the ones I can still buy.

Q) Is your motto "quality over quantity" when it comes to clothing and accessories?
Absolutely.

R) Do you wear rain boots?
Nope.

S) Do you wear socks or slippers when your feet get cold?
Socks... but I am a Florida girl, so my feet are forever in flip-flops. No socks needed.

T) Do you have a set of travel luggage?
I do, but it was some cheapo set I picked up on clearance at Target. Not very fashionable.

U) What is your daily uniform?
Jeans, t-shirt. In colder weather, I am totally doing the long-tshirt-under-short-tshirt look with jeans. Sometimes, I'll add a jacket. Or I'll just be wearing scrubs.

V) If you are married, did you wear a veil with your wedding dress? If not, how did you do your hair?
Married. Did the half-up, half-down deal with my hair, and wore a beautiful custom-made veil with it.

W) Do you wear a watch?
Cheap pink plastic watch from Target only when I'm at work.

X) What item of clothing always makes you feel beautiful?
A burgundy dress with large lighter-burgundy flower print on it - high neck, drapey back. It's my perfect dress-up dress, except for that a) the hem just started to come loose and b) I've worn it so much that it's lost its appeal, I think. Need to find a new dress.

Y) What is your favorite type of yarn?
Cashmere, what Kathleen said.

Z) Do you prefer zippers or buttons?
Zippers, please.
