My answers:

What is the one food that absolutely grosses you out? Oysters. GAG. Never getting me to try one!

Your most/least favorite household chore? I actually don't mind doing laundry, but I HATE ironing. I make dh take his shirts to the cleaners for that. I love to vacuum.

Would you prefer a vacation to the beach or to the mountains? Beach. Always. Love the beach.

Do you like to stay home or go out? I'd almost always rather stay home, except for eating. I love eating in restaurants, but then I'd prefer curling up in bed to read/watch a movie/whatever. Out dancing? No way.

What was your high school GPA? 2.8... I was a total clown. Haha.

Do you do for a living what you thought you would in HS/College? Looorrddd no. I wanted to be an elementary school teacher. Then I had kids. Woo no. lol

If you could change one thing on your body, what? I've always hated my nose. Swore if I could ever afford to fix it, I would. Now that I can, I can't bring myself to do it, because my husband says it's what first attracted him to me. Doh. He said it was fine if I wanted to change it, but I felt bad.

Person you most wish you could have dinner with? (Can be real or fictional, alive or dead) Of course my grandmother, who I dearly dearly miss. But I wouldn't turn Johnny Depp down.

If you could pick your first name right now, what would you choose? Geez, I dunno. Who made up these questions? In college I wanted to change it to Johanna. What's up with that? No idea. I would like something girlier, but I'm not sure what. Maybe Adia, since I wanted to name my daughter that but my ex was not having it.

Number of questions I can ask before you become really annoyed? :giggle That last one about the name did it. ;)
 
Yucky! Ice Storms are the worse! Take care and keep warm!

What is the one food that absolutely grosses you out? Green Peas

Your most/least favorite household chore? Laundry...particularly folding the laundry

Would you prefer a vacation to the beach or to the mountains? Beach as I love the warm sunshine

Do you like to stay home or go out? Depends on my mood. With the rain and storms, I prefer just to stay home

What was your high school GPA? Average...I did bump it up in college though

Do you do for a living what you thought you would in HS/College? No, I thought I would be an airline stewardess but instead I work on servers/computers all day

If you could change one thing on your body, what? My teeth. My parents wanted to put braces on me when I was in high school but I knew they couldn't afford it. Now I wish I had veneers

Person you most wish you could have dinner with? (Can be real or fictional, alive or dead) My paternal grandparents as I never really got to be close to them and I was named after my paternal grandmother

If you could pick your first name right now, what would you choose? Lanie...short for Melanie, instead, I go by Mel

Number of questions I can ask before you become really annoyed? Oh, keep 'em coming! I love to answer questions!
 
They are absolutely GROSS! I can't even stand to smell them and believe it or not, in the 27 years that I've had kids, I never cooked them in my house. My poor sons had to go to my mother's house to eat them!

But Oysters! OMG, they are AWESOME! Love Oysters on the half-shell and in gumbo! SLURP! :D

What is the one food that absolutely grosses you out? Seafood that looks like it's still alive.

Your most/least favorite household chore? I hate them all but dusting most of all because it aggravates my allergies.

Would you prefer a vacation to the beach or to the mountains? Beach

Do you like to stay home or go out? I usually love to go out, but lately I feel like staying home. I think it's a winter thing.

What was your high school GPA? 97.6. I still remember that because I'm a nerd. Would have been higher if it wasn't for those pesky math classes!

Do you do for a living what you thought you would in HS/College? Pretty much! I've wanted to work in newspapers since I was 15. Back then I wanted to be a reporter, but now I'm a designer.

If you could change one thing on your body, what? I wouldn't be so clumsy.

Seafood with the heads still attached. Room temperature bread. Oatmeal. *shudder*

Your most/least favorite household chore?
Does someone really have a most favorite household chore?! :giggle

I guess the 'easiest to tolerate' chore would be cooking. My least favorite chores are cleaning up from cooking and folding clothes.

Would you prefer a vacation to the beach or to the mountains?
Any kind of vacation is fine by me!

Do you like to stay home or go out?
It depends. I'm a major introvert, so I have to have my 'me' time at home, but I like to go out and do fun things with my friends and family.

What was your high school GPA?
3.8

Do you do for a living what you thought you would in HS/College?
I guess so. I always envisioned myself as a mom and a writer. I never envisioned myself with an actual job. Maybe that's why I don't have one?

If you could change one thing on your body, what?
It would be impossible to pick one thing. Let's start with lipo, br*ast reduction, tummy tuck...

Person you most wish you could have dinner with?
My daddy closely followed by C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and L.M. Montgomery. Yes, I'm a nerd. :beat

If you could pick your first name right now, what would you choose?
I would choose the same first name, but I would decapitalize the 'a.' What a PITA that has been my entire life.

Number of questions I can ask before you become really annoyed?
37 give or take. :giggle
 
The snow/ice mix is over for us and I don't think it got too bad out thank goodness :)

What is the one food that absolutely grosses you out? Italian sausage, yuck! I think it's the little seed-like spice in them that repulses me, but I really don't care for any other kind of sausage or processed meats either.

Your most/least favorite household chore? dishes. They never end and we don't use anything disposable.

Would you prefer a vacation to the beach or to the mountains? def the beach. beach=relaxing mountains=work

What was your high school GPA? not sure, but I'm thinking it was above average. We only had about 120 in my class though.

Do you do for a living what you thought you would in HS/College? I always wanted to be a teacher, but was scared I would get burnt out on kids and not want to have my own. I'm glad I'm a SAHM instead :)

If you could change one thing on your body, what? I'm alright with the way I am, although it wouldn't hurt to have the girls a little higher :giggle
