Monday Quiz About Me - Back to School Edition

Welcome to Monday Quiz About Me - hosted by Heather & Wayne from Acting Balanced. We are continuing to answer questions together. Judy from Retired-not-Tired wanted us to reinstate #MQAM, so I challenged her to write this week's questions and she decided to go with a theme... Back to School

Here are FOUR QUESTIONS that everyone can answer and then you have the option to add a fifth question of your own for those who are visiting your blog to answer in the comment section, along with commenting on the four standard questions you answered! Grab the badge for your post if you like:

3. What was your least favourite subject?
4. Who was your favourite teacher?

Our Responses:

1. What was your favourite grade in school?

W - My favorite year was my Junior year of Undergrad - it was the year I came out of my shell and figured what I really wanted to do.

H - Everything I need to know I learned in Kindergarten... nuff said?

2. What was your favourite subject?

W - The most memorable class I took was a Buddist Philosophy class.

H - My favorite class was always history

W - I had one English teacher who ripped the love of reading right out of me... until I took another English class a few years later and fell back in love.

H - Math

4. Who was your favourite teacher?

W - That is an unfair question in a lot of ways - I have had several mentors for vastly different reasons. I have to say that working closely with all three of my thesis/dissertation mentors were the most rewarding relationships - Thanks Laurel, Steve and Babs.

H - I had several teachers I loved - but my favorite year was fourth grade with Mr. Riggs - he was always singing, acting and breathing new life into old routines.

Monday Quiz About Me - What's your favorite junk food?

Welcome to Monday Quiz About Me - hosted by Heather & Wayne from Acting Balanced. We are continuing to answer questions together. A special shout out this week to Judy from Retired-not-Tired for getting Heather off her butt and getting the questions up!

Here are FOUR QUESTIONS that everyone can answer and then you have the option to add a fifth question of your own for those who are visiting your blog to answer in the comment section, along with commenting on the four standard questions you answered! Grab the badge for your post if you like:

Here are the Questions:

1. Today, Monday, is National Junk Food Day - do you eat junk food? Favorites?

2. Some people call this time the "Dog Days of Summer" - is that accurate for you? Why or Why Not?

3. This week also celebrates National Cousins Day - Do you have many cousins? Are you close with your cousins?

4. Are you taking vacation this summer? What are some of your favorite places to go?

Our Responses:

1. Today, Monday, is National Junk Food Day - do you eat junk food? Favorites?

W - I try to avoid junk food, especially since I've been working hard to lose weight - but I am a sucker for Dare Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Cookies and red velvet cake.

H - I am a sucker for red licorice and chai tea lattes...

2. Some people call this time the "Dog Days of Summer" - is that accurate for you? Why or Why Not?

W - Nope - I have no idea what dog days are, but summer is going by quickly. It's more than half over for us.

H - We came to Toronto to escape the heat and humidity that we were living with in Charleston and it has been wonderful! Although we are going to have really hot days a few days this week, so far it's been fabulous.

3. This week also celebrates National Cousins Day - Do you have many cousins? Are you close with your cousins?

W - I have several cousins, but we aren't as close as we used to be, but whenever I make it to Toronto, I try hard to see as many as possible. I also try to keep up with facebook. I keep inviting them to visit Charleston, but no one has taken us up on our offer.

H - I used to babysit almost all of my cousins, but living so far away it's been hard to keep up. Like Wayne, facebook helps - and this visit I got to drop in on my cousin K and got to see my second cousin, not-so-baby B take his first steps and eat his first timbits!

4. Are you taking vacation this summer? What are some of your favorite places to go?

W - For once, my vacation isn't all about working. I am actually taking some time off, more or less. We always visit family, but this time we're also going to spend a few days in Washington, DC. My vacation is making me exhausted though.

H - As Wayne says, I am getting a real vacation this time. We ususally stay half the family at his parents and half at mine, but all the kids want to sleep at Nana and Papa's so I've been the only one sleeping at my parents - it's been nice not to have to deal with the kids waking up in the middle of the night...

And here is our 5th Question: What is your favorite age for a child? Are you a baby person or do you prefer older kids?

Our Responses:

1. It is National Cell Phone Courtesy Month - if you had to share one courtesy that you'd like everyone to show, what would it be?

W - Don't cell phone and drive - don't talk, don't text, don't even look at it!

H - Finish your cellphone calls before you need to interact with people in person - I hate getting in line behind people who talk through lines at the grocery store and other places they should actually interact with live bodies...

2. Today (Monday) is Pandemonium Day! What creates pandemonium in your life?

W - I have three children... they don't all sleep through the night at the same time.

H - Ditto...

3. This week also celebrates National Cavier Day (the 18th) - Have you ever tried cavier? Do you like it?

W - I don't mind cavier - but it has to be the good stuff. Cheap cavier is way too salty.

H - I have to say that cavier is probably one of my least favorite fish products, but used right, it's not bad.

4. My boys are looking forward to next Sunday, National Lollypop Day! What is your favorite lollypop flavor? When was the last time you had a lollypop?

W - I haven't had a lollypop in years. I am on a pretty strict diet right now, so I try not to think of them. My mom says my favorite was tootsie pops when I was a kid.

H - I haven't had one in a while either, but my favorite are sour apple blowpops.

And here is our 5th Question: Do you enjoy exercising? What do you do to keep fit?

4. Are you planning to watch the Baseball post-season? Who will win the World Series?

Our answers:
1. It's Customer Service week - do you think customer service is getting better or worse now than it was five years ago?

W - In Charleston it's always good, but I've noticed that service quality is sliding when I travel. I notice it most when we go home to Toronto.

H - It truly depends on where you go... places that make customer service a priority are certainly keeping the quality up, although some have created such a scripted customer service script that I don't feel unique and valued there... it's a toss up for me.

2. October 1st is also World Vegetarian Day - have you ever spent time as a Vegetarian? Do you have regular meatless meals?

W - my answer:

H - The kids and I often have meatless meals when Wayne works late... but I try to make meat for my guy... heck, Wayne even puts meat on his salads...

3. What reality show would you like to be a part of?

W - I'd love to do the Amazing Race

H - Me too! As long as Wayne does the height/climbing challenges, I'll do the weird food ones...

4. Are you planning to watch the Baseball post-season? Who will win the World Series?
