An oh-look-it's-already-March pop quiz!

1. It's Monday morning. You are a stay-at-home mom who is exhausted from a busy weekend. The kids are off to school and all the animals are sleeping in their respective chairs and/or corners. What do you do?
a) Crawl back into bed while the sheets are still warm.
b) Put some coffee on and watch the news.
c) Pull on the running tights and go for a run.
d) All of the above, in that order.

2. After much concern over changes in income last year, you learn you will receive a sweet chunk o' change by way of a tax refund. How do you use it?
a) Refund? What refund? I don't know nothing about no refund.
b) Finally! Those hardwood floors I've always dreamed of!
c) The responsible thing, of course. It goes in the savings account.
d) Well, spring break is just around the corner ...

3. There is half of a dark chocolate fudge birthday cake with chocolate frosting sitting on the kitchen counter, left over from the weekend. What do you do with it?
a) Eat it.
b) Freeze it.
c) Do not, under any circumstances, lift the foil from the top of the pan to "check" how much cake is left.
d) Throw it away.

4. When you sit down in your favorite chair you see a puff of dust floating up into the air. How do you remedy this?
a) Pull the drapes to block the sunlight.
b) Drag out the upholstery brush for the vacuum.
c) Sit someplace else.
d) Turn on the ceiling fan.

5. You're feeling like your blog needs a photo today but you have no decent pictures from the weekend to post. What do you do?
a) Take a picture of the chocolate cake and post it.
b) Take a picture of the sleeping animals and post it.
c) Post a random picture that's been hanging around for a while waiting for a good reason to use it.
d) Forget the photo. Nobody cares.

The answer to #5 is C, of course. I just love this pic. 

The correct answers to the rest of the questions are relative and depend heavily on what season of life you are in. However, if you answered that you went for a run this morning and threw away the leftover birthday cake, you might have taken a wrong turn in the blogosphere when you really meant to read the daily inspirational musings of someone a bit crunchier than I. Feel free to stick around, though. I'm working on that crunchy part. I can grow my own food and hang my laundry out to dry with the best of 'em.

  1. Normally, I would eat some cake for breakfast, than run extra hard out of guilt, but my stomach would feel terrible from the cake while running, so then I would throw away the rest of the cake and mope the rest of the day. Haha!

    In reality, I slept in a half-hour, ate a good breakfast and ran. And, if I had cake, I'd probably peek at it for lunch. ;)

  2. The majority of our sweet chunk o'change went in to a savings account for a new car. But I did go shopping yesterday and spent more money on clothes for myself than I have in at least 5 years! And I like one pair of pants so much that I'm thinking about going back to get another pair! :-)

  3. Cute post! I would take a picture of the cake, post it to my blog. Eat it and THEN take the nap - No dusting in dreamland.

    Don't judge me... It just stopped being February.

  4. Jess, you are way ahead of me in the crunchy department! All that running ... I admire you for it!

    Camille, I'm thinking some money needs to be set aside for the spring/summer wardrobe here, too. My closet is seriously lacking.

    Thanks, Candy! No judging here. You know I think we were sisters in another life. ;)
