When Clothes Become a Liability

Appetizer
Fill in the blank: The best thing about where I live is _________________…

Large scale: The weather is absolutely grand. I soak this stuff up – 3 digit weather tends to get some people all soggy and downtrodden here, but I get soggy and chipper. And then I get heat stroke.

Soup
Create a new name for a deodorant (like “Flower Fresh” or “Shower Scent”).

“I heartily believe that consumerism is a salve for my soul” or “Tree Spirit” – have your pick.

Salad
What was the last piece of software you installed onto your computer?

That’s a good question… I believe it was a program to convert my WMAs for the Chinese program I have to mp3s so that I can listen to it at work.

Main Course
If you were to receive a superlative award today beginning with the words ”Most likely to…”, what would the rest of the phrase say?

Most likely to create a spiritual journey through the seeking of Mexican food and margaritas.

Dessert
What two colors do you like to wear together?

Green and brown. Or blue and brown. Or brown and brown. I like brown. I’m having a phase. Last week it would have been green.
