1) What kind of toppings do you like on your hot dogs? I love the hot dogs at college football games w/ the sauerkraut and sauce that I have no clue what it is. Sometimes I like to have a chilli cheese dog and sometimes I like it w/ ketchup, mustard, onions and sauerkraut. I love hot dogs
2) What color is your toothpaste? Since I'm an extreme couponer (not as extreme as the TV show) it varries by what I pull out of my stock pile. I'm really liking my current tothpaste which is green w/ sparkles in it.
3) Can you wiggle your ears? I just tried and I can my right but not my left.
4) Do you feel younger or older than your real/legal age? I've always been more mature for my age. All my friends are several years older than me. But the older I get the more I think I grow into my age.
5) Are you an organ donor? why or why not? Yes, it would be nice to help save someone else's life.
6) Have you ever used someone elses toothbrush unintentionally? intentionally? I unintentionally used DH's toothbrush once. For some reason this really grosses me out.
7) Do you prefer a straw in your drinks? I use a straw in just about everything I drink.
8) Did you ever go to summer (sleep-away) camp? I never went to a summer camp but I have been to shorter camps before.
9) What is the last sporting event you watched in person? I guess that would have been the Kansas City Chiefs football game back in December.

3) Can you wiggle your ears? no
4) Do you feel younger or older than your real/legal age? younger - Im a total kid at heart.

6) Have you ever used someone elses toothbrush unintentionally? intentionally? I've used my husbands before, no worries. In college occasionally my roommates and i would share a toothbrush.

8) Did you ever go to summer (sleep-away) camp? I stayed at an overnight camp in brownies. That was it.
