1.) Are you a cat person or dog person?If I have to choose, cat. Not a big animal person.
2.) Worst thing you've ever smelled? Dead body that had been there for a couple months. . . it was August or September
3.) Kool Aid or Crystal Lite? Crystal Lite

(I know, a bit TMI)
3.) Kool Aid or Crystal Lite? Wow, I haven't had Kool Aid in years (you are so bringing back memories). I would have to say Kool Aid growing up but Crystal Lite now as an adult - although I'd probably choose water over both.
4.) Margaritas - on the rocks (w/ or w/out salt?) or frozen? Both - depending on my mood.
5.) Most annoying sound (nails on chalkboard, etc.) Definitely the nail on the chalkboard...and the sound of a sandal or flip-flop hitting the back of the heel as you walk.

2.) Worst thing you've ever smelled? My DH likes to buy turkey meet from discount amish stores. It comes frozen and is the most stomach turning shade of gray. When he cooks it I have to leave the house because it smells so horrible. Sometimes I really wish he was not such a cheap skate.
3.) Kool Aid or Crystal Lite? Crystal Lite
4.) Margaritas - on the rocks (w/ or w/out salt?) or frozen? On the rocks with salt.
