Nevermind, don’t answer that. I like cheese too much.

B) No
C) Is there any chance Christian Bale is running, cause damn he is Hot.

7. Is it Friday yet?

A) Yes, go home!
B) No, and this is what a five day week is really like. Too bad you forgot since you haven’t worked one since July.

Leave me some answers in the comments. The, ahem, correct answers are after the jump.

  2. first of all, this post was wonderful in so many ways. secondly, i (of course) am probably going to steal it from you. finally, i am commenting you while in the BATH because of my fun new phone! yay!

    p.s. i have a plan. let’s meet this fall and we will both a) lose 10 pounds before meeting or b) say screw it and meet while simultaneously shoving guacamole and margarita into our faces.

  3. also! christian bale is muy, muy delicioso and i pretty much hate heidi and spencer forever. do you think brody was the rumor-spreader? surely not!

  4. Christian Bale is Welsh and so is not eligible to be president, duh!

    He is sexy though, I will give him that.

  5. Woo! House! I am totally delirious right now from the time change and lack of sleep/regular eating habits. Excuse the crazy.

  6. Oooh! Christian Bale is hott! Sorry, I realize that his question was towards the end - but I just don’t remember anything else but Oooh! He’s dreamy!

    Ok, in actuality I am not that shallow… and when the election comes up I will carefully research all the candidates and then vote for the one with the best hair. (wink wink)

    xox

  7. Agreed that C.B. is TASTY, despite occasionally looking a bit gaunt/greasy/CRAZY in his roles and in regular life. Now…what were your questions…oh yes:

    1) I’m totally going for B
    2.) Skip Monday night footbalzzzz, TIVO the Hills and watch Dr. 90210. Who doesn’t like seeing 16 year olds get their already perky boobs done?
    3.) Would *I* ever get plastic surgery? Hell ya, if I had the cash…would YOU? I’d go for “C”, ask me after I’ve had two kids
    4) I like the hypothetical powder room in the modern damask, but with a bit more color. Maybe a bright pink/red/yellow table instead of the black n’ white?
    5) What you need to do is buy a new outfit that makes you LOOK like you lost ten pounds, than go meet the girls. Or, failing that, shoes.
    6) Me: No idea. You: ???
    7) Tuesday IS sort of like my Friday, so I’m saying YES!

    Cheers! PS You owe me a comment from the last post, lol. Have finally stopped neglecting and put a dam post up.

  8. Oh, how much do I wish it were Friday …

  9. 1. Which scenario is more likely to happen tomorrow?

    C) I already own a house and I have my lovely aunt flo this week, so I am already eating ramen noodles and I already popped my zit.

    2. Bad Monday night television. Choose one for each: WATCH - TIVO - SKIP

    A) Monday Night Football - be forced to watch with husband
    B) The Hills - skip
    C) Dr. 90210 - tivo (bc it is probably a rerun I have seen)

    Don’t get rid of the cable. It will be the only entertainment that you can afford. Yes, you will finally watch all those early 90’s movies you have heard about.

    3. Would you ever get plastic surgery?

    I choose a combined b and c. I would love to have the girls rearranged a bit as well and all the hair minus the head removed.

    B) I want it now, please.
    C) Ask me after I have two children and change all my principles.

    4. How should I decorate my future, hypothetical powder room?

    B) Modern b&w damask, seen here.
    I have some of this as an accent in my bedroom and I LOVE IT. Red and black and white damask.

    5. How can I lose 10 pounds before I meet like seven new girlfriends this weekend?
    Exsist on the water and fiber diet. You will be in the bathroom so much ten pounds will feel like nothing.

    6. If the presidential primary were held TODAY in your state, do you know who you would vote for?

    A) Yes
    Let’s just say I am ready for the election to be over with already and we have a year to go!

    7. Is it Friday yet?

    NO! WTF?

  10. Have you seen the new show Greek on ABC Family? It’s so cute - I think that you would love it. You were Greek in school, right? Monday nights at 9pm.

  11. I’m pleased that this year there are actually a FEW candidates that I like. Last time, I wanted to just write “Christian Bale” in the ballot.

    Still, I don’t know for sure who I’ll vote for when the time comes.

  12. 1. B
    2. Skip ALL and eat cheese instead
    3. C
    4. B
    5. One word. Exlax. Or is it two?
    6. A, but now that you mention it, I wouldn’t mind having Batman as President.
    7. Unfortunately, B…but only 3 more days to go!

  13. How can you seriously call “The Hills” bad TV? It’s brilliant. BRILL-IANT. (In a bad kind of way.)

    Also, I think it’s perfectly normal not to know who you’re supporting in the primary yet. Four years ago at this time, many of us normal folks had no idea who your famous BFF H.D. was yet! This primary cycle is bizarre and lasting FOREVER.

  14. Here are my guesses:

    1. B
    2. B - Watch; A - Tivo; C - Skip
    3. B
    4. B
    5. -
    6. C
    7. B

  15. 1. I can’t wait to hear about what actually happens tomorrow! (Unless it’s option A. I don’t really need to hear about that.)
    2. Skip, Skip, Skip
    3. C.
    4. I hear purple with mildew-cleaner-induced green streaks is all the rage these days.
    5. Climb a mountain? Oh, wait, that didn’t work for me either. Maybe if you eat more cheese you’ll figure it out.
    6. B.
    7. I so, so badly wish the answer was A.

  16. Okay, I love 2 buck Chuck, so I’ll be there.

    #2- I have a geyser that’s about ready to go on my chin.

    I love cheese too.

    Where can I get fun license plates?

  17. I’ve loved reading your blog lately, it’s so witty and entertaining! :)
    1. Ramen and Two Buck Chuck is quite alright for a party.
    2. Skip. Watch (I’m bias and love how bad the Hills is). Tivo.
    3. C. I’d like to thinks lots will change with mommyness.
    4. A/B. I love both of those rooms, they’re equally awesome, unique.
    5. Cheese is fantastic, I agree.
    6. Christian Bale would definitely be nice to look at as president.
    7. I wish it was Friday too.

  18. 1.
    You will put an offer on a house that will make us so broke I’ll be hosting ramen-noodle dinner parties with Two Buck Chuck — and it will be AWESOME because it will be yours

    2.
    A) Monday Night Football SKIP
    B) The Hills SKIP
    C) Dr. 90210 TiVo

    I’m pathetically enthused for all of the fall shows. I really need a new hobby.

    3. Ask me after I have two children and change all my principles.

    4. Modern b&w damask, but the license plates might be cheaper on ebay in the interim and you can always move up to the damask

    5. You can join WW with me and a group of gals who are doing it together over at MamaPopTalk.

    I’m not quite sure how I’m going to work my new wedge of Ste. Andre’s into this… Or with the proximity I live near a fantabulous cheese shop.

    (this should be completely negated by the heart disease history in my family as demonstrated by my 51 year old fathers heart attack and triple bypass)

    6. I have no clue who I would vote for which annoys me a great deal. I just don’t understand

    7. Is it Friday yet?
    No, and I haven’t worked a full week since May, so HA! That being said, I haven’t taken any fun time off… Do you know how much vacation time I get a year? um, nearly a month. And have I used it for something fun? Um, no.

  19. ooh- good luck on the house offer!!!!!

  20. 1. Which scenario is more likely to happen tomorrow?
    BOTH???

    2. Bad Monday night television. Choose one for each: WATCH - TIVO - SKIP

    Skip all - I don’t like those shows :)

    3. Would you ever get plastic surgery?
    Absolutely - I’m thinking I have my next child then the surgery will be scheduled. No kidding.

    4. How should I decorate my future, hypothetical powder room?

    A) Shabby license plate chic, seen here.

    5. How can I lose 10 pounds before I meet like seven new girlfriends this weekend?

    I like cheese too :)
    6. If the presidential primary were held TODAY in your state, do you know who you would vote for?

    I’m Canadian but I’m thinking Liberal :)
    7. Is it Friday yet?

    C) NO - but I have Thursday Friday and Monday off! yay!

    Good luck with the house offer!

  21. Hope everything works out for the house! Fingers crossed for you guys!!

    Did you have a crush on Christian Bale a loooooong time ago too, when he was in the movie Newsies? haha!

  22. Okay, I cheated before I took the quiz, but I just wanted to say mmmmmmm, cheese. Yum.

    Also, I cannot believe I forgot to watch The Hills last night–guess I’ll have to catch it on one of the millions of repeats they’ll show in future weeks!

  23. OK here we go…

    1. B yay house!
    2. Watch-football
    Tivo–Hills
    90210–Skip
    3. ummm, probably not, but I’ll say C…but like I said, I doubt I would
    4. B…so cute!
    5. You are gorgeous, you dork!
    6. A yes, I think so anyway.
    7. I wish it were Friday…right now…

  24. 1.B
