Here are the Qs from last week, since I missed it:

1. What was the highlight of your weekend?
Being in Vegas was fabulous. I really enjoyed the beach at Mandalay Bay, even though I was there for 90 minutes and walked away with a wicked sunburn. It just felt good to be outside, with my feet in the water and the sun on my shoulders, just feeling alive.

2. How often do you get your hair cut?
I usually rip out the scissors and hack at it when I can’t figure out what else to do with it. Every two months, maybe.

3. Can you drive a stick shift?
Not a chance.

4. If someone gave you $1,000 to spend on yourself, how would you spend it?
I’m sad to say, “That’s all?” God, I’ve gotten expensive in my old age. I’d go buy myself a 33rd (gasp!) birthday present on Friday. Or perhaps save it next month for the iPhone, although I think I’m just going to buy a Pearl and an iPod mini till I can afford the next-gen iPhone incarnation.

5. What are you most afraid of?
What goes around, not coming around.

6. Do you have any vacations planned for the summer?
Had to cancel my last vacation, got sick on this vacation. I’m going for third time’s a charm here, peeps. My friend in North Carolina is beckoning hard for me to come see her new house. I think that’s the plan, although I would never turn down any good offers if they came along.

7. What is your non-alcoholic beverage of choice?
Sweet tea.

8. What is your favorite kind of cereal?
Life Chocolate Oat Crunch

9. What color looks best on you? Do you wear it often?
I get the most compliments with pink and baby blue, although I usually wear black or brown because I can slobber and spill and nobody will notice.

10. Ask me something.
Is Chipotle paying you to cheer for Chipotle Tuesdays as a new national holiday?

Squee!

Ahem.

1. What is your all-time favorite song? You can only choose one.
*perusing iTunes* It would have to be a Bon Jovi song because, really, how could it not be? I’m going to go with “Wild is the Wind,” from their “New Jersey” album.

2. What is the cheapest price per gallon you recall ever paying for gas?
I remember it being below $2, although that was in a galaxy long ago and far away. I’m pretty sure it was around $1 or $1.15 in late 2001, when I started driving (at age 27. Shut up!).

3. How long do you think you could manage without any Internet access before totally losing your mind?
If it’s a workday, give it 10 minutes (just long enough to go to Starbucks and back) and I’ll be chewing off my own arm in frustration. On a weekend, I can unplug for a few days with only a passing curiosity what drama I might be missing.

4. If you could bring back one canceled TV series, which one would you choose?
I would want to see how “Reunion” turned out. But really, it’s that I miss seeing Mathew St. Patrick in high-def every week. Rowr.

5. Do you use Twitter?
Addicted!

6. Do you use MySpace?
I let all of five people see what I do there. Not so much.

7. Did you celebrate Cinco de Mayo on Saturday?
We celebrated on Friday at work, with a catered lunch from Baja Fresh, a party (which my team and I missed — we went and ate at our desks) and a mariachi band.

The mariachi band strolled the hallways afterward, and our friend Terri walked around with them, with her own sombrero and guitar. One of the musicians was at our party last year, and he asked her out. But when she said, “Are you Jewish?” and he said “What’s Jewish?” we knew it would never work out for them. *sniffle*

8. Have you ever had a mint julep?
Loved ‘em — I hosted a fund-raising cotillion one year, and our theme was “An Enchanted Southern Garden.” It was when I decided I should have been a Southern belle and probably was in a past life. We even had the mint juleps in the “right” kind of glasses (my team of volunteers researched it).

9. Would you rather be in a hot dog eating contest or a pie eating contest (assuming you’d have to 5 lbs. of the food)?
Pie, preferably banana cream or sweet potato. If it’s something made with all that nasty fruity gel, I’d go with the hot dogs instead.

10. Ask me something.
When are you getting your new furniture?

In determining which “Grey’s Anatomy” character I am, I assure you if this were true, I’d be staring in the mirror all day, fantasizing about myself.
