- Do people tell you that you act older, younger, or your age?

 

-If I gave you a toy gun with flashing lights, would you hide and start shooting people from around corners OR would you thank me on the IGI thread and then quietly donate it (a niece, Oxfam, Goodwill, wherever)? (there are no wrong answers for this, so don't be afraid to answer honestly) Absolutely! My daughter would be the first "victim" and then she'd get to go use it on her dad

- Do you need storage boxes? I'm good, but I'm also addicted to wooden jewelry boxes (like the kind you find at Hobby Lobby or Michaels)

 

- The world has given you the day off. You hear that, no chores, responsibilities, or budget you have to follow. What would you do in those 24 hours? Run off and take pictures ... or sleep.

Notes (Here's where you can add additional information you'd like your Switch Witch to know!): I participated in the Summer SW round, and kept up on questions, so there's a massive blog post on the forum with most of those answers. It should make stalking easy enough

 

Are you okay with semi-spicy foods right now? I'm thinking like curry or chipotle? If you were to choose a chili powder would you go Hot, Medium, or Mild?

Not so good with spicy stuff. If you have to ... mild.

Dangly earrings, but no hoops or studs. I'd prefer pendants over necklaces, but I've seen some fabulous necklaces too -- Not sure if I'm more of a 16-inch or 18-inch person
