Getting to know you, part 3

Time for more getting to know you questions!  I have to say, going through these is making me think in some interesting ways... a very fun exercise!!

11. Describe 10 pet peeves you have.

• Deliberate ignorance. 
• Leaving drawers or cabinets open, or, even worse, only partially closing them.  (AHEMhubbyAHEM)
• People who chew with their mouths open. 
• Bad manners and lack of basic etiquette skills. 
• Bad grammar - they're, their, and there are DIFFERENT words, people! 
• People who misspell my name, especially in an email.  Especially in an email from one of my Sarah @ ... addresses where you can clearly see that my name is Sarah and NOT Sara. 
• People who spend 10 times longer than a task would take, just to write out an email to have someone else do the task for them
• People who drive below the speed limit in the fast lane. 
• Kids that run full speed in restaurants, in circles.  Yes, I have witnessed this enough that it's officially a peeve, and yes, I'm fully aware that my opinion on this may change when I have kids.
• People who try to offer advice on how to get pregnant - in particular, that very obvious piece of advice, because frankly, it's usually from the last person in the world you want to hear that from.  *shudder* 

12. Describe a typical day in your current life.

If I'm lucky, the alarm wakes me up.  If I'm not so lucky, I have 86 pounds of dog on top of me/licking me/barking at me to get out of bed.  The hubby makes the coffee (he's a keeper!), and we lounge around for an hour or so, waking up.  We carpool together to our office, where I have a very corporate, very desk-bound job.  I spend most of my day on the phone with clients, booked out across several appointments in the day, and then hubby and I carpool it back home.  He takes the dog out for a walk while I get caught up online, and figure out what's for dinner.  We chow down, and veg in front of the TV - usually it's Castle, Top Chef, or How I Met Your Mother.  Off to bed, and do it all again the next day!

13. Describe 5 weaknesses you have.

• I am impatient as hell. 
• I curse a lot.  (see above)
• I am terribly unhealthy (even though I really don't want to be...)
• I am a serial procrastinator
• I can be a know-it-all (but I work really hard on that one!) 

14. Describe 5 strengths you have.

• I'm a dang good problem solver
• I pick up new skills pretty fast
• I'm a good friend
• I'm almost always optimistic!
• But hands down, my family is my biggest strength. 

15. If you were an animal, what would you be and why?

Hands down, I'd be a dog.  People love to have you around, you totally rule the house, and your people do everything for you - bring you food, give you a good scrubby bath, and even pick up your poo!  Awesome!
