Let's say we're heading out for a weekend getaway. You're only allowed to bring 3 articles of clothing with you (not counting undergarments). So, what's in your bag?

Assuming I'm wearing my usual casual clothes,
one pair of good shoes
dressy sweater
nice slacks



If I was to listen in on one of your conversations throughout the day, what 4 phrases or words would I be most likely to hear?

You cannot be serious!
How can I help?
Oh man, I am screwed!
Tango, get your nose out of the trash can you dumpster diver!

So, what 4 things do you find yourself doing every single day, and if you didn't get to do, you probably wouldn't be in the best mood (Aside from eating and sleeping)?

listening to music/NPR
reading at least one chapter from a book/magazine/online article/LoT
scratching kitty behind the ears


You're driving down the road, and suddenly you're hit with this sense of road rage. What 3 factors probably contributed to it?

SUVs on city streets
People who do not signal and change lanes erratically
tailgating


Sweet, you just scored a whole afternoon to yourself. We're talking a 3 hour block with nobody around. What 5 activities might we find you doing?

Writing my book is exactly what I would be doing.
Giving in to temptation and slacking attitude:
Plopped on the couch with a really engrossing book
a spur of the moment trip to a favorite used book store
Rummaging in the fridge for something verboten to eat in this free block of time


We're going to the zoo. But, it looks like it could start storming, so it'll have to be a quick visit. What 3 exhibits do we have to get to?
penguins
big cats
monkey house


You just scored tickets to the taping of any show that comes on TV of your choice. You can pick between 4, so what are you deciding between?

What's on tv? Besides Project Runway that I watch? Oh, I know, Keith Olberman, he's a hoot.


You're hungry for ice cream. I'll give you a triple dipper ice cream cone. What 3 flavors can I pile on for ya?
Vanilla
pecan crunch
coffee


Somebody stole your purse/wallet…in order to get it back, you have to name 5 things you know are inside to claim it. So, what's in there?


my pet smart card cause I know the number
driver's license
a photo of Paramahansa Yogananda
some dried rose petals
SFMOMA card


You are at a job fair, and asked in what areas you are interested in pursuing a career. Let's pretend you have every talent and ability to be whatever you wanted and it was all lucrative enough to live happily and comfortably on. What 4 careers would be fun for you?


film restoration/preservation/archivist
imagineer
personal assistant for Martin Scorsese
patisserie/baker (because I'm addicted to croissants and brioche)


If you could go back and talk to the old you, when you were in high school, and inform yourself of 5 things, what would you say?


stop worrying about what people think
no matter how much you lose, you will still be 5 lbs over, relax and enjoy it
Just Effing Do IT
40 may sound old to you now, but when you are 40, it's awesome!
