Average American?
Well, I wouldn't like to think I was average at anything, but we shall have to see if that is true. The theory behind this meme I stole from you know who is that these are things that the average American does or has. I've struck the ones that do not apply.
Eats peanut butter at least once a week
- Prefers smooth peanut butter over chunky- well, doesn't everyone?
- Can name all Three Stooges- yeah, but it's not like I enjoy having that information rattling around in my brain.
- Lives within a 20-minute drive of a Wal-Mart -Without traffic. If it's at rush hour, well, it's off 494 by the Mall of Gomorrah and it's a bitch to get to. Besides, it's located in the hood and you'd have to pay me serious money to go there.
- Eats at McDonald’s at least once a year-I would say that's probably about right. The only time we ever eat at McDonalds is when we're roadtripping somewhere. When the husband and I lived in Des Moines, because it wasn't a bustling Metropolis, we left town for the weekend quite a bit. Des Moines is intersected by I-35, which goes north-south, and I-80, which runs east-west. As a result of our constant mid-90's roadtrips, I am able to tell you, in every direction on those two interstates, where every McDonald's is located.
- Takes a shower for approximately 10.4 minutes a day- If not longer because I'm doing super secret GIRL stuff in the shower.
Never sings in the shower
Lives in a house, not an apartment or condominium I wish this weren't the case.
Has a home valued between $100,000 and $300,000
Has fired a gun- Don't want to, either, because they scare the hell out of me. That doesn't mean I'm going to begrudge someone else, though.
- Is between 5 feet and 6 feet tall- -5'6"
- Weighs 135 to 205 pounds -like I'm going to announce that on the internet. Pfft. We'll just say it's closer to the lower end of the scale.
- Is between the ages of 18 and 53
- Believes gambling is an acceptable entertainment option- but surprisingly enough, I have absolutely NO desire to rush right off to Vegas
Grew up within 50 miles of current home-it's a little over 400 miles away
