Shower. I think of baths as indulgent, a treat or reward. Plus, showers are so much faster.

Vacation: big city or remote village?

Remote village for the most part, and big cities every few years. I love cities, but when I think of going away, I think of relaxing.

Pampered at a spa, or great workout in a gym?

Pampered at a spa, but no manicures or pedicures please!  I want a massage (neck, head, and shoulders, some back) and maybe something else, too like my eyebrows done.

A job where you sit most of the time or stand most of the time?

I'd prefer a balance of both, but I have never been good at just sitting still, so I'd go for one where I stand or move around.

Ice cream cake, or cake and ice cream?

Ice cream cake. Yum!

Saturday night: out on the town or quiet night at home?

Night in. With friends round and food.

Glass half full or half empty?

Of course we all want to say half full, but sometimes we get in our own way and only see the negative side of things.

Drama in the workplace or having things be on an even keel?

Oh definitely even keel please! (As there has been drama in my work place a little too much lately!) Just do your job and go home please!

Idea of a perfect date night:

Quiet dates like Dinner and a movie (or walk on the beach!) or something really active and fun-natured like miniature golf, go-karts, etc. ??

I agree, I hate drama!

I prefer the quiet type of date, but it's good to inject a bit of active fun into your relationship as well.

Regular M&Ms or peanut M&Ms?  (I've been on a bit of a kick with both lately--very bad!)

Regular. Now I'm craving chocolate. :P

Depends on the person, the situation, what country the person is living in, what time it is, etc. etc.

I have friends I write letters to, friends I email, friends I phone.  And different combinations of the above with the same person.  :P

Hot and spicy Chinese style stir fry or mild and creamy coconuty Thai style stir fry?

I can't do spicy very well so the mild and creamy coconuty Tai Style stir fry!

Write a hand written letter or write an e-mail?

It depends on the person.  People who get hand-written letters are usually those who aren't online much or at all; like my mom, my cousin, my sister, my old boss, and two old co-workers.

Would you rather have breakfast food for dinner or dinner food for breakfast?  (Dinner as in the evening meal, not as in lunch.)

Breakfast for dinner. I adore breakfast foods, but want to be awake enough to enjoy them, so I have them in the evening from time to time.

Go to a sandwich shop (small deli, Subway etc) or build your own?

Build my own (sorry TamaMoo, I know you're a Subway girl!) unless I'm back at my old job which made the most awesome veggie chicken salad sandwiches!

Two scoops of fat free ice cream plus the topping of your choice (nuts, hot fudge, etc.) or one scoop of regular full fat ice cream  with no topping at all?
