Friday Five:

1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not?
Not really. I find it stressful. I like to buy things and get new stuff, but the act of going to stores and picking things out always puts me in a bad mood. It's been getting better though, as the last few times I've tried things on I've been happy to discover that I can wear a smaller size than I thought.

2. What was the last thing you purchased?
A bottle of wine to take to a friend's house last night. Prior to that it was a big bag of potting soil for transplanting our basil this weekend.

3. Do you prefer shopping online or at an actual store? Why?
If I know exactly what I want, I much prefer online. (I even had a dream the other night that Amazon.com.au was finally launching.) I wish it were practical to do our grocery shopping online. I hate the grocery store.

4. Did you get an allowance as a child? How much was it?
I don't remember it ever really being a set amount. If you did your chores and you wanted something, you could usually get it. Once I turned 14 I got a part-time job at the local grocery store so I pretty much paid my own way from then on.

5. What was the last thing you regret purchasing?
That box of Rice Krispies. Turns out we still had half a box from the Rice Krackles the Snook made for Halloween, so now we've got a whole extra box of cereal we'll never eat. Which means I'll make more Treats with it. And I'll eat them. And the cycle of regret will begin again...

This is where my weblog goes to die. Every post has a permanent home, so this is where you should link if you're so inclined.

"RunningBlog" refers to posts related to running that are cross-posted over at geekgirlrunner.

"Moblog" refers to posts and images posted directly from my mobile phone.

"PW Blog" refers to posts recovered from my very first weblog, which dealt with news related to my college dorm.
