1. How do you eat an oreo cookie? open mouth. take a bite. chew. swallow. repeat.
2. How long does it take you to eat lunch? that depends on how many times the phone rings while i am trying to eat. that's right, i take my lunch at my desk & keep on working. i have mastered the art of chewing & swallowing quickly because it never fails that the phone will ring as soon as i've put food into my mouth. back to the original question. without interruptions? 10 minutes. with interruptions? 20-30 minutes which means my food is usually not the preferred temperature.
3. Caffeine or decaf? caffeine only when absolutely necessary to stay awake. other than that, water doesn't come regular or decaf, as far as i know. ;-)
4. Chicken or beef? chicken please!
5. Pen or pencil? pen
6. Autumn or spring? Autumn!!
7. Baseball or basketball? need you ask? not just baseball, RED SOX baseball. i would rather give up a limb than watch basketball.
8. 'Survivor' or 'The Amazing Race?' ummmm...never watched a single episode of either.
