Guess What Time It Is?!?!?!?

You got it! It's time for more perfectly useless trivia with the Shaffers!!!

Yes, my friends, today is a day in which I offer you five free bits of information about the two of us that will serve you no EARTHLY purpose except, perhaps, some entertainment.

You're welcome.

1. Do you cut out coupons but never use them?

Bekah: I cut them out with the best of intentions, but do confess that sometimes {aka usually} I end up at the store and can CLEARLY envision them on the counter at home. WHOOPSIE!!!!!

Ryan: I cut out coupons and give them to Bekah. {Please refer to answer above.} Then at the store, I say, "Don't we have a coupon for this? You're the keeper of the coupons." And she smiles and says, "I may or may not have left that coupon at home." {The answer, of course, is may.}

2. Would you rather be attacked by a big bear or a swarm of bees?

Bekah: SERIOUSLY!?!?!? What kind of question is this? I suppose the bees. But if there's any way that NEITHER can be an option in this scenario, I'll take THAT. I was stung once in the armpit by a yellow jacket. I've really never cared for bees since. But I'm certain I'd care for a big bear even less.

Ryan: I'm gonna go with the bear on this one. I feel my chances would be much better one on one than with a swarm. I'm quite wiry. 

3. Do you have freckles?

Bekah: I get some on my cheeks in the summer - and on the top of my shoulders. But nothing like Anne of Green Gables.

Ryan: Yes, I do have freckles. They seem to show up more when I am tan. But they are still nothing like ...you know...someone who has a lot of freckles.

4. Do you always smile for pictures?

Bekah: Yes, unless it's one of those fake out things where I don't know that my picture is being taken. OR unless I'm stuck in traffic. Ryan and I have a LOT of unamused-stuck-in-traffic photos.

Ryan: I smile as long as I can, depending on how long the photographer takes to snap the picture. My face gradually drops and freezes. On the good pictures, I usually blink. 

5. What is your biggest pet peeve?

Bekah: I kind of have a lot of these. Anything to do with gum is a pet peeve. I can't stand seeing it, smelling it, or hearing it snap and pop. People who drive under the speed limit. People who pull into traffic right in front of me and then go slow. Ushers who make you move to the center of the row. Meetings that last longer than they're supposed to. Any sort of text/email abbreviation or misuse of the English language out of pure laziness. Hashtags. People who do not follow the assigned rules of the road in the parking lot and/or grocery store aisle. Just to name a few.

Ryan: Well, nothing comes to mind.


{That was a total lie. He just wanted to make me look like a real whiny girl.}

Ryan, Take 2: Tardiness.Getting behind slow people in the store or on the road. Any job done in a sub-par way. Limp handshakes. Men who sit with their legs crossed {like women}.

Braeya: Food dishes that have even a smidgen of the bottom showing. 

So there you have it!!

Tell me your answers. Especially #5! I need to make sure I don't violate it!


Thankfulness, Days 25 and 26: I FORGOT TO PUT UP A THANKFULNESS PROMPT YESTERDAY!!! So here are two for today: 
* Say thanks to a former co-worker for encouraging you/teaching you/mentoring you/bailing you out {whatever fits}. Even though you don't work together anymore, be thankful for the time you shared then!

* Say thanks to someone you observed feeding life into someone else. You may not even know them - but you have seen them making a difference to someone else. Say thanks.
