1. Who do you call first?
Probably no one . . . well maybe Doug and Woody.
2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself?
Either a newer car, a new computer or a vacation somewhere exotic.
3. What is the first thing you buy for someone else?
Pay off my surrogate grandparents' debt.
4. Do you give any away? If yes, to whom?
Of course I would. I'd set up a trust/college fund for my nephews. I'd pay my mom's rent and storage fees for a year. I'd help out friends who may need it whether through sponsorships etc. and certain charities that are close to my heart.
5. Do you invest any? If so, how?
Sure I'd invest after some careful research. Maybe I'd invest in some land/property somewhere.
Okay leave it to Christine to come up with her own idea of the "Friday Five." Since I can't even keep up with the Friday Five I'm sure I'll poop out on her Tuesday Ten but I'll give it the ole college try . . .

As you can see, there are no hair care products. Why you may ask? Because I'm a self-confessed hair product junkie. If it's new and it'll make me look like I have fabulous hair I'll buy it. Remember Paul Mitchell's spray wax? I bought it the minute it hit the shelf. The nozzle plugged up the third time I used it and I never got it unstuck. I also never returned it either so I was out $15. Right now I'm trying to find the perfect red shampoo to help keep my color in tow. Right now I'm using Redken but I'm not impressed with it.
As for other news, I'm two weeks into my Discovery Health Challenge and it's tough going. I've pretty much hit my stride in exercise. I wake up before my alarm goes off now (4 a.m. in case you forgot). But I'm still having problems with my knee. Since my last post I've only been running one other time and my knee really started hurting. So now I'm back off it again. SIGH! The RocknRoll marathon in June is looking bleaker and bleaker. I called to make an appointment to see the doctor and the soonest they can get me in is the end of February!? What's up with that? Sometimes I hate HMOs. So I'm spinning, walking and doing hill work on the treadmill. Oh and I try and do the stairs at the S.D. Covention Center twice a week.
