so are you ready for this?

1. was the lie. and you'd know this if you have ever seen my ashy legs. i don't do sunblock either unless it is in my lotion or makeup. I figure i i have a dark complexion. AND my cancer risk is low. even with my dad finally getting melanoma at the age of 70 i think i have greater risk for something else worse than skin cancer. so i don't bother. i used to do lotion daily but don't take the time anymore. that was a single thing for me. shower , sit down and slather on the lotion. yeah not so much anymore.


2. was true i did do 3 or 4 focus groups with the Phoenix zoo, and the pay for doing it was extending my zoo membership. so one Christmas gift lasted 3 and a half years. and i used that sucker tons. and went to the zoo at least once a week. all year around. not as much in the summer but on average at least once a week year round.

3. totally gross but true! i did do the diaper study! Julie apparently has too. i did more than one we always had one or two kids that qualified. you get free diapers for the time of the study, and you fill out a paper per week. then you keep nasty used diapers until the next drop off. so sick. but they paid you. one time i got $120.00 and free diapers for a month and with 4 kids in diapers at the same time while my husband was in school, how can i say no? i finally did. and quit doing those. but if you are interested call delve market research and get on their list. we also did pull ups and bed wetting studies. that is part of how i supported my Gymboree habit.

4. yeah my younger brother has Downs syndrome. his name is Gary and he is 26 now. he enjoys musicals and line dancing. he watched every Disney movie we owned on video for months on end . and then musicals, he had the timing just right to dance along to the coconut grove routine in singing in the rain. and could do it even in the other room. he loves to sing along to most musicals too. but he is totally TONE DEF! he served his mission at the mesa D.I. his friends were all going on missions and he knew that is what you did so he did too. he lives with my mom.
and my dad thought he was a Mexican after his mission in Mexico. he only ever spoke Spanish to us growing up. it was really annoying. i am the only kid in my fam that doesn't speak Spanish fluently. i can understand it fluently but choose not to speak Spanish. Just another one of my rebellious things. it was weird to tons of friends growing because apparently they couldn't understand him. and of course when you can't understand what people are saying or you only hear one side of a conversation anyone listening thinks you are talking about them, sometimes we were and sometimes we weren't. totally rude though. i am glad that is over.



so i know everyone is shocked and appalled about being wrong. only one person even kind of thought it could be the lotion and Julie totally knew it was a diaper study. My sister in law read it and didn't think it would be fair to answer. Alicia has seen my dry hairy legs. Gosh i am a fox!
