:(  Not so happy to admit...  sometimes I do sleep in
my clothes.  And I think I've taken out the ironing
board 3 times in the last 10 months and that was for
job interviews. ..(It was a programmers habit too, I
guess) That and I'm the least vain person I know. *no
makeup*   *I hate shopping for clothes*  If I didn't
feel unladylike going grunge all the time, I would.

I cook to save money and to keep from blowing up like
a baloon..   I mostly have breakfast in a can, though,
but lately it's been McDonald's #3 with orange juice.
hmmmm ..  yummy.
