You Are 26% Vain

Okay, so you're slightly vain from time to time, but you're not superficial at all. You are realistic. You know that looks matter. You just try to make them matter less.

How Vain Are You?

Yup. Got it in one.

Eats peanut butter at least once a week (No, but it's funny that I was talking about peanut butter with my mom last night...)

Prefers smooth peanut butter over chunky (Yes)

Can name all Three Stooges (Yes--but, I don't know, weren't there more? Am I conflating Stooges with Marx Brothers?)

Lives within a 20-minute drive of a Wal-Mart (Yes. Not that I stop there very often.)

Eats at McDonald's at least once a year (Yes. In fact, we stopped there yesterday.)

Takes a shower for approximately 10.4 minutes a day (I have no idea, but I think it might be longer in my case.)

Never sings in the shower (Only when I stub my toe on something.)

Lives in a house, not an apartment or condominium (Yes)

Has a home valued between $100,000 and $300,000 (When we moved in, it was. Not sure if the value has gone up enough in 2-1/2 years to hit $300,000.)

Piano with Mrs. Schumann--I walked the 8 blocks to her house and back when I was between 8 and 10, across a very busy four-lane road, alone.
