Inflation

1. What are your thoughts on balloons?

I don't really think about them much. I hate the smell of latex, especially if the balloons have been hanging around. I've never, ever--even when I was young, healthy and full of lung capacity--been able to blow up a balloon.

2. What has anyone said recently to inflate your ego?

I think it was something about paying attention to details at work.

3. What’s something that recently let the wind out of your sails?

I just feel so freakin' tired all the time. There's no wind at all in my sails lately.

4. What inflatable items do you have in your home?

There are a large number of balls in the garage that need inflation. We have a few air mattresses in the basement. I think there are some water balloons around too. And of course the tires on the vehicles: cars, mowers, snow blower, etc.

5. Besides gasoline (because we’re all pleasantly surprised by that), what’s something whose price has been a surprise?

I'm always surprised at how much lunch at Panera costs compared to the McDonald's across the street. On the other hand, it's probably keeping me alive a little longer than the McD's food would.
