Don't get me wrong; I like both. But I'm gonna have to go with real whipped cream. Specifically, whipped cream in a can. However, Reddi-Whip probably isn't technically real whipped cream. But it is made with real cream, whereas Cool Whip is actually a non-dairy whipped topping. More importantly though, I think Reddi-Whip actually tastes better, and it's a heck of a lot more fun!

The last sporting event I went to was a Tigers Game. Christine invited me to go on her work outing. We ate in the Tiger Club, then went out to the game. It was freezing that night, so I ended up paying a small fortune for a hoodie. It was worth it though. I'm pretty sure I would have gotten hypothermia without it. Despite the cold, it was a great time. The Tigers won, and there was a pretty awesome fireworks show after the game. Go Tigers!

It's got my money, ID, Credit Cards & various membership/gift cards.


Cell Phone
I may not always hear or answer my cell phone, but it is always with me.


Keys
Whenever my keys aren't with me, it's bad news.


Swiss Army Knife
My mom has had one of these for as long as I can remember, and my brother got me one for my last birthday. It's really tiny, but it's got a knife, a nail file, scissors, tweezers & a toothpick. This is the handiest thing to carry around! Just don't try to board a plane with it.


Hairbrush
Sometimes a bad hair day turns into a horrible hair day. It's nice to have a brush when that happens.


Lipgloss/Chapstick
I used to rarely use lipgloss, but I find myself using it more and more lately.


Tylenol
9 times out of 10 the Tylenol gets used for headaches. I get a lot of headaches at work.


Gum
It freshens breath and tastes yummy.


Lotion
It moisturizes my hands and makes me smell good.


Hand Sanitizer
Germs are everywhere. Some people say this stuff doesn't really work. I say better safe than sorry.


Sunglasses
Aside from the practical use for sunglasses, I have somewhat of a sunglass obsession.


Glasses
I don't wear my glasses too often. I usually only wear them if I've got a headache, I'm tired, or I'm hungover. But every once in a while, I just feel like seeing clearly.


USB Flash Drive
This has come in handy so many times, it's ridiculous.


Calculator
I really don't know why I carry a calculator because there's one on my phone.


Pen & Mini Notepad
The pen gets used a lot more than the paper, but it's nice to have it in there.


Tide Stick
I've saved a lot of clothing because of this.


Bandaids
I'm clumsy. Also, I have a disgusting habit of picking scabs.


iPod (Sometimes)
It's nice to have something to do when boredom strikes.

I've done a lot of stupid/embarrassing/clumsy things that have led to scars. While most have faded away, a few have stuck around as a reminder of my clumsiness.

The oldest scar I've got is the result of a bike accident that happened the summer before 5th grade. It was actually a pretty bad wipe out. I remember standing in the bathtub while my mom poured peroxide down my legs. But the worst part was 3 gouges I got on my leg from the bike chain. They were deep and full of bike grease. I don't know how the chain got to the outside of my calf, but it did. It was a huge mess. And looking at these scars, I'm still not convinced that we got all of the grease out.

Another scar I've got is on my arm, near the elbow. It's kind of small, but it's cause is pretty obscure. I got my arm caught in folding chair. I'm not sure how it happened. I probably couldn't do it again if I tried. I did learn a lesson though. Folding up a folding chair is a lot safer when using two hands.

My most recent scar is on my forehead. This one was a curling iron burn; and a pretty fantastic one at that. At first, I didn't even know the curling iron was touching my skin. Then I heard a sizzle. Then I finally realized I was burning myself. It was kind of like in cartoons when they don't realize they're in pain until they see it. Or in my case, hear it.

My first memory is when my brother was born. Actually, it was probably more like the day after he was born. My dad took me to the hospital to visit my mom and meet my new brother. Before I could go in to see him, I had to stop at the nurse's station. They had to take my temperature to make sure I wasn't sick or anything. It was completely routine, but I didn't see it that way. I saw it as this complete stranger thinking I was going to hurt my new baby brother. The nerve! I remember sitting there on the counter being extremely livid. I can even remember laying in bed that night after my dad tucked me in. I was still angry about it. I was one pissed off 2 year old.

Fruit Loops

I'd say I could eat Fruit Loops three times a day. I've really been loving Fruit Loops lately. I tend to go for weeks when I only want one kind of cereal. My last cereal obsession was Eggo Waffle Cereal. Right now, I'm on a Fruit Loops kick. Unfortunately, I'm currently out of Fruit Loops. It's a sad, sad breakfast situation over here.

]]> http://www.plinky.com/answers/67896 I go from Trenton, MI to Riverview, MI ALL THE TIME 2009-07-25T17:30:59-06:00 At first, this seemed like a stupid answer. It is SO CLOSE to where I live, and the only reason I go there is because I work there. Work is probably everybody's reason for venturing to a different city. Then I realized that when I worked here in Trenton, I would go days, even whole weeks without leaving the city. My mom, who also works in Trenton, has the same situation. So, having a job isn't necessarily the obvious answer I originally thought it was.

So, why do I go to Riverview so often? It's simple. I work there. And that means making the trip six days a week. Sometimes twice a day.

The plan was to play the slots real quick, and get rid of the money. Luckily for me, things didn't go as planned. The machine kept hitting, and I kept winning. Two and a half hours later, my $4 had turned into $300!
