A friend of mine on Facebook prompted this week’s question, when she posted a list of ways to win her heart. (Calm down, folks, she’s already married.) In any case, from a “lifetime supply of iTunes downloads” to a nice neck and shoulder massage, she came up with a list of gestures that would turn that proverbial frown upside down.

What are the ways to (at least temporarily) win your heart?

Welcome to November, if you can imagine that it’s already the next to the last month of the year. I’m glad it’s the first day of November, because that means this infernal election will be over soon.

In any case, here are a few questions to get your mind away from those negative campaign ads that you’re being inundated with from all directions!

2. If you needed a “tagline” or sub-title for your blog, what would you use to describe your blog?

4. Take the quiz: What Kind of Blogger Are You?

5. If there was no such thing as feed readers, the sites or that allow you keep up with multiple blogs at once, and the only way for you to actually keep up with your blogging friends was to actually go to their own individual blog every time, how many blogs do you think you would seriously read regularly?

6. If you learned that each of the following people had been secretly reading your blog for a while now, which one would make you want to look back through your content to see if any apologies might be necessary: your parents, your children, your best friend, your pastor, your boss, or your worst enemy?

Who couldn’t use a little help in the kitchen?

That’s the slogan for a brand of boxed meals that are guaranteed to make cooking a meal easier. We know said brand as “Hamburger Helper,” although there are also varieties for Tuna and Chicken.

And whether the prospect of serving up a meal that isn’t entirely from scratch offends your sensibilities or not, if you’re trying to save money and/or just busy enough, such a thought might become a bit more appealing.

Here is a list of the varieties of Hamburger/Chicken/Tuna Helper from Betty Crocker. You’ll use that for this week’s question.

Charleston is slowly drying out after yesterday’s record rainfall. (And there wasn’t even a hurricane to blame it on!)

The gas station where I buy the most gas here in Charleston now has regular gas selling for $2.95 a gallon. That’s still entirely too high, but it’s less than three bucks a gallon, so it’s still worth celebrating.

But even with the lower price, it’s still a good idea to look once in a while at the places you go and how much gas it takes to get there. This week’s question involves a little driving distance. It’s actually a two part question, in that in addition to destinations, I’m asking you to list the distance from your door. You can calculate this fairly easily with a site like Mapquest, or you can estimate if you’re good at distance.

So think of a typical week and come up with the seven places you go most often, then figure out how far away from your home they are. Simple enough, right?
