If you put Tony Stark for your first grade teacher but everyone knows it's Mrs. Keener, because everyone in your area of your generation had Mrs. Keener, that's secure.

True, but then you have to remember you named Tony Stark and not Bruce Banner. And was it Tony, or TStark, or Mr. Stark, or whatever? SIGH.

Yeah, agree—I hate when there are a limited number of options and half of them are favorites and half are "favorite" which I'm not good at remembering, and some of the rest are like, wedding anniversary which I don't have? I've also thought if you were an only child who was homeschooled you're SOL, with no options for siblings or school mascot!

Oh yeah, siblings and schools, too! At least I have schools!!!

No one steal my identity, but my favorite answer was one place that asked my favorite animal, and I said Homer. Aw, Homie.

I don't love the question "What was your best vacation?" Because, you know, I haven't stopped vacationing, and maybe some will be even more awesome than the one I used as an answer. Life keeps happening, ya know?

Well, I still don't know what my password is but Chrome had it stored, so guess who has two thumbs and Informed Delivery?

Tacos?

It should be tacos. I have no idea what Past Me was thinking.

Our mail delivery is usually in the morning, but when it hadn't been delivered (including my new plastic rectangle) by 1:00, I decided to just get cash from the ATM and pay for groceries with cash like it was the 1950s. I should have worn my polka-dotted dress and red lipstick to complete the retro feel (but I did not). So I braved the pre-snowpocalypse crowds at Trader Joe's, then I decided I wanted to make chili so I went to the Meijer as well (TJs doesn't have everything I need to make chili). Meijer was oddly sedate for 12 hours before snowmaggeddon hits.

When I got home, the mail had been delivered and I have my new plastic rectangle! I think I updated all the places online that are on autopay (the kitty's plan at Banfield, Hulu, cloud storage with Apple, and Cinemark's movie club). (After 13 years I still can't get Tim to put the utility bills on autopay. It makes him jittery. He pays online, but resists autopay. So the discretionary/entertainment bills are in my name and I totally do autopay.)

This has been your exciting update on my shopping and finances. Stay tuned for this week's installment of "Friday: The Day I Change The Sheets!" (Seriously. Friday really *is* the day I change the sheets, which I'm about to do. WOOOOOO SO EXCITE)

I just have some defaults. Anything pet related is always this one pet. Any sports question I answer with one specific sport. Anything for my work that requires secret questions I answer with this job specific info- boss, company- zip code - I use these answers regardless of the questions.

Our work prompts were crazy to reset are password were very crazy and/or a bit classist. Like what's your library card number? What university didn't you get into? What was your first car?

A) Like I would ever give out my library card number B) What if I didn't go to university?? I mean, I got accepted to every university I applied to, but still. C) I have never owned a car. ETA: D) Who was the 2nd person you kissed?

There were more that I can't remember, but they were all of a similar vein. I ended up making up answers that I can't remember and now I pray I never get locked out of my work login.

Yeah, I have to write those down. I prefer the really specific questions - what street did you live on in 3rd grade and the like. Favorite anything is terrible. Paternal grandfather's middle name would be good if I was sure I could spell it consistently. Since I don't actually use that one I guess it's safe to say it's Nikolaivich that I can never be sure whether I should throw a c or t or maybe a different vowel in there.
