40) Tell an embarrassing story about myself: Decided to surprise partner when he was off at laundry room, and apartment doorbell rang (he must have hands full, right?). Answered door with nothing but a strategically-placed fedora…and there was a Girl Scout on the porch, giving me a somewhat shocked look. Screeched, slammed door, threw on 10 pounds of clothes, re-opened door and apologized, and bought every single box of cookies she had with her. Partner returned from laundry room several minutes later to find me sitting dazed at table, wearing bizarre mismatched outfit next to a PILE of cookie boxes. (I do not exaggerate, this actually happened.)
