Saturday Survey

Yes, it's that time of the week where the Insomnia Chronicles presents you with a random survey that requires little-to-no brain power (yeah, I know how Saturdays are...). So, take a few minutes and answer the following questions about one of your favorite subjects (you).  I look forward to learning more about you in this non-threatening blog community builder.  Here you go...

Saturday Survey

Normally the readership of the Insomnia Chronicles takes a sharp dip on the weekend.  People are not around their computers as much and are enjoying other activities...  I get it... and, I totally understand.  So, with that in mind, I'm beginning a new segment to my blog today (and it will continue each weekend). Saturday Survey will simply be a fun, community-building, opportunity to answer SEVEN (or, atleast a few) questions and see how they compare with others.  So, come on, let your voice (via your fingers) be heard!

1. Ideal summer temperature: 75, 85, 95 or ??
2. What quenches your 'summer thirst' ?
3. Flip-flops, crocs, or barefoot?
4. Sunscreen, or 'just let me burn!' ?
5. Car windows down or A/C?
6. What's your summer soundtrack (favorite CD)?
7. What Bible verse/passage is on your heart today?
