    ...balance your checkbook? Never.  I just check the balance online every few days.

    ...call your parents? Every few days.

    ...take a picture? A few times a month.

    ...check your postal mailbox? Never! DH does this, but he does it almost daily.

    ...paint your fingernails? Never. 

    ...read the newspaper? Never.  I read the news online, but it isn't the newspaper, just the local TV station's website.

    ...buy a book? I try not to buy them anymore! I check them out at the library VERY often, and I only buy them if they just came out and I really want to read them right away.

    ...listen to local radio? Everyday.

    ...eat pizza? Maybe once or twice a month.

    ...help old people cross the street? Um? Haha I don't think I've ever been near an old person who needed help crossing the street, but I would help them if the situation happened.

    ...throw away something that's recyclable? Too often.  We just got a big recycling bin (the same size as our trash bin -- not the tiny green one) so we're working on this.

    ...backup your computer? Not often.  I haven't since before the wedding (in May).

    ...write in cursive? Never.

    ...randomly break into song? Many times per day.

    Fun! I love polls. :)

    ...balance your checkbook? Once a week- I've had my credit cards stolen three times so I check everything frequently because I am not paranoid.

    ...call your parents? I rarely call my mother because she calls me almost every day. But I talk to her often. My dad doesn't like talking on the phone, so I email him.

    ...take a picture? Once a week, it is always of the dogs doing something cute and I am totally bad about uploading them. I have like 700 pics of the dogs cuddling on my camera... need to get on that.

    ...check your postal mailbox? FI does that, there are spiders in the mailbox.

    ...paint your fingernails? Erm... never. I have polish on from my last manicure which was the 1st of July that really needs to come off...

    ...read the newspaper? Online? Every day. In the flesh? Never.

    ...buy a book? Once a month- I only buy books I know I'll love, everything else comes from the library.

    ...listen to local radio? Every day! WUNC or the country and pop stations. :)

    ...eat pizza? Once a month or so.

    ...help old people cross the street? My mom doesn't walk well, so every time I see her. :)

    ...throw away something that's recyclable? NEVER. (Once a day, usually accidentally, don't tell my friend who works at the City of Charlotte's recycle program!)

    ...backup your computer? FI does it. I think.

    ...write in cursive? 3rd grade scarred me for life, I never use cursive.

    ...randomly break into song? Every day when I get home from work and greet my dogs. It always turns into a chant about how cute they are, which matches the dances they do when they are excited...

    ...balance your checkbook? Never. DH has all of that down pat at the moment since I joined onto his account and closed mine out.  When I had my own account I would balance it once a week.

    ...call your parents? Does texting count? I call at least once a week, but we text randomly throughout the week.

    ...take a picture? About once a week. I should take more, but I'm horrible about loading them onto my computer

    ...check your postal mailbox? Every day. I secretly hope I get a goodie each day, but alas. . bills and junk lol.

    ...paint your fingernails? Try to at least once a week. Maybe more depending on how crappy they look after working at the barn

    ...read the newspaper? Does online count? If it does, I check it daily.

    ...buy a book? Usually once a month. DH wants me to get one of those electronic things. . nook?. . .but I like my books. I like the smell of new books / old books and actually turning pages. I'm a dork.

    ...listen to local radio? Only when I'm in the car in the morning. 105 Showgram :o)

    ...eat pizza? twice a month?

    ...help old people cross the street? When I see an old person that needs help, I'll help them. Recently though, that hasn't been the case.

    ...throw away something that's recyclable? It happens occassionally. Our recycling only gets picked up twice a month and our can occassionally over flows. . so I take out the 'questionable' stuff and trash it. 

    ...backup your computer? MMm probably should do that soon since I recently had a bad virus run through and almost crash my computer. Thankfully DH amazingly fixed it!

    ...write in cursive? Its pretty random. My notes are crazy. Half print half cursive

    ...randomly break into song? Showers/driving/riding. . randomly :o)
