For The Rest of Us

This is going around.

Tired of all of those surveys made up by high school kids? Here's questions for the people who are a little more mature... (Not sayin' we're OLD or anything!!) You know what to do. Copy and paste into your own note, then answer the questions. Finally, tag your friends. But only if you want to.

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Anything to do with repairing the car

2. What famous person would you like to have dinner with?
Julia Child


3. Do you miss being a child?
No. I like the freedom that comes with being an adult.

4. Where was the last place you had a romantic dinner?
The Tin Angel, Nashville

5. If you could go back and change one thing what would it be?
I've thought about this a lot actually. The thing about changing something is that you don't know what repercussions it might have to affect what is happening now. If I would still be in the same place at the same time in the same situation, I would have majored in art in college.


6. Name of your first grade teacher?
Mrs. Randall

7. What do you really want to be doing right now?
Cooking.


8. What did you want to be when you grew up?
A nurse. This was before I figured out I don't do well with needles and the sight of blood. Then I wanted to be an artist.


9. How many colleges did you attend?
One for undergraduate school.
One for graduate school.
Dallas has a number of community colleges that offered all kinds of interesting classes. I used to take classes at those all the time we lived there. I don't remember how many different ones. Three or four, maybe.
I've also taken classes since we moved to Alabama. Maybe I am a perpetual student.

10. Chore you hate the most?
Cleaning the bathroom

11. What are your thoughts on gas prices?
I rarely drive these days, and certainly don't fill up the car, so I haven't actually paid much attention to them. Come to think of it. My new car has only been filled up twice since I got it in October.


12. First thought when the alarm went off this morning?
I love Disney.


13. Last thought before going to sleep last night?
Don't remember. I had my iPod mediation playlist going and just dropped off somewhere in there.

14. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now?
Because it's a bright pink nightshirt with a Laurel Burch healing design. I love her stuff and have this same design on a purple tee.


15. Have you ever crashed your vehicle?
Yes, I'm sorry to say.

16. If you didn't have to work, would you volunteer?
I have always volunteered, even more so when not working outside the home.

Early. I am definitely a morning person.

Stay up late and do skywatching. There are all kinds of interesting things in the night sky: satellites, meteor showers, ufos, etc.


20. When did you first start feeling old?
I've only felt old once. It was when Abbey was 5 years old and we went to a meeting for the parents at her school. Mike noticed we were 10-15 years older than all the other parents. LOL. Then I got over it. I haven't felt old since.

21. Favorite lunch meat?
I don't eat lunch meat. But I do use a meat analog for corned beef. Cause that way I can still eat Rueben sandwiches.

22. What do you get every time you go into Wal-Mart?
I don't really shop at Wal-Mart.
