I know this is cheesy, but....

Name one thing you do every day:


Roll my eyes.

Name 2 things you wish you could learn: 


1. How to be Organized. I spend a lot of time shifting piles from one place to another and sifting through papers looking for something I misplaced. I keep promising myself that one day I will get rid of the clutter.

2. How to Parallel Park Well. This inability has caused many, many embarrassing parking situations and caused me to miss out on way too many good parking spots.

Name 3 things that remind you of your childhood: 


1. The Sunday Comics. My family always passed the comics around the table on Sunday mornings while we ate muffins and drank tea. We could sit there for hours.

2. A Chore List. Inevitably, after the comics or any other day of the week, there would be a list of chores to be divvied up amongst the siblings. Vacuuming, emptying the trashcans, and putting away the dishes were common items.

3. Bunk Beds. I had to share my room for many years with my younger sister. One great advantage to being the older one was I got the top bunk, and she always had to turn out the lights and the TV (pre-remote control days!).

Name 4 things you love to eat but rarely do: 


1. Sweet Potatoes. Love them with butter and browned sugar. I never cook them for myself, but often go out to eat at a steakhouse to get one!

2. Pumpkin Pie. Ok, this is making it sound like Thanksgiving, but sweet potatoes and pumpkin pie are the best part of T-day. It’s one of the few days you do eat pumpkin pie...ooh and lots of whip cream.

3. Artichokes. Not just the hearts, but when you eat (scrape) them leaf-by-leaf. Yummy. I have never cooked one myself, but I heard it’s a lot of cooking time for just a little bit of food.

4. Breakfast. I love the greasy diner kind, with eggs, pancakes, waffles, strawberries, syrup, and coffee.

Name 5 things/people that make you feel good: 


1. Bookstores. As soon as I enter them, I relax and get excited at the same time. There is so much to read, so much to learn, and not enough money or time to satisfy my interest in reading.

2. The Warm Sun. Having a morning with clear blue skies and the sun warming my shoulders and face is just about the best way to feel good about the day.

3. My Morning Coffee Hour. Alone with morning cup of joe. Ahhhhh.

4. Campfires. Love to camp, but just an evening with the fire will do. The energy that flows from the fire itself and the people surrounding it always warms me up and keeps me smiling.

5. My Husband and My Family. They listen, they support, and they prove to me again and again how much they care.
