So, I only put something here occasionally when something catches my eye - usually that means stealing a post from my niece. So that's what this one is. :)
Things about ME.
1 are you in a serious relationship?
Yes. Which translates into live-in slave to a disabled and seriusly chauvinistic man.
2. What was your dream growing up?
This may sound stupid, but the one thing I ever wanted most was to be married and have a lot of kids - the whole "white picket fence" deal. Didn't happen. I also wanted to be an artist; but I just didn't have enough talent.
3.What talent do you wish you had?
I wish I had ANY real talent. I can't carry a tune. I'm clumsy. I can't cook. I *try* (or have tried) lots of things, but never found anything I was good at.
4.Favorite drink?
Presuming this is referring to alcoholic? My brother's "old fashioned".
5.Favorite vegetable?
That's hard, I really like veggies. I guess broccoli.
6.What was the last book you read?
I don't read as much any more due to rapidly losing my vision. But I am currently alternating between "Christmas Cookie Club" and "Collateral Damage".
7.What zodiac sign are you
Capricorn. And I have no idea what that *means* - and don't care.
8.Any tattoos or piercings?
Pierced ears; it was done when I was around 18, and they don't match. I've considered a 2nd set, because I LOVE my earrings, but can't get it done to even out. NO tattoos. Never have, never will, just my personal choice.
9.Worst bad habit?
I guess it's a toss up between laziness and losing my temper.
To watch, figure skating. To participate - is shopping a sport?
11.Do you have a pessimistic or optimistic attitude?
I think, most of the time, optimistic. But I get an awful lot of weepy spells. I suppose that's probably more depression than pessimism.
12.Worst thing that ever happened to you?
Losing my parents. They were supposed to live forever.
13.Tell me one weird fact about you.
That's hard. Who gets to define "weird"? I don't think I'm weird, but maybe other people do.
14.Do you have any pets?
Yes, 2 cats. If I thought they'd get along (and my husband wouldn't have a fit) I'd have more. I also have a dog in the yard. He's not "mine"; but I'm beginning to wonder if he'll ever go "home". His owner is supposedly making a place for him; but all I ever hear are excuses. He'd be a really nice dog if h'd quit barking at night!
15.Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
I don't think they're either one. I've seen some that were cute; the only scary ones I've seen were on TV shows were they were meant to be scary. Mostly, I just think they're funny. Usually. Some are just dumb.
16.If you could change one thing about how you look, what would it be?
OK, I'm presuming the question isn't referring to something I have the (supposed) ability to change, like my weight. So I think it would be my hair. It's white around my face, and dark everywhere else, so just looks messy; and thinning nearly to the point of bald on one side.
17.If you won $10,000 today, what would you do with it?
That would depend on if the win was "public knowledge" or not. If it was, someone would be knocking down my door for a "loan" (which, since I don't expect to ever get paid back, I'd give an equal amount to someone else). If no one knew about it, it would get divided between the medical account and my annuity account.
18.What is your favorite place to hang out at?
I don't think I have one. We don't get to "hang out" anywhere because of DH's multiple health issues. It used to be going to my brother's house; but we can't travel anymore, and he's rarely home anyway.
19.Do you believe in ghosts?
Undecided. I've never seen one; but an awful lot of people believe they have.
20.Favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Since I'm retired, in theory *all* my time is spare. Ha! My favorite things to do would be reading and sewing. With failing vision, both are becoming very hard to enjoy.
21.Biggest pet peeve
Rudeness .. followed closely by inconsideration.
22.In one word, how would you describe yourself?
Doormat
23.Do you believe in/appreciate romance?
Believe in? Yes. Appreciate? How would I know, it doesn't exist in my world.
24.Favorite and least favorite food?
I can't pick a favorite, it changes with my mood; but I hate liver!
25.Do you believe in God:
Absolutely, totally, indisputably.
26.Will you repost this?
What a silly question. If I don't, who will know? On the other hand, if I do and no one reads it, what different does it make? LOL!
