Writer's Block: Pick an era, any era

May. 12th, 2008 at 3:42 PM

If you had to pick a time period to live in, which would you choose? Why?

View other answers

I choose now.

I'd love to have a time machine and be able to visit many different time periods. I'd like to sit in a pool with the high class people of Rome, be there for the completion of an Egyptian pyramid, attend a ball in a medieval King's court, fan myself while I chat with the ladies on a front porch of a Civil War era southern mansion, see the first gold nugget as it's being sluced from the pan in the California goldrush, sip bathtub gin in a speakeasy while wearing a flapper dress, and see Elvis live in concert.

All of those experiences excite my imagination and make me wish for a way to be a part of a different time, but those times weren't easy, especially for women. Had the miricles of modern medicine not been around when I was born I likely would not have lived long, or if I had lived I would not have been of much use until eyeglasses were invented. The amazing advances in medicine, technology and the changes just in the way we think make this the time for me to live in.

Writer's Block: Step into My Closet

May. 8th, 2008 at 8:42 AM

How many pair of shoes do you have? Out of those pairs, how many do you wear more than a few times a year?

View other answers

Let's see... I don't currently have a lot of shoes. Here they are in the order in which I wear them the most. Oh, and I'm not counting slippers, even ones that I might sometimes throw on to go outside in.

1. Black MaryJane style Crocs
2. Chocolate Brown ballerina style flats
3. Hot Pink Beach style Crocs
4. White boring but comfortable sneakers
5. Dark Brown, almost Black patent leather high heel ankle boots
6. Black Doc Martens with Cheetah print laces.

I really want a pair of sandles for summer, maybe in silver or black, or even tan, but I'm not having luck right now finding something nice. It seems that a lot of the sandles out right now are "gladiator" inspired and they make my feet look huge. I need more heels for work. I know I need to stop wearing the black maryjane Crocs all the time, but they are comfortable and usually blend in ok.

Writer's Block: Such a Chore

Apr. 9th, 2008 at 8:25 AM

What's your least favorite chore?

View other answers

Doing dishes by hand. I hate getting all that gunk on my hands, I hate how much my hands have to be in the soapy water and feel all icky afterwards, I hate that I never seem to get all the gunk off with the first wash and have to wash them again. Then I hate having to rinse the sink out to rinse all the dishes. And you still have to hand dry everything and put it away before your done. *ugh* I'd rather clean the cat boxes.

Writer's Block: Lost & Found

Apr. 8th, 2008 at 9:15 AM

What have you lost that you wish you still had?

View other answers

I wish I still had the ring my parents gave me when I graduated 8th grade. I lost it my Freshman year of High School. I was in Home Ec and took it off for a project. I sat it on my desktop and when class ended I walked away without putting it back on. I realized what I'd done just a few minutes later, but it was already gone. I know one of my classmates took it and I wish they hadn't. It was a beautiful gold ring with 3 marquise cut rubies and 5 round cut diamonds. I still get teary eyed when I think of it and how stupid I was to lose it.

Mood: sad

Writer's Block: Where in the World...

Apr. 2nd, 2008 at 9:56 AM

If you were independently wealthy, where in the world would you live and how would you spend your time?

View other answers

I don't really know. I love it here in GA, and I'd probably have a Deltec Home (round, really kewl) built on some land in north GA. I'd also like to travel a lot and would probably end up renting places for a few months at a time in Ireland and Italy especially. I'd just travel and sight see for a long time, but when I was bored with that I would want to spend a good amount of time volunteering for animal rescue groups. I love it and wish I could do more than I do now.

Mood: cheerful

Writer's Block: blushes

Feb. 27th, 2008 at 8:13 AM

What is the most common compliment you receive?

View other answers

People usually compliment me on my hair. It's long and very curly and is one of my best features to look at, but it's also a pain in the butt for me to take care of. It's taken me years to be able to gracefully accept compliments on my hair without feeling like I have to tell the person how hard it is to care for, how much it tangles, it's frizzy, etc.

Actually I like both. I enjoy taking photos of people, places and our furry babies. I also like having pictures taken of me, even if I don't always like the way they turn out. :)

What Do You Have To Say? - Ten Years From Now...

Jan. 4th, 2008 at 9:41 AM

Where do you think you'll be in ten years?

View other answers

I have absolutely no idea. 10 years ago right about now I was not in a good place in my life. I've come a long way in 10 years. Met the love of my life, made many freinds who are my family now and just in the last 6 months I've made some huge life changes having WLS, moving to another state and starting a new job. I can only imagine what the next 10 years will bring. I'll be 40. Hopefully Wolf and I will own our own home and have more than one working vehicle. I hope to still be working for the same company though probably not in the same position. I hope to learn, grow, and enjoy life.

What is your favorite winter activity?

View other answers

Sipping on a warm and tasty beverage (maybe a coffee with some Irish Cream in it or a hot cocoa with peppermint schnaps) while reading a book in front of a fireplace. Not that it's happened in a long time, but it's still my favorite winter activity.

What Do You Have To Say? - Ah, Youth

Dec. 7th, 2007 at 9:03 AM

Describe one moment from your youth that is impenetrably seared into your memory.

View other answers

That would haveto be the night of my Junior year of High School's Homecoming Dance. A friend and I went to the dance together. He and I were both picked on a lot in school, but we loved to dress up and party, so we went together that year. We were out on the dance floor when all of a sudden this PITA football player came up and started to make fun of us and dance around us. At one point he touched my butt and I turned around and slapped him across the face, hard. The whole gym full of teens came to a stop. He then tried to slap me back but I moved and he just got the edge of my glasses and sent them skittering across the gym floor. That's when a teacher stopped it, and the boy was suspended.
