We Want to Know

{1} You have been asked to give a 10 minute speech to teenage girls. What is it about?

Learn who you are before you decide to share your life with someone else.

{2} Do you have a pet? Tell us about them. No pets? Why?

 Two cats – Fanny and Tooky. I’ve had them both for 11 years. They keep me sane living in this house alone.  My late husband taught Tooky to jump up against the wall to beg for treats and he still does it, though he doesn’t get as far up as he used to.

{3} What is the biggest inconvenience about the place you’re currently living?

 It’s 500 miles away from my family.

 {4} What do you think is the single best decision you have made in your life so far?

 I’m not sure I’ve made any good ones yet.

 

{5} What are the THREE "nevers" of your life? (things you would never do or have never done)

I have never made the first move in any relationship. Afraid of rejection. Never pass up a good meal (groan!).  Never kept my house too clean. (LOL!)

We Want to Know Wednesdays

1.        Everyone seems to have a quirky family situation. What is something unique about your family dynamic?

My father, sister, three daughters and 6 of my grandchildren live in Kentucky and Cincinnati.  I am all alone in Georgia (except for my faithful kitties).

2.       What is the most stressful aspect to blogging (aside from the network going down).

So many blogs-so little time! I like to follow a lot of blogs, but sometimes I can’t keep up with all of the posts and still have time to post myself, and then craft and do other mundane things like cleaning and eating.

3.       We all end up on a blog at some point in our day, but name your top three favorite websites you flock to daily (non-blog).

Facebook, eBay, TV Guide website

4.       What’s your sign?  Believe in it or not, does any part ring true to you?

My birthday is July 2 – Cancer. Descriptive signs are emotional and loving, intuitive and imaginative, shrewd and cautious, protective and sympathetic.  Negative signs are changeable and moody, overemotional and touchy, clinging and unable to let go.  Sounds pretty accurate.

5.       Ice cream!  ICE CREAM!! We all scream for ice cream.  Name your favorite flavor/brand.

Butter pecan – anybody’s.

Wednesday - We want to know!

{1} If the blogging world had a talent show, what would your act be?

It would be the act that they use to clear out the house before the next performance begins.

{2} What's the most likely reason you might become famous?

I have to go into the past for this answer: My Tommy Lee Jones and/or Sopranos Websites, now defunct.  My Tommy Lee Jones website resulted in an email correspondence between Lowell Cunningham (the Men in Black comic book creator) and myself.  He put in a plug for my website in a European cinema magazine.  My Sopranos website, based upon the food that was featured in the episodes was written up in 3 newspapers, including the Atlanta Journal Constitution, which featured an article about my website which included a color photo!  Oh, also I had a monthly essay column in a local newspaper for about 4 years.

{3} What question are you repeatedly asked that you are tired of hearing?

Is your hair naturally curly?  YES!

{4} What's the last thing you broke?

My pledge to stop eating potato chips.

{5} Finish this sentence. I can't believe... I used to weigh 99 pounds and my  wedding dress was size 6.

  

We Want to Know

1.} What must you do before you go to bed at night?

Remember to take my last pill and overnight insulin

2.} What is one thing you must snack on at the theater?

 POPCORN – drenched in butter. It is dark in the theater and no one can see me eating it, so it doesn’t count, right?

3.} Before going on vacation what must you do?

Check my travel list and be sure I have someone to check on the cats.

4.} What is one thing you must do every day?

 Check my email.

5.} Is there something you do that must be done in a particular order?

Put my cell phone on the charger, then put a clothes pin on my purse strap so that I remember that the phone is not in my purse, and I don’t leave my phone behind.
