AuburnChick's Adventures

Ok…so I’m having ANOTHER busy week.  I’ll elaborate in a few days.  Hence, the blogging has been…um…every other day even though I really have wanted to blog every day.  Unfortunately, I haven’t won the lottery yet, so I have a few less hours in the day to get everything done (is that ever possible anyway???).

Anyhoo, I’m taking the lazy way out, which means RANDOM DOZEN TIME!!!

1. Are you pleasant when you’re ill, or are you a grumpy, fussy patient?

Oh…definitely pleasant.  I’m a fairly brave sort, I think (except where it comes to xraying my teeth, during which I cry like a baby).  But, when I’m sick, I tend to talk less and be wayyyyy more accommodating and accepting of chores not getting done, etc.

2. When you find out that school is canceled (due to inclement weather) what is your gut reaction?

Can you say Pajama Day??  Oh my, but a hurricane day is a great excuse to stay in night clothes, not shower, and watch the History Channel all day!!  I absolutely love getting to stay home with the kids, even now when they are teenagers.  Yeah, I like those kind of days.

3. What is one domestic skill you wish you could improve?

Keeping my house clean.  I get distracted by the computer and knitting.  Cleaning is last on my list, and I don’t do it well.

4. Do you decorate your home for Valentine’s Day?

Nope.  Valentine’s Day is not really my thing.  I do have a heart thing to hang on my front door, but I usually forget to pull it out of the closet.

5. What song is on your mind today?

Not one song but a few…dance songs to name a few.  You might want to stay tuned to my blog during the next few days…

6. Do you prefer contemporary movies or classic?

Ugh…what kind of question is this?  Let’s go contemporary.  The filming is usually a better quality.  Although, I will admit that one of my favorite movies ever is Gone With the Wind.  You can’t get much more classic than that, eh?

7. How well do you “compartmentalize” your feelings? For example, how well can you put aside a really trying moment to deal with the immediate situation which is not related to the trying moment, e.g., putting aside a tiff with your spouse in order to finish wallpapering a room.

Not well at all.  My feelings tend to permeate my entire being.  I’m usually pretty happy, but look out when I’m not.  My mom used to tell me I wear my feelings on my sleeve.

8. What is the first thing that attracted you to your spouse? (Or if you’re single, to your best friend.)

He was new in town.  Growing up in a small town you know everybody.  A fresh face is considered fresh meat.  Sorry…but I grew up in the country where hunting is a sport.

9. When was the last time your heart raced?

Last Friday.  More to come in the next few days…watch the blog.  (I’m such a tease!)

10. What are your memories of Valentine’s Day at school?

Everyone else getting balloons and flowers.  I was ugly when I was in school (I’d like to think my looks have improved somewhat, but it’s probably just my confidence.).  It was a tense day, waiting to see if the boy I liked would like me in return and, thus, have something special delivered to me.  It didn’t happen but once…maybe.  Yeah, it was sad.

11. If you were going to receive candy for Valentine’s Day, which would you prefer?

Milk Chocolate.

12. Red or pink?

Red.
