One of my college friends sent me one of these silly emails today that I love to read because I'm curious and enjoy the peek into people's real lives. :)
Rather than forwarding it on to anyone else, I'm just going to answer the questions here. (I'm terrible at forwarding stuff like this on to others; I almost never do it.)
1. Where do you work? - at home! (the best and hardest job of all--stay-at-home mom)
2. What color are your socks right now? - navy blue
3. What are you listening to right now? - the low hum of the computer and the clicking noise as I type
4. What was the last thing that you ate? - chewable vitamin C tablets
5. Can you drive a stick shift? - yes, although I haven't done it in a while!
6. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? - navy blue
7. Last person you spoke to on the phone? - a lady from a church that we visited several weeks ago
8. Do you like the person who sent this to you? - of course! (why would someone that I didn't like send it to me? and even if they did, why would I ever admit publicly that I didn't like them?) but in this case, my college friend Amanda sent it to me; and I do really like her :)
9. How old are you? - 31
10. Favorite drink? - milk, straight from the cow
11. What is your favorite sport to watch? - ice skating or equestrian sports (although I can't remember the last time I've watched either!)
12. Have you ever dyed your hair? - no, but I've got quite a few gray hairs now, so I'm going to have to decide one of these days (weeks? months? years?) if I'm going to start coloring it or keep ignoring it :)
13. Any pets? - a dog named Molly, two white rabbits named Grandma Fisher (Josiah named her) and Snowball, and a bunch of fish
14. Favorite food? - spaghetti with butter and parmesan cheese
15. What was the last movie you watched? - The Ultimate Gift
16. Favorite day of the year? - that's a tough one...I've never thought about it...maybe New Year's Day???
17. What do you do to vent anger? - I usually hold it inside, but it comes out in the tone of my voice
18. Favorite childhood toy? - maybe an old porcelain doll named Peaches? maybe a miniature cast iron stove with pots and pans? maybe a little stuffed koala bear that I made little outfits for (involving cutting holes for the arms and legs and attaching it to the bear with pins--no real sewing!)?
19. Cherries or blueberries? - both!
20. When was the last time you cried? - yesterday, when my neighbor Wilma came over with her girls to wish David a happy birthday; and she started reading the book Love You Forever...when she started reading, I told her I can't read that book without crying...she thought I was kind of silly--until she started crying while reading it!...I discovered not only can I not read that book without crying, I can't even be in the same room while it's being read--or see the picture in it of the grown man cradling his little mother--without crying!!!
21. What is on the floor of your closet? - my shoes on a shoe rack, and various items to donate to a thrift store (that's my collection place for get-rid-of stuff)
22. What did you do last night? - sang happy birthday to David, took care of my sick Josiah, did loads and loads of laundry, blogged
23. Favorite smells? - probably cooking smells: cookies or a cake baking in the oven, or onions being fried to put into a recipe (that's probably Jeff's favorite smell...I always know that if I am frying onions when he walks in the door, he'll smile and say, "Yum, something smells good!")...I guess I like the cooking smells because I love to eat; and when you smell something cooking first, then your mouth starts watering, then you wait and wait and finally it's ready, then you sit down and eat it--ah, that is bliss!!! :)
24. What do you regret the most in life? - I'm going to copy Amanda's answer and say not having more patience
25. What are you most afraid of? - my children deciding to not follow God--and consequently, our family not being all together in heaven
26. Favorite types of hamburgers? - bacon cheeseburgers
27. Favorite breed of dog? - collie
28. Number of keys on your key ring? - five, I think
29. Favorite day of the week? - Sunday/Monday combo
30. Which states have you lived in? - Virginia, Pennsylvania, New York, California--and, of course, Israel
31. Favorite holiday? - I'll be traditional and say Christmas...although any holiday that gets family together is a good one in my book!
When did you live in New York? How long do you have to be somewhere to qualify it as living there?
ReplyDeleteI lived in New York for one summer during college, working on the music staff at Camp of the Woods (as you know very well). :) I counted it as living there because it was my residence for that summer. Does that qualify??? :)
