A couple of surveys have been floating around, so since I'm bored...
"This-or-That" from notfullyawake.com
Home fries, or crinkle fries? Braum's accordian-fries!
Paper or plastic at the grocery? Plastic.
Modern or classic art? Definitely classic.
Dine in or eat out? Not feeling well, take-out. Feeling well, cook up a storm.
Comedy or drama? I always take the opportunity to laugh over cry when possible.
Short fingernails or long? Too hard to type with long.
Do you own all matching bath towels or an assortment of different kinds? Not enough matching, but we try...
Building a snowman or making a snow angel? I love making snowmen!
Corrective lenses or none? None, but Todd says I'm blind and need them.
Rock & Roll or Country? Can't stand most country -- more "alternative" rock I guess.
And better late than never...the "Monday Mission" from PromoGuy:
Have you ever had your image of someone shattered beyond repair? Several times, but the most disappointing being by my own father. When I let him back "in" after the wedding, I really expected him to stay there that time. Obviously...not...and I'll never make that mistake again.
When we went to eat last weekend, I noticed someone checking you out. Does it bother you that I got quite jealous? I think it's great when people still find us attractive after all these years...means we're not letting ourselves go...and we both know who we come home to at the end of the day! Harmless jealousy is your special way of showing I'm still worth it. *g*
If someone is endangering themselves, is it OK to break a promise? Or is integrity and being trustworthy more important? Promises should be for situations of sound mind -- when that aspect is gone, safety is what's important.
What was the last audio CD you paid money for? REM's new "Reveal" CD.
Any songs on the radio that make you cry each time you hear them? "It's My Life" by Talk Talk, which is rarely played, but makes the floodworks turn on remembering a time long-gone by in my life... And I never listen to country stations so I seldom hear it, but by random chance if "Crazy" by Patsy Cline starts to play, I'll tear up too.
What audio CD(s) do you listen to from start to finish, where every song is good? Sarah McLachlan's Fumbling Towards Ecstasy, Letters to Cleo's Aurora Gory Alice, Frente's Marvin the Album (*high-fives Ashley*), Pixies' Doolittle, Violent Femmes' Violent Femmes -- and three soundtracks -- Threesome, Sliver and Great Expectations.
Who is your hero? Without question, my Gma. She was an orphan, yet became one of the best mothers and grandmothers in history. She didn't complete the 8th grade, yet became one of the most successful business women in my hometown. And she managed to find the love of her life not once, but twice, after my Popeye passed away. I wouldn't be the woman I am without her guidance, wisdom and love.
She's one of my heroes also. She's obviously my mother, but a great lady, and a wonderful Christian woman too, with ethics to try to emulate. Instead of her troubles giving her an excuse NOT to succeed, she used them as a REASON to try harder. Another hero of mine is YOU> you have succeeded when most people with your health gave up. Congrats girl. I'm proud of you.
