Time for some Randomness

I have no energy to blog.  I have been crazy painting, but there is a light at the end of the tunnel.  So in the meantime, enjoy this batch of blah, blah, blah.

1. It's early morning, about 2:00AM, and you're driving home. You come to a red light and sit there. There is no one in sight for miles around. Do you wait it out or run the light?

I wait it out.  I know that if I ran it, I would get caught.  Murphy’s law.

2. If you had the chance to re-do the last 24 hours, would you change anything?

I would pour out the last of the trim paint and paint all the trim and see if it lasts before I went to Home Depot and bought another can and then ran to 3 more stores looking for something and wasting 1 1/2 hours of my morning when I could have been painting.

3. When you reply to someone's comment on your blog, do you reply in your comments or go to her blog and comment? (Or email her)

I try to email, but a lot of people have a “no-reply” email address, so I reply in my comments.

4. Your favorite Disney movie is:

The Little Mermaid.  I love, love, love that show!

5. Do you recycle?

Yes.  I do my best.

6. Games of strategy or games of chance?

Chance.  I absolutely hate games like Risk or Settlers.  I detest them!  I love Uno!

7. Do you have any recurring dreams?

When I was little, I had a nightmare.  I was at the end of my street on my bike and there was a big group of people coming towards me.  When they got close enough, I saw that they didn’t have any faces.  It was just blank.  I raced home and my dad was in the driveway working on our car.  I told him what had happened and he turned around and his face was blank too.  Then I woke up.  I have had that dream several times throughout my life.  Then a few years ago, a movie came out where the people didn’t have any faces.  I was freaked out!

8. What did you learn from your first real job?

My first real job was helping my parents clean doctors offices when I was 8.  We went every night and cleaned and my parents paid us.  I learned to save money and budget and to work for what I got.  By the time I was 12, I was buying all my own clothes and toiletries and school fees.

9. Do you buy or borrow most books?

I buy, because I like to read them over and over.  I will never regret buying books.  My mom instilled in me a love of books, and I have instilled that in my own kids.

10. What fashion trend of the past did you say you'd never wear again but did?

Nothing.  I see kids wearing leg warmers and pegging their pants and I laugh at them! 

11. When do you start Christmas shopping?

December 26th.

12. Have you ever been so happy that you literally jumped up and down for a few seconds? If so, what was the occasion?

When I got engaged and when I found out I was pregnant for the first time.
