Art, writing, music, charity, babies, food, and I seem to talk about Doctor Who a lot these days. Also systemic disease, but I can't say I like that very much.
I wanted to play the piano, drums, and saxophone when I was a child. I'd settle for almost any instrument at this point, because I'm an old woman and still can't play a thing. I've wanted a hammered dulcimer for years, and I had planned to take guitar lessons a while back but never got the chance. Currently in my possession is an Appalachian dulcimer, a penny whistle, and an Irish tin whistle, so I should probably start with those.
Do you have a nickname? What is it?
My BFF calls me Squirrel. I call him Moose. If you're too young to remember The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle, this probably doesn't make much sense.
What can you do to make this world a better place?
Have genuine compassion for humanity, and make every effort to act upon it.
What fruit do you eat the most often?
Tomato by a million miles.
What perfume are you wearing today?
I'm allergic to fragrances. However, I sometimes use Avon Naturals Vanilla Body Spray. I also have Cucumber Melon (that one kills my allergies, though), Peach, and some kind of Mango Pomegranate something or other. I use very sparingly and I've had some of the same bottles for years.
Who was the last person you talked to?
Face to face? Diane. Text? John.
What do you think is the best gift for wedding?
I suppose the most ideal gift would be something from the wedding registry. If they don't have one, perhaps a gift card. I gave a slow cooker to the bride and groom of the last wedding I attended. Last I heard, they love it and use it often. It really depends on the recipient in question.
Did you know that bae/bæ danish is for poop?
I did know that. All the more reason to ban the slang usage of it. Drives me nuts!
What is worse: a cockroach in the kitchen or a spider in the bathroom?
Nothing is worse than a cockroach. They are the bane of my existence.
Which word do you want everyone to stop using?
Bae! I hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you had $5 left in your pocket what would you spend it on?
This is me at the end of every month. I spend it on food.
Name three things you have never done, but would like to do?
1. take a pottery class 2. fly on a plane, in hot air balloon, or whatever 3. publish a book (working on it)
Do you think you're brave?
No, but that doesn't stop me from fighting for my life and things that matter.
What was the smartest decision you have ever made?
Divorce.
What song makes you want to dance?
Way too many to name. :)
What would you never post online?
I don't post intimate details about my relationships online, and I don't like it when others do either. I've removed lifelong friends for airing the good, bad, and ugly of their sex lives on Facebook. So incredibly disrespectful and inappropriate.
