5. Do you want/have kids? No on both counts.
6. Have you ever thought about converting your religion? I did it. Twenty years ago I left the Lutheran Church and became a Unitarian Universalist. It puts my Christian faith in such real-world perspective that it helps me live my beliefs.
7. Last shocking news you heard? My boss' son is back in the hospital, battling bipolar disorder. It's important to remember how heavily this must be weighing on him (because this past week he was such an asshole).
8. What was the last thing you drank? I have a glass of Rumchata right here.
9. Who do you most look like in your family? I don't really look like either of my parents, but I do resemble my Aunt Jo and her dad, my favorite grandfather.
10. If you could have something right now, anything, what would it be? Financial security for myself ... or for the Cubs to sweep the Cardinals Sunday. Either one.
11. Where does most of your family live? I have an aunt (my dad's side) and a cousin (my mom's side) who both live in/around Tampa.
12. Where did you grow up? About 10 miles from here.
13. Where do you want to go on vacation? Oh, I want to go back to so many places! Lately I've been daydreaming about returning to Hot Springs, AR. It's such a sweet, charming and relaxing place to spend a long weekend. I haven't been there in a decade and wonder if it's changed.

22. What is your favorite thing to eat with peanut butter? Strawberry jam.
23. Where were you on July 4th, 2008? Here. My dear friend John's birthday is July 3, so I suspect I was either celebrating it or Independence Day.
24. If you could go forward in time, how far forward would you go? I don't think I want to, but thank you for asking.
25. If you could go back in time, how far back would you go? This holds more romance for me. I'd like to visit the 1860s west. I don't want to stay there, but just visit and see what it was like.
Space hogs. Grrrrr!
ReplyDeleteI read an article about Hot Springs once and thought it sounded lovely. If I ever get to Arkansas....
My problem with "going back in time" is smell. Anything before indoor flush toilets were invented is a time I'm afraid I would not handle well.

ReplyDelete#10--yes!
ReplyDeleteI attended a couple of UU meetings and enjoyed them, but the nearest one is a 40 minute drive from me. Too far away. I think it is a very welcoming religion.
