1. How do you feel about the marshmallow Easter Peeps?
I don't have any feelings whatsoever... I think they taste awful, but they have become a kinda cute iconic symbol for easter baskets (not Easter with a capital E and an empty tomb, mind you - just the cultural mass consumption of sugar & egg hunts!) The Washington Post as a highly entertaining Peeps Diorama contest. Check this out and then google to find previous years!
2. Chickens are notoriously nervous creatures. When you are nervous, what is the best way to calm down?
Knitting always helps with any nervous physical energy... I pray. I remind myself that the situation rarely involves life or death circumstances. I think of 3 things I'm thankful for... And sometimes just allow myself a brief moment or two or ten to panic and then deal.
3. People say, "April showers bring May flowers." Do you enjoy Spring rains?
I do... although we tend to get rain for 2 months. Never any really good thunderstorms, just incessantly intermittent rain. I like the rain when I don't need to be out driving around in it, but I don't like the mud it leaves behind.
4. When I was randomly flipping through TV channels this week, I saw a show in which tattoo parlor employees received tattoos of a co-worker's face on their bodies. I can't imagine having a portrait of a colleague tattooed on me. But if someone forced you to receive a portrait tattoo (face only) of anyone, who would it be? Why?
Noone. If I were forced, it would be Bailey.
5. Would you rather have a tattoo (any kind) or a nose ring?
um. No.
6. Do you have any special plans for Easter?
6. Do you have any special plans for Easter?
Church in the morning, and then since I'm 3000 miles from family, I will go to my "local" family - as I do for almost all holidays! We'll eat a lot of great food, enjoy some good wine and play games.
7. Cadbury Eggs or Reese Eggs?
7. Cadbury Eggs or Reese Eggs?
I love Reese cups, but Cadbury mini eggs are my easter candy treat.
8. What was the last thing/person you took a picture of?
The cutest puppy ever!
9. What book are you reading now, or what was the last one?
In the middle of Time Traveler's Wife for my book club... but I find it pretty annoying. I'm also reading The Cloister Walk and a fun mystery by Susan Wittig Albert (or is it Albert Wittig, or am I making up her name... ?).
10. What do you think is the most difficult task when it comes to Spring cleaning?
10. What do you think is the most difficult task when it comes to Spring cleaning?
All of it. With the tendonitis in my wrist, my already poor house-cleaning has completely gone out the (dirty) window. With house guests in a couple of weeks (and some dust/dirt-generating work by a contractor today & Monday), I've just decided to have a someone come do a thorough cleaning for me next week (a good use of tax refund money!).
11. How many pairs of flip-flops do you own?
Ummm... quite a few. I'll guess nine pair, but most are 'nice' flip-flop-style sandals, not the rubber flip-flops you put on for the beach.
12. Which color makes you happiest?
Right now... any bright colors in all the spring flowers appearing!
