Okay, picked up this fill-in from Heather. Enjoy.
1. If I could get away somewhere for the weekend I would go to: a B&B with my hubs. And I’m going to in a couple of weeks, celebrating our 14 years of marriage. Crazy.
2. Something I often rant about is: okay, 2 things. One, when you share something with someone and they respond with, “Well, it must be nice,” in a snarky, jealous way. I’m happy for you when something good happens to you, you should try and do the same (for me or anyone else). Two, when we feel we have to justify a purchase to someone just because they compliment us. (This will probably make more sense to the ladies out there.) When I say, “Ooohhh, your ring is really pretty,” Or, “I love that shirt!”, believe what I say. I don’t mean, “Wow, I really think that ring is pretty and it must have cost a fortune.” I really don’t care what you paid for it. I don’t need you to tell me that you found it on sale. I’m really just letting you know that I like it. It’s fine if you got a deal and want to share that with me, but that’s really not the intent of my compliment. I’m really just glad for you that you have something you enjoy.
3. One item I need to have in my fridge at all time is: Vanilla Yogurt. A big tub of it. It’s essential for our smoothies and parfaits. A few frozen strawberries, bananas, blueberries and yogurt in the blender and the kids think they’re having ice cream for breakfast.
4. My “life-saving” product is: Frizz-Ease by John Frieda. It makes my hair almost sane.
5. A friend is someone who: is honest, is there for you, rejoices in your joy, comforts and listens to you in your sadness, and doesn’t leave you for the newest model. I wonder if I’ve been guilty of that.
6. If I could write my own blank it would be: The next thing I want to learn to do is _________.
7. My favorite kind of art is: photography. It brings me so much joy. And Norman Rockwell paintings. I just love those.
My answer to Heather’s blank: Mark Harmon. Maybe I was twelve, though. Oh! And Jon Bon Jovi.
My answer to my blank: A cartwheel. Haven’t checked that off the bucket list, yet.
I love that you joined in on this!
My answer to your question would be to sew! My mother and two aunts were seamstresses, but when I tried to learn years ago the talent seemed to have skipped a generation. I am going to get a machine and give it another go, though… ultimately, I want to be able to quilt. I’m soooo seventy three.
LOVE these so much!
mA: I did try quilting a few years back. I’m not good at sewing with patterns, but I can do some straightish lines.
It was fun to complete a few, though. My MIL is a quilter and is quite inspiring. Now I just have a bunch of material in my attic waiting to become a quilt.
Deb: Thanks.
And thanks for listening when I need to rant! *hugs*
