Stolen from Peachristy

1. What kinds of things do you like to write?
Journals, blogs. I wish I could write my own poetry. My son is a very prolific poetry writer, but I’m the only person who has the patience to “decode” his writing. If I spend the time to really look at what he’s written I can edit it, and it’s beautiful. I always ask my son to review my edits to insure I got it right.

2. What is your favorite genre of movie?
Romantic Comedy. 

3. Your favorite song?
I don’t know that I have a favorite, there are so many I like. Bohemian Rhapsody is one of many favorites. It’s my son’s favorite and I get a kick out of getting him to join me in our version of carpool karaoke.

4. During what situation do your eyes shine the brightest?
Probably seeing my kids happy.

5. Summer or Winter?
Winter. I don’t like the heat.

6. What do you do when you are angry?
Stew. And grumble. Like I am right now.

7, Sleep with lights on or off?
Either. I prefer the lights off to keep the electric bill down, but I have difficulty falling asleep. If I manage to fall asleep with the lights on, I just turn them off when I get up for the bathroom.

8. Are you ok with eating alone in a restaurant?
I am. Of course not now during the pandemic. I don’t think I’ll feel comfortable dining inside at a restaurant for quite some time. When I was single, before kids, I dined out by myself all the time. I moved to Chicago not knowing anyone, so it was either dine out or get carry out, and staying in a 1 bedroom apartment all the time wouldn’t be a good thing.

9. Texting or calling?
Depends on who I’m contacting.

10. What’s your favorite thing about yourself?
My sense of humor.

11. How do you act when you’re scared?
Anxious. Heart beating in my ears.

12. When you look at the sky do you first look at the moon, or the stars?
Whichever I notice first. Where I live it’s quite easy to see the stars at night.

13. Do you approach strangers when you are lost?
No. Just because I recall my first job working at a gas station in the late ‘70’s, early ‘80’s. I inadvertently gave wrong directions and it wouldn’t occur to me until the person had driven off. I never purposely did it. I’d rather rely on my Navi in my Buick, or look it up in my phone. 

14. Tea or Coffee?
Coffee. Folger’s 1850. One of the light roasts. Only the 1850, not regular Folger’s. I started drinking coffee at 22 years old when my Mom passed away suddenly. I didn’t sleep for days and I had quite a bit of coffee that week. I just took up drinking coffee regularly after that. My Mom always said ‘coffee is for grownups’, so I figured since my Mom passed away I needed to be a grownup.

15. With sugar? Milk? Lemon? Anything else?
Black, unless I’m away from home and the coffee is too strong, then 1/2 and 1/2.
