I was recently tagged by Leslie over at Ruff Ruminations in her Eleven Things About Me post. I say recently but it's been a couple of weeks and I have been totally putting this off! So, here goes, and I might as well tell you I am a party pooper so I will be breaking rules #4 and #5. Sorry. :)
1) Do you consider yourself a blogger, mom-blogger or hobby blogger? Do you wish you were more (or less one of those?) I don't really think about this but, if pressed, I would say a mom-blogger.
2) Do you enjoy crafts or DIY? What is your favorite? I only enjoy looking at projects and thinking "I could totally do that!" One I actually start something I realize I am not that talented and it's a rude awakening.
3) If you had $50 million what would you do with it? I would hire full-time help, buy a home in the community of my choice and a pied-a-terre in another, and I would travel. Is that enough to do that? It would be a start at least!
4) What are you reading right now? The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt. Some of my online friends and I recently started a Facebook Group book club called The Social Readers and this is our first selection. (The group is open if you would like to join.)
5) Leslie left this question blank so... yay!!!
6) What is your favorite thing the kids in your life do? (Be you a Mom, Aunt etc) When my son wakes up in the morning he gathers up his two pillows, hands them to me, then hands me his blanket and says, "Bed!" We go to my room and snuggle in my bed for a while. It is definitely one of my favorite things!
7) What was your biggest fashion mistake ever? (post a pic if you have one) Does trying to cut my own bangs count? It was an epic fail! (I was 34 when I did this so you would think I would have known better.)
8) If honesty was always appreciated what would you say to strangers? I'm more of an observer of strangers and enjoy watching uniqueness in others so this is hard for me to say. If the question had ended with what would you say to someone that I know that would be a whole different story because I tend to be quiet rather than ruin relationships most of the time. Honesty is NOT always appreciated. LOL To strangers??? Maybe, "Don't touch my kids hands, you look like a very nice old lady but it doesn't mean your hands are clean."
9) If you could spend unlimited money on only one room in your house which would it be and what would you do? A sound-proof basement where the kids could play during the day, (hooked up to a video feed so I could see that they were okay) and where grown-ups could hang out after the kids were in bed without waking them up. Perfect set-up! Wait, did I just say that I never want to be around kids??? NO! I just want the option for some safe separation time! LOL
10) What is your favorite part of yourself? What do you envy in other people? This is like an awkward interview question where you want to be just honest enough that they admire your transparency and just witty enough that you distract them enough they don't realize you are BSing. Right? My favorite part of myself would be that I am adaptable to almost any environment. Put me in a room full of strangers and I could find something to like and relate to with each one. What do I envy in other people? I envy people who are graceful and poised at all times because I can be a little klutzy at times. OK, most of the time.
11) Owls are really "in" right now, what do you think should be the next "it" animal and why? In Calgary, the new "in" animal will be the penguin because of our new exhibit at the Calgary Zoo!
