Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. What would you say is your strongest sense?

If we're speaking of the five senses, I will have to go with hearing. I can pick up sounds very easily.

2. Do you believe in the idea of a 'sixth sense'? Why or why not?

I do. Why, you ask .... because I experience it regularly.

3. When do you most feel like a slave to time? Explain.

Mostly when it comes to mundane human needs such as preparing meals and sleeping. It's something that has to be done as much as I wish it wouldn't. It seems so sad to me to spend so much of one's life doing those necessities.

4. Have you ever worked in a restaurant? How would you rate the experience? If you could own a restaurant what kind would it be?

I have never worked at a restaurant.

If I could own one, I don't really know what kind it would be. Probably focusing on some type of elevated comfort foods.

5. Ever traced your family tree? Share something interesting you learned there.

I have not spent time tracing our family tree even though I know there are a lot of interesting things on it. I do know that any one bearing my maiden name is somehow related to me. I'm only 6th generation living in the U.S. The first one came over for an adventure, with his brother who was coming over to marry the love of his life. On the voyage over, the love-struck brother died leaving my great, great, great grandfather to deliver the news to his waiting bride. Somehow the two of them then fell in love and got married.

Their story really does sound like a book waiting to be written. :)

6. What did your childhood bedroom look like?

I had seven different bedrooms while growing up. The one I spent the most time in was really small. It had old boards for floors with sizeable cracks between them, which meant I never had to worry about using a dustpan when I swept my room. The walls were a very light pink. I had no door, only a heavy blanket nailed over the opening.

Aside from my bed I had a dresser, and a small interesting cupboard in it where I stored all my favorite things.

7. Anyone who knows me knows I love _______________________?

My family.

Maybe that's too obvious.

Those who know me well also know I really love music.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Our family does more of a homemade type Christmas. Because of that it means we are already beginning our Christmas preparations even though it's only the middle of October.
There's already an air of secrecy hanging in the house as people try to work on making gifts without anyone else discovering what it is they're working on.

Love this time of year!
