Ask Me a Question v. 4.28.16

Changes with the days of the week, but usually yes. Typically timed around when others need to get out of the house.

When is the earliest you'd like to leave in the morning?

I work varying hours, usually late morning and afternoon and evening, so it depends.

Does getting up, having a cup of coffee as I watch the sun come up as I sit at the counter, qualify?

Do you have a song, that is guaranteed to make you smile and sing along?

Lately, I'm on an Oldies kick and it has been Please, Mr. Postman, by the Marvelettes although Neil Sedaka's Calendar Girl also makes me smile

Do you prefer having a regular schedule or something that changes daily?

Working schedule is regular, but all the things on either side of that schedule vary day by day.

What would you change about your schedule, if you could?

it would become predictable and resources would allow for my personal time to be uninterrupted.

How much time do you give yourself in the morning to collect your thoughts before you actually begin your day?

I'm out of bed the minute the alarm goes off, in the shower in 5, so the ~ten minutes I'm in the shower is "my" time

If you are on a 5 on/ 2 off schedule. would you switch for a 4 on/ 3 off schedule, even though that would make the 4 on longer days?

They haven't gotten my damn working jet pack yet. Seriously though - next to nothing. I am at a very good point in my life and my daydreams tend to be simple flights of fancy. The things I want I can generally achieve with a little effort.

Imagine you have a single empty shelf on a simple white wall. What would you put on the shelf?

A photograph
A flower
And a poem

What is your oldest possession and why do you keep it?

What is your oldest possession and why do you keep it?

At least twice in my life I've nearly completely purged all my possessions. I have a very small lacquer jewelry box that has survived each purge and inside of it is the wedding ring that belonged to my great aunt. It's probably over a hundred years old. It was given to me by one of her sons as a token of appreciation - I've offered to return it to her children several times, but they can't decide who gets it. Until they do, it resides in the box with a few other special mementos.

Among your treasured possessions do you hold onto something that is very ordinary, but heavily laden with memories, good or bad?

Many...that's what makes them treasured.

What was the last thing to inspire you?

I was invited to participate in moon thinking.. It was fun to dream big

How far would you have to drive to feel like you got away from it all?

About 10 miles to a small mountain town with a great little rental cabin place.

What kind of things would you rather run away from than deal with?

People who say they love me. Relationships. Car problems. House repairs.

Would you rather live in a high rise condo in Vegas, a large home in gated community near Disney World or a house in the countryside?

I'd go condo. I love all the distractions and convenience of urban living.

Would you rather have a small intimate place to live or a big post modern open floor plan?

open floor plan all the way!

What is your favorite car of all time?

 

[GiggLeGasm]

open floor plan all the way!

What is your favorite car of all time?

the Lexus SC 430.. such a short run for a great little car. The Z4 also has a special place in my heart; but more because of why he bought it

(I said.. "I'm pretty sure that's the only car I'd ever have sex in..." and then he showed up with one! )

What's your quick pick-me-up when you need a nap and can't?

1970 Chevy Nova (shout out to the first car I owned that I truly loved).

Music - something mad I can sing and dance along with.

You're in your car and that song comes on...do you let go, sing loud, and seat dance or just sit back and enjoy it.

Sing loud and dance!

Do you karaoke?

 

[LizVegas79]

Sing loud and dance!

Do you karaoke?

After enough champagne or tequila shots - like a rock star!

Do you ever thumb thru old albums when you see them in a corner at an antique store or used book store?

I do - with gusto (and some actual singing ability)

Oh yes, we're fortunate here to have two great used music stores and they're perfect for wandering through and finding hard to find things and the great nostalgia. There is nothing like old school album art.

When you're out with people is their lots of laughter or lots of intense conversations?

Both. There tends to be lots of laughter and intense conversation. And yes, some small talk and trivial conversations...

What do you sing in the shower?
