1. You have just been hired to clean your own home, what is your first complaint?  Don't you EVER clean under the bed?!!

2. Are you able to ignore a ringing telephone?  Yes.

3. How often do you allow a ringing phone to go to voice mail?  Not often but always if I have company, am in a store, or at a restaurant.

4. Do you answer your cell phone, out in public, every time it rings? Or do you silence it and get back to it when you’re in a more private area?  I don't answer in public if it will bother others.  I do use Silence often and always return voice mail.

5. How often would you say you’re on your home phone?  Hardly ever.  Your cell phone?  A few times a day... usually someone selling a car warranty.

6. Do you like talking on the phone or do you view it as a necessary communication tool?  My family and friends all know I am not a big phone talker.  I love hearing loved ones' voices but when my arm starts falling asleep, the call is too long. 

7. When did you last go for a bike ride?  Over two years ago.  Joe and I were looking for an adult tricycle and someone had one for sale. We both rode it but it was too short for our long legs.

8. Do you own a bike?  No.  See above.  Haven't found one tall enough yet.

9. Given the most popular New Year’s resolution of losing weight, would you consider putting bicycle riding as one of your exercise options?  I would if I had one. Why or why not?  Because it is good exercise.

10. If you had to name a smell that always makes you nostalgic, what would it be?  Chlorine.  What sorts of memories does the smell evoke?  It takes me back to when I was nine years old, with my first season pass to the town's swimming pool.  The chlorine smell was always strong, the teenagers played Ricky Nelson's Traveling Man on the jukebox (over and over) and I usually had enough money (10¢) for a frozen milky way candy bar on a stick.  It was one of those summers that, in retrospect, had a strong impact on my starting to grow up. Mom let me ride my bike there, all by myself, and I rode home when she told me to be home. (Can't imagine letting a young girl ride several miles alone today, but it was fine back then.)  I still know all the words to Traveling Man.

11. What did you do over the weekend? No detail is too small. This is your journal, so tell us about the mundane tasks in your life.  I cleaned and did laundry on Friday because I have company this weekend! I will tell you all about it tomorrow in my Weekend Recap!!

12. If it weren’t for my blog, I’d miss having all of my blogging friends, many of who have become in-person friends too!!

13. When was the last time you replied, “because I said so”? Do you find yourself saying that a lot? Or do you prefer to tell people WHY you want them to do something for you?  I don't know that I have ever said that, actually. When I was a supervisor, I always tried to tell an employee why they needed to do something and it was never 'for me' but was for our organization.

14. What is the worst gift you’ve ever received?  I have answered this one before.  When I was maybe 12 years old, a neighbor friend gave me a fuzzy pink hat for Christmas. I hated it and never wore it but didn't tell her.  She always gave us quirky gifts and I often wondered if she really intended for us to use or wear them...

15.  Tell us the worst gift you’ve ever given. What was the reaction of the recipient?  I have no idea, thankfully.  If I gave a bad gift, the person was nice enough to not let me know.

Peace & hugs!  Jesus loves you and me!
