Wednesday Hodgepodge

1. Under what circumstances do you do your best thinking?

Complete silence and stillness. No distractions, no one bothering me. Just me, in an empty room with a pen and paper.

2. Are you a risk taker? What’s one big risk you’ve taken?

No, I wouldn’t say I am a big risk taker. I think probably because I have already lost so much in my life, I tend to play things very carefully. Perhaps sometimes too carefully.

3. Some of the most common phobias according to the National Institute for Mental Health are-fear of spiders (arachnaphobia), snakes (ophidiophobia), heights (acrophobia), fear of spaces from which escape is difficult (agoraphobia), fear of thunder and lightening (astrophobia), fear of dogs (cynophobia), injections (trypanophobia), social situations, flying (pteromerhanophobia) and fear of germs and dirt (mysophobia). True phobias affect only about 10% of adults, but of those listed which would you rate as your greatest fear?

Really dislike snakes and heights. I remember going up to the top of the Empire State Building and nearly getting sick. No, heights are not on my list of fun things.

4. Are you settled or do you feel the need to move somewhere new?

Eeventually I would like to move closer to my daughter and granddauughter. But where we are right now, is beautiful and I do love it.

5. What is something you find annoying when dining in a restaurant?

Loud talkers and loud laughers. On our last vacation at the table next to ours was a large group. Every night they laughed loudly (drunkenly) and talked like they were giving speeches in a large convention hall. We asked our waiter for help, but he was in an awkward position, as this was his table too.

6. Daffodil yellow, sunset orange, spring green, or sky blue…your favorite color this time of year?

Deep sky blue!

7. If you were going to take a holiday all by yourself, where would you go?

Hmmmm. Good question. I’d love to go to Paris and just go to museums each day. But then, I love the Carribean, and would love to go there and feel the warmth. Or Alaska and enjoy the majesty. Too many wonderful places in the world!

8. Insert your own random thought here.

Lili Marlene continues to assimilate into our home. The dackels have all been canine good citizens, and although they have not “welcomed” her, they have put up with her clumsey puppy ways. I remind them that one day she will be the big protector dog!

  1. Your new little Lili is so pretty! I’m glad she’s settling in well and the other pups are adjusting to her being there too. Have fun with her!
