Ten On Tuesday

Woo hoo! I made it. Ten on Tuesday.



1. Fill in the blank. Sometimes I wish my life was more ______.
Hmmm... calm.

2. How do you cure the hiccups?
I can't. I've tried. And I get these GIGANTIC hiccups. Very loud and obnoxious. Not girly at all. Sneezes too. I was always jealous of those cute-sneezing girls in high school. You know the ones. They were short and curvy and sneezed like a mouse tooting. For some reason, all the boys loved that. And them. My sneezes and hiccups will rattle the windows. Not cute.

3. What are three of your favorite indulgences?
Starbucks
Pedicures in the summer ('cause I have heels to match my hiccups and sneezes and that's the only thing that makes them presentable)
People magazine.

4. Where is the most exotic place you would like to travel to? The most mundane?
Exotic? A rain forest or an African safari.
The most mundane? Anywhere with a beach, beach music, very few people, and good food. That might be exotic, too.

5. Does having your time planned out stress you or relax you?
Depends on who planned it out FOR me. I like planning my own time. Control relaxes me.

6. What are your favourite fabrics to wear?
Cotton. Are flip flops a fabric?

7. Do you sleep through the night?
No... if I drink coffee late or watch scary TV crime shows or if I think the boy is getting sick or if there's a criminal on the loose or if my cat is yowling like a freak or if I have something on my mind or if the next day is a "big day" for some reason. I guess I do sometimes, because I wake up and it's morning and not the middle of the night.

8. When you were younger, what did you think you would be doing at this age? How close is that to what you are doing?
I thought I would still be the same size I was then. Wrongo. I imagined myself as an interior designer or marine biologist. (Designing things for dolphins, I suppose.) I knew I wanted to be married and have kids. So, I AM married, but I stopped with one kid. I've been a teacher, a preacher's wife, and I am currently a chaplain's wife... not a marine biologist or a designer.

9. What has surprised you most about growing up?
How much better of a person the tough things make you. You hear that when you're younger, but you never really believe it.

10. Are you good at keeping secrets?
LOVE THIS QUESTION!!! I have a nickname... I am called "The Vault" by those who know me best. I am great at keeping secrets. (What people don't realize is that I usually forget whatever it is they wanted kept secret...)
