Ten on Tuesday with a Headache

I don't know how coherent and thought-provoking any of this is gonna be. I have been battling a raging headache most of the live long day.
I made the mistake of sweeping off the porches yesterday. Months worth of dust and the beginnings of some pollen, I'm sure.
I can hear the song playing in my hurtin' brain right now...

"It's the most wonderful time of the year...."

No. Not the Christmas version. My version. The one abut Spring time and Zyrtec and trips to the doctor. What? You don't know that version. I promise to fill you in someday.

But not today. Today belongs to Ten on Tuesday. And I am glad. My aching skull can't come up with too much.

I think Chelsea said these questions came from her hubby.

1. Of your current hobbies, which would you choose to spend more time, money, and effort on? Why?
Easy peasy. My scrapbooking. It is a LOVE that I have let die.

2. List the two other hobbies/habitual activities (not chores) besides the one listed above that you regularly do now and didn’t choose in question one.
Blogging and reading. But... there are WAY too many chores in there.

3. Why are you spending time on the above two hobbies/habitual activities at all if you really wanted to spend your time on the first one you chose? …or to put it another way, what are these two hobbies/habitual activities fulfilling that the first one doesn’t if you don’t want to put all your effort into the first hobby?
Ouch. The main reason? I am a perfectionist. If I feel like I can't sit down and churn out years worth of beautifully scrapped photos... Then I just don't sit down and do it. The other 2 require less effort and are a little more "instant gratification." I also know I'll be interrupted in my scrapping, and that irritates me, too. Gosh... They're terrible reasons.

4. Ready John 3:16 in the bible… In what way does this passage affect you? What are your feelings towards these words, positively or negatively?
Love it. Love it. Love it. Can I say it again? It is the reason I get up in the mornings and the hope I have when I don't feel like getting up in the mornings. It humbles me and makes me so very grateful. I do not deserve love like that.

5. M&M’s: nuts, no nuts, or peanut butter?
With peanuts. 100%. Although, that peanut butter kind is pretty tasty. 2 flavors that God meant to go together... peanut and chocolate.

6. Putting away the feeling of pride being a bad thing; what secretly/openly are you proud about yourself?
I am organized. I don't know if I can be proud about that, though, because of my motivation. I am only organized because I'd probably kill somebody if I weren't. I hate chaos.

7. Given one room in the house to do with what you want, not changing the actual size of the room and with all the money you would need, what would you do, and be specific? (this can range from bouncy floor,walls & ceilings; to hard wood floor with wood paneling and purple ceiling with a chair; to nothing)
Another easy peasy. The Den or Living Room. I don't know what you call it, but it's where we LIVE. I want new furniture... sofa, chairs, loveseats, ottomans, rugs. I'd love to paint (boo, ARMY housing). Hardwoods would be great. So would a new TV, as long as I'm dreaming.

8. What’s the next movie you’re going to see? Not what you’d LIKE to GO see, but the next movie you realistically are going to watch.
Probably the Netflix one that's been lying on the coffee table for 2 weeks... it's "G.I. Joe", I think. (Come on now, I live with a 10 year-old boy.) OR... I will take that boy with me this weekend to see Johnny Depp. I mean "Alice in Wonderland."

9. Use the keyboard only and make your best smiley/funny/cool face –> like this! 8^)
:^O I am not good at that. I like my email with the real little faces you just put in.

10. What makes you cry? What makes you pray? What makes you laugh?
You make think I'm making this up, but the same answer applies to all three. Everything! I cry at the drop of a hat (everything), I TRY to pray all the time (for everything), and (ask my friends and family) I laugh at everything. Even the stuff that nobody else is laughing at. Or, I make up something to laugh about.
