Ten on Tuesday is Back!

Ten on Tuesday never went away. I did.
I went on a crazy long vacation and then had a blogging brain block.
But it's nice to be back.


1. How do you take your coffee on an average day? How do you like your coffee if you’re splurging?
On an average day, I use flavored creamer (if I have it) or just plain old creamer with some sugar. If I am Starbucks bound, it's a Cinnamon Dolce Latte. But that changes from time to time. Especially when the holidays roll around. It's safe to say I like a little coffee with my flavors and sugar.

2. What is your genre of books to read?
I'm not too picky here. I read a lot... mystery, medical, Southern, fiction, non-fiction, cookbooks, Children's Literature, Christian, and People magazine (Does that count?) I do not like Romance Novels... at all. I've even tried to read a few. I don't mind a love story in whatever I am reading, but those corny titles and pictures make me cringe.

3. Where do you want to retire, if you could go anywhere?
It's my first week back at T on T, and I am already beginning to bore you.
The beach. Specifically, a giant house on the Atlantic Ocean... with sea turtles nesting on my front lawn. Because my front lawn would be the beach.

4. The 17-year-old you is told to write a 10-minute speech. What topic would you have picked?
The 17 year old in me? You mean the one from the late 80's? Oh goodness. It would be a speech called "AP Art is the Coolest Class" or "How to Get Your Bangs to Stick Up to Their Maximum Potential." Or maybe "If I Could Marry Jon Bon Jovi."

5. What word describes you best?
Real. (I think.)

6. What is the next “event” that you are looking forward to? (ex.: vacation, moving, date, job change, etc)
We are going on a short little trip with our oldest friends! Let me say that another way... They are not OLD. We have known them a long time! Since BK. "Before kids," not "Burger King." We are taking ourselves and our kids (us-1, them-3) to the mountains for a get-away/reunion.

7. Do you like to discuss controversial topics or do you prefer to avoid those types of conversations?
Ugh. Avoid. Unless I feel "safe" with the folks I am discussing them with... Which means, we agree on the controversial topic!

8. Would you rather add 4 free hours to each day, or add 1 extra day to the week?
Oooo... an extra day to the week! But it would be a weekend day.

9. If you created a sports team; what would your colors and mascot be?
The Sea Turtles. And their colors would be brown and green. And I would cheer them on from the porch of my beach house... where I will be watching their game and eating snacks with friends.

10. If you had to be a teacher, what subject would you teach?
I was a teacher... and I am not sure I could go back. Kids know too much nowadays. And I am apparently 65. If I could choose one subject, it would be Art or Photography, so I could go back to school to get all brushed up on the subject.
