Hello

Linda at Stray stitch's posted this little get to know one another. She has been a wonderful blogging friend who has been sweet and helpful with getting me up and going.When she asked, I jumped.

Who Are You & Who Am I
Copy and paste, and then answer the questions, and tell me you did so I can learn about you, too!

1. Sweet or Salty? Sweet! No doubt it. I like sugar.

2. Dresses or Jeans? Jeans is what I wear most of the time. But during the summer I love my dresses. And there is no better pick me up to wear a dress.

3. House or Apartment? House- I like to have my space. Not to mention I wouldn't live without the opportunity to play in the dirt.

4. Shop Online or Offline? Both- for each there is a good reason.

5. DVDs or Downloads? Once again both- probably because we have children. It's wonderful when they go upstairs to watch the movie for the hundredth time, and I don't have to. Funny thing is even from another room I find myself singing along.

6. Cocktails or Juice? More often juice- I would love an occasional drink. I suffer from migraine's and too often I would pay for having a drink.

7. Chocolate or Strawberry? add ice-cream and we'll call it all good.

8. Laptop or PC? laptop-probably because the laptop is mine for school purposes, and has all my favorite stuff marked. Or the fact that the teenager who lives in my house takes control of the PC.

9. Magazines or Newspapers? Newspaper

10. Facebook or Twitter? Facebook-although I try to avoid it to a certain extent. There is such a thing as knowing too much information about a friend. And at times it feels as if I'm peeping or someone else is.

11. CDs or MP3s? I-pod's -everyone in my house has one. We use them here and there and everywhere. The special one even uses his ipod touch to communicate when he's not understood.http://http//www.proloquo2go.com/About/article/what-is-proloquo2go

We are embarrassing technology.

12. Kids or Pets? Both- the kids are easier to clean up after though.

13. Cookies or Cupcakes? Cookies- love them!

14. Walk or Run? Walk!

15. Breakfast in Bed or Breakfast Out? How about breakfast in- Most days of the week my hubby leaves the house for work, before the rest of us are out of bed. So on weekends, he makes big breakfasts. I think that I'll keep him.

16. Market or Supermarket? You'll hear me whine about both. Probably because it seems like I'm forever there. Have I told you I have teenage boys?

17. Sourdough or Grainy? Sourdough- with Nutella. That's my kind of breakfast, snack, whatever.

18. Heels or Flats? Flats. No real reason to torture your feet.

19. Late nights or Not? Occasionally-I prefer early mornings in stead.Mornings is when I'm the most productive.

20. Coffee or Tea? Coffee- in the morning, Tea- anytime.

Well, do you think you might know me a little better now? How about you? Will you share your choices with us? If you do would you let me know? I'd love to have you be my blog neighbor. (I grew up on Mr. Rodger's Neighboorhood. I'll be signing that song all day.)

I was at Lowes last weekend and meet a woman I didn't know. We had a conversation about amaryllis's. How she had one the year that her father passed away. How she hasn't had one since. I listened, and we both walked away with one. Probably never to meet or know one another again. But I'm glad I was there.

Before we say our goodbye today I want to share my own little peeve, and that is that we (society) doesn't socialize anymore. We don't say hello, or talk to a stranger in the store. When at college I see people right next to each other using technology to talk, to one another. Umm hello, your right next to the person. It's amazing what you can learn about one another, if you just open up with a Hello. Try it sometime, you might make a new friend!
