Found these on another blog and borrowed them...don't know why there are only nineteen and not twenty, but since I stole them, I won't complain.
1. If you have pets, do you see them as merely animals, or are they members of your family? My pets are definitely members of the family. I have two cats right now. I've had other cats and dogs in the past. They live in the house, sleep on my bed and are mourned when they die.
2. If you can have a dream to come true, what would it be? That my granddaughter's, my brother's and my hearing all be restored to normal.
3. What is the one thing most hated by you? Intolerence...accompanied by violence.
4. What would you do with a billion dollars? Give some to each of my family members to make their lives comfortable - Children, grandchildren, siblings, nieces, nephews...and a couple of friends. Then settle down somewhere and start traveling. Would also likely give to some favorite causes if I had that much money.
5. What helps to pull you out of a bad mood? Laughter, my grandkids, hugs...
6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone? Very tough question. Being loved is the greatest feeling in the world...but so is loving someone whole-heartedly. It must be a toss-up, but going to say loving someone as giving is more rewarding than receiving.
7. What is your bedtime routine? Don't have much of one. Off with the clothes, under the covers, read for a little while and spoon if I'm not alone.
8. If you are currently in a relationship, how did you meet your partner? Kind of have two semi-relationships right now - see my other blog Auntie G's Adventures in Online Dating for details. I met them both online. One through eHarmony and the other through SeniorPeopleMeet.com
9. If you could watch a creative person in the act of the creative process, what would it be? Never gave this any thought. I lived with an artist for a while and watched him create beautiful paintings from blank canvas. Also lived with a writer and saw that process. Maybe watch the process of composing music...or the process of a stage production.
10. What kinds of books do you read? Legal thrillers, political fiction, mysteries, current fiction, some non-fiction...to name a few...Not fond of short stories.
11. How would you see yourself in ten years time? Happily coupled, well-traveled and enjoying my grandkids...
12. What’s your fear? Growing old alone.
13. Would you give up all junk food for the rest of your life for the opportunity to visit outer space? Don't have any real desire to visit outer space...too many places on this planet I haven't seen yet. Of course, it would be in my best interest to forego junk food for the rest of my life...
14. Would you rather be single and rich or married but poor? Really tough one since I want to be neither single nor poor. Single and rich...and living with someone??? Not sure which way to tip the scales. Married, but poor...if it was happily married.
15. What’s the first thing you do when you wake up? Should I state the obvious? Head for the bathroom...
16. If you could change one thing about your spouse/partner what would it be? Well, don't actually have one right now...two potentials are more like it. I like them just the way they are - if I could change one thing about whoever becomes my partner, guess it would be to have him be rich. Money doesn't buy happiness, but it sure makes life easier.
17. If you could pick a new name for yourself what would it be? Katie was my favorite name for a long time, but it now belongs to my granddaughter. Sooo will have to come up with a new one. Used to like Abby when I was a young girl and Sarah when I was in my twenties...
18. Would you forgive and forget no matter how horrible a thing that special someone has done? I would try, but there are somethings I could not forgive no matter how special the someone is.
19. If you could only eat one thing for the next 6 months, what would it be? It would have to be Italian food. I could never give that up. Of course, I'd weigh three hundred pounds in six months...
