First real journal entry

Sep 17, 2008 14:05

Well, there is a first time for everything -- or shall I say you can teach an old dog new tricks? Anyway, I've been telling myself I would start this journal for a long time - and here I am, finally, over a year later. At any rate, it is an uneventful Wednesday - my daughter is due to come home from school any time now, my younger son is home ill, ( Read more... )

And I get to be your very first comment! Actually, my LJ layout is also one of theirs. I'm not nearly clever enough or motivated enough to make one of my own. But I am happy with it. I like yours as the green seems to suit you, as do the trees at the bottom.

Okay, as promised here are my answers to the meme!

1) Are you currently in a serious relationship?
A. No

2) What was your dream growing up?
A. To be an art teacher

3) What talent do you wish you had?
A. The talent to walk gracefully...yes, I do believe it's a talent!

4) If I bought you a drink what would it be?
A. Depends on where we are and if I have my regular bartender. If that's the case, one of his raspberry specials, if not how about a mai tai or margarita?

5) Favourite vegetable?
A. Summer squash with butter, salt, and pepper

6) What was the last book you read?
A. Walking Ollie by Stephen Foster...As dog books go, it wasn't all that great ( ... )

Thanks for the compliment on the layout - I kind of felt like the trees reflected where we are in life right now - and what can I say, I love trees! (It's a good thing as there is no shortage of trees in the Pacific Northwest!)

2) What was your dream growing up?
A. To be an art teacher

So do you draw or paint much in your spare time?

5) Favourite vegetable?
A. Summer squash with butter, salt, and pepper

I forgot about squash - I really like any kind of squash!

11) What is your favourite sport?
A. Right now...baseball...Go Cubs!!! (Magic number = 2)

Well - don't hit me but I've always been a White Sox girl myself (though I have many friends - including my sister in law - who are Cubs fans and they still like me in spite of this flaw *hee*

27) What's your favourite place to hang at?
A. Friday's

It's been a long time since I've been at a Friday's (I'm not even sure they have them here) - so if I'm ever back in Chicago perhaps we could get together at a Friday's.

Trees are a good thing...except when there are bugs hanging from them! ;)

So do you draw or paint much in your spare time?

Not at all. We did a lot of crafty type things when I was in art class in grade school, and I enjoy that. I don't do nearly enough of it anymore. (I'm too busy writing smut! ;)

I forgot about squash - I really like any kind of squash!

Summer squash is my favorite, and I haven't had it in ages. I don't get the opportunity to cook much, because my mom hates when I'm in her kitchen.

Well - don't hit me but I've always been a White Sox girl myself (though I have many friends - including my sister in law - who are Cubs fans and they still like me in spite of this flaw *hee*

*gasp* As soon as my heartbeat slows, I'll forgive you. Actually, the Sox are doing quite well now, too. I'm not sure what their magic number is just now. Cub are down to 1. (They would have clinched yesterday if they hadn't lost...at least Milwaukee also lost.)
