Wednesday Random Dozen....

I thought I would jump into these fun questions from Linda@2nd Cup of Coffee again. It's kinda fun!

1. Please share one middle school memory. It can be good, bad, ugly, funny. Pictures or words, I don't care, just share.
I really wish I had some pictures of me from those years. (We called it Junior High back in those days.) I remember my mom encouraging me to sign up for choir. I am glad she did because I don't know that I would have found out how much I like to sing if I hadn't started singing in choir then. I didn't think I could sing because my older sister always told me I couldn't. (But then that same sister wanted me to sing at her wedding...hmmm...) Now I sing on our church's worship team and just love doing that.

2. What's your favorite Beatles song?
"Hey Jude" of course! :) My son even has it as the ring-tone for when I call him.

3. If I asked you to describe your most comfortable outfit, what would it be?
Do pajamas count as an outfit?

4. Would you rather host a party or be a guest?
I really enjoy both. Hosting a party is fun and I usually don't stress out over it, or if I do, the stress is short-lived. We recently hosted an Open House for the newlyweds, Caleb and Amanda. I had a minor panic attack shortly before it started, but my dear husband calmed me down and it turned out to be a great party!

5. Do you think we will move completely from traditional books to digital ones, and if we do, are you OK with that?
No, I don't think traditional printed books will ever go away. I haven't tried to read a digital one yet, but it doesn't seem appealing to me. One thought....you never run out of battery power when reading a traditional book.

6. Do you learn best by reading, listening or experiencing?
Experiencing mostly. When I sewed garments I would tend to just look at the pictures on the directions before I resorted to read the actual words. Sometimes it got me into trouble.

7. If you are (or when you were) single, what is the kiss of death for you concerning the opposite sex? (That is, what is one trait or behavior or habit or anything at all that immediately turns you off from considering that person a potential match for you?)
Someone who talked about themselves all the time and/or acted like they knew the answers to everything. Thankfully I haven't been single for a VERY long time.

8. Snacks. Salty or sweet?
SALTY. But I can't pass up a good Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie.

9. Look around you in a four foot radius. What object is around you that you didn't realize was there or forgot was there? How long has it been there? Ummm...I'm sitting in the family room and I don't see anything that isn't supposed to be there. Does that mean I am a little OCD? Or maybe it speaks to the fact that there are no children living here anymore. Yeah, we'll go with that one. :)

10. What is your favorite Tom Cruise movie?
I can't think of a favorite off the top of my head. I don't think I've seen too many of his films. "Top Gun" comes to mind and that was a long, long time ago.

11. You buy a bottle of shampoo and discover that you don't like what it does to your hair at all. What do you do with that full bottle?
I would probably keep using it, alternating it with a shampoo I liked, until my husband told me that was stupid and that I should just throw away the stuff I didn't like.

12. Your favorite Fall comfort food? (Last week it was beverage.)
Chili and cornbread. And I have been thinking about making Lasagna and last night I made yummy Baked Spaghetti. Oh, then there are the homemade soups... lots of yummy food I'm looking forward to cooking!
