Random Dozen #10

1. It's early morning, about 2:00AM, and you're driving home. You come to a red light and sit there. There is no one in sight for miles around. Do you wait it out or run the light?

I'm a first born, rule follower- I'd wait.

2. If you had the chance to re-do the last 24 hours, would you change anything?

I'd contact my fairy god-mother and have her bippity boppity boo on over here to poof this house in order. Outside the Box moved to his new place two days ago, but only after turning our house upside down and shaking it. The remaining treasures he didn't take with him are still scattered around the whole house.! Clean up in aisle one, two, three, four, five, six, seven....

3. When you reply to someones comment on your blog, do you reply in your comments or go to her blog and comment? (Or email her)

I've wondered about the best way to reply to someone's comment. I usually go to his/her blog and comment there. I figure people mostly do not return to see if I replied to their comment in my comments. Do people return? Mostly.

4. Your favorite Disney movie is: Old Yeller

5. Do you recycle? Yep. I.T. takes the recycling to work and separates it out there. Free.

6. Games of strategy or games of chance? Strategy is way more fun. And gratifying if I win. I love to win and hate to lose. Especially to I.T.

7. Do you have any recurring dreams? I used to. I haven't had that dream in quite a while, but now that you asked and I might be thinking of it, I will probably dream it. Nuts! I don't like that dream. I will have to do extra yoga tonight.

8. What did you learn from your first real job? How to count back change. Have you noticed that kids working in stores these days don't really know how to do that? Mostly.

9. Do you buy or borrow most books? I have the best deal on this one. I work in a Christian bookstore. We can take books home on consignment (free), read them and return them to the sales shelf. Unlimited! We do have to be extra careful with them. This way we get to know our product, can recommend books to customers better etc. It is a win/win if ever there was a win/win. Am reading The Silent Gift by Michael Landon Jr. right now. The store has really good deals on books quite often, too- then I buy one.

10. What fashion trend of the past did you say you'd never wear again but did? Cat-eye glasses.

11. When do you start Christmas shopping? Oh, about two hours before I need to give someone a gift or, if it's for the family, on Christmas eve, about 9:48 p.m.- at Walgreens, the only store open then. I give a lot of miniature crock pots. You know, those little potpourri burners and curling irons.

12. Have you ever been so happy that you literally jumped up and down for a few seconds? If so, what was the occasion?

I do this all the time. Last Thursday night at work, I thought I'd given a discount when I shouldn't have, but we looked into it and I actually gave the correct discount! I did it right! Yes! I jumped up and down with glee. The customer I was waiting on at the time (not the one getting a discount, she was long gone) started looking around to see what he was missing. It really is the little things. If you read my cousin, K.D.'s answer to #12, you might see that this quite possibly is a genetic thing for me.

Thanks for coming by. I've thought of the blogs every day, but too much life is happening here. I haven't been able to justify time in front of my computer. My son moved out, my parents' furniture moved in, I actually made it to my dentist appointment this time, we're off to Ohio to tour another college with Fash, my yard was full of leaves....you get the picture.
