Appetizer: When someone smiles at you, do you smile back?
Of course I do – I believe the English word for anyone who wouldn’t is “prick”. When I get a smile from a complete stranger it brightens my day. Especially when I’m not in a holding cell.
Soup: Describe the flooring in your home. Do you have carpet, hardwood, vinyl, a mix?
Good heavens, we’re scraping the bottom of the barrel today, quizzlet. All of the flooring in the lake house is lovely hardwood. It was lovely, anyway. Puppy claws and puppy pee has wreaked a little bit of havoc. My desk chair has also dulled the finish in my room. But I guess some wear and tear is to be expected when you live in the middle of a three-ring circus.
Salad: Write a sentence with only 5 words, but all of the words have to start with the first letter of your first name.
Death and violence in Darfur.
Main Course: Do you know anyone whose life has been touched by adoption?
One of my best friends was adopted and his home life seemed normal by most standards. On Pluto. And the children that Brad and Angelina have adopted, who by now I think could qualify as a municipal township, seem happy enough. I’d rather have my own children, but would certainly adopt as a last resort. I think the children who grow up to have healthy, happy lives as the result of adoptive parents far outnumber the horror stories we hear.
Dessert: Name 2 blue things.
The lake I am currently looking at. It’s beautiful and we’re putting the dock in tomorrow, so boating season will officially begin very soon. My skin after the dock is in and I emerge from said lake. Good God in Heaven, that is going to be a cold dip. But the boating must commence! Wish me luck.
