So, I missed 5 Question Friday yesterday, so I figured I’d play today. I got the questions from some of the other blogs I read, as many of them play along. Feel free to use the questions on your own blog! Enjoy!
1. What’s on the top of your holiday wish list and why?
Hmmm…hard call. There’s really not too much that I need right now, so I guess I’d go with a Barnes and Noble gift card. I’m planning on loading up my Nook for when the baby comes so I have some reading material while I’m home, and for when I’m cleared to exercise and I can get back on that treadmill.
2. What is your favorite Christmas gift from the past?
Hmmmm…hard call. Probably the pony from when I was 9. Oh wait…I never actually got a pony when I was 9. My parents just tricked me into thinking I was getting a pony. They would stage conversations from the next room, when they knew I was listening saying things like, “Oh, she is going to love this pony!” and “Did you feed the pony today?” There was a big box in the living room and in their staged conversations, they talked about how they were feeding the pony through a hole in the living room floor. I spent hours in the basement looking for that hole. Guess what? It wasn’t a pony.
3. If you had life to do over, what would you be when you grow up?
Um…I wasn’t aware that my life was over and a done deal at this point. I think there are still opportunities to try new things at this point, and I’m not sure I’m quite grown up yet. That being said, I love teaching. I’m very fulfilled by my career. I do wish, at times, that I had not changed my major and had pursued music or that I had majored in English and pursued writing as a career, but although I don’t do any of it professionally, I teach piano and sing in the choir and play the handbells and I write this blog and am working on new novels, so I am satisfying those pieces of myself, as well.
4. When do you put up your tree?
Normally, pretty soon after Thanksgiving. However, the kids and I went to get it out of the basement the other day (yes, we have a fake tree) we realized that it is in my parents basement, as we moved it there when we listed the house. All of our decorations are at my parents. So, we’ll go over on Sunday and pick them up. Still gives us plenty of time to enjoy!
5. What is your favorite Holiday?
Halloween. See my October posts.
