Over the Top Award from Margaret

Margaret of Old Digger gave me this Over the Top Award. She has a wonderful blog that I know you'd enjoy. Do stop by and check out her site.


Here are the rules: You have to answer these questions with one word answers and then pass it on to three other bloggers.

1. Where is your cell phone? backpack
2. Your hair? gray (actually sort of striped black and white... hmmmm...sounds like a skunk)
3. Your mother? Violet (My grandfather gave this unofficial name to her because he liked the nobility of its color and humility of the flower's shape.)
4. Your father? Deceased
5. Your favorite food? butterfish (I really want to say chocolate sundae but I'm being good. Art just walked in and said, "Butterfish? Butterfish?!? I thought you'd write BACON." I would NEVER admit to that!)
6. Your dream last night? grandkid
7. Your favorite drink? frappacino (I like it, doesn't mean I drink it.)
8. Your dream / goal? driving (Nope, still can't truly do it. I just drive to the farmer's market and even that scares Art.)
9. What room are you in? office (it's a home office and my favorite place)
10. Your hobby? genealogy (for now... usually it's blogging... Notice it's not housecleaning?)
11. Your fear? Spiders (If you put a photo on your blog, I won't be able to visit.)
12. Where do you want to be in 6 years? Hawaii
13. Where were you last night? home (We don't usually go anywhere at night.)
14. Something you aren't? fearless
15. Muffins? can't (I'm pre-diabetic, I have to watch my carbs.)
16. Wish list item? monitor (I want a bigger computer monitor. My eyes are getting bad.)
17. Where did you grow up? Waipahu
18. Last thing you did? market (I drove to the Farmer's Market at 6:30 AM.)
19. What are you wearing? clothes (LONG sleeve t-shirt and LONG jeans! Can you believe I'm actually feeling a bit chilled? It's actually rather cool this morning. Tourists have been complaining that Hawaii is too cold right now. Love it!)
20. Your TV? Off
21. Your pets? none (My mother has enough trouble picking up cat poop from neighborhood and feral cats.)
22. Your friends? fabulous (I love you guys!)
23. Your life? fortunate (Keeping my fingers crossed about avoiding tsunami's, earthquakes, fires, etc.)
24. Your mood? grateful (I am, I am.)
25. Missing someone? Everybody (I was going to write KC but come on, I miss her parents, my son and daughter-in-law-in-spirit, my beautiful friends in Illinois, and on and on and so forth.)
26. Vehicle? Prius (It's great, anti-lock brake recall or not)
27. Something you're not wearing? tank top
28. Your favorite store? Ross (discount store)
29. Your favorite color? Fuchsia (not red, not purple, not pink)
30. When was the last time you laughed? morning (2 minutes ago when Art made fun of what I wrote about my favorite food)
31. Last time you cried? (can't remember... Art usually tries to make sure I'm happy, bless his heart.)
32. Your best friend? everybody (love them equally and differently)
33. One place that I go over and over? Don Quixote (It's a grocery store.)
34. One person who e-mails me regularly? Gerri (She keeps me up to date on Illinois happenings and always lets me know that I'm in her thoughts. I wish everybody could have a friend like her.... or Peggy or Dina or Diane or or Jean or Joan or Carole or Joanne or Judy... If I left out your name.... try e-mailing me.)
35. Favorite place to eat? Cheesecake (Factory--But I never get to go unless we're in Illinois. They've got this chocolate cake that's out of this world. Oh yeah, I'm pre-diabetic.... oh what the heck!)

You know that I don't pass out awards but please pick up this award and have fun with it. I did. I can't seem to stop changing the answers.

P.S. You know I can't really stick to one word answers!

  2. Interesting to know you are prediabetic. I'm struggling with that. Just started a book about it. It's interesting how many bloggers are either prediabetic or full blown diabetics.

    But no diabetes and heart attack yet. knock on wood.

  6. Considering the many parallels in our lives, it's kind of spooky that my mother's name is also VIOLET!

I really LOVE hearing from you! However, if you sign in as ANONYMOUS, please don't forget to tell me who you are in the comment box by just writing your first name. We would all appreciate it if you kept your comment respectful and kind.

I’m using Comment Moderation for any post that is more than a day old because of aggravating SPAM. Therefore, if your comment does not go up on an older (more than a day old) post, it's because I need to OK it first. I'm sorry to have to do this, but again... sigh... it's the spam that's driving me crazy.
