I missed this somehow. Loved the idea of pairing Kadir Nelson with a non-slavery book.

I was in hibernation last week, so I missed this, and, well, everything else. But if you are still doing it... I'll play.

Sorry I missed this! I have been sick (hack, hack). I would be happy to participate in the interview meme if it's not too late. Re: clicks and cliques on your most recent post... we have in these parts what is called "The Seattle Freeze." People are cordial on the surface, but it's really hard to get to know people in-depth. I don't think that people are deliberately exclusive, but just so busy and overwhelmed that they don't want to expend energy on something that might not work. Just a theory. I have learned not to have expectations of connections, but just to put myself out there as someone who is approachable and friendly. Six years later, it's starting to take.:)

Now that root canal is done, the colonoscopy is finished, I can be in the real world. (um, both doen over a two week period of time). I would love to have questions from you. Hope I am not too late.

Yes, I'd love to do this meme!

Hey, I'll play. I am currently incapable of finishing either of the two books I'm reading, so my normal blog updating is becoming decidedly abnormal.

Ooo, pick me!

These are great answers! I really enjoyed reading about your perspective as a kid-grownup-senior. I think zeelibrarian is right about time. I am going to start relaxing and enjoying every minute... tomorrow. LOL

I LOVE your ebook idea. That would be a fantastic project! I love Kadir Nelson and of course Sachar would write a great story. I am 100% with you on thetheme too.

Thanks for playing!

Love this. Really enjoyed your answers. I miss my kid body, too. She could really run. Plus do some really killer cartwheels.

And by the way, I was a Girl Scout leader not too long ago, and I know this is cookie season, and I say to you BRAVO. Talk about your stress. No one who hasn't done Girl Scout cookie sales could ever know.

I think my problem is while my kids have two activities each, I want to have ten! I want to work part-time, run a blog, be a Girl Scout leader, read lots of books, write a novel, learn piano, paint watercolors, travel the world and more. At this point I have to recognize my limitations, and concentrate on the first four (maybe five).

I'll think of some questions. Tough ones.

Good morning, MR! I would love to do an interview thing with questions from you. Please count me in. Ask away.

I also wanted to comment on one of your answers, though. You said that you were looking forward to getting more time when you are older. I think time is just like money or any other resource. We will always find a way to use all of it unless we make a conscious effort not to. I know the time with your kids is important, but someday your kids will be gone, and it will be just you and hubby (God willing). The kids will be doing their own things and where will that leave you? How many opportunities pass by? I think it's a balance. DO spend time with your kids; there are too many parents that don't. But also take time for you. It seems like every kid is involved with 10 different extra curricular activities. What's wrong with just 1 or 2? If everyone did just 1 activity they loved, it might be more manageable. Anyway, thanks for posting your survey. I enjoyed reading it.
