Oh well, I still met some really great people there!<br /><br />Thanks for answering the questions! <br /><br />Amazing Grace is so powerful, it never gets old. <br />Birdiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09240886179336298463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168521040936634641.post-61261353266919830432015-08-25T05:36:01.233+02:002015-08-25T05:36:01.233+02:00And because I felt inclined to answer your questio...And because I felt inclined to answer your questions, here we go.<br /><br />1) My mother is an assistant and my father is a security officer. Neither career appeals to me all that much, but I'm not entirely fond of data entry either, which is what I do now. I'm not sure where I'll end up, probably publishing since I have an English degree.<br /><br />2) Grizzly bears, yes. Too many horror stories.<br /><br />3) Pack a picnic lunch, grab my family or a friend and go to one of the Colorado state parks, probably Mueller. I'd love to take my photographer friend along.<br /><br />4) I go to museums for the sake of others in my family, namely my historian sister who loves all kinds of museums. If I had a favorite, it would probably be an art museum.<br /><br />5) I get all 4 seasons, which is awesome! Lots of sun, fresh air, and beautiful snow in the wintertime.<br /><br />6) THE OCEAN! I'm in a landlocked state and after living 6 years of my early life on the Oregon coast, this is very hard for me.<br /><br />7) It's a miniseries instead of a movie, but I absolutely loved <i>Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell</i>! Such an awesome series!<br /><br />8) It depends on what you make of it. I miss the world before Facebook when you could blog and actually get responses and I miss the era of the forums. I belonged to a really fantastic Lord of the Rings forum back in 2002 and you just don't see that type of thing anymore. It's really sad. I like technology fine, but not at the expense of genuine interaction with others.<br /><br />9) I play Frozen Free Fall and that's pretty much it. But I do love it!<br /><br />10) It's probably cliched, but Amazing Grace, not only for the sentiment, but also for the story behind it.<br /><br />11) Butter Pecan ice cream is the best. Yum! I do love chocolate, but I think this ice cream tops even that for me.Carissa (Regency Woman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16052175780167961631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168521040936634641.post-64250905601488219982015-08-25T05:26:09.438+02:002015-08-25T05:26:09.438+02:00Thanks for answering the tag, Birdie!
I love that...Thanks for answering the tag, Birdie!<br /><br />I love that you would fund scientific studies for yourself with the $10,000. That's a pretty neat idea and one I hadn't considered.<br /><br />Yes, you are so fortunate living in Europe. I've only visited Canada for 3 hours and that's the extent of my travels outside the US.<br /><br />You've never seen <i>Star Wars</i>!? Wow, I was literally raised on the original trilogy. Still love them today!<br /><br />And yep, I love Watson too because he is so much more approachable. Although Holmes isn't quite as peevish in the stories as he can be in film.<br /><br />I first started blogging on Livejournal too, many years ago. I wish I hadn't deleted that blog, though. The mistakes we make in the heat of the moment.<br /><br />Carissa (Regency Woman)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16052175780167961631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2168521040936634641.post-26232973209517560762015-08-17T01:25:52.187+02:002015-08-17T01:25:52.187+02:00Nope, no bears here anymore, unless they escape fr...Nope, no bears here anymore, unless they escape from a zoo.

Definitely, there is every reason to be afraid of those animals! Luckily I don't think I'll often run into them.

My dad is a pastor and my mom is a teacher. But when I was at home, my mom was a stay-at-home, homeschooling mom, which is what I am now.<br /><br />2. I think I'm reasonably afraid of animals like grizzly bears and crocodiles.<br /><br />3. A whole day off? As in, someone is watching my kids all day long? Wow. I would go to Starbucks and write for a few hours, eat lunch out somewhere, then go to a movie. Then go to the bookstore and browse the sections I rarely get to browse, aka not the kids' section :-)<br /><br />4. Yes, we do. I like history museums best, but I enjoy art and science museums too.<br /><br />5. I like our neighborhood and our house, and the fact that my brother and his family live less than an hour away. <br /><br />6. I don't love how many people there are around here -- I miss small town and rural kinds of solitude.<br /><br />7. Best new-to-me, you mean? <i>North & South</i>. <br /><br />8. Both. Better in how fast we can communicate and share information. Worse in how much time we waste on them.<br /><br />9. None.<br /><br />10. "My Home is Built on Nothing Less."<br /><br />11. Chocolate ice cream.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.com
