What three inanimate objects can you not live without?
As much as I wish it wasn't the case, I need my laptop or a computer. I also don't think I could live without air conditioning or a bed.
Today is my late great, great grandma's birthday. She died 20 years ago at the age of 106 when I was 18 and I remember realizing that my great, great grandma was my grandma's grandma, so that leads to today's question:
Did you know any of your great or great, great grandparents? Do you have any...
I moved stuff around in my office/dining room which included putting the dog bed closer to my desk and the deck door. The dog bed thus became the most hopping place to be when I'm working. All pictures were taken Thursday afternoon, so there was a lot of turn around. :lol:
Flora and Poppy...
A video about this ice breaker question came across my Facebook feed this morning, so I thought I'd ask it here.
What is the one crime you would commit if you were guaranteed to get away with it?
I would financially destroy Amazon and Jeff Bezos and then appropriately compensate the current...
What one thing do you wish were cheaper?
I know, there's SOOO many things that should be cheaper, so only naming one is hard. I'd say a car though. Since I'm hoping to have a baby next year, I want to upgrade from a sedan to an SUV but all cars are just so expensive!
I have three cats and two dogs and there's never really been an issue with them tolerating/getting along with the each other. Maisie is always trying to rub up against the dogs which only confuses the hell out of them. Remy's relationship with the dogs is...confusing because it seems like he...
There are a lot of funny and random holidays for every day of the year. My birthday for example is appropriately National Hug Your Cat day.
If you could make up your own funny and/or random holiday, what would it be called and what day would you choose?
I'd probably do one for my birthday...
I have four litter boxes for my three cats. Two are upstairs in my craft room/guest room and two are in the basement laundry room. I want to move all of the litter boxes to the basement so the guest room can be used like an actual bedroom without it smelling like a cat box. Do you think this...
I was throwing the ball for my dog yesterday when I noticed a cardinal tapping it's beak against the window of my garage and it made me think of today's question. A lot of people see an animal that hangs around a lot as a sign from a dead loved one letting them know they are okay. Cardinals are...
What are some charitable causes that mean a lot to you?
Because I work in homelessness prevention, affordable housing and helping people find stable housing and get out of poverty is one cause that's important to me. Other ones include mental health, disability rights, LGBTQ+ rights, human...
What is something you know you should do more often but don't?
Since I work from home and don't drive that often, I only get my oil changed like every 15 months. I know I should probably be doing it sooner, but I really only go when I start getting alerts on my dashboard. I also don't change...
What was the last picture you took? Share if you want to.
The last picture I took was of a ceramic box that I made last week. It has rainbows on it, so I jokingly called it Pandora's Gay Agenda.
What do you think is the most important phrase or sentence to know when you go to a country where you don't speak the language?
I had this thought the other day about what I would say if I went to Norway (the top place I want to go) and needed to communicate with residents. For me, I think the...
Who is someone you look up to?
I look up to my younger sister. She is the type of mother I hope I will be one day. We've also gone through a lot with our mom lately, so I just appreciate that she's someone I can rely on and trust.
Do you have a life motto? If so, what is it and why? If not, is there a motto-like quote that you really like?
My life motto is Stand Up, Keep Fighting. I have it tattooed on my arm. It's attributed to Paul Wellstone (Minnesota senator who died in a plane crash). It's my motto because it...
Do you know you know where your ancestors were originally from? If so, where?
I haven't taken any DNA tests but my parents and brother have. I know for a fact that my great, great grandparents were from Norway and Sweden on my mom's side. My last name is German so I have German ancestry on my...
Easy question today.
What was the last thing you purchased?
I bought yarn from Joann's earlier tonight. I also bought a desk from Facebook Marketplace today since my current desk is falling apart and the sit-stand attachment is heavy, so I'm worried the desk won't survive for much longer.
What is your favorite interior design style? Is your home decorated that way?
Here's a link that shows some popular styles.
For me, I like maximalist styles and from the link I posted, I like transitional, Boho, eclectic and mid-century modern. My house is decorated in an eclectic manner...
What good thing(s) happened to you in 2023?
For me, it's all kind of connected, but I made the decision to have a baby on my own in the next couple of years. In order to be a single mom, I need to get my finances under control and in the last few months I've been taking the necessary steps to...
