So, I am leaving the blogging up to you my readers….chat amongst yourselves, and I’ll check in later on in the day…that is, if I am able to….who knows how busy I will be :)
Enjoy yourselves! I know I will.

Michelle you beat me to it again. Oh well, I’ll get another comment in after I read todays post. Here is my response to yesterday’s questioneer.
Hi Michelle: And how are you today? Any luck with Sunday’s open house? I am wondering what is happening with our out of town friends and with your team as well, any clues you can give me?
Sure. I’ll answer this. Why not?
1. What time did you get up this morning? 6:00am, I’m a light sleeper, first crack of dawn and I’m up.
2. Diamonds or pearls? Neither, I can see this is designed for women. I don’t have a single piece of jewelry, nor would I want one.
3. Last movie you saw in the theater? Cannot remember.
4. What is your favorite TV show? Futuramma or Breaking Bad
5. What do you usually have for breakfast? Oatmeal, a banana, and fruit juice (OJ).

12. Favorite item of clothing? My MBT shoes of course.
13. If you could go anywhere in the world for a vacation, where would you go? Don‘t know. Never gave it any thought. Have never been on a vacation since being a child. Sweteno sounds nice, but that isn’t of this world.
14. What color is your bathroom? It was white last time it was painted.
15. Favorite brand of clothing? Whatever fits .I do prefer Levi’s jeans.
16. Where would you retire?. I’m not going to retire any more than I already have. Again, I have no plans.

18. Favorite sport to watch? Little League Baseball.
19. Furthest place you are sending this to? Don’t understand this question, you live in Southern California, right?
20. Who do you expect to send this back to you? No one.

24. Are you a morning person or a night person? Neither and both, I am a person though.
25. What is your shoe size? Very large “13”
26. What pets do you have? Do fleas count? Just kidding, one thing I do is try and keep good personal hygiene.
27. What did you want to be when you were little? Everything, I mainly wanted to be like my dad (a father and an electronics tech) until I became rebellious. Now I am happy just being alive, and being who I am. What am I? Depends on who you ask.
28. What are you today? All I am is me. I had, at one time, the potential to become anything that I aspired to.

32. What are you listening to right now? J.J. Cale
33. What was the last thing you ate? A granola bar, blueberry.
34. Do you wish on stars? Not really, can’t see many stars due to the bright anti-crime lights. I do contemplate things while staring at the moon.
35. If you were a crayon, what color would you be? I like green as well, has always been my favorite color.
36. What is your pet peeve? Drivers who are too busy with their cell phones to watch for pedestrians. I come close to being run down at least once a day. Sometimes once per block.
37. Last person you spoke to on the phone? George, a friend who owes me some money, he called to tell me he is moving out of state. I know to never loan what I cannot afford to give away, but in this case I was flat out lied to, and it is a hefty sum. Bye-Bye George.
39. Favorite soft drink? Arizona green tea, I never drink sodas.
40. Favorite restaurant? Don’t know, it’s been so long. It isn’t Denny’s, I can tell you that. I do like steakhouses.

42. Favorite day of the year? Any day that I don’t wake up feeling nauseous, or whatever day it is. I have no preference. Today would be a good choice.
43. What was your favorite toy as a child? Legos, and any kind of model kit or chemistry set. I really liked flying airplanes and launching rockets too.

46. Chocolate or vanilla? Vanilla.
47. Do you want your friends to e-mail you back? Sure
48. When was the last time you cried? Can’t remember, I’m always crying, just out of tears.
49. What is under your bed? Dust, as far as I know. Maybe the boogie man is under there.
50. Who is the friend you’ve had the longest? That would have to be Felipe or David, if were talking about people I am still in touch with. 40 years each one. Barry is my best friend, like a brother.
51. What did you do last night? Laundry and some meditating.
52. Favorite smells? Fresh breath and clean pussy.
53. What are you afraid of? Finding Barry dead in bed. But that can’t happen, he just suffers a lot, So I guess it would be something happening to my father or one of my brothers. Dad is 84, and Bryan suffers with MS, my brother in law Bill has cancer all over his body.

55. How many years at your current job? What job?
56. Favorite day of the week? No favorite.
57. How many states have you lived in? 2, Michigan and Florida.
