September 15 Random Dozen




1. Do you do garage sales? If so, tell me about one great find. If not, tell me why not.
rarely....mainly because I have enough of my own junk to toss out....plus no time really to scavenge around.....


2. Name the last thing you fixed.
a flat bike tire about a month ago


3. Name your A) Favorite item of makeup OR B) Favorite tool
fave item of make-up is the sea green eye shadow I bought from Burt's Bees....love it...goes on smooth, doesn't crease, and lasts all day into evening. Plus I'm not allergic to it...a huge plus!


4. Which room in your home needs organizing more than any other?
my husband's side of the closet and his "work/tool" area in the basement! Notice a trend here?


5. Which room could use re-decorating?
the family room...and it will be....hopefully before xmas...we're getting bamboo flooring put in to replace carpet that is 16 years old!


6. Share something unique about your town.
it is so large that we have 2 huge town parks, the town is divided into "north and south" each with its own school district....but...there is only 1 town supervisor and no mayor. It's weird around here...and the north part of town has like 4 different zip codes....oh! and the Shakers first settled here. Needless to say the Shakers are slowly dying out...hm...I wonder why! (google it if ya don't know anything about the Shakers!)


7. If you could send a one-sentence message to your great-grandchild, what would it be?
um...well.....I am hoping it is a VERY long time before I have grandchildren, let alone great-grandchildren. But..this is what I'd say:  Love the Lord your God with your whole heart, soul, and mind and love other people as you want to be loved your self.


8. Do you Facebook?
yes but a lot less these days....it's no longer "fun" to me.....


9. Describe your favorite shoes.
bare feet!  but if I HAVE to choose:  my awesome short boots with the high heels....all leather with a silver buckle....LOVE those and they are comfy! plus they look great with skirts, skorts, jeans or leggings....


10. Do you listen to more talk radio or more music radio? What kind of station is it?
Music Radio, usually Christian, sometimes the classical and sometimes the jazz


11. How far would you travel for a really good (favorite) meal?
to Paris! Seriously....we ate so well there but...if you mean realistically, then about 45 minutes....we have done it and we love it...it's well worth it!


12. If you were totally honest with yourself (and us) what should you probably be doing right now instead of blogging?
finishing the laundry or vacuuming the basement...but not my husband's side...that's his job :)

That's it! For more Random Dozen Fun head over to Linda's at 2nd Cup of Coffee. Link up and join in!

Your blog does make me feel very welcomed. Love your header. Thanks for dropping over and visiting with me. I will have to look into Burt's Bees shadows. I try to stick with natural items. Beautiful answer to #7. I agree with your Facebook answer. I go on to see what my nieces have posted about their children, that's it. I love that you have sides of the basement to clean.

You'll have to let me know how you like the bamboo flooring. We might be looking at new flooring one of these fine days.

I'm one of the few who has never gotten into Facebook. Or Twitter for that matter.
