The Time I Am In . . . What To Do With It?

Blast! I'm supposed to be at the MCCW thing this morning by 9am. It's Mass and a study that follows. But, I haven't been in weeks since the first one due to dentist appointments and illnesses . . . and now I feel so far removed from it, on my own part, that I don't think I'll go. This may come across as mean, but Mass if fine and dandy, but the study they are doing is weak. Well, for me. I am tired of dissecting myself to death in relation to anything or not. Is that strange?

So, I've been hiding in the books The Lord of the Rings lately. Once I close the last book (which I am reading now), I know I'll watch the films again . . . and then again with the commentary of the actors (the voice overs while you watch the film; the actors talk about what was going on etc. - it's really pretty cool). But, that's, like, 9 hours back to back, or more. Uff!

He's still my favourite character:





Here's a lovely award I was given by Allison. Thank you, lovely lady!
I bestow this award to Marcy and GrandmaK. Who, incidentally, awarded me this:





I have to answer these questions. Here goes nothing:


IF YOU COULD COME BACK AS AN ANIMAL, WHICH WOULD IT BE?

A bald eagle (if this question were geared toward an inanimate object, I would hands down choose a cricket bat)

SOMETHING YOU COULDN'T LIVE WITHOUT

love

WHAT DO YOU VALUE MOST IN ANOTHER PERSON

honesty


THE COLORS YOU TEND TO WEAR ARE

red . . . and blues

THREE WORDS THAT DEFINE YOU

Christian. Creative. Laughter.


A PLACE YOU WOULD TRAVEL TO

The United Kingdom (if that hasn't be said enough for God'sakes!)

YOUR FAVORITE QUOTE FROM A BOOK OR MOVIE

When Collin's friend asks him where in America he is going, he replies, "Wisconsin!" (Love Actually) **it's just the entire scene has me in tears, it's so funny!

SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO

act in a movie - supporting character


YOUR MAIN STRENGTH/FORTE

laughter man, seeing the funny in the whole of it.


You are also supposed to send this on to seven "young" blogs and seven blogs of wisdom. the nice thing about something like this is that it enables us to get to know one another just a little bit better and these 'tags, you're it' are fun and finally, if you have blogger's block, instead of walking around the block (get it...hee, hee???), you have something instant and easy to post.

• I am too awful lazy to do this part. Most of the folks on my side bar have been at blogging a while and not too young in it, but if you are one who has been blogging less than two years, help yourself to this award, please!
• As far as wisdom is concerned, I don't link to dumdums, so if you fancy yourself as wise as I do, snap this up for yourself! Trust me, I don't waste my time on blogs I don't like. If I follow you or you're on my sidebar, it's good.

4th Folder, 4th Photo Meme

Bloody hell. I guess I better clean out my photo files, yeah? This is from WAY back when I decided to post the mess we needed to clean out of the closet . . . old blog. The old blog is gone, but this mess . . . ach du libre! . . . is still there. In fact, it may have become worse. In fact, I'm sure it has. Uff dah!

I will add, tho', my side of the closet improved immensely as I bothered to clean it, donate unused clothing and shoes, and it still looks great today. This picture is my husband's side. If I clean it two things will happen: A) I won't get any thanks, I'll just get questions (where is "blank" and did you throw away "blank" - at which point my fingers are in my ears and I'm singing la-la-la; not that I need to do that because I'm hearing impaired) and, B) My cleaning his things erases his responsibility to keep his things orderly and neat - meaning: it will be my thankless task until death doth us parteth.
