Respond and Rework

I got this from Kandice See­ber, who got it from the BeadedLily’s Sketch­book blog — sounds like a fun meme!

THE RULES:

Respond and rework. Answer the ques­tions on your own blog; replace one ques­tion that you dis­like with a ques­tion of your own inven­tion; add one more ques­tion of your own.

THE QUESTIONS:

What is your cur­rent obsession?

Once I fin­ish up my grades, I’ll get back to work­ing on borosil­i­cate glass leaf pen­dants, try­ing to work out some nice shapes & colors.

Which item from your closet are you wear­ing most lately?

Jeans, jeans, and more jeans, with the occa­sional cargo pants thrown in there.

What was the last thing you bought?

A cou­ple of mag­a­zines this after­noon dur­ing our reg­u­lar Sat­ur­day trip to Borders.

What are you lis­ten­ing to right now?

Noth­ing except the ambi­ent noise around here. Some­times silence is the best!

What are you reading?

Anna Quindlen’s Rise and Shine

What 4 words would you use to describe yourself?

Intro­verted, cre­ative, sar­donic, strong-​willed

What is your cur­rent guilty pleasure?

I don’t really have guilty plea­sures, but maybe it’s read­ing “chick-​lit” and romance novels.

What would you do if the inter­net was irrepara­bly dam­aged and you had to find another way to connect?

I would like to think I’d write let­ters, but I’d prob­a­bly just stay uncon­nected. I’m not a phone per­son so that’s out.

Where would you go if you could travel any­where right now?

Prob­a­bly New Zealand, since that’s the place I most want to visit.

If you could grant some­one else one wish, what would it be?

I’d give my father a cure for his heart dis­ease and pul­monary fibrosis.

What flower are you most anx­ious to see bloom this spring?

Actu­ally, I’ll be just as happy when every­thing quits bloom­ing since the pollen has made me utterly mis­er­able this spring.

What are you most happy doing?

Hang­ing out with my hus­band, or melt­ing glass, or both together.

Care to share some wisdom?

Two things:

1. Life’s not fair, so get over it.
2. If you’re in a hole, stop digging.

If I walked into your work space today what would you want to show me? What would you want to hide?

I’d want to turn on my torch and show you how I make my beads and pen­dants. I wouldn’t really want to hide any­thing in the work­space, but I might close some of the other doors in the house!

What makes you laugh out loud?

The ICan­HasCheezburger and IHasA­Hot­Dog web­sites. They also make me go “Awwwww!”

How many pets do you have, and what kind?

Three cats, plus the 80 or so I work with as a <a href=“http://goodmews.org>Good Mewsvolunteer.
