The basic idea is that Karen answered 11 questions about herself, provided by another blogger, then came up with 11 questions to pass along to me and 10 other bloggers. We are to do the same. I’ve already had a great time looking at the other blogs Karen tagged, as well as Karen’s!
First, here are THE RULES as shared with me:
- You MUST post the rules.
- Answer the questions the tagger sent for you in the post, and then create 11 new questions to ask the people you've tagged.
- Tag 11 bloggers, however, you can break the rules and tag fewer people if you want. Make sure you hyperlink their names/blogs.
- Let them know you've tagged them!
- Have fun!
- How would you describe yourself with exactly six words?
- What’s a great book you can recommend for my next vacation read?
- What are the top two countries you want to see that you’ve not yet visited?
- Do you collect anything (what)? If not, is there something you’ve thought about collecting?
- If you could name a lipstick color, what would it be?
- What outdoor activity do you most enjoy?
- Which non-profit organization do you (or would you like to) passionately support?
- Which household chore do you most loath?
- What’s the earliest “appropriate” time of day to have a glass of wine?
- If you could have one of the following personal service providers come to your home free for a year, which would you most want to have? a) house-cleaner, b) a meal planner/cook, c) a personal trainer/fitness instructor, d) a masseuse, e) a nanny
- What’s the oddest thing anyone ever asked you?
- Happy, wife, daughter, engineer, restless, planner
- I am a huge non-fiction fan, and one of my favorite books is The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. I also just finished reading Freakonomics by Steven D. Levitt and Stephen J. Dubner and really enjoyed their take on the world.
- Australia and Morocco (or really anywhere in Africa).
- I collect postcards from all over the world. We pick up a post card every time we go somewhere new. I also have most of my globe-trotting friends trained to send me post cards when they travel. I have been trying for years to come up with a good way to display them all. Any idea?
- Sugarplum
- I love gardening. My forever house will have a huge garden full of flowers and produce.
- The South Dakota Wildlife Federation had a huge impact on me during high school. They aren’t some huge global organization out to change the world, but they are near and dear to my heart.
- Washing dishes. Good thing I married a guy who is willing to trade dish washing for cooking duties.
- There is an appropriate type of wine for any time of day.
- House-cleaner, hands down! I love to cook and am relatively active on my own, so a) and b) are out. We don’t have any kids, so e) wouldn’t do me much good. A masseuse would be nice, but I would rather have a clean house.
- See #5. I’m sure I’ve been asked stranger questions, but I can’t think of any right now, and my bags aren’t going to pack themselves!
- Where do you want to live when you retire and why?
- If you could take a year off from your “regular life” to do anything, what would you do?
- What was the last song you listened to?
- What is your favorite thing to cook/bake?
- What is one thing you are looking forward to in the next year?
- When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
- How many US states have you visited? How many countries?
- Mac or PC?
- What is one skill you learned from your parents that you use today?
- What is your favorite drink (with our without alcohol)?
- What state or country do you call home?
- Newly Dependent
- Andiamo!
- the.scattered.psyche
- bejellyfish
- The Past and the Pending
- Happily Ever After
