What are you wearing? Faded blue jeans, navy hooded sweater
Ever been in love? Absolutely! :)
Ever had a terrible breakup? Mmmm, not really.
Any tattoos? Nope. I'm not anti-tattoo, just not something I've ever wanted to do.
Any piercings? My ears are double pierced, but, because of my sensitive skin, it hurts to wear earrings, so I think they've kinda closed up.
Favorite show? All-time favorite is The Brady Bunch. My favorites on Netflix are "19 Kids and Counting" and "Once Upon a Time."
Favorite bands? Toby Mac, U2, Newsboys
Something you miss? Sometimes I miss my old record player and records! I mostly miss family that I don't get to see often.
Favorite song? Can't get this one out of my head the last few weeks. The acoustic version is even more beautiful than the studio version. My favorite lines are, "I can't fight you anymore, it's you I'm fighting for," and "Birds fly high in the summer sky, and rest on the breeze. The same wind will take care of you and I, we'll build our house in the trees . . ." So poetic. Deep sigh. lol "Ordinary Love," by U2
How old are you? 45
Favorite Quote? "Words which do not give the light of Christ increase the darkness." --Mother Teresa
Favorite actor? Jimmy Stewart
Favorite color? I'm far too indecisive to truly have one favorite anything, but to choose one color is especially impossible. There are so many lovely ones!
Loud music or soft? Depends on my mood. Probably more loud than soft, though. :)
Where do you go when you're sad? I often can't really go anywhere, because I have too many things I need to do. Sometimes I retreat to my bedroom, or outside if it's nice. Wherever I am, I pray. I know God doesn't need me to be in a certain place in order to hear me.
How long does it take you to shower? Some of these questions are funny. An average of 10 minutes, I suppose.
How long does it take you to get ready in the morning? Anywhere from 15 to 45 minutes, depending on how much "getting ready" I'm doing that day.
Ever been in a physical fight? No, other than my sisters and I slapping and pinching each other occasionally when we were little. lol
The reason I blog? I love to write. Blogging is a way to organize my thoughts, and hopefully encourage others along the way, too. This particular blog is an exercise in transparency, something I feel like I need to practice more.
Fears? Spiders, tornadoes, heights--big time! A bit of claustrophobia as well.
Color your hair? I haven't for quite a few years. I used to color it blonde in high school, and, maybe a decade ago, I went through a reddish phase, and then a blonde highlight phase. I may color again someday.
Last thing that made you cry? A tough parenting day today.
Last time you said you loved someone? Today, a little while ago.
Meaning behind your blog title? Look at the top of this page, under "Transparently Me" for the explanation. :)
Last book you read? I think it was Reshaping it All by Candace Cameron Bure.
The book you're currently reading? I'm going through two at a time, and very slowly, too! They are completely unrelated to each other! lol A Love that Multiplies, by Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar; and Bono, a biography by Michka Assayas, a French journalist.
Last show you watched? Okay, okay, it was a Brady Bunch episode with LM, okay? lol :)
Last person you talked to? LM (my son)
The relationship between you and the person you last texted? Hold on, I have to look . . . She's my mom, I'm her daughter. :)
Favorite food? Trying to choose a favorite food is as bad as trying to choose a favorite color. Mexican is always good, though!
Place you want to visit? Besides wanting to visit all of our far-away family members, the places I'd like to go that I've never been are: Ireland, Israel, Prince Edward Island, places where Laura Ingalls lived.
Do you have a crush? YES!!! I recommend nurturing a crush one one's spouse! :)
Last time you kissed someone? About 15 minutes ago.
Last time you were insulted? Hmmm. Not sure. I try not to take others' opinions of me too seriously, unless they are lovingly confronting me about something. Not that I haven't been insulted. I just can't think of anything serious enough that it stayed with me.
Favourite flavor of sweet? Chocolate, of course!
What instruments do you play? I took about 6 years of piano as a kid, but haven't kept up with it enough to say "I play the piano." It was something I enjoyed, but didn't have enough natural talent to be great at it. I'm okay with that. lol
Favorite piece of jewellery? Definitely my engagement/wedding rings. They are the most meaningful. But then there are all the necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc. that LM has made/bought me over the years . . . I'm really not into wearing a lot of jewellery, though.
Last song you sang? See my favorite-right-now song above. :)
Who should answer these questions next? I tag anyone who wants to do this!
