GRAPEFRUIT JUICYFRUIT.

1.  When were you last facing an ocean? Using just ONE word, describe how you felt as you faced that ocean. 
~ A few months. I feel God totally and completely at the ocean.
2. What are three sounds you hate to hear?
~ Any living thing, human or animal, crying in pain or fear.  A ringing phone in the middle of the night.  Whining.
  
3. This question comes to you courtesy of some real life friends. Hi real life friends! When you shop for yourself, do you try everything on in the store before buying or do you buy, try on at home, and then return what you don't like or what doesn't fit?
~ It completely depends on how I'm feeling that day, what I'm wearing, how much time I have, when I need the outfit.....if I'm tired or rushed I might not try stuff on.  If I'm wearing clothes that are a real pain to keep taking off and putting back on...not going to do it.  If I need the outfit for later that day.....I'll be trying it (and approximately 42 more outfits) on....and chances are that none of them will make me happy.
4. February 26th is National Pistachio Day...are you a fan of the little green nut? Do you use them in cooking and baking or prefer to eat them right out of the shell?
~I like them, but mostly I bake with them
 
5. When did you last have to compromise with someone?  Were you happy to reach the compromise or slightly irritated it was necessary? 
~ my life is a compromise all the time.
6.  Have you ever written a letter to an elected official? Did you get a response?
~I have written many notes to officials. I always got a response. Some that actually seemed like the read the letter
7. We 'March' into a new month at the end of this week...what's something on your March calendar guaranteed to make you smile?
~ Five days off school and work at Easter!
8.  Insert your own random thought here.
~ life has been hard for the past week, with mom's 2 suicide attempts, then breaking her hip, 2 more attempts in rehab, heart something, school, homework, work, hospital, baking for a client, getting ready for the 'show' this month etc... I need a nap. Actually, what I would like to do is sleep in Sunday then go to a movie. All alone. But, with the homework I have due Monday plus hospital duty, it won't happen. One day I will treat myself. It has been a long ass day. Heading to dreamland...
