Cottage by the Sea : PenPal Questions

Welcome friends. Another weekend is well under way and I hope you are all navigating it well and happily. I am writing this a few days ahead but Sunday's weather should be partly sunny with highs in the 40'sF. When I was younger I didn't much care about weather except in Utah where I found the

unrelenting sunny days of spring/summer awful and longed for rain!! But now I follow Windy.com and I have developed a real interest in weather patterns etc. I try to keep track of the weather on here for future reference.

Welcome to Sunday Stealing. This feature originated and published on WTIT: The Blog. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!

Stolen from League of Extraordinary PenPals

1. Do you make new friends easily?

Not really. Though I am an extrovert most of the time, I am also somewhat reserved. I am not a hugger and kisser type like many are.

2..Which podcasts do you like at the moment?

I listen to E. Michael Jones and Joseph P. Farrell most often. I also like Dark Journalist

3. One thing that immediately makes your day better

Spending time with those I love. Sitting outside.

4. What app do you use most?

I don't use my phone for anything except phone calls. I keep it as far away from me as I can.

5. The friends who would have your back no matter what.

I have a few yes.

6. What is something you’ll never do again?

My piano

Surf and ice skate.. two things I loved but, I physically can't anymore.

7. Something you practice often.

My piano.

8. What gives you an adrenaline rush?

Movies or videos that are too intense. They bother my heart quite a bit.

9. How well do you do in social situations?

I do fine. I like people, I love parties and get togethers.

10. Are you a light sleeper or a deep sleeper?

Both at different times. It varies.

11. Do you get stage fright?

No, I don't. Let me amend that and say I don't get stage fright for acting out a part of speaking. But, for singing I do.

12. Which family members are you closest to?

My kids. The rest of my family are dead.

13. How was your February?

It was okay. Not as wintry as it should have been though.

14. What is your favorite candle scent?

I like autumn scents and I love Balsam Pine. and always Yankee Candle as in my opinion they are the strongest scented candles. Oh, Sparkling Amethyst is nice too. It's from DW home at TJ Maxx.

The Closing of the American Mind by Alan Bloom. Still relevant today and an important read.
