Is your house messy or neat?
My house is fairly neat. There are issues with dog hair, oldness, and my tendency to start improvement projects and lose motivation; but for the most part I keep a clean house. I believe in everything in it's place and a place for everything, but really...it is just me so I can do a full sweep of my house in approximately 15 minutes (10 if I have my ipod).
Who is your favorite hero and why?
This was on my myspace page for years, and I actually caught some flak for it. I am my own hero. That's right, ME. I have tripped up so many time on my path to happiness/success/fame/fortune and have managed to pull myself up each time and keep moving forward. I use my past journals as instruction manuals on how not to eff up again. I consider myself my best teacher and model. Conceited? Maybe. Effective? Definitely.
What's in your pockets right now?
I have no pockets, but even if I did they would be empty. Everything goes into the purse. Even trash. I am not proud of this.
Do you own a Kindle? Why or why not?
I don't, no particular reason other than I just haven't gotten around to purchasing one. Also, I don't go enough places to require a mobile reading device. I still do fine with books.
Do you believe in God? Why or why not?
I believe in Something. I don't believe in the usual "God", long robe, white beard/hair, sandals; however, I do believe that there is a force guiding life. I also believe that fate, providence, and luck all are components of "God". I don't believe in hellfire and brimstone, as the Something I believe in is based in peace and kindness. The Something also has a great sense of humor and likes to psyche me out from time to time, just to make sure I am getting the full experience.
What is your favorite thing about living in Covington? Fave activities, places to eat, things to see, etc. (This is absolutely NOT me pumping you for ideas. Nope. Not at all.)
My favorite thing about living in Covington is being able to walk my dog to the square and back. Sad, isn't it? I live on the outskirts of a lovely neighborhood, and in the Spring and Summer I enjoy walking by the pretty houses. I also enjoy the Sportsplex and pool. I splurged on a membership last summer and it has paid for itself tenfold. Many Sundays, I am the only person at the pool! I hate that Covington could not support it's Starbucks, and I have yet to find a good coffee joint that doesn't sell other folk's crap they no longer want. I wish Covington had more of a tennis community. Marlo's patio is a great place to hang out in the summer, but GAWD who can afford that??? With a little more retail (dining/coffee) and rec opportunities, Covington would be Awesome.
What would your dream job look like?
It would look like me, laying on a chaise lounge on my patio, reading magazines whilst my paypal account fills up with donations from adoring blog followers.
If you could go back in time 10 years and tell your younger self something, what would it be?
Do not, I repeat, do not leave Memphis. No matter what is offered or promised...don't do it. Oh, and also...do not smoke that cigarette after the Audabon Park 5k just to see if you are actually over smoking. You won't be and that will be a grave mistake.
What was the most interesting place you've traveled to?
It seems too obvious to say NYC, but I will have to go with that anyway. I saw everything from a PETA protest gone awry to a man wearing a live cat on his head. Don't see many of those wandering around Covington, TN
