Manic Mondays on Wednesday

Visit the Manic Monday site, every Monday she posts questions to stir your bloggy mind. It's been a few Mondays, and since I should be packing for our trip to Nashville (more later) I will do what I do best. Procrastinate!! Enjoy!

Do you enjoy brain teasers or do you find them frustrating?

I enjoy them. I have some fun games that involve puzzles, my favorite is the square with the numbers 1-12 in little squares that move around. I kick ass at that.

Do you have any unusual collections?

Of coarse I do! I followed after my mom and collected Archie comic books until a bit after I was married. I have over 200 of them.

I also collected Cherished Teddies. I started after I saw that my best friend in H.S. had a collection and we went shopping together. I was reading the names on the bottom of them. And came across the bear above. Her name was my name. But I NEVER see my name spelled the way I spell it on a collectors item. I had to have her.

Since then I have collected about 15 other bears. I am specific that I don't want all 500 that they have made. But I want the ones to go with my life. I have the Italian Bear, the Wedding bear (mom and daughter) the pregnant bear is my newest.

I also have a collection started of a copy of each of the Stampin' Up! catalogs. I have about 8 years worth. I would love to have older ones.


I used to collect Garfield things. I have everything from pencils, and note pads. But I am in the process of dwindling it down.


I also collect Shel Silverstein books, Dean Koontz books, and Sark books.


I am a bit of a note book junkie. Thank god for the blog, I have stopped collecting Journals that I don't use!


What do people notice about you within the first hour of meeting you (other than appearance)?
I am more feisty, I am off the wall. I am very unconventional. I like to talk, and get to know everyone.


Do you screen your phone calls?
Doesn't everyone? That is what caller i.d. is for, right?


When was the last time you lost your temper?


Today. My mom was on the phone and said they would not be keeping the dogs for the whole week we will be gone in Nashville. Because it would be to big of a deal. I tried so hard to control my anger, but then right when I got pissed and told her I wished they hadn't said anything to me about it. She said "April fools"... wanker. She got me again.


When you're lost, do you ask for directions?
Yep. I am very good about direction. And where I am going. But if I am lost I am lost. And I hate to waste time trying to just go another way. I will stop, ask directions, and go on my way!
