I'm It, Part Two

I was also tagged by Sarah at  My Life in Contradictions.  She had some good questions too and I couldn't resist!  After all, this blog is all about me and answering questions about me fits the bill.

1. Do you or did you before blogging, also write in any other formats? I have so many journals filled with embarrassing, angsty crap, I shudder to read it.  But I can't toss them out, those words I wrote might hold a nugget of good buried in all that other junk.  Blogging is better.  It makes me refine what I write, gives me an outlet but at the same time I am aware that people read what I write, so I try to write good things.  Not so much of the angsty stuff now days!
2. Why did you start blogging? I wrote about that here but the simple story is I wanted to write funny bits of life that my husband could read when he was deployed.  I know for a fact he fell off his chair laughing once, so I count that as a huge success!
3. Do you ever stop reading another blog because the grammar or spelling makes you crazy? No.  I've got a soft spot for poor spellers, being as I am a poor speller.  Case in point, I naturally did not spell grammar right!  I have stopped reading another blog because I was tired of ridiculous pity party rants.  It seemed like every comment I left turned into a disagreement with her.  Since I don't know her at all, and it is her blog to blog about whatever her heart desires, I felt it was rude of me to be all up in her business.   I graciously quit her and have been happier for it.  I'm sure she feels the same!
4. Have you ever met the author of a blog you follow? Nope.  Here's a terrible secret, my blogging friends, I'd probably throw up with nerves.  Who wants to met that?
5. What is your all time best thing you ever ate? My Grandma's little wild mountain blackberry pie.  Let's just say, it is an honest to God slice of heaven.
6. If you had one week, and an unlimited Visa card to go anywhere in the world, but you had to spend that week alone, where would you go and what would you do? I'm with Judy on this one.  Not take the hubster?  Not going to happen.
7. What is your one pet peeve of all time? I hate to be ignored when I'm talking to someone.  You'd think it was just little kids, but at work I can call back to a desk I know a person is at and not get answered.  If I'm taking the time to talk, it's nice to be given the courtesy of a listen!
8. Have you ever visited a place and felt that you belonged there? The beach.  My soul is satisfied with the smell of the sea and the feel of the sand.
9. Do you prefer to have a grocery store employee pack your bags or do you prefer to do it yourself? I have gotten so used to the commissary baggers packing my bags, I would not even now how to do it myself.  That's kind of embarrassing!
10. How big was your graduation class and have you ever attended a reunion? I don't know.....160?  I can't remember how big our class was!  We did go to our 10th reunion, and now we have rsvp'd for our 20th.  Both my husband and I hated high school, but love the idea of showing up at the reunions, still together, still in love, which I'm sure makes us slightly less good people!
11. How do you feel about salon care: hair coloring/styling/manicure/pedicure/massage/facials? Hate it.  Hate it all!  I can barely stand to get my hair cut.  I die a ticklish death with pedicures.  I'm a bare minimum fuss kind of girl and that is a good thing.
