Am quite partial to trains...be they passenger...freight or the kind that only I can pull.

Love city commuters and long rural lines, over water, over bridge, over prairie, but most of all in the desert deep where no one or modern building be. They're most beautiful at sunrise or best glorious at sunset.

Should I come back, I'd an engine be. Pulling hundred car freight trains from sea to shining sea.

2) Pull practical jokes, and just so anti-social to get away with it.

3) Am not fond of reading as an act. Rather listen to an unabridged tape or a
person narrating the story. Like to shut the eyes and just drift away.

4) Don't put up holiday decorations; as, I do not like the task of taking them
down until next year.
5) Once hands and more severely feet get chilled, the only way to warm
them is in hot water.

5 Things Nobody Would Know!

1. I love green olives! On salads, on sandwiches, out of the jar!

2. One of the girls at my Starbucks thinks my name is "Josephine" because that's what I tell her every time I get my quad flat white.

3. Years ago I worked with a woman who was a complete asshole. She was mean and nasty to just about everyone in the office. One day she made another coworker cry and it pissed me off so bad that when the asshole left her desk to go to the copy room I farted in her purse and zipped it closed. No, I don't know if it trapped it but it was damned satisfying to think it did.

4. I am fascinated by people. I love to people-watch and I love watching the way people traverse the world of dating, work dynamics, and friendships. It's like people TV!

5. I'm thinking about a career change. Maybe a drastic one.

I have a weird little collection of candles. Maybe I should send some to June.

I took a nap today for the first time in months. I liked it but am groggy as Hell.

I'm hungry. I thought someone mentioned pizza. Maybe I should traipse downstairs to find out if I was only dreaming/wishing it so.

I'm off tomorrow and get to see a buddy I haven't seen in a while! Woot!

I think that my future has shifted in the past few days and it's so noticeable that I can almost imagine the click as it switched gears.

I once let an adorable little girl - that had "challenges" - paint my finger nails all kinds of funky bright colors...some even had 3 different colors that CLASHED..., just so we could get her to talk and open up enough to interact with people around her. (I never paint my finger nails, but couldn't resist her wanting to "show" me how she wanted me to paint her's...but she wouldn't express it verbally.)

When I was 3-6 years old...my step dad called me "Squirrel"

I have slight nerve damage on the right side of my face... makes me shy to smile because my smile is lopsided and I HATE to have my picture taken.

I HATE onions!! (people always make fun of me for that one)

I used to hang my little sister's Barbie dolls on the clothes line...and snicker when she was too short to reach them, but would climb like a monkey to get them down. Trust me, she got paybacks. She and I both have MEAN right crosses!!

[Enchantress]

I have an obsession with caprese salad

I almost always think that I've left my purse on top of the car. I Panic first and then realize that it is in the back seat where I usually place it. Sometimes if I'm on a road trip and I've stopped to walk Lulu, I panic thinking that I've accidently left her behind (until I see her in her carrier that is). I'm working on squelching the panic and using critical thinking skills first. Uh huh.

I love rocks. I love to collect them, look at them and display them (I'm pretty sure this makes me a nerd). They are considered a "metal" element in Feng Shui.

I have cordless telephones but strangely I prefer an old fashioned princess style phone with a fifty foot long cord. When I first bought the cord I worried that Lulu would become entangled when I walked around. Luckily she has learned to stay a few paces in front of me to avoid danger!

I have the strangest desire sometimes to play with Barbies (don't judge). It doesn't seem fair that little girls get to have all the fun.

lets see what I can say this early morning,for me anyway.

Im an old softie but not someone that can be walked over very easly.

Love to cuddle in the easy chair wih my fur kids,we three often fall asleep in the thing.

Enjoy siting outside at night just looking at the stars and watching fireflys.

Love roasting marshmallows over a camp fire till they are burnt and really good.

Would love to walk on a sandy beach just doing nothing else at all .

I'm watching Shear Genius

I need an icy Diet Coke Big Gulp very soon

I'm battling my yearly beginning of summer cold--achoo!

I miss certain people every day.

I'm sick of thinking of what I should have said AFTER the moment has passed.

[apretty]

as a girl i took piano lessons.

my dad's nickname for me was 'little lulu'

i miss my grandma

i never answer my phone. once i had 3 months of voicemails that took me a half-hour to get through.

watching the family guy on dvr totally relaxes me. (ez doesn't get the appeal.)

I only get manicures and pedicures a few times a year, including today. My favorite color is OPI Hawaiian Orchid, a sheer pink neutral. I got married in it in 1985, and I haven't found a better color since.

The most relaxing thing I can think of is spending time in the woods. Love a cup of coffee on a breezy evening, sitting on the porch of a cabin.

I tried on my summer clothes today and found that some of them are fitting better than they did last year. Yay for Weight Watchers!

I have to get up at 4am so I can take a train to NYC. I hate the idea of getting up so early, and equally hate the idea of trying to sleep.

I'm going to eat a cup of low fat ice cream with cut up cake (no fat), blueberries, strawberries, and cool whip. All on the diet. Wahoo!

[Jet]

I wear an initial ring that my father gave me.
It's become a trademark; people always ask me where I got it.

Once I lost it for 6 months and it about made me crazy.

I'm one of 3 people on earth without a tattoo.

When I move, I want an art room with 3 model airplanes from WWII suspended from the ceiling.

I have vertigo/height issues so bad I can't look out a glass elevator without
getting dizzy. Escalators go without saying....
(I think it stems from dad rocking the seat on the ferris wheel when I was little..)
