1. What distracts you from what’s truly important each day?

I can't think of anything that is truly important daily. Like today it's our anniversary, so we're going out for dinner. I'm not going to get distracted. There's my answer. If it's important, I won't be distracted. I'll see if the next one is better.

2. If you decided right now that you had enough money, and that you would always have enough, what would you do with your life?

We might travel more. Fly first class. It's on my bucket list. I guess my life wouldn't change that much.

20. Are you a fan of mayonnaise in a sandwich (either egg-based or vegan)?

I don't like mayo at all. I use cream cheese for sandwiches. I love sandwiches like that. This one was short and sweet. I think I'll post another recipe tonight. Do you all prefer dinner or dessert recipes?

Have a great Friday.

I love this because it has no meat in it. It's nice now and then.

21. When was the last time you heard music played live (at a concert, in a musical)?

Oh my gosh, it's been years. We heard Jim Croce sing before he died. I saw Paul Revere and the Raiders in 1969. That's it. I wish I had a big list, but I don't.

How about you?

Things I Like About Myself (I'm early again)

I like many things about myself. I'll try and list them here:

1. I'm a good wife.
2. I'm a good mom.
3. I'm a great grandmother.
4. I'm kind.
5. I'm a good listener.
6. I'm understanding.
7. I'm loyal.


I'm boring myself. Sorry folks. Visions of doing the Snowflake Community again.

How about you?

When you picture yourself 10 years from now, what do you want to have achieved and experienced?

Ten years from now, I'll be 84. I can hope that I'm still writing fanfic, but I might not be. You never know how your life is going to turn out. Also, people pass away all the time. You don't know what's in store for yourself.

Second part of the question. I have achieved many things in my life, so I believe I passed with flying colors.

How about all of you?
