Friday Ramblings

Appetizer
What is the nearest big city to your home?
San Jose, California.

Soup
On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how well do you keep secrets?
Hmmm. I haven't been asked to keep a "secret" for a long time. Many times a situation might call for discretion and I think I'm ok at that. I respect other people's privacy and I try not to butt into other people's business.

Salad
Describe your hair (color, texture, length).
My hair is straight, a little past the shoulder and blond.

Main Course
What kind of driver are you? Courteous? Aggressive? Slow?
I would like to think courteous! :) I used to be a fast driver and have several certificates from traffic school as proof. The last few years I have slowed down quite a bit. I have even caught myself going below the speed limit!

Dessert
When was the last time you had a really bad week?
Quite a while, actually. Around Christmas is the last I can remember.

Oh well. It seemed like everyone else had Much Ado About Nothing and I was hoping to get that one too.

I thought I would get in on this week's theme for Weekly Geeks. It comes from Samantha, who suggested we should write about our fond memories of childhood books.

Alot of people have already named many of my favorites like Nancy Drew and Misty of Chincoteague. I also loved Ramona the Pest as well as all the other Beverly Cleary books. Later on I came of age with Are You There God? It's Me Margaret.

When I found The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander I was transformed. I loved that series and read them all with a fellow sixth grade girl in what was my first book group! The High King, which concluded the The Chronicles of Prydain won the Newbery Medal.
