Would you ever?

Nope!

WYE just take it easy?

Take it easy like in being inert? With three girls 3-1-1, always something to do. Being mom is hard work.

Would you ever do something on the spur of the moment?

Yes. I have done it before and there were times I had fun and others where I could not wait to get back home.

WYE build a fire with sticks?

Yes. Done that when camping with my then boyfriend, now husband. NOT easy.

Would you paint from a photograph you took?

Yes! I love drawing inspiration from photos. I used to sketch with charcoal like that, but of WWII photos.

Would you paint the ceiling of a room in your house representing one of Michelangelo's pieces?

Not that talented. But would be awesome. So yes.

Live in a tiny house.

Yes. Throughout the course of my life (just turned 37 this past December 23) I've lived in mediocre, small, suitable, or very big places to live. I'm quite adaptable.

WYE open a bookstore?

The idea sounds great, but more of a non-fiction reader than a fiction reader and fiction is the genre that makes or breaks most bookstores. So, unfortunately, no. (Plus, most successful bookstores now are more than just bookstores now, i.e. they are coffee shops, etc.)

WYE sell everything to just roam about at your heart's desire, working just enough and long enough to pay your way to the next destination? I.e., give up materialism and consumerism?

Absolutely, yes.

WYE swim with sharks?

Did that, unintentionally, in the Philippines. Diving off Grande Island in Subic Bay and spotted a Hammerhead ahead below me. Surprisingly not scared but got out of the water sooner than I was planning to.

WYE hike the entire length of the Appalachian trail?

I would love to, I've hiked parts of it, but my knees would never allow it now.

WYE try to learn a new language?

Yes! I know some French and Ecclesiastical Latin. I am actually going to take a course on learning Ecclesiastical Latin.

Would you ever wrap 100 baked goods for a bake sale whose profits went to helping those in need?

Absolutely. More if I thought they would sell.

WYE migrate permanently to a country whose official language is not English?

No. I have a very difficult time leaning new languages, although that doesn't stop me from trying!

WYE snowboard/ski the Alps?

Yes. Would an awesome experience.

WYE Pick-up roots and transfer to a third-world country as your company's representative.

Definitely.

WYE crochet a blanket?

Wouldn't turn out well, unfortunately.

WYE Take part in an expedition to the South Pole?

I get cold remarkably fast. I would definitely watch a documentary on the South Pole 😉

WYE write and publish a book?

If I had the talent or patience, I would. These days I can only manage journaling about my father's dementia.

WYE become a substitute teacher? Most communities are in desperate need.

I think your journal about your father would make for an excellent, inspiring, and emotional book.

Yes! In college I studied in the English Education Department for 1.5 years but ended up back in the English; Creative Writing Department. I shadowed a teacher for a semester in the Special Ed. Department of a local high school. I had an amazing experience. I used to want to be a teacher for the majority of my life. Anyway, yes, especially if the community was in desperate need.

WYE own and tend to a greenhouse filled with an array of plants and flowers?

Yes, absolutely. Love gardens and gardening.

WYE Scale a vertical rock wall for enjoyment.

Quote by Meagananne1986

Yes, absolutely. Love gardens and gardening.

Awesome! Same here. The porch was made into a small getaway with plants, hanging flowers, a couple chairs and a mini hidden bookshelf. It's great to go there at night and turn on the lights that are wrapped around the balcony. I also have a couple gardens, one is a vegetable garden. And a couple plants and flowers in my room!

Absolutely! I used to wall climb. And climb/hop the huge rocks at the beach. I love that kind of stuff.

WYE restore paintings in museums?

If I had such a gift and talent.

WYE be a curator of a museum?

I would love to but with only a bachelor's in my field, doubt I would be considered qualified. I also have a Master of Library & Information Science, though, which I guess could help.

WYE sell your home and live on cruise ships fulltime (yes people do this)?

Nope. I love where I live - across the street from the church I attend. I love hearing the bells every hour. (People really do this? Learn something new everyday!)

WYE learn sign language (if you don't already know)?

My language learning skills have declined, but that's one I might consider.

WYE go to a "meet and greet" to meet a musical artist you are a fan of?

Sure, although I remember as a teen I very much wanted to go to the meet n' greets for the N SYNC concerts I went to and now as a 37 year old the appeal has kind of worn off.

WYE drive a motorcycle?

Big nope. Blasting down the road without a steel/aluminum/composite shell around me ain't happening.

WYE handle a snake?

Probably, although I never have.

WYE handle a tarantula without gloves?

I'm screaming inside at the thought. I have a huge fear of spiders and bugs and tarantulas, oh my! 😳😲

WYE have a picnic at the top of the mountain you previously climbed?
