i bring you the whimsical answers of joanna jenkins of the ever-entertaining blog with a large following - the fifty factor. i defy you go there and not learn something or be amused or touched. but first, read her answers to my questions.
1. why blog?
I blog because it's fun--plain and simple.
2. if you could do something all over again, what would it be?
When I used to travel extensively on business I didn't take advantage of extending trips with personal time so I could actually explore the countries I was in-- France and Italy especially. It was such a missed opportunity that I blame partly on my youth and mostly on trying to race up the corporate ladder.
3. when you go antiquing or to flea markets, what do you look for every time?
My dream is a big farm house with lots of land. That's never going to happen so instead I look for architectural fragments to introduce elements of rural living into my contemporary home. I figure eventually I'll get that farm house one fragment at a time.
4. coffee or tea?
Definitely tea-- Iced tea with lemon.
5. meat or veggies?
My perfect meal is a juicy steak, baked potato and a salad loaded with vegetables and blue cheese dressing.
6. is fifty the new forty?
As my blog profile says, not one single person mentioned "40-anything" on my 50th birthday but I'm clinging to the hope that it's true.
7. if you were a car, what would you be?
I'd like to think I'd be a well maintained and much loved, red, Ford Mustang convertible. In reality-- I'm probably a very reliable Volvo.
8. what's your ultimate comfort food?
Warm chocolate chips cookies and a big glass of ice cold milk. That or anything with gravy on it.
9. when nobody's looking, i....
...Eat the last of the above mentioned cookies.
10. what would you grab if there was a fire?
Laptop, wallet, husband and my grandparent's silver candlesticks-- Not necessarily in that order.
* * *
thank you, joanna, for playing along. if it's any consolation, i can totally see you as that mustang convertible - but definitely one of the classy, vintage ones with their beautiful lines, not one of those big, beefy clunky ones they make today.
